Subject: [Zope-dev] Recursively adding ZClasses (continued)


 First I had a problem with nested ZClasses, which got me into trouble
 when I wanted to add ZClasses to each other. So I followed the 'common
 wisdom' of adding all ZClasses at the top level of the product. THis
 generally works OK, and you can add ZClass instances to each other from
 the management interface. So far so good. WHere things go wrong is by
 recursively adding ZClasses, as in:

 the following pseudo code for ParticularZClass with some NestedZClasses
 inside:

 (Particular ZClass constructor has the following action sequence):
 create ParticularZClass instance
 set some properties
 in somelist
set some other properties into REQUEST
create NestedZClass instances
 whatever

 reading and following every piece of documentation I could get on this
 (not much), I never got any further than adding the NestedZClasses
 instances on the _same_ level as the ParticularZClass. No dtml-with
 "manage_addProduct['whatever']" (which contrary to documentation should
 have the containing product and not the ZClass as the 'whatever'
 argument) could help me out.

I'm using nested ZClasses in KM|Net News. Take a look at the AddArticle
method. In KMNN, these ZClasses are set up as nested ZClasses, so that may
change things somewhat. However, it may still work. Rather than doing
manage_addProduct[], you *might* be able to just directly call
ZClass_add(_.None, _), because it could be in your acquisition path at the
top of the product. In KMNN, that's all I had to do, but in that case the
ZClass_add method was located within the ZClass that was to contain it.

That sounded kind of rambling, so I hope it makes sense...

Thanks for replying Kevin, but it won't work ;-( I tried it ALL, and it
_will_not_work_. The nested ZClasses will apparently solve it (I used it
elsewhere), but it will get you into trouble in other situations - if
you want to add an instance of the nested zclass to an existing instance
of that same nested zclass. I had to change my product before because of
that.

No matter if you use ZClass_add directly or in  dtml-with. No matter if
you close the first dtml-with and open another. No matter if you
redirect to get out of namespace problems (that will _really_ give
strange errors). Believe me, it was a _very_ frustrating experience (and
I really wanted to refrain from ranting -just couldn't help myself)

thanks again for replying

This currently adds recursive ZClasses for me.  All ZClasses are on the top

I cut a few things out that didn't have to do with the recursing, but you
bet the general picture.

All my best,
