Please Help [was New to ZClass Questions]
On Thursday I asked the following questions and got no response. Would someone please offer some advice? Thanks. [old message] I am setting up a site for faculty committees on my campus. I have just started using ZClasses with 2.0.0. I set up a memberProduct so that the content managers can add members to each of the committees. So far so good. (I'm glad Amos is rewriting the tutorial - things change fast around Zope!). I then created an agendaProduct (and will create a similar minutesProduct). agendaClass is a folder, i.e. the Base classes include ZClass_for_folder and ZObjectManager. I also created an index_html method for the agendaClass. The index_html is intended to hold the actual agenda in html to be displayed when the agenda instance is viewed. When I create an instance, say sept16-1999, the instance contains the index_html which displays correctly, but it cannot be managed (and has no actual content) since index_html does not show up in the contents of sept16-1999. 1) What do I need to do to get index_html to appear in the contents of the instance? 2) When the instance is created, the creator is asked for an id and a date. I would also like to have the "text" box for the index_html contents displayed with the choice of direct editing or a "browse" button for uploading a local file. In that manner, the content manager can add the agenda all on one page, creating the instance of the agenda "folder" and the contents of its index_html at the same time. Is it possible? Thanks. Al P.S. When I created the memberClass (also a "folder"), I did not use ZObjectManager as a base class, and all the views were automatically included. When I created the agendaClass, I included ZObjectManager, and the views had to be added one at a time. Feature or Bug? [end of old message]
