Not really sure what you're asking?
Did you try these and find they made no difference?


Yes, and I've looked at the code and can't see any way they can make a 
difference.


Well, the obviously make some difference, or you wouldn't get errors 
from Formulator ;-)


Wondered whether anyone else knew anything about these directives (old 
or future functionality?) and whether I was right in thinking they 
didn't do anything. If they really don't and are never intended to do 
anything, then they should at least have comments to that effect, and 
ideally be removed.


The best place to ask is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

cheers,

In fact, it was setting read only in the storage configuration that caused 
the Formulator error, not setting zserver-read-only-mode or 
read-only-database.


I'll try asking on the dev list.

Thanks

Setting read-only in the database storage does make a difference (in my 
configuration, Formulator 1.6.2 throws an exception, but that's not a 
ZOPE issue).


Okay, maybe that's 'cos Formulator is trying to write to the zodb?

Seriously, not sure what you're asking/explaining...

cheers,

Chris

I think so.

Just a related observation.
