Did you get anywhere here? I cant find the darn thing either. This should be removed from changes.txt if it aint in. -- Andy McKay www.agmweb.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eron Lloyd" <elloyd@lancaster.lib.pa.us> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2002 8:15 PM Subject: [Zope] Managing default_browser from the ZMI To all who worked on the 2.6 release, great work! I'm just now starting to process the changelog, and try to understand all the latest stuff. The one thing that kind of caught my eye is that during the first alpha release, there was an entry that stated: - added browser_default hook to ZPublisher. This allows objects to specify the path to the default method that the publisher calls when the object is published. The default for objects not defining browser_default is still 'index_html' for bw compatibility. A ZMI configurable browser_default implementation has been added to ObjectManager. You can configure browser_default for OMs via a new "settings" management tab. which maps to this 2.6 proposal explaining the intentions of default_browser: http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/ObjectTypeAssociationAndDeathToI ndexHtml This sounds like a very exciting feature, one that I hope didn't get lost in the shuffle of getting 2.6 out the door. A quick glance at OFS.ObjectManager and ZPublisher doesn't show any sign of this new behavior. Now, I haven't digested the rest of the changelog or the source yet, but the release announcement does list "Addition of a new default view setting ability" as one of the new features. Was this deferred to 2.7 (which is completely understandable)? Is help needed to bring it up to the Wiki proposal level? Inquiring minds would love to know. Still looking to bury index_html, Eron --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
