Subject: [Zope-dev] ZClasses Maintenance and Upgrade


Well I have finally reached the stage where I am pushing the limits of 
ZClasses and would love an upgrade.  Guess I need to do it myself.


I run 38 specialty job boards, and am getting close to automatically 
putting up 300 more, each one has a custom ZClass.


I am automatically generating ZClasses, Indexes, and Formulator Form's 
Fields.   I don't like that each parent class lists its legal children, I 
think it would be better if the child listed the legal parents.  The 
creation of an add permission for each of the 300 ZClasses I am about to 
generate also bothers me.


You may want to rethink your approach before you launch 300 new job boards 
based on ZClasses; as of Zope 2.10.x ZClasses are officially deprecated (see 
http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.10.3/CHANGES.txt).


I know this is a serious PITA... I just spent 3 months replacing ZClasses 
with a custom product in a client's web site because they did not want to 
get stuck in an old version of Zope.


If long term maintainability is of interest then you may want to consider 
something other than ZClasses.

[Zope-dev] The problem with ZClasses is a symptom of two problems with Zope 2

2007-04-17 Thread Christopher Lozinski
Why are there such problems with ZClasses, when they were written by 
intelligent people?


I think I now know the answer to that. 

I am pretty sure that the permissions mechanism makes ZClasses have 
propertysheets, so that access to variables can share a permission.


I am pretty sure that the Products structure makes ZClasses have their 
create methods at the same level as the ZClass, rather  than  1 level 
below the Z Class in a  class methods folder.


So what do I have to do to fix ZClasses?

What I am thinking of doing is taking the newest release of Zope 2, and 
tossing out permissions, and tossing out the Products piece, and then
putting in place what I need to do fast through the web development.  I 
will put in place a simpler permissions system.


I will miss Formulator and Localizer, because they are tied in with the 
existing permissions mechanisms.  But they should migrate over easily.


I will probably break everything else in sight in the process.Maybe 
I need to keep the Products piece, and put in place NewProducts or 
something like that.

But I will have a very nice upgrade path for ZClass based applications.

And why do I keep getting flamed?There is some world view that does 
not like my world view. 

Why are permissions so broken in Zope2.  They are way too complex.  Why 
has no one released Zope 2 with cleaner permissions?  Because it breaks 
everything?


Thank you to all the people who recommended that I use CMF or Python 
Classes, or Zope 3.  None of those are quite what I want and need.

ZClasses is close to what I need, I just need to fix it.

Regards
Christopher Lozinski

Because they were a nifty idea that didn't work out in practice. Such
things happen. Even demi-gods make mistakes. :-)
