Zope2.ZodbBrowser is a web application to browse, inspect and introspect Zope's zodb objects.

Introduction

Zope2.ZodbBrowser is a web application to browse, inspect and introspect Zope’s zodb objects. It is inspired on smalltalk’s class browser and zodbbrowsers for zope3.

There is a demo video available at YouTube’s menttes channel.

Using ZodbBrowser with your buildout

If you already have a buildout for Zope2.13 or Plone4 running, edit buildout.cfg to add zope2.zodbbrowser to eggs and zcml sections at buildout and instance parts respectively.

[buildout]
...
eggs = zope2.zodbbrowser
...
[instance]
...
zcml = zope2.zodbbrowser

Then run bin/buildout to make the changes effective.

Buildout Install

$ svn co http://zodbbrowser.googlecode.com/svn/buildout/ zodbbrowser
$ python2.6 bootstrap.py
$ bin/buildout -v
$ bin/instance fg

Use of zodbbrowser

To access zodbbrowser add /zodbbrowser in your zope instance url, for example: http://localhost:8080/zodbbrowser
