Hey everyone,
I was looking at linux.com the today and I noticed their "Daily Photo." I occurred to me that that would be a fun addition to the school's page that I'm developing. My first thought would be to:
* inherit from Image * add caption, date taken, etc. properties * create an archive of past photos
What I'm not sure about is how to have Zope automatically display the photo for a day, then archive it. Would a boolean property of the ZClass work? Is it possible to have Zope set the property of a ZClass instance at certain time? Any thoughts on how this would be designed?
I'd pre-create the archive in advance. Use dates as Ids, and have the archive page only list past photos. The homepage would show the photo for today. Simple and sweet. Or you could use a Python Script/Python Method/External Method/DTML Method (whatever you prefer) called currentPhoto or something that does the calculation for you and return the correct object to the caller. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ ---------------------------------------------
