Hi, I installed zope 2.13.8 per instructions on http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/2.13/INSTALL-buildout.html I created an instance outside the main Zope folder. Then I followed the instructions on http://plone.org/documentation/kb/add-ons/installing to try install ZSQLMethods: "Egg-based packages are very simple to install with Buildout." [buildout] ... eggs = Products.ZSQLMethods and run bin/buildout. I get the message: Unused options for buildout: 'eggs'. I read somewhere that I need a recipe but I can't find such thing neither is it clear where to put it inside buildout.cfg. Can someone enlighten me here, please? Frankly, I miss the old drop-in Products folder. There might be advantages with the new system(s), but simplicity is lost and no documentation seems available. Regards, Fernando

Which bit? I'd recommend: http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/2.13/INSTALL-buildout.html#creating-a-bu... ...or indeed: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope2instance
"Egg-based packages are very simple to install with Buildout."
[buildout] ... eggs = Products.ZSQLMethods
and run bin/buildout.

eggs is a key of the [instance] section, not the [buildout] section. cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Well, as a general feedback, the documentation needs some sorting out: the install page linked from the downloads http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/2.13/INSTALL.html recommends virtualenv, which was my first attempt. I ignored a link there for buildout because "buildout" meant nothing to me. Then someone recommended buildout as the mainstream (not mentioned in the docs as the recommended practice) and I went to: http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/2.13/INSTALL-buildout.html where I followed the first procedure there which is the standalone Zope with buildout. None of these worked for me to install ZSQL Methods. I am able to install the egg in zopepy, but then Zope does not recognise the Product. Some configuration is needed in Zope I guess, which I have not figured out yet. The main issue is the Shared.DC.ZRDB code, which is node a Product in itself. I can install other (simpler) Products. The last option, "Creating a buildout-based Zope instance" leads to full mixing code with data which doesn't appeal me much, but feedback like yours is pushing in this direction. I have come across a problem though. My server is not connected to the Internet and I need to use buildout in offline mode, as indicated here: http://www.buildout.org/docs/tutorial.html What would be the most effective way to prepare an offline set of eggs, without missing eggs? Using buildout in a connected computer and then copy the eggs from there I guess? And what about recipes? I will not be able to work on this for the next two weeks, but I would still appreciate feedback on offline installation and if possible how to setup Shared.DC.ZRDB in a standalone Zope setup.

Yeah, I was just following wrong or misleading instructions somewhere :( Cheers, Fernando
