[Zope-dev] A couple of ZPatterns questions

2000-10-12 Thread Itai Tavor
Hi, 1. I want to set some object attributes every time the object is changed (for example, to store the name of the user making the change). I looked at using a Generic Trigger or a SkinScript but I can't figure how to do it with either one. With a Trigger, I guess I need to set "Set Sttrs" t

[Zope-dev] SessionManager, BerkeleyDB, and license compatability

This is a good point... Not to worry, however, because the default configuration of the session tracking stuff is going to use in-memory storage. Berkeley DB will not need to be (and won't be) distributed with Zope. The session manager will be capable of using nonundo databases (like one based

[Zope-dev] Observer Interface

2000-10-12 Thread Itamar Shtull-Trauring
In order to make Shane's Symlink product (soft links to objects based on path) really usable, some sort of Observer interface is necessary. I know there was some discussion of implementing this in the Interfaces wiki and in zope-ptk. Did anything ever come out of this? Or was it never implement

I would be happy to turn development of Zope scheduling capabilities over to someone else, because I currently have no demand for scheduling capabilities and am not actively working on Xron. This could take any of the following forms: 1. Transfering Xron to another developer. For historical re

[Zope-dev] Best practices for Zope development, staging, and production

Hi there, We're betting our business on Zope, and we're in the process of setting up a good Zope development and hosting environment. We're running into some problems, however, that we'd like the list's feedback on. What is best practice, etc... It still seems awfully backwards the way we've g
