[Zope-PTK] Adding Discussion threads to the PTK?
Hi,

What is the best way to add discussion threading to the PTK?

I had looked at the ZDiscussions product a month ago and it
looked promising but incomplete. Is this the right base to
work off? I am also interested in the ZTopic product that
Paul had talked about and want to ensure that we are using
the right base to enable Topics and Discussions to fully
integrate.

If ZDiscussion is the right base then I have an initial problem.
On both of my PTK installations I get erros while trying to
load the sample .zexp file (ZDiscussion.zexp). The trace is
included below. Has anyone installed and used ZDiscussion?

Best,

There is not yet an officially blessed discussion system for the PTK.
I have some work based on this list's discussion about PTK discussions.
If you can hold on `till next week, you can guinea-pig what I'm working
on.

This will be available (though not necessarily in a form that will
allow naive users to create them) shortly, check the CVS in the morning.

I hate to make such an obvious suggestion, but are you sure that
importing it into the right place? That message often means you're
trying to import it someplace other than /Control_Panel/Products. I'm not
optimistic that's what's happening, but it's all that occurs to me just
now.

I am happy to be a guinea-pig. I am busy until Friday morning
anyway. Will this official discussion system be ZDiscussion based?

I will check on the CVS in the morning and see if I can understand it.
Every week gets me closer to that magic line that divides naive from Zen.

You are correct Sir! I did the stupid thing and just assumed the .zexp
file was an example of how to use the ZDisc product rather then the ZClass
stubs. Sorry for the stupid questionb.
