[Zope3-Users] zalchemy in ZMI

[David Pratt]

Hi Carlo.

As a workaround to get objects into the db you can comment out the 
following lines in checkName like this:

     def checkName(self, name, container):
         if isinstance(name, str):
             name = unicode(name)
         elif not isinstance(name, unicode):
             raise TypeError("Invalid name type", type(name))

         #unproxied = removeSecurityProxy(container)
         #if not name.startswith(unproxied._class.__name__+'.'):
         #  raise UserError("Invalid name for SQLAlchemy object")
         return True

If you plan on using it, the container implementation needs some work 
and there is currently no adapter for deleting objects (see TODO.txt) I 
am grateful though for the efforts to get the package this far along and 
for the transaction integration work particularly.

Regards,
David
