[Zope3-dev] registration of local utilities through-the-web

[Jean-Marc Orliaguet]

sorry I can't reply online (I don't have the permissions):

there are two possibilities:
- register a '@@registration.html' for objects that implement Components 
(this is what I did in http://svn.z3lab.org/trac/z3lab/changeset/3088). 
However it must be made in the application itself and it takes a while 
(at least it did for me) to find out why the registration mechanism does 
not work. An exception saying: "an object cannot be registered in 
itself" would help.

- fix the registration page/view zope3 and make sure that 
getSiteManager() does not return the object that one is trying to register.

I can add a fix, and a test, i.e. using the parent object, OK?

if sm == self.context:
    sm = component.getSiteManager(getParent(self.context))

that ought to be generic enough
