[Zope-dev] Where are all the good docs?

2004-07-16 Thread Bryan Simmons
I've recently persuaded my company and our clients that Zope is THE
way to go for Portal software.  Now I find myself having to hack away
at sources more and more to meed their needs.  With that in mind, how
can I find out something like what functions can be called from the
context object?
I've noticed context.absolute_url() and a few others but I find myself
sorely lacking the ability to look up member methods for Zope objects.

Where do I go for info?

That product sure does open up a wealth of information but it really
does me no good with understanding what context is and what functions
apply to it

 context is a generic name for the current, er, context.
 e.g. if i visit http://www.some-zope-site.org/foo/bar/baz,
 you could say i am calling baz in the context of bar.
 so what methods bar has depends on what kind of object bar is.
 That's where docfinder comes in... you visit bar in the ZMI and
 see what it says.
 
 you should also read the zope book...

[Zope-dev] PCNG hook into Calendar

2004-09-28 Thread Bryan Simmons
I was wondering if anyone would have suggestions on the best way to
have another Product create an event, an ATEvent that is, in a portal.
 I'm looking for an interface to the ATEvent object.

I plan to modify PCNG 1.2.4 such that issues can be created as tasks
that have a time-span.
I'm going to use it as a scheduler for tasking my company's web
hosting department.

Basically, when a new issue is created, I will have it create an
ATEvent if the user specifies that this issue should be a time-based
task.  I may end up creating a whole new Product to have this work as
I would also like to have a click on an ATEvent take the browser to
the PCNG issue tied to that event.

Any ideas?  Some times this editing of Products can be a mess and I'm
just asking for any advice on how to keep it simple.
