Does anybody have a recent-ish copy of Znolk wizard product or know where I could get hold of a copy. The original source no longer has it and the one on the zope.org site is very old. In particular I would like it to function with SQLite. Regards Garry

Doesn't think generate SQL methods or something similarly old and crufty? I seem to remember this thing spitting out dtml... Any reason you couldn't do what you want it to do as a seperate wsgi app? Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Yes it is old, but it is the only reliable thing I've found to rapidly generate database edit forms and csv up/download methods.

It generates dtml and ZSQLmethods reliably.

Yes, it is not used to generate finished apps, only prototypes and initial templates. Like my Ducati it's old, but like my Ducati it still works, and I'm not going to throw the Ducati away just because it's old. Regards Garry

You should really give Django a go for this sort of thing, from what I understand, it's one of its main sweetspots... Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
take collective.mercury this generates intterfaces from every table. with such an interface yaou need only a couple of lines to build an edit form for every table. somethings like: class DeclarationKLView(formbase.PageForm): form_fields = form.Fields(ItblDeclaration_klTable) ignoreContext = True # don't use context to get widget data #def __init__(self, *args, **kw): #ItemAddForm.__init__(self, *args, **kw) @form.action(_(u"Send")) def action_send(self, action, data): """Send the email to the site administrator and redirect to the front page, showing a status message to say the message was received. """ self.ToWhatIsNeededToBeDone(..) robert garry@schoolteachers.co.uk schrieb:

Times are fast moving. Interesting to see such interests in something ancient to start an excavation ;-) Znolk 0.1.9 is hidden on zope.org. http://www.zope.org/Members/zwork/Znolk_SQL_Wizard/default I think 0.2 was developed at bluedynamics and never released. http://svn.bluedynamics.net/svn/public/ZnolkSQLWizard/ ..Carsten

Maybe whoever wants to use it could pick it up and do a public, prominent release of the latest fixed version somewhere? Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

I thought this could be a nice idea and had a look at the code. Might be that it would not be hard. However this code is so crufty that I really would not want to touch it. Although not ttw and with the need of some coding, you can achieve a similar result with buildout and collective.mercury. I used this combination to create the needed forms for a postgres db with some 140 tables. robert
