Chris,
That call to hook_zca() was indeed the missing piece. Thank you!
I think it would have taken me a very long time to have figured that out on my
own, and I can imagine that this might stump other new users as well.
May I suggest a couple of places in the documentation (which is extraordinary,
btw) where this might be mentioned?
It could be noted in the "Using Events" chapter of the docs
(http://docs.repoze.org/bfg/1.2/narr/events.html).
Also if you were to expand the example in the tutorial on using repoze.catalog
(http://docs.repoze.org/bfg/1.2/tutorials/catalog/index.html) such that it
included hooking up subscribers to index/unindex in response to folder
add/remove events, that would be another good place to mention it.
Once again, thank you for your time and effort.
- Sam
