Well, I've been having fun poking around Zope, and whilst learning, I came up with a simple,but usefull Zope product, ExternalLink. It's used to represent hyperlink, and is usefull for linklists. It: - can check links - also keeps track of statistics on the remote document (size, mimetype & last modified date) - can count click-thrus - has a facility for batch creation of ExternalLink objects by uploading a simple textfile And it includes a ZPublisher.Client script runnable from a cronjob to automate link checking (when the script runs, it does the actual contacting of the remote server itself to avoid blocking the Zope server) So, get it, use it, love it :> http://www.integral.org/~dragondm/python/ExternalLink.tar.gz -The Dragon De Monsyne
