I think I've worked out what is happening. I'm assuming that the index_html
is written in ZPT; when edited TTW via the ZMI the expand macros when
editing is checked, so I guess the various TAL features are being removed
(hence it works until it is saved, and after that the dynamic parts are
missing). I've no idea if there is a way to switch off this expansion by
default. If there is, I would suggest that Zope is initially installed in
that condition. As it is currently, I would say the tutorial examples are
quite confusing. A real newbie would have little idea as to how it could be
that the HTML was being constructed. I at least have been lurking round
Zope for some time, so I think I've been able to work it out.

Hi, I'm looking at the idea of using Zope again (a lot seems to have
changed..) I'm using Zope 2.11.1, and whilst trying to remind myself of the
basic machinery of Zope, I imported the Example apps, and started to fiddle
around with the Guestbook example. However, after saving the index_html
object of the Guestbook, Zope would no longer find any entries to display.
To check it was simply the act of saving index_html that broke the
Guestbook, I deleted the Examples folder and re-imported it. With a fresh
Examples folder Guestbook worked; simply saving it (without even typing in
the textarea) would break the Guestbook. On initial import it shows a
single Guestbook entry by Amos, but after saving index_html, it reports
that the Guestbook is empty. No changes were made to the 'getEntries'
script, and the Entries folder still has the entry by Amos.
I can't see any reason why that would be, and hoped someone else could
explain what the problem is.
