Jerome:

I am curious why you are creating folders for each year/month/day? It sounds like a lot of work.

Yes, but I supposed, probably wrongly, that retrieving events all at the same place for all the dates would be very time consuming for Zope.

It's not really all in the same folder. I have a different folder per user. Making a new folder for every quarter or so for manageability sake makes sense, but it's not needed for searchability. Trust me. There is no practical limit to the number of items you have in a folder. The disk usage hit when you add an item to a folder with 30,000 objects in it is huge though. ObjectManager isn't meant for that. Also the management interface would be a bit of a problem. To manage larger folders I use a ZCatalog interface anyway.

...

I have a calendar here that has folders for each "user" and displays the calendar of their events by having the Catalog search for the "day" on

OK, now I have to try to understand your code (I'm new to Zope, I mean I use it for five months but with only one hour or two per week unfortunately) and see how I can use it.

That's how I started too. :)

I'm afraid I'll have more objects to store than you because I want to store all our Medicine School events in the calendar (courses for each year, holidays, rooms planning, etc...), that's why I wanted to create several folders in order to diminish (sp?) Zope's search time.

The ZCatalog can return a search on hundreds of thousands of objects in under a second.

...

which the events occur. For each object that I want to appear in the calendar I have an external method that simply takes whatever date is the "Calendar Date" and returns the integer day. Then the Catalog does the rest.

Here's the code to display it for month/week/day modes.

Can I reuse parts of your code ? (First I have to understand it ;-)

Please do. That's what open source is all about. If you tell me what specificc parts you are having trouble with I'll be happy to explain them.

thanks for all.

PS: have you an answer concerning my tests problem ? Except using <dtml-try> I don't know if a better way exists. Even if I finally do like you, I'm interested in knowing how to do this sort of things which are pretty easy in Python, but seem to lack to Zope.

Could you send me that snipit of code again.

bye, Jerome
