A week's worth of hacking to present NewsCenter. I'll bump of the version numbers once I get a few more features and get some feedback from the community regarding any fixes and pretty up the interface. Its stable for me and works well. Thanks to Amos and Shane of DC for contributing (RSSChannel, XMLDocument) and (BTreeFolder) respectively without which I wouldn't have been inspired to make this Product. location: http://www.zope.org/Members/k_vertigo/ZopeProducts/NewsCenter
From The Readme
NewsCenter is a Zope/XML application that aims to be a resouce for Zope sites to allow their users access to the latest headlines from around the world on many different topics. It would like to bring order to this mass of information by making it searchable and displayed in a format that is easy to navigate and also allow users to have email syndication of channels that they are interested in. NewsCenter's news acquisition is based on the import of aggregate channel listings in a variety of xml formats. NewsCenter was designed for site managers to individually publish channels contained within a channel list. Furthermore because of performance considerations when importing a large number of channels or a large channel list it has options for the xml files to be loaded from the file system as opposed to the default settings which obtains them directly from the web. <b>Current Status:</b> - NewsCenter supports aggregate channel lists in the ocs format. - NewsCenter supports channels in the RSS.91 format - i've imported over 750 channels using ocs files from http://www.xmltree.org (1.1M) http://www.xmltree.com/export/ocs.cfm and http://www.moreover.com (768K) http://www.moreover.com/categories/ocs/ocsdirectory.rdf Btw. next on the todo list is add ZCatalog searches and meerkat channels (http://www.oreillynet.com/meerkat) REQUIRES- Zope-2.2, BTreeFolder, XMLDocument, PyXML Package(sourceforge) http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/BTreeFolder/ http://www.zope.org/Products/XMLDocument http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=6473 INSTALL- untar in your zope directory LICENSE- LGPL for everythin except for the dcRSSChannel(dublin core) which is ZPL'd please email me any feature request, comments, bugs, patches, yahtzee:) Cheers Kapil
