Alastair, > > I see from a message you sent to the Zope mailing list that you are an > expert with Ty Sarna's Calendar. Flatery will get you everywhere.;^) I figured it all out because Ty (as all of Zope is) made it Open Source! Thanks again Ty. Actually I consider myself a novice with the calendar because I still can't get it to change color.;) But the Catalog is something I've been working with for a bit. >What might I conceivably > put into my DTML documents that would replace the lines in your exampe code > that go: > >  > This line only gets me the objects that "belong" (have a property named 'recruiter' that has the user name stored in it of the person who 'owns' it) to that person.

The "date" is a property of the calendar tag. Incidentally, the whole ownership thing will be *much* easierr and consistant when the Zope Portal Toolkit comes out in a bit. The Owner role already exists, but I haven't got around to messing with it. Happy Zoping, Jason Spisak webmaster(a)mtear.com

You would need to make the object an ObjectManager, and have it's constructor instantiate an index_html DTML Object in each instance of your ZClass. This is a point of confusion alot of people make. They think that the things they put in the 'Methods' tab should show up in instances of their objects like subobjects in a folder. This is not the case. Objects in the Methods view are methods of the object. If you want a user to be able to edit a method, you either have to build your own editing interface (using methods) or make the object an ObjectManager to contain editable objects (like DTML Documents). -Michel

If you plan to just export/import into another installation, you will need to make sure that any .py files used by external methods in the product get installed into the new installation's Extensions directory.

Also, a MAC address is not portably accessible across all platforms for Python, so we'd have to develop yet another extension of questionable value to its intended goal. Once we have a few hundred million Zope users, we can see if we have any real collision domain.

Hi! I've been wondering what authorization does one need for submitting a new item? (I'm not talking about the password enabled direct publishing of items, just submitting an item for review.) www.zope.org asks for Basic Auth for me.

Assignment to Properties

Hi. I hope a simple question : How can I assign a value to a property from a DTML-Method.  is not the right way. prop1 is a int property of the folder containing the DTML-Method. Thanks a lot.

Well, the DCE UUID algorithm uses the NIC's MAC address, which is independent of the host name; host names tend to change, MAC addresses tend not to.
