Re: [Zope] Zope Book Beta

2000-11-01 Thread Tim Lynch


I wholeheartedly agree with Jason and Chris. I would very much appreciate a 
PDF version that could be easily printed, or read with Adobe's Reader. I hope
there is no hesitation over making a PDF version available because of fear it
will cut into sales of the bound volume. I think it would be just the opposite. 
I can easily think of examples (the original Tcl/Tk book comes first to mind)
where the printed copy closed the sale of the bound volume for me. 

I'll be purchasing multiple copies of the Zope book for my shop regardless.
(I tried to no avail to do a pre-order from OReilly's set yesterday :) Getting
a chance to proof an early version and perhaps contribute to making it better 
only increases my desire to purchase the eventual publication.

[Zope] problem with PTK and LoginManager

2000-06-14 Thread Tim Lynch

Hi,

I can't seem to get PTK to install. When I put both PTKBase and PTKDemo
in the Products directory, PTKBase is OK, but PTKDemo is 'broken'.
The traceback is:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "E:\I-10\lib\python\OFS\Application.py", line 387, in import_products
product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly)
  File "E:\I-10\lib\python\Products\PTKDemo\__init__.py", line 3, in ?
import Portal, ZODBMember, SQLMember, PersistentUserSource
  File "E:\I-10\lib\python\Products\PTKDemo\Portal.py", line 5, in ?
from Products import LoginManager
ImportError: No module named LoginManager

LoginManager is installed in Products and is listed as OK in the
Control Panel/Products display.

I just did a complete re-install of Zope 2.1.4 (no other products at
this time); I grabbed PTK from the CVS tree, the version of LoginManager
I'm using is what came with the PTK.

I'm running under WindowsNT with zope installed as a service. Haven't
tried things on the Linux side of my machine as I need to get this stuff
working under NT as a deliverable.

Any ideas why Portal.py can't find LoginManager? 
I've tried editing the line in Portal.py from
from Products import LoginManagerto
from Products.LoginManager import LoginManager

but that didn't seem to work

Any help much appreciated.
