Hi Dirk, Thank you for the response. I should have been more specific. We are very restricted in what we can use as we are being required to conform to Priority I of the Web Accessibility Initiative <http://www.w3.org/WAI/>. I.e. Solutions for an editor must be as browser Independent as possible. richttext looks very nice but, I think it would get the axe due to its reliance on IE 5.5. richtext looks exactly like EGrail's editor except EGrail lists IE 5.0 or Netscape 4.75 and higher as compatible clients. SmartSections looks interesting but, we would need something more developed (the demo crashed several times when editing text to the "Header" section of a table...). I must confess that I am too new to Zope to fully understand how to implement my own template based editing interface. I will take a look at MetaPublisher and Squishdot next. Could you tell me what you are using? Thanks Again, -Ryan On Mon, 31 Dec 2001, Dirk Datzert wrote:
Hi,
have you seen the SmartSections from http://demo.iuveno-net.de ? They support inline editing in a preview version without any HTML. Has integration for a WYSIWYG-Editor richttext from sourceforge.net .
There is also a Product called IEMethod.
Check out Formulator and SmartWizard for building your own Input-Templates. There is MetaPublisher and Squishdot and many more.
We were in the same situation as you for our intranet, but Zope will out first choice against a commercial cms.
Regards, Dirk

Forgive me if I missed something. I am evaluating Zope as a possible CMS for a large University with a mix of very non-technical users through experienced technical uers.
Our goal is to find something we can offer the non-technical people which _can_ eliminate all the different tools these people try to use which we are then forced to support (ftp, Dreamweaver, HTML-Kit, HomeSite, Frontpage, MS Word, Netscape Composer etc..)
I do like the fact that Zope supports use of these tools.
However, I was hoping there was add on or extension which offered more of a WYSIWYG interface through the browser for the non-technical people which only presented them with a page's content. For example something that ensures they use a template. It would need to be simple as point and click. I.e. Point to the "nav bar" section of a web page to allow editing of that section of the page.
Zope seems to meet most of our goals. So far I'm very impressed. Does anybody have more information as to whether Zope can provide this functionality?
BTW: I've seen this functionality in Egrail but the cost can't be justified ($125,000 + 15% maintenance fee)...
