Hi all!
Is possible to create an object (for example a Page Template) and make it catalog aware?
Look at the CatalogAware mixin class.
But with this class I could create a new class of PT Catalog aware, isn't it? I would like to convert a normal PT is this possible?
It makes little sense to index the contents of PTs. PTs are used to present a view on a particular instance of your class but not for providing content itself.
I wonder why the objects aren't catalogable by default (I need all my object catalogables)
Because Zope is not CMF and Zope is not Plone. Because you need this feature it does not mean that everyone needs this feature by default.
-aj Sure but Is the cost so big?
This is not the question. If you need catalog awareness, either implement it as stated above or use one of the frameworks....little need to discuss the pros and cons...by default Zope default content-types don't depend on the catalog. CMF and Plone depend on the catalog for various reasons. If you have the requirement to use a catalog you have the mentioned options.
-aj
Yes but what about something like
if self.default_catalog != '': self.reindex_object()
?
I think it's a question of preferences
Then can I "inject" Catalog awarness to an object?
Yes you can. Its possible with so called monkeypatching. However if you can do that, you better just write a product w/ subclasses of the standard zope objects and your CatalogAwareness. Its easy and clean and you dont interfere with further development of zope.
Regards Tino Sure, but I can't create a new product for every product I'll use only to do it catalog aware, isn't it?
Can you say more about monkeypatching? Thanks! -- Mis Cosas http://blogs.sistes.net/Garito
