  Doesn't work with 2.3 from CVS, 2000-12-18 21:21 UTC

I had the same problems with 2.2.5b1...

 ACK, I forgot that I also revealed afew bugs in other systems :/  I thought
 that I could just package up Zcatalog, but apparantly not Let me work on
 coming up with something new.

Has any progress been made on this yet?

cheers,

Chris

Re: [Zope-dev] Updating a ZCatalog when objects in it change their path

 However, the only way I could find to solve it was to add a

 since I don't actually want to recatalog all postings (quite expensive
 when there are 3000+ of them ;-), I just want to modify the paths that
 ZCatalog has stored.
 
 Is there any way to do this? There probably should be ;-)

Look in the new ZCatalog product (released for testing a few weeks ago), 
in the manage_normalize_paths method of ZCatalog.py (line 603).

This method goes through every item in the Catalog, and checks to see if 
its path needs to be changed to the new convention of using the physical 
path to the object.

You could use a modified version of this method to do what you want, 
calling it from manage_afterAdd. You may need to store the old path to 
the ZCatalog instance in an attribute, so you'll know how to change the 
paths.

The following code should help, although I haven't tested it. It is 
shamelessly cribbed from Chris P's manage_normalize_paths method.

   paths = self._catalog.paths
   uids = self._catalog.uids

   for path, rid in uids.items():
   new_path=_method_to_return_new_path_after_add(path)
   del uids[path]
   paths[rid] = new_path
   uids[ppath] = rid

Re: [Zope-dev] DTML Documents == DTML Methods that are anchored?

2000-12-30 Thread Dieter Maurer

The Doctor What writes:
  What are the differences between DTML Documents and Methods
  internally?
There are too small differences:

 1. DTML documents implement the "PropertyManager" interface,
i.e. they can have properties other than "id" and "title".


 2. DTML documents place themselves on top of the DTML
namespace when they are rendered (called),
DTML methods do not place themselves on the namespace at all
for rendering.

The effect is that during name lookup a DTML Document
is asked early whether it (or its acquisition ancestors)
can satisfy the name request. If it can, you get
this object.
A DTML Method, on the other hand, would not be asked
in a similar situation, as it is not on the namespace
stack.

This means, name lookup looks through the
DTML Method directly onto the method's client,
the Method is completely transparent.
A DTML Document is only partially transparent,
it hides all names that it or its acquisition ancestors
define. Only the other names are handled in the same
way as would be the case for a DTML method.
