Hello, I am brand new to Zope, and have a task-oriented type of question. I'd like recommendations for the best way to do what I'd like to do. What I'd like to do is: Create a variety of different forms which create Zope documents. The forms would have different fields for different types of documents (though they would all have certain fields in common, such as author name... most of the fields would be displayed as part of the document body) I've not been able to figure out what is the proper Zope way to do this... Populate a variable associated with each doc for "expected expiration release" (because I want to be able to find all docs which are either older than a certain age based on creation date, or which expire with the current release of our production software, and then assign them to someone's todo list to edit them) Indeed, what I think I really want is to modify numerous copies of the master template for adding a document so that documentors can just add content and pick from a list of document types. However, I couldn't really figure out if I was going to keep the maximum amount of residual sanity if I did this by modifying all the templates by-hand, or doing something more automatic with Zclasses, or packages, or if I need to use the CMF or what... I could just hack stuff in Perl CGI and MySQL to do this, but if I learn the Zope way I'll become a better person, right? :-) I'd like to create applications to act on these documents, and a whole lot more, but for starters I figure I need to figure out how to make these forms and start inputting docs that have the right structure to support my apps. Please advise. Thanks. LL+P, Stephan -- ----------------------------------------------- Stephan Vladimir Bugaj, Minister of Information Pixar Animation Studios 1200 Park Ave, Emeryville, CA 94608
