I am a really new user of Zope. In going through the Zope book I am stumped in the following section. I seem to be missing some very important key piece of information. I have tried to save my Dreamweaver templates to the ../index_html/source.html. However because index_html is not a folder the ftp client in Dreamweaver will not allow me to access the url. I guess I don't understand how one is supposed to save a file to a URL when the file.Save As.. option is dependent upon directories. If anyone has some insight to offer please let me know.
I have to say (and I may be missing something fundamental here) that the source.html stuff seems like a red herring. What you need to do is have Dreamweaver access the webdav_source_port (so you get the unrendered DTML or ZPT code - search the list archives for more information about this). There's a proto-HowTo on using DW at: http://lib-srvr5.lib.bris.ac.uk:20080/zpt_test/weweb/dw4zope.pt This is also part of me learning how to use ZPT and so to understand why this page looks like it does see: http://lib-srvr5.lib.bris.ac.uk:20080/zpt_test/weweb/howto.htm When I'm more confident I'm doing the right things I'll move these on to the Zope site. I've played with GoLive too. I don't like the way DW forces you to work with a local and remote site - GoLive is nicer in this respect in that it allows you to edit the remote site directly. But DW has a more intuitive interface in terms of editing pages IMHO. Now: a question of others who've been using DW or GoLive - are you doing it over SSL? Both seem broken when it comes to https URLs. I've had some success using WebDrive 5.0 over SSL (version 4 doesn't work) but _only_ with GoLive. Dreamweaver insists on changing the mime-type of any ZPT is saves via WebDrive. Amazingly even FrontPage becomes a useful and benign ZPT wysiwyg editor when used via WebDrive! Any workarounds (or suggestions of same) for the DW-WebDrive problem (or inside information about when DW or GoLive are going to support secure protocols) greatly appreciated.
