Is this news? Anyway, there's a long article describing Zope by Tom Riedl in June's Linux Magazin (in German).
I put the article online yesterday.
http://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgabe.1999.06/Zope/zope.html
Right now Zope is fully featured on our website (take a look at the Cover too :-)) and I plan to put the redesigned website (with Zope of course :-)) online as soon as possible.
Some remarks:
1. With Aquisition I could finally do what I always wanted to do! Bellissimo! Poor CGI-Developpers :-)
2. I was shocked this week when I read the message, that by updating a property of an object one gets a backup of that object too. Thinking a minute about Zope and its possibilities this was of course obvious. I just forgot it and implemented a banner-managment with "intelligent" banners which know their URL, who often they are seen and clicked. I wish I could change
<!--#with banner--> <!--#call "manage_changeProperties(clicked=clicked+1)"--> <!--#call "RESPONSE.redirect(url)"--> <!--#/with-->
If you look through the list for the Counter product I sent awhile back, I believe it has a technique for avoiding excessive growth of the database by caching changes, and writing the changes to permanent storage every X increments. Something like that might work here. Sorry, but I don't recall exactly how I did it.
to something like
<!--#with banner--> <!--#call "manage_changeProperties(clicked=clicked+1, nobackup=1)"--> <!--#call "RESPONSE.redirect(url)"--> <!--#/with-->
Does this give sense? Is something like this planned?
3. I do not have a clue how I can implement a search interface for the website I did? Some pointers to the docs or maybe a simple example would really be nice?
4. My Data.bbb - file will be around 300 MB. Is this a problem? I remember an email which mentions that Zope has no problem with big datasets, but how big was that number?
5. Developping with Zope is just fun, although my learning curve was quite steep :-)
