Hi! I plan to create a product I call Zope Smart Manager that consist in a view similar to freemind for Zope You could see a picture of my prototype here: http://blogs.sistes.net/Garito/images/ArbolYanged.png
While I can see visual differences, how does this tree behave differently than the one which the ZMI shows?
This is just a tree rotated counter-clockwise.
The idea is create a series of monkey patches to all the products we are interested to see as tree nodes and a series of javascript (prototype + scriptaculous) for the "client side"
I plan this ZSM view will be my main work view with edition and creation
For that I need some help about how to create the simplest monkey patch and the javascript objects
I don't know why you think you need to moneky-patch anything: you should be able to create such a view using the standard API supplied by pretty much every existing Zope object. The ZMI tree code is here:
$ZOPE_HOME/lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py
The only issue I see here is the problem to render the graph from left to right instead from top to bottom. There are several graph-drawing tools available (best to start with Graphviz) that generate images or HTML/Imagemaps. -aj
