Well, neither one is exactly short...so you might want to skim them first and then go back and read in detail as you try things out. --RDM --__--__-- Message: 7 From: rgines(a)purina.com To: Marcus Schopen <marcus(a)localguru.de> cc: zope(a)zope.org Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 13:26:55 -0500 Subject: Re: [Zope] free client to map Zope-FTP My first question is "Do you realy need a drive letter?". If you don't need a drive letter, but really just need a connection which is mapped within the Windows drive space, there is a utility called Internet Neighborhood from KnoWare. It allows you to map FTP sites into the Windows 'File Explorer'. It is not free, but it is shareware.

by Marc Dullien 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

Hi, I was taking a first look at Zope today. Now I am looking for a certain feature and couldn't quite find it.If you could send me an URL where to look for the Info I need, Thanks ! Q1: With what tool inside Zope do I program the HTML Templates ? Q2: I want to fill those templates with database entries Q3: How can I do the linkage I want to seperate the Site developemant friom the content entry, so that the content people don't have to know one word of HTML and the HTML guys don't have to worry about the contetnt. If you could send me a short Howto or something, that would be great, I can find ma way through from there ! Marc

Static X Dynamic
by Rogerio Atem de Carvalho 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

Hi, I have a site with 1,000 static HTML pages containing images and text (in portuguese and english). I need: 1) Enable full text search 2) Create a mechanism to automatically generate more pages and put everything together in Zope. 3)Work under Zope versions 2.1.6 and 2.2 I know some alternatives but I would like to have some advice about them: 1) Migrate everything to a DB like MySQL, using ZSQL methods to do search, insert etc... (I'm doing it now and it works, but don't know if it 's the best solution...) 2)Use Metapublisher and Zcatalog- In this case how can I represent one to many relationships (one document to many images)??? 3)Use Metapublisher and a RDBMS- same question above. Or: 4)Use ZCatalog alone - In this case, how can I do full text search? 5)Use BTreeFolder - same question above. 6)Use LocalFS - same question above. 7)Put everything under Yihaw! structure (it would be a nice solution in terms of interface...)- same question above. Is there another soluction not listed above, or a mix of solutions? What is the best solution in terms of speed and maintenance?

How-To: Dropbox date entry for html forms
by Darran Edmundson 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

In building my first Zope site and training content providers to use the management interface, I quickly encountered requests for an easier means of entering dates (as opposed to the default "1966/09/30" format). I've written up a quick How-to that contains a DTML utility method for incorporating droplist selectable dates in html forms. Before I make it (more) public, I'd appreciate some feedback. Any objections to the implementation? What do you think about placing short utility methods in How-To's rather than Products? http://www.zope.org/Members/darran/select_date Cheers, Darran.
