I've actually got something similar. What I decided to do is use an external database (Postgres in this case) and store all the information there. There is a Zope product to allows for simple data entry into the database, and there is another product that allows for simple displaying of the information in a table. Editing existing records is a lot trickier (at least to my fledgling SQL database and Zope knowledge). I'd guess that you would need to use a unigue key field, read a row of data and then issue an update back to the database based on the key field, something like: update table_name set column_name=new_value where key_field=x x would be the unique key value for the row you want to edit, table_name is the name of your table, and column_name is the name of the column containing the data you want to edit. You could probably make each cell in the table a link to a properly structured update command (based on variables in Zope's namespace area) fairly easily. Ideally an anonymous user would just see the data, but an authenticated user with the proper permissions would see the links and be able to edit (at least for my application). Hopefully someone out there with a bit more knowledge can lead us both down a better (cleaner, easier to implement?) path... Jeff On Tue, 9 May 2000, Jonathan Park wrote:
Hello All! I need your kind help. I'm tring to creat a table like the tables in excel that holds name phone email etc....
that i can manage in zope rather than in excel if i need to edit or update it.
In other words I want to move it over in zope, but I can't seem to figure it out.. Would you use tinytables??? and how would you use it because I'm having trouble.
Thank you very much!! :)
