[Zope-CMF] First steps with tools
Hi,
thanks again to everyone who helped me yesterday. I feel understand
things a lot better now. However, there are still a lot of things I
need to learn.
As suggested I'm trying to factor out a function from a content type
into utility so that it can be used for any content type. My utility
is simple: I want to be able to publish documents to my subscribers.
The following code is based on bits of the RegistrationTool and
elsewhere but with a little more understanding than my usual copy
paste:
class PublishTool(BaseTool)
def publishByEmail(self, document=):
text = getattr(aq_base(document), EditableBody)
subject = getattr(aq_base(document), Title)
lang = getattr(aq_base(document), lang)
ptool = getUtility(IPropertiesTool)
headers = {}
headers['Subject'] = subject
headers['From'] = ptool.email_from_address
host = getUtility(IMailHost)
subscibers = self.getSubscribersByLanguage(lang)
for s in subscribers:
headers['To'] = s.email
email = makeEmail(decode(text, script), script, headers)
try:
host.send(email)
except:
# don't stop just because you can't send a single e-mail
Now, apart from obvious problems that this is not the way to handle
with large subscriptions - MailDrop or a dedicated mailing list are
better for that, I know and I suspect makeEmail might not work in
this context - what is the best way to make this available as an
action for my documents? Looking at CMFDefault it seems that
currently I would actually do much of this work in a PythonScript
with attendant template very similar to how discussions work. Is this
correct? Or is there another way to provide this action to documents
and make it available only when the user has the correct permissions?
While I've been working on this I've noticed is that there are no
browser views for the various utilities such as logging in, signing
up or having a discussion. Is this because they haven't been done yet
or am I looking in the wrong place?

There are a million example out there you can use. I suggest that you take a look at how those work. The plone collective may be especially helpful. Don't be scared of by the fact that that is a Plone repository: all the general concepts apply just as well to pure CMF. If you want to see an example of a subscription/newsletter type of product (which appears to be your use case) using only Z3 concepts look at collective.revelation for example.

I will certainly take a look at the collective.revelation. But regarding the CMF and browser views: do these need doing for CMf 2.2? In the meantime implementing an action to publish in a PythonScript is, as ever, a doddle. :-D Charlie -- Charlie Clark Helmholtzstr. 20 Düsseldorf D- 40215 Tel: +49-211-938-5360 GSM: +49-178-782-6226 ___ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests
