[Zope-CMF] CMFExternalFile - bad zip?? (qv Plone Book p 306)

[Peter Fraterdeus]

Thanks Andy
I downloaded to my Mac OS X laptop, and found that the Finder recognized it as a tar archive (regardless of the suffix!) I rezipped and uploaded to my server... No further problems!

BTW, your book is invaluable!!!
Funny how online docs just don't make it for me. After reading (currently into Chap 12 on Products) on-and-off for the last couple of weeks, the big picture is much more clear to me, I'm seeing how Python works within the Plone context, and feel like I'm starting to see some flexibility in my options. Certainly, the "email to the admin" script tutorial has been worth the price by itself!

One hope for the next edition! There are a lot of us now using OS X as a unix development environment. Would be nice to see a couple of Mac screen shots ;-)

Mille grazie!

All best

Peter
