zope-zodbbrowser-0.14.0-1.lbn25.noarch

The ZODB browser allows you to inspect persistent objects stored in the ZODB, view their attributes and historical changes made to them.

Command-line options

Run bin/zodbbrowser --help to see a full and up-to-date list of command-line options:

Usage: zodbbrowser [options] [FILENAME | --zeo ADDRESS]

Open a ZODB database and start a web-based browser app.

Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit --zeo=ADDRESS connect to ZEO server instead --listen=ADDRESS specify port (or host:port) to listen on --rw open the database read-write (allows creation of the standard Zope local utilities if missing)

Help! Broken objects everywhere

If you don't want to see everywhere, make sure your application objects are importable from the Python path. The easiest way of doing that is adding zodbbrowser to your application's buildout (or virtualenv, if you use virtualenvs). This way your application (or Zope's) nice __repr__ will also be used. Online help

There's a little help link in the bottom-right corner of every page that describes the user interface in greater detail. Usage as a plugin

Add zodbbrowser to the list of eggs (e.g. in buildout.cfg of your app) and add this to your site.zcml:

Rerun bin/buildout, restart Zope and append @@zodbbrowser to the end of the URL to start browsing, e.g. http://localhost:8080/@@zodbbrowser. Or, if you still use ZMI (the Zope Management Interface), look for a new menu item titled "ZODB Browser".
