nope, wasn't that :)

I'm actually following the example from chapter 3 of Zope: Web Application Development and Content Management.
the annoying thing is that I've tried it three times now, triple++ checked everything. and it's worked once, and failed twice.

i don't know if this will fix it, but you might try naming the product CalendarEvent and the class calendarEvent, so there is a distinct namespace between them.

Subject: [Zope] simple z-class problem

Hi,

I'm having intermittent problems with the simplest z-class within a new product, through the ZMI.
I'm going through the stages of

1) I create a new product, CalendarEvent.
2) inside Test, I create a z-class, id: CalendarEvent.
3) inside this, I add some property sheet with some properties through the properties tab.
4) finally, I change the default view to propertysheets/Prop/manage from the dropdown list.

Now when I try to create an instance of it in a development folder, I get the constructor form, but then a NameError:
Error Type: NameError
Error Value: global name 'CalendarEvent' is not defined
trace below:

I have done this exact procedure before, with success. Now it doesn't work. I've rebooted the zope server.
I'm using Zope 2.5.1, Python 2.1.3 on Solaris 2.7.

Has anyone else seen this, or can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
