The "Portal Toolkit product":http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK is
intended to play the part you are looking for.  The Zope.org site
actually runs (for the near term) off a primordial form of the PTK.
The PTK has a Link class which should be just what you are looking for
(defined as a Python filesystem module), along with a UseCase ZClass
(showing how to implement content types as ZClasses).

The SoftwareProduct/ProductRelease content types are *not* in the
current PTK.  I would guess that reimplementing them would require
a relatively small amount of effort;  in fact, we are planning to
do that in the relatively near future.

[Zope] Zope.Org: Not a good example...

2000-12-02 Thread The Doctor What

I've been looking around for examples of certain objects and such.
One simple example is a URL object.  Zope.Org *has* this object
(Link) and it is fairly nifty, even if it isn't documented (ie, it's
usage etc.) but I can't find the *source* for this object anywhere!

All I want is to be able to have a Link object on my Zope engine,
with possibly a minor change or two, but I can't find out where to
get it anyplace.

This isn't the only example.  I have software that I want to
distribute, but I can't get the source for the Software
Product/Distribution objects either!

I can get the source for DTML Documents, but it doesn't do much
good if they make extensive use of objects that I can't get the
source for.

I would like to enter a plea for *someone* at DC/Zope.Org to fix
this situation!

BTW: I have a better view_source DTML Method:

Ciao!
