Hi all, I'm a Zope newbie; I working for a little support company that realizes (above all) dynamic Web sites with Apache + PHP; I've already worked with these tools but I feel that PHP is too limited for this complex duty, mostly because I'm accustomed from long time to such a powerful language as Python; thus for my next project I would try to employ Zope+Python instead. The problem is that as with many other commercial project I've a strict deadline to couple with. For this reason I need at least a confirmation that Zope is the right choice for this project; if it is, I've no problem to invest some time to learn how to use it efficiently. Obviously I would be very happy if you will give me some hint on how to proceed also ;-) The site I must realize is a e-commerce site very similar to amazon's one. The products catalog will reside in another site (not handled by us), and from this site when a customer clicks on a product, a script on our site will be called with the product's code as parameters. The script will add the product to a shopping basket; later the customer can proceed to the checkout. Here she/he will be able to create an account on our site for later shopping. What I need is: - A means to implement the basket; with Apache+PHP I would use a simple file containing a list of product codes, or an SQL table. - A means to set a cookie on the client browser and to associate the it with a basket; with Apache+PHP I would use a SQL relation cookie->basket, or I would put in relation the basket filename with the cookie. - A means to store the products database; with Apache+PHP I would use a simple SQL DBMS. - A means to store customer informations on the site; with Apache+PHP I would use another SQL table, with a relation one to many to store the (possibly) many customer's addresses. - I would let the site to be accessed both via https and http. - The site must be easily internationalized, thus I must be able to replace all the text in the pages with a translated version; with Apache+PHP I would use an include file where to store the text messages as PHP constants. How can I implement all this using the "Zope's Zen"? ;-) If you need some other informations I would happy to give them to you. I greatly appreciate any kind of help.
