Ok, I've just read the New Riders Zope Web Application Development & Content Management book, and I've got some questions I hope some kind soul out there will help me with. From what I can see, Zope is just what I've been wishing for. I only hope I have enough brain cells left to learn these 'new tricks'. 1. I have Zope installed in a Windows XP environment. Is it possible to move the data.fs file to a location other than the program executable 'var' directory. Our executables are under a different backup schedule than data files. My other option would be to move the entire zope directory over to a data drive. 2. In the book, it mentions that Zope Templates have to be total and complete html documents. If I want to create separate items like banners and navbars that will get sucked into all pages, I assume that means they have to be methods that are somehow included into a template? In other words, you can't have a portion of a page defined as a template as I understand this. 3. The book talks about creating a zope on a particular port. Does this mean that I have multiple zope services running, or is it possible to have a single service monitor multiple ports? 4. In the application case study, the book said that experience has shown that it's best to have a folder at the root before the top level folder of your site, as follows: / (root) Top/ Top Level Folder SiteRoot/ (Actual Site Root Folder) Can someone explain the value of that one additional folder layer? I'm not seeing it yet and I'm pretty sure it's just because I am missing something.
