Hello Zopistas.

The main weird thing that I noticed is that the HTTP server is disastrously slow if the remote IP doesn't have a DNS map. I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this. Is there a quick way to stop a remote lookup on IPs?

This is a server specific thing. Which HTTP server are you using? ZopeHTTPServer? You might want to check out ZServer, it's in beta, but we are putting much more effort into it than ZopeHTTPServer (which we are putting no effort into).

Now on to the real problem.

The new tree worked just fine on the opening index_html method but each index_html document in sub folders didn't work. I'd either get a 'Sorry, an error occured' or a space in the table where the tree should be and no tree.

Sounds like you are getting mired in Acquisition. Without seeing your DTML and tracebacks, however, there isn't much more advice than that I could give you. (here's a hint, view the HTML source of any error messages you get, there are secret clues inside).

So then I commited the session thinking maybe that would help. Oh dear. Good job I'm testing, eh?

You can allways 'undo'. The ZODB is a rather powerful object database.

Another thought: While I have your ears, I feel like there is a tremendous amount of power in Zope that I'm just not getting. The zdp does a wonderful job of explaining what it explains (nice HOWTO's) but I'm either really dopey or I can't find the meat of the Zope documentation. I can't even remember how I stumbled on the tree control in the first place. What else is burried in there that's awesome but out of my sight? Don't get me wrong, I'm not bitching. I'm just a little disoriented in this whizzy new world and need a map.

Ah yes, the Zen of Zope. It's not just you, there is some very deep and powerful things going on underneath the minimalist management interface. At first they may seem a bit quirkly, but once groked the beauty of some of Zope's mechanisms are shocking. It even more shocking that people have been doing things any other way for so long. I can't really give you much insight, but I suggest looking at http://zdp.zope.org, those guys are putting together alot of jumpstarter material. Some more Zen material may be forthcomming. -Michel
