[Zope] catalog-aware z-classes

[Ben Avery]

  hi Douwe,

thanks for your quick response.

I don't think I could use one catalog, as I'll be searching on different 
fieldnames, and wanting different metadata for each z-class, so I would 
need all the indexes and metadata for each object - there will be around 
30 z-classes, so the catalog might have around 100 indexes and metadata 
items.

I prefer the idea having assigning a catalog to each z-class.
I can see this in the source code for 
Catalog/CatalogAwareness.manage_editCataloger, which looks like it 
allows the default to be changed through the ZMI, but have no idea how 
to find and set this through the ZMI for my z-classes.

does anyone have any advice on how to do this?


thanks,
Ben Avery

Hi,

Why not store them in the same catalog and filter on meta_type when
searching?
Anyway, I don't think there is a problem storing ZClass instances in a
Catalog
named other then Catalog, except for that it won't happen automatically,
you'll
have to do it yourself.
