[Zope] ZClass base classes
I've looked all throught docs but I cant find anywhere an explanation of what properties the ZClass base classes give you. Also which order to inherit them, as the Developers Guide claims the order is important. Can anyone please enlighten me? Regards, Nick.
Re: [Zope] ZClass base classes
(please don't post HTML mail to the list). sorry I *think* the "Include standard Zope persistent object base classes" check box gives your ZClass the "ZObject" interface which is similar to the SimpleItem interface (see the Zope API docs in the help system - I think it's under Help-Zope Help-API Documentation-ObjectManagerItem). I dont seem to have this in my Zope Help System. Where can I obtain this? I have 2 items in the Contents tab frame: ZeopTutorial and ZopeHelp. The API Documentation I have is very sparse. As far as inheritance order, the first base class you add to the ZClass base class list will be ZObject if you use check the "standard base classes" checkbox. The next one will be the first base class you choose (the topmost), the next one will be the one under that, etc. But what I need to know is what properties does the derivation give the new object and how does the order affect its behaviour. Ta, Nick I've looked all throught docs but I cant find anywhere an explanation of what properties the ZClass base classes give you. Also which order to inherit them, as the Developers Guide claims the order is important.

[Zope] DTML horror
DTML is pretty horrible. Does anyone have any solutions to allow DTML methodsto be generated using a more Pythonesque interface? It seems to me that DTML is a bit of a shoddy half way house between HTML and Python. Cheers, Nick.
[Zope] ZODB efficiency
Is using ZODB efficient? Is it better to use ZODB than an external database? What are the benefits of using it? CHeers, Nick

[Zope] Newbie: ZClass questions
Hi, I'm new to Zope. I'm just flailing around in all the docs and examples at the moment. I'm setting up a small intranet for our office. I've been reading about ZClasses (havent done any SQL). Are these a very efficient way of storing data? Are these more/less efficient than setting up a database and managing it using ZSQL? I read that any changes to a class instance is stored in the Zope database. Is there a way of turning this feature off to avoid the undo facility? ie. if you dont want undo. I'm trying to set up a simple chat room as a teaching exercise. I'm thing I should implement a ZClass which is the room, containg a ZClass which will be a chat item. I've noticed an example, ZRTChat but everything there is implemented in Python (yuck!). It's much nicer to use the interface to create your classes. What are the pros and cons of the 2 approaches. Why implement it all in Python? Cheers, Nick.
