[Zope] Return of Zoo guestbook problem.

9 Apr 2001

      Hello all,

I'm trying to tackle the Zoo GuestBook example from the Zope book:
http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/SimpleExamples.dtml

I've got it all working except the last part in the AddEntry python
script. I now have Zope 2.3.1 installed on my ISP's system. The script
craters on the first line which reads:

      """
      Create a guest book entry.
      """
      # create a unique document id
      id='entry_%d' % len(context.objectIds())

With the following error message:

Zope Error

             Zope has encountered an error while publishing this
resource.

             Error Type: NameError
             Error Value: context

             Troubleshooting Suggestions
