versions-1.0.0b1.cfg is stable list

versions.cfg contains latest versions from 1.0 branch

But it's not Plone, it's a bunch of really nice and clean zope3-only code. :)

I would gladly use some z3ext components only that there's one thing I really HATE about it - usage of z3c.autoinclude everywhere. Even in z3ext.ownership and things like that. Why do you do this? What if I don't want to include some configuration provided by dependencies and provide my own? Also z3c.autoinclude is slowing down startup process by 100000x times. :-(

actually i don't cear what to use. it's just much simpler for me. you can send patch to me or even change it by yourself

Well, my patch will be just removing includeDependencies and z3c.autoinclude at all. :)

I think, it's an application (say "site") duty to include configuration it needs, not component's one. So, for example "z3ext.formatter" shouldn't autoinclude the "zope.app.pagetemplate" ZCML, but an application that use it (z3ext.portal, for example) should do it.

For those, who really like autoincludes, could use <includeDependencies package="z3ext.formatter" /> in their application. Or even it would be nice to have recursive autoincluder in the "z3c.autoinclude" package itself.

I'd gladly remove z3c.autoinclude from several packages, like already mentioned z3ext.formatter and z3ext.ownership. If you want - I can do it in Zope's SVN. And even make a PyPI release, if you give me rights (my pypi username is "nadako").

You can give me SF.net access, but I don't think I'll make much contribution, as I don't really use most of z3ext packages yet. My username there is "dankor".

Уже не первый раз пытаюсь установить z3ext, но так ни разу и не получилось. Думал может на этот раз получится, но стало ещё хуже. Если раньше buildout сначала загружал много пакетов и потом вываливалась ошибка (не помню какая), то теперь ошибка в самом же начале:

Hi Nickolay,

z3ext is a great piece of work. Well done. I sincerely hope that your project gets some followers in the Zope community.

1. Locales

In our office a number when we tried to use z3ext first, we had problems adding newsitems. We could not enter the date strings correctly. It turns out that the default installs of Firefox on our systems are US locale, whereas we are in Ireland and use a different version of dates.

It would be useful to be able to override the browse choice of locale with a system specific one.

This is probably only relevant in English speaking countries where we use the defaults and never look at them.

2. TTW Customisation

Finally, do you have any notes on the TTW customisation. I found User Interface Configuration. I have been spoilt by the functionality of CPS so I just want to make sure there is not a WYSIWYG skin layout editor that I am missing.

3.  Naming

How should I say z3ext. Currently I am spelling it out Z.3.E.X.T. Do you have a cute way of saying it? Z.3.X'ed perhaps?


Regards

Kevin

Kevin,

answers on your questions:

1) i use z3c.form for all forms, so datetime widget is the one from z3c.form package. i'll add new default datetime widget in next version of z3c.layoutform.

2) about TTW customization. i develop several packages: z3ext.persistentlayout, z3ext.persistentresource, z3ext.persistentviewmodel
you can't do WYSIWYG editing of layouts but you can do edit layouts TTW as simple page templates. persistentviewmodel - it is waht available in 'extensions' tab under 'View model' extension.

3) i've never think about naming :) i just needed namespace for my package.

P.S. about WYSIWYG editor, there is unreleased package z3ext.ui.extjswidget, it contains WYSIWYG editor for newsitems, pages bodies and js versions of date and datetime fields.

and Kevin you should examine all packages from z3ext namespace i don't use all of them in z3extnet instance
