[Zope3-Users] ZCML debugger?
Hi! After having fight with ZCML I think some sort of debugger, checker, validator or wizard is needed to help writing ZCML! Trial-and-error approach is too costly and frustrating to newbies. Discovering what goes where or from where is nightmare and error-prone too. Zope3 already has a good doc system, based on ZCML and source code information (if I am not mistaken). Could it be beneficial to have some kind of wizard which could help write ZCML configurations? Or at least some good documentation on what is the meaning of ZCML constructs. Declarative approach is good if one know: - what is the purpose of declaration (for example, what is the purpose of declaring that OFS.Folder.Folder is traversable?) (that is, pragmatics) - what is needed to be declared (and where) to achieve certain typical goals (like: in order to implement View class to this Content classes, you need to add this to ZCML configure) Of course, this misunderstanding will go away with experience. But I think this is what really frustrates newbies. Even programming language source code (especially imperative) is easier to understand: it can be followed. Object-oriented systems are less navigable, but still it is possible. Now, the ZCML declarations seem to hang in the air... Also, someone noted that write-once principle is broken with ZCML: it's very verbose to at least my taste. And after ABC of ZCML there lay a layer of idioms, unspoken patterns, etc. Regards, Roman ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
[Zope3-Users] Users need to activate their accounts
Hello, how would you implement something like that? What comes into my mind is: 1) Let the registration script create a PendingPrincipal object and store them into a folder. The activation script create a real user in the PAU based on the PendingPrincipal und deletes the PendingPrincipal. Can I reuse a existing principal info object for that? I'm not sure about creating them in content space. 2) Create a utility that stores the principal information. The activation script reads that information and creates a principal in PAU (or let the utiltity create it) 3) Create (subclass) a PrincipalFolder and the InternetPrincipal object. Give the principal a activated flag and the Fodler a activatePrincipal(key) method. At the moment I'm not sure if I know how to do that, but I've not tried yet. ;-) At the moment I tend to 1) or 3). What do you think? How do you do it? Thanks, Florian ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

Hi Florian, I tried that. It works for the interface the addForm is registered for (for in the zcml addform directive), but it won't work for the schema (schema in the zcml addform derictive.
