Well, I'd start by using a CatalogingTrigger that responds to events 
related to your Tickets, and records the ticket_id, ticket_date and 
response_time in a ResopnseTimes ZCatalog.

Then, I'd use ZCatalog queries to get average response times for various 
periods of time.

I can't see a use for SkinScript in there, though :-)

ps. I am working on a skin script howto. Expect to see something after I 
return from a conference on Monday.

After looking, I don't think it wil either.

I am building statistics of of a call Tracking System. For example, each
ticket has a response time property, and one of the graphs needs average
response time.

Looks like PythonMehtods is the winner

Hi Bill,

   I doubt that skinscript is going to help with 'potentially
complicated calculations'. Skin Script works with ZPatterns
(Specifically DataSkins) to provide control over how attributes of
DataSkins are gotten, and stored. They are normally pretty simple 

"if THIS then THAT" 

kinds of things (basically a set of one line expressions that handle
substitutions that occur under various circumstances... ). It would
be a lot easier to answer your question if you could elaborate a bit
on the 'get me what I want' part of your query. ;-) The best documentation
I've seen yet is an email from pje about the current implementation:

http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2000-July/006201.html

Hope that helps...

[Zope-dev] SkinScript, and family

2000-09-07 Thread Bill Anderson

OK, I have some potentially complicated calculations to build on a
Ticket Tracking system I've built here. I can do it in python mehtods,
but am wondering if skinscript will get me what i want as well. If
anyone has done dome stuff in skinscript they can share I would be
ecstatic. I don't necessarily need a tutorial (but would be happy to
review and rate one :), as I can learn fairly well from examples that
have an explanation of what the skinscript accomplishes.

TIA,
Bill
