This is an alpha quality-version 'starter' of an EMarket Product. I have lots of work to do to 'process' purchases, but the basic idea is there.. and it shows one possible way to use Zope Folders as a super class for more or less generic folderish objects. I'm doing this as a way to learn about Zope, but also produce something that might be useful for me (and maybe serve as a beginning example to someone else!). Suggestions, patches, etc etc.. welcome.

Cool! I was just sniffing the properties problem when you posted your workaround. We'll get that fixed in a jiffy, but you won't see it till the next release which might be a while. Zope Product developers should be using the Zope from the public CVS which is Ken's baby, and from what I understand on it's way soon! (I could be wrong, Ken might smack me for making promises I can't keep) Your Product is cool. Let me give you some 'bug reports' for you next release: Put a README.txt file in the Package and Zope will sniff it and put a link to it in the Product Managment area A version.txt file will also get sniffed and placed into the Product Management area. The format is ProductName-x-y-z on one line A suggestion is to ask for the eMarketMailhost settings in the manage_addEMarketForm instead of sniffing the localhost and assuming that the SMTP server is the same (this one bit me, the machine I installed eMarket on a machine with a drainbamaged sendmail). And, what is it? eMarket or EMarket?

Good Luck! -steve

Thanks! More products all the time...we really need a central product repository of some kind. sigh. -Michel
