Andy,

Follow the instructions as J said and you won't go far wrong, *but* be aware
that if you have any external methods these are not exactly subject to the
versioning.

The problem happens when you restart Zope and the new code is read into both
the versioned and original 'External Method'.

Not sure if I undertand correctly your problem, but all you have to do is
to create a version object in the folder you want to modify (Add Version).
Then click on this object an connect to it. Then do all your modifications
as you would do it without a version, and let your droids view it. When
all is OK, click on your version object and click on save/discard, enter
some text to describe what you've done and click save.  Now you can
disconnect and eventually delete your version object.

hoping this will help

bye,
Jerome Alet

[Zope] NEWBIE: Versions

2001-01-08 Thread Andy Gates

Hi folks,

Thanks to your help a few months back, I eventually got my first big 
Zope site up.  Now the marketing droids have let it mature and come 
back to me with a laundry-list of tweaks and changes.

'Tis time, think I, to use versioning: keep the live site running and 
work on a version with all changes, let the droids assess it, and then 
roll it live in one chunk.

Now, how do I do that, then?
