I am new to Zope. I wonder if this is possible:
First create a folder and create a page template using either DTML or ZPT, something like this:
<standard header> <standard navigation> Page content <standard footer>
2. page authors upload standard html files to the folder (via ftp or webdav).
3. When viewed from the browser, the template is automatically applied to all uploaded files.
If this is possible, how can it be done? Thanks for any pointers.
Presumably the part you're wanting to understand is how to dynamically render the content in those HTML files (rather than, for example, how to upload them into a Zope instance to begin with). The answer is simple: 1. Write a Python script to return all objects of type "File" within the current container. 2. Call that script from your template and plunk in the content from each.
