What kind of content is it that you are uploading to Zope, and what is your workflow? As someone working in the news industry with several online newspapers and also fairly experienced with Zope and content automation, I might be able to make some suggestions that might help you out. Zope has some weird issues with namespaces and syntax that sometimes clash with Python's. That said, I think that things are constantly improving. Perhaps _['identifier'] solves your problem, at the slight cost of being just a bit kludgy. Do you use Zope for your staging server, or just for your live site? There might be ways to use it at both ends, integrate with dreamweaver, and bypass using wget... >From the sounds of it, you are using zope as the back end to an "editorial-system" workflow using Dreamweaver, but you are not taking advantage of most of Zope's features that facilitate content management. If I was familiar with your workflow, I'd be happy to provide advice if I could be of any help.

Although it may not be a big issue if you remain in Zserver and Unix, it is if we want the Zope's users base to keep growing, because we all benefit from it. And this point is a sort of unpleasant barrier for not-programmers Windows users like me. Dreamweaver is great for layout and design, and for nothing else. In despite of its templates and libraries and everything else, it would be unclever to let the journalists and editors in charge of content creation at my job, to open Dreamweaver and insert their stories in each page, asking them to not forget to write the summary in the description tag and the story title as the page title tag. :) For the time being we can't afford a 3 Mb/s connection (our current bandwith needs) so we must upload to a remote server almost two hundred pages daily. And even when relying page updating on trainned personnel exclusively, there's been this funny experience that the printed edition releases before the digital one, meaning that we have to deal with this gap between releases all the time. So that's why we need Zope, and why we need to get over its behaviours. Maybe it's time to throw the ball to Macromedia's ground. :) Thanks again for your comments, Jim Ausum jpenny(a)universal-fasteners.com wrote: > > On Mon, Dec 18, 2000 at 09:10:54PM -0500, Ausum wrote: > > Hello Andy, thanks for the advice. > > It didn't work.

Batch-replacing every "_html" with ".html" in file names and > content seems to be very complicated within this scenario. not overly complicated, here is a slightly modfied script (untested) which I used for a similar task (creating an "offline"-version for a client): #!/usr/bin/bash rm -rf myimport wget -r -k http://192.168.0.201:10080/ mv 192.168.0.201/ myimport/ rm myimport/index.html perl -pi -e 's/<base href="http:\/\/192.168.0.201:10080.*//g' `find myimport/ -type f` perl -pi -e 's/(.*)_html/$1\.html/g' `find myimport/ -type f` mmv ';*_html' '#1#2.html' zip -r myimport.zip myimport/* Things to check - Check the regular expressions and mmv part, I had to change them without testing (not certain about the (.*) and the mmv (-> multiple move) syntax) - Instead of relying on _html to mark html-files one could use file(1) - but then one would have to make a list of renamed files in order to change the relevant links - Improve the regex for changing links, it might capture _html in text (but how often does that occure) cheers, oliver
