Henny, You also need the ZPatterns product, which you then have to compile to get the dynpersist.pyd file. hth Phil ----- Original Message ----- From: Henny van der Linde To: Zope mailing list Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 12:27 AM Subject: [Zope] problem installing login manager Hi, I just installed Zope 2.2.2 and tried to install the latest version of Login Manager.

Once you get DynPersist, if you\'re using the latest version of LoginManager you will still get an error about the plugins. (something about registerhelp contexthelp don\'t remember) Quick fix: cd into lib/python/Products/PlugIns edit the file __init__.py at line 7 there is a function called initialize(context): before context.registerHelp(), insert a line with the same indentation that says return so it will be like this . . . def initialize(context): return <- this is your craft context.registerHelp() . . . . because it seems that registerHelp cannot find some required files. Well, this is a hack, not even a solution, but what do you prefer, no plugins or no help in your working plugins? I seize the oppportunity to ask someone knowledgeable with this ZPatterns and Plugins and LoginManager stuff. I can\'t understand it. I\'ve perused all the \"documentation\" in its wiki, to no avail. Thanks in advance. Quoting Henny van der Linde <info@inline-info.nl>:
