For this alone to work you will need to keep the objects in separate data.fs files forever.

Sure. For your own creations it's somewhat easier, just create your own timestamps. But what about existing content. Say: what if you have a Yihawdirectory which has grown for a while, plus a collection of Zwikis scattered over various Zopes, which I want to move into a a single new, but already existing on a bigger, greater and better server? > > I do not know how to implement 'modificationTime' attribute (or > better: how to change it whenever someone edits or uploads the > document). Well, for a moment I considered hacking ExportImport.py, but it's not obvious. That's why I'm asking whether somebody perhaps already has solved the problem. There is the option of stripping all the various data.fs and combining them via mounting, but this is far from elegant, if it works at all. -- o ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] (+49 2241) 14-2394 /\* GMD mbH #include _`\ `_<=== Schloss Birlinghoven, __(_)/_(_)___.-._ 53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

[Zope] bobobase_modification_time and .zexp
import/export obviously doesn't preserve time stamps (i.e. bobobase_modification_time). This is unfortunate for any content which depends on those timestamps. How do you people out there solve this problem when it comes to moving content from different Zope installations into a single one? ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
