Thanks for your help. It is really hard to get into plone because of the mix of technology and the huge api set and know how.
The fact that examples seems not to work out of the box or are not kept up to date from version to version make the problem even more so. I know it is open source and "free time" for people, I am just pointing to a problem. Believe me I read all plone and zope books on the market and I have still a hard time to write simple tests and do simple views. I am quite stupid though so... For instance and it is typical, I suspected than the test() function was not available in my case but why ? where can I find the differences and api set of browser based views, non browser based views (what are they then ? old style ? ;)) etc ? And in that particular case, since it is about odd/even rows, testing in the pt part of the view (vocabulary is a problem also because a "view" can be made of view.pt, view.py ...) seems right. It is layout per se. One could argue. And may I suggest that having the same macro api set in the old tech and the new tech would be a boon to newbies and even maybe to not so newbies. :) The and/or trick worked though, so I was able to make the example work on the presentation part, and I will try as an exercise to use more the python part of the view. I am now stuck with the drag and drop part not working at all and having another hard time untangling the layers of jvs, kss, plain javascript, css, who binds to what event and when ... and the like. :( Thanks for the support I will continue to fight my way into plone and try to report what posed particular problem. I think one of the reason Zope is loosing momentum to other less thought out but more instantly "gratifying" frameworks is this steeper and steeper learning curve. No need to be smart to realize that. :) Maybe explaining the thing from a newbie point of view could help address the problem through documentation. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Test%28%29--in-template-tp16807980s20094p16850575.html Sent from the Product Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Product-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/product-developers
