Greetings! I've been lurking for a bit and have appreciated the tips and ideas I've picked up on the list. But now I have a question. In one of my pages, I would like to pull in the latest stories from Linux Today. They explain what to do at:
http://linuxtoday.com/linkus.html
All I would like to do is pull the following file into the middle of a DTML document:
http://linuxtoday.com/backend/lthead.inc
Now I frequently did this before with Apache and server-side includes, but I can't figure out exactly how to do this using DTML. In looking around zope.org, I found the contributed external method for pulling in items from Slashdot.org:
http://www.zope.org/Download/Contrib/slashdot.py
And while that works... and I could sit and modify the python to have it go pull in the LinuxToday info... I just find myself sitting here thinking there's got to be a better way to do this! All I want to do is pull in the LT file... no formatting or anything else.
In a related series of posts, I indicated interest in a more sophisticated version of this that would actually construct local objects from remote files: http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-June/005521.html http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-June/005524.html Something of this sort already exists for Userland's Frontier: http://discuss.userland.com/msgReader$7333 I feel that this capability for content syndication would be a 'killer app' for the Zope Portal Toolkit, but could concievably be encapsulated in it's own product. 01 (my two bits), Michael Bernstein.
