PS! Sorry for replying to the "cron" topic, my bad... Here is the same question again slightly modified, with proper topic.
A client have a Zope installation (ver. 1.10.3). Now, this installation seems to be, eh, a far bit obsolete. I have no idea why, but even the simplest things that should have worked (while coding DTML) doesnt.
Wow, that is *old school*! ;-) Neat.
Thus, I have installed Zope 2.6 (latest version right) on my Win32 workstation here... I would really have liked to be able to get the client application made in 1.10.3 to work on 2.6. I did a futile attempt on exporting and importing, but eh - even the Zope newbie me figured that only magic could make that happen...
Is there anyone with a good clue of how to export from 1.10.3 (i.e. "export.bbe") to this new version?
(Or does any of you more experienced users have a good idea of what I would have to do to get this application working on 2.6? ... )
Well, there is an ancient "bobobase conversion tool" named bbb.py that comes in the utilities directory of Zope 2.6 that converts a bobobase to something that more recent Zopes can understand (a file named 'something.fs' that is a filestorage file you can put in your Zope "var" directory. FWIW, it's being removed in Zope 2.7. I think you can run this like (for example): python bbb.py -f converted.fs data.bbb This should put a converted.fs in the same directory from which you run it, then you can rename it to "Data.fs:, stick it in your Zope var directory, and try to start Zope. This may get you at least part of the way, but I suspect you will run into more problems after you convert the storage file over... - C
