ANNOUNCE: Z Classes Tutorial Update
There's a new version of the Z Classes Tutorial available http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Reference/ZClasses It's now available in HTML and PDF flavors. (The HTML is pretty ugly, but it should be a lot better in the next version.) This version of the tutorial has been updated for Zope 2.0.0a2. The next revision of the tutorial will probably be as part of the forthcoming Zope Developers Guide. As always I'd love to hear your comments. -Amos P.S. Please remember that Zope 2 and Z Classes are still not production quality. There is some significant work left to do on Z Classes. See the CHANGES.txt for more information. P.P.S. Nevertheless, Z Classes are really cool ;-) -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

I have a general question about ZClasses: Why can they only be used via creating a Product? Seems like that kind of defeats part of the purpose of having ZClasses -- freeing people from writing Python methods in a lot of cases (which requires superuser priveledges). By only being able to add ZClasses through the Product interface, one has to have superuser priveledges to create ZClasses, right. What would be much nicer is for ZClasses to be creatable at any level in the Zope heirarchy. Thanks for any insights you can provide on this.

My only suggestion is to add a short note about defining property sheet permissions in between "Creating Z Class Instances" and "Using ZClass Instances" on p.5. Before being able to see the Properties Tab on your new ZClass instance, you have to go to /Control_Panel/Products/CDProduct/CDClass/propertysheets/common/cd_info\ Define Permissions and map properties to 'manage properties'. Or is this just that Properties bug that was being discussed? Alex Rice | alrice@swcp.com | http://www.swcp.com/~alrice Current Location: N. Rio Grande Bioregion, Southwestern USA

Excellent, now I can get the properties to work! (sound of backflips and cartwheels), except in my installation it's: Control_Panel/Products/CDProduct/CDClass/propertysheets/common/cd_info/manage_security Cheers, Michael Bernstein.
