Hi, I am new to Zope and am struggling a bit... I downloaded ZDiscussion 0.2.0, extracted it to the correct place and imported the additional zclass (whatever that is, none of the docs explains this). I can add a new ZDiscussion fine, but what than?? It seems like that's an empty folder with some special tabs, but how do I use the discusion??? Furthermore, where is a documentation that tells about that? The ReadMe only covers the DropIn replacment for Confera. Is ZDiscussion just the basis for a product like ZDConfera? If so, where are the features like Preview??? Regards Jochen

I have not used ZDiscussion or Confera. But I can tell you that Squisdot is very easy to install and complete once installed. For a newbie like me it was great. 30 min. it was up and running. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Cook, Coordinator FreePM Project | Chairman, Obion County http://www.freepm.org | Libertarian Party of Open Source for a Free World | Tennessee --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know Squishdot, it is quite nice, but not truly what I need. I am working on an editorial system for a newspaper. They want to publish articles and related material and from case to case add a poll or a discussion on the subject. I am new to Zope and python and so I am having some problems understanding how things work. SquishDot is great, but I would like to have a more basic approach and more control over how things work. But the available documentation to Zope is horrible... from the Content Managers Guide to the rest of the docs and the ZDP, there is much missing one has to know... - sigh - Jochen

Okay, so pop in Amos's Poll product: <s> http://www.zope.org/Members/mega/poll It works great too!

I noticed that the factory of my system is not working correctly. Although "default" is marked, all the files in "default methods" of the product are not copied to the new fodler. After manually copying the files, it works... This happens with Zope 2.0.1 as well as with Zope 2.1. Is this a bug?? Jochen
I don't have ZDiscussions in front of me, but isn't there a tab saying 'rebuild default methods' on the management panel. If I recall correctly, it copies the methods from the product into the instance, so that they are visible and editable. If memory serves, it is the farthest tab to the right --sam Jochen Haeberle wrote:

Thank you! Yes, that tab is there... and using the Restore-Button gives all the files in the discussion-folder. But is this the way this is supposed to work??? Jochen P.S.: How does one enable monitoring for ZDiscussions?

Yes, it is. It seems to only add the default methods when you create the Topic object in the root folder. I'll have a fix shortly, but in the meantime I've seen reports that using the 'Regenerate methods' view will work correctly and add the required methods. Mike.

Putting it in the root folder didn't work for me. Also, the 'regenerate methods' mathod doesn't render as HTML on (any) browsers mabye the mime-type isn't correct in the headers?. I had to add an <HTML> tag to get it to do so.

Yes, this works as does copying from the Products page, but it is no solution for my editors... Mike, I posted about a problem with your product, could you please have a look at this? I would like to include the main discussion on an article page, so people could start right discussing what they read. So the ZDiscussions folder would reside next to the article. The DTML of index_html in the discussion folder should be included in the article page, surrounded by >dtml-with discussion> , where discussion is the ID of the folder. This produces the surrounding markup but no tree-tag and not the alternative "no message in discussion" How is it possible to include the discussion thread in a page out of the discussion folder? Is there any documentation for zdiscussion? I would like something between zdiscussion and the Confera drop in, but am not good enough at reading python code directly :-( Thanks for your help Jochen
