ExternalEditor 0.2 Released
by Casey Duncan 16 May '02

16 May '02

Thanks for everybody who sent feedback on version 0.1, which works pretty well so long as you don't try to uninstall it. I suggest anyone you installed version 0.1 to download and install 0.2 which should alleviate this problem. If you want to uninstall version 0.1, extract the 0.2 tarball into your Products directory and restart Zope first. Then you can uninstall it by removing the product directory. Sorry if this caused anyone inconvenience. Download at: http://www.zope.org/Members/Caseman/ExternalEditor -Casey

External Editor 0.1 - Use your favorite editor directly from the ZMI
by Casey Duncan 15 May '02

15 May '02

Are you getting a bit tired of kludgy Zope editing solutions? Have textareas got you down? Not entirely impressed with WebDAV? Is FTP getting on your last nerve? Have you ever wanted to just click on an object in the ZMI, have your favorite editor pop up and edit to your heart's content? Impossible...too good to be true...never gonna happen, right? *Wrong*. ExternalEditor is a new approach to integrating Zope with external editing tools. It consists of two parts: a simple Zope product and a configurable client-side helper application that work together with the editing tools of your choice. Because of the way the helper application is designed, it can work with *any* graphical editor that can open and save a file. It works equally well with text and binary data. Click and edit your Page Templates in emacs, your images with gimp. When you save the changes, the helper application automatically uploads the data back to Zope. When you exit the application, the helper app also exits. Edit as many objects simultaneously as you like. ExternalEditor automatically handles locking so that only one person can be editing an object at a time (externally or through the web). Any object that can be edited via FTP or DAV works with ExternalEditor. Check out the product page for details and to download! http://www.zope.org/Members/Caseman/ExternalEditor Enjoy! -Casey
