I have a problem using ZDiscussions -=20
First up, i'd like to whine a bit.=20
<WHINE-MODE ON>
Which product should i use to add a Discussion component to my site?=20
Confera? ZDConfera? ZDiscussions? ZUBB? Squishdot? PTK? Was the Zope =
'Portal' deliberately designed to obfuscate the choices available and =
their respective pros/cons, as well as to make it practically impossible =
to find useful documentation, or has it just happened this way?=20
I'm just about ready to give up on Zope and go back to hacking Perl, =
because, even though i have to write 10 times as much difficult-to-read =
code to get a job done, at least i know that the job is doable, doable =
in a way that suits me, and that if there is a module to do what i want =
to do, it will be findable and documented on CPAN.
<WHINE-MODE OFF>
I don't like to whine, and i think Zope promises to be a great product, =
and i am persevering with it because i think it will (once i get =
implemetation out of the way) make me a great intranet. Many thanks to =
the developers, you have, on the whole, done a wonderful job.
Anyway, my problem is this:
I have a ZDiscussion set up in a folder (off the root folder) called =
TMLDiscussion.
I want to put the contents of the discussion in the index_html method of =
my root folder.
So, i put the following in my root index_html method:
<dtml-with TMLDiscussion>
</dtml-with>
(normally there would be code beteen those two tags to output a =
dtml-tree of messages in the TMLDiscussion object)=20
Even with nothing between the dtml-with tags, i get this error:
Error Type: NameError
Error Value: r
Whats going on? And how do i display the discussion on my index page?
Thanks for any Help
-Pete
