Problem: -------- You have a certain directory structure that needs to be imported into zope every day. If you just put

python z-load_site.py -p /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher -u user:password -v http://zope.site/dir /localdir/*

in your crontab, it will fail the second time it runs, because it tries to import objects with id names that are already existing.

Solution: --------- One solution could be to wrap the manage_add calls to catch these exceptions (Oleg-way:-). I didn't succeed in doing that, but I found another solution already built into Zope:

modify 'def _checkId(self, id, allow_dup=0)' in '/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py' to 'def _checkId(self, id, allow_dup=1)'

This auto-overwrites existing objects with the same name. Only drawback: if you upload a directory that way, the existing one is removed + all its contents at that time.

Hope this can be useful.

PS: I've attached a patch for ObjectManager.py for Zope 2.0.1 (yeah I know, it's old). To use it:

patch -iObjectManager.py.diff ObjectManager.py

you may need to modify '-iObjectManager.py.diff' to point to another directory...
