 context is a generic name for the current, er, context.
 e.g. if i visit http://www.some-zope-site.org/foo/bar/baz,
 you could say i am calling baz in the context of bar.
 so what methods bar has depends on what kind of object bar is.
 That's where docfinder comes in... you visit bar in the ZMI and
 see what it says.
 
 you should also read the zope book...

[Zope-dev] Where are all the good docs?

2004-07-16 Thread Bryan Simmons
I've recently persuaded my company and our clients that Zope is THE
way to go for Portal software.  Now I find myself having to hack away
at sources more and more to meed their needs.  With that in mind, how
can I find out something like what functions can be called from the
context object?
I've noticed context.absolute_url() and a few others but I find myself
sorely lacking the ability to look up member methods for Zope objects.

Where do I go for info?

Install DocFinder, it's great.
For more info than that, use the source.

That product sure does open up a wealth of information but it really
does me no good with understanding what context is and what functions
apply to it
