I want to do something very simple: I have a ZClass propertysheet with an integer property called "views" Every time I load the page, I would like to increment this value by one, and write it back to the propertysheet. (Yep, a good old-fashioned access counter)
Access counter in ZODb = very bad idea It's a transactional database with rollback capability so it will grow each time you increment your counter!
Sounds easy right?? Well, I can't seem to figure it out. Every time I get a little farther with Zope, something "trivial" like this completely knocks me for a loop and sends me hunting through piles of howto's for hours! argh...how hard can it be??
ZClasses are a little harsh on occasion....
Got this from the help page (hopefully on the right track)... manage_changeProperties(self, REQUEST=None, **kw):
However, there is no clear example of how to call without a REQUEST object.
Try this: manage_changeProperties(views=yourobject.getProperty(views)+1) Where will you be calling this from? cheers, Chris
