I heard a nasty rumor that Dreamweaver could be made to use Zope. Is this true? If so, how do I do it?

Re: [Zope] What difference between subclassing from OFS:Folder and ObjectManager
by Jim Welch 05 Dec '00

You can get both if you derive from ObjectManager and then use the "Subobjects" tab in the Zope management interface. "Stefan H.

I have not yet found a way to have both ;(

Sort broken on zope.org site...
by Darin Lee 05 Dec '00

05 Dec '00

Zopistas, Following up on my question yesterday, regarding sorting on the results columns of keyword/text based searches, I have noticed that if I do a text search on the zope.org site and then try to sort on a column - the same error comes up: Error type: TypeError Error value: loop over non-sequence I looked through the collector - but couldn't find anything related to this issue. Does anyone have any insight on how to fix this? Thanks, -Darin Lee

What difference between subclassing from OFS:Folder and ObjectManager
by Dirksen 05 Dec '00

What is the difference between subclassing from OFS:Folder and ObjectManager? Is it the ONLY difference that the ObjectManager is able to limit kinds of object to contain?

RE: [Zope] FTP in HTML-Kit? Sussed it!
by Paul Browning 05 Dec '00

Like others I was a bit puzzled as to how to Save As FTP in HTML-Kit. I've just downloaded build 290 and got it all working (the stuff may have lain undiscovered in earlier verions - RTFM .....). The keys to cracking it are: 1. Go Workspace -> Add FTP Server/Folder -> Add FTP Server. Do the obvious (all familiar to Homesite users). A blue coloured ftp source will appear in the File pane on the RHS. Expand/collapse trees to navigate to the file you want to open. 2. Right-click and "Open As Text". Haven't yet fathomed the significance of this as opposed to other options. What I do know is that "Save" then does the business - saves it back to your FTP source. As a 24-day-old (6 days to go ....) Homesite evaluation user I'm really, really impressed so far with HTML-Kit. My thanks to Phil Harris et al for the tip.

Manage menu problem
by nmcdowell＠quris.com 05 Dec '00

05 Dec '00

Hi, When i use the Zope management screen i notice that on load in the browser it calls it's own(the server it's installed) IP address when loading the manage_workspace link. This is fine when working with the box directly, but when trying to manage Zope from outside our protected LAN (using a firewall that has a public IP which redirects all request to the Zope box which uses a static private address) the manage screen won't load as it can't find the protected private IP address. Ideally i want to manage my Zope both internally via the LAN and externally from wherever. I was wondering if it's just a config/startup setting as i have noticed some IP settings in the z2.py file. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Nick
