[Zope] Z Class troubles...

[Kevin Dangoor]

Hi,

    Since count is a property, you'll need to do something like this:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('count', count+1)">
<dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)">

You would probably do this in your Count method...

The "problem" with this is that you'll get a new transaction in the database
for every hit. Some people have looked at this problem before (I think there
is a counter product out there for which someone worked on a workaround).

Kevin
