How did you do that? I managed it the following way:
-------------- snip ---------------
from zope.app.appsetup.interfaces import IDatabaseOpenedWithRootEvent
from zope.app.appsetup.bootstrap import getInformationFromEvent
@adapter(IDatabaseOpenedWithRootEvent)
def addFoobar(event):
db, connection, root, root_folder = getInformationFromEvent(event)
if 'swarmfinder' not in root_folder:
root_folder['foobar'] = Foobar()
------------- snip ----------------
What I dislike here is that there that I use the
function "getInformationFromEvent", which is already called in the function
where in the event is triggered; Especially it does a "database.open()",
which is maybe not a good idea as the database is already opened.
Is there a cleaner way?
