Martijn, Thanks, that was the critical piece of knowledge I was missing. I can add Schedulers now. I need to learn more about CMF too. The documentation for CMF seems minimal too. Thanks, Derek Basch --- Martijn Pieters <mj@zope.com> wrote:

I have spent the last few days tyring to work with the Event and Schedule Products from the CVS tree:
http://cvs.zope.org/Products/Scheduler/ http://cvs.zope.org/Products/Event/
I haven't had much luck finding any documentation or examples. I can add Event objects ok but I get an AttributeError when I try to add a Scheduler obect:
Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: portal_events
Rather than wander aimlessly through the source I thought I would ask, does anyone has experience with these products? Feel like helping a newbie?
Sorry, I don't thin kthere is *any* documentation on these things. The Scheduler was designed for use in a CMF environment, and it expects the Events tool to be named 'portal_events'. Hence the attribute error; the scheduler tries to publish an event, and it is trying to get to the Events tool through that well-known name.
The code is somewhat anal in how you can change the Events tool name registered with the scheduler; the default ZMI add method for the scheduler doesn't accept an alternative. You *can* change it on the properties tab once the scheduler is created.
