What with cases where the Portal Toolkit is overkill? The UserFolder architecture serves just fine for my purpose, it's just that one missing property. Note that I don't know how integrated the ZPT will be into Zope, so maybe "overkill" is irrelevant in this case if ZPT will be fully grafted into Zope. But if not, and if it does not replace UserFolder, and if ZPT brings along with lots of baggage, I'd rather want to extend UserFolder than switching.
What I understood, the ZPT needs Zope 2, because it uses ZClasses. And with ZClasses, you can subclass the UserFolder and USer objects, and add your own properties. Yes, ZPT will be very integrated, because large parts are implemented in ZClasses. Those parts that are not, will for a large part be integrated into the Zope framework (like the Catalog, see Paul Everitt's last email entitled 'Collector Source?') -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
