Re: [Zope3-Users] 2nd edition of Zope 3 book available!
Thanks for this book, that's just what I was waiting for since I started learning zope3 this summer. I've been reading and reading again everything I've found online on the subject, but it is not engough. It will bring me some fresh air. It's been 1 week since I ordered one, and I hope it's already on the way to my mailbox! BTW, is there any plan to publish some translated versions? regards Christophe Philipp von Weitershausen wrote: I'm proud to announce that -- as the first Zope book ever -- my book titled Web Component Development with Zope 3 has been released as a second edition and is now available from online and local bookstores. Like the first edition, the new book is targeted at all web developers who want to get into Zope 3 or learn more about Zope 3 and Zope 3 technology than they already know. It's accompanied by an extensive example application that's extended throughout the book. *Unlike* the first edition, the second edition is... - up-to-date. The book covers the latest Zope 3 release, Zope 3.3, which has only been released recently. All chapters, all examples, and the appendices have been revised to match the most current Zope 3 codebase. - bigger. Five (!) new chapters, all describing new features in Zope, have been added, many others were extended notably. In total, the book is more than 80 pages thicker than the old one -- at the same price as the old one. - better. With the second edition, the book has been completely revamped. My excellent reviewers from the Zope and Plone community have done a tremendous good job at improving the book's language and technical details. I also improved the didactics in various places. - for you! No matter if you're a Zope 3 developer or just starting to get into Zope 3, I suggest you keep the book under your pillow. Even as a Zope 2 or Plone developer, you'd be surprised how much Zope 3 technology you can now use in Zope 2 -- and this book tells you how! This makes it a must-buy especially for Plone developers as Plone 3.0 is using Zope 3 components for all new development. Find out more at http://worldcookery.com.

Re: [Zope3-Users] schema field for an Image?
Sascha Ottolski wrote: I'm wondering if anything already exists, that would allow me to define a schema like (pseudo) IPerson(Interface): image = File( max_size=100, ) Person(Persistent): implements(IPerson) image = FileProperty(form_fields['image']) with the result, that the image attribute behaves pretty much like an IImage, that is, has contentType and size associated with it, and might be easily displayed with the help of something like zope.app.file.browser.image.ImageData. I already tried to create such a Property, as well as using schema.Object, but wasn't really successfull :-( Hi Sacha, I've used something like this... class IPerson(Interface): image=schema.Object( schema=zope.app.file.interfaces.IImage, required=False, # You may need this depending on validation needs.. ) class Person(Persistent): implements(IPerson) image=FieldProperty(IPerson['image']) If you want to make the image attribute traversable (via the url) the z3c.traverser package can do the job. Of course, I can do all this by hand for each content object by adding a contentType attribute and providing some views, but I have the feeling that there would exist a smarter way to to this. Adding to this, is there a way to register views with fuzzy names? Think of a class Person: resume = File() Now, to help the logfile analyzer, I would like to have a view named resume.%s', so that if resume is a Word document, it could be accesed as /person1/resume.doc, if resume is PDF, access would be /person1/resume.pdf. I could register several views for common suffixes, but than there comes a buy with one no one thought of. May be this is a stupid idea anyway :-) Have a look at zope.publisher.interfaces.IPublishTraverse to hook in your own handler for traversing a Person object. regards, -Tom ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
