so i have a very basic product. i would like after the __init__ is called and the object is created is to write its contents, id, title etc etc to a mysql database.

lo-and-behold, there exists manage_addAfter(self, container=None, context=None). But, now the question becomes, how do i call a zsqlmethod from my method inside of my product? do i import ZSQLMethod and create one on the fly? Can one be sitting somewhere in my Product directory?

help?

http://zope.org/Members/jccooper/extzsql makes it easy to have ZSQL methods in filesystem products. Even if you don't want to use it, you can see the alternate way to do it in the README. Don't be scared by the low version number. It just hasn't needed any fixing since being released. (Apologies for the formatting: it's not written in STX, but is being interpretted that way.) --jcc -- "My point and period will be throughly wrought, Or well or ill, as this day's battle's fought."
