Hi,
OK, thanks to Alen and with some further digging, I can sort of
answering my own question, I found some answers here:
zope3-for-zope2-developers.pdf from Phillip von Weitershausen. Thanks
Phillip for thinking of these legions of "poor old fashioned" zopistas! ;-)
So for the other newbies out there (if they search the archives later):
* from Python do this: zapi.getView(obj, 'absolute_url', request) #
obviously import zapi first
* from a page template: obj/@@absolute_url
Also without doing any extra, it seems that objects don't know their
name anymore. No getId() or title_or_id().
But as Alen pointed out the parent normally does some magic, so:
you have __name__ (id in Zope 2 speak)
and __parent__ (is obj.getParent() in Zope 2)
Mmm, I guess I'm gonna roll my own ordered containers and pages that
have a title attribute.
Cheers,
Paulus

Hi,
Sorry if I ask a question that is already asked a gazillion times, but
I was not able to find the obvious answer.
I'm rather new to Zope 3 and I have done a fair amount of Zope 2
development and was used to be able to create dynamic menus by
iterating over the objects in the root container (site root) and
traversing all the way down (or as far as i wanted). That was sort of
easy because every object in Zope 2 has an absolute_url method as well
as a title_or_id method.
But although I understand Zope 3 has something like that too, I'm
unclear how to achieve that every object provides an absolute_url
method. Possibly Zope 3 has a far superior way of achiving the same
goal. As a Zope 3 newbie I understand Zope 3 aims to require being
explicit, yet I did like some of the implicit behavior of Zope 2 a
lot. For instance I still think acquisition is bad by definition..
Maybe you should be able to turn it on or off at the folder level.
A related questions is: is there an obvious way to get the site url
(or object) other then just knowing the name?
Can anyone point me in the right direction? BTW I have Stephan's book
and ordered Phillip's book but that didn't arrive yet.
Thanks
Paulus
