The objects index/re-index/un-index themselves if they are created, edited, or destroyed. Thus, ZCatalog is used programatically.
Those that are ZCatalogAware, sure, but what about the basic Zope objects that aren't. ExternalMethods, DTML*, and such don't inherit from ZCatalogAware so how are they kept up-to-date in the index? Have they acquired special methods you've written that make them self-indexing?
Nope, they simply aren't used. We punted on the idea of adding catalogability to the stock Zope objects, it could break lots of stuff. Instead, we decided it would be better to develop the infrastructure to develop catalog aware objects. This is still pretty early in the game, no set infrastructure has been realized yet. Many of the elaborations of the PTK address this issue.
Hmmm, so would this explain R. David's inability to find certain documents on zope.org via the search engine? Basically any member DTML Documents on a topic would not be found? On Fri, 5 Nov 1999 14:16:40 -0500 (EST), R. David Murray wrote:
Now, I haven't gotten too far through the docs yet, where I'm sure this stuff is explained, but I wanted to get a couple things up and running quickly. So I figured, well, I'll just search the zope.org site for that variable to find out how to reference it correctly.
No matches.
Well, maybe that's not the right name...but, I should have gotten *one* match, on Evan's document where I read about it, right? So is something wrong with the search function on zope.org? Or am I not understanding what is indexed (in which case the search page could use some explanatory text)?
If so, perhaps the search page could benefit from rewording.
PS try to get those bug reports in before 2.1 goes final. ;)
I'm trying.... <grin> I've got several I've been sitting on until I could prove/document them. Don't release 2.1 _too_ soon. -Jeff Rush
