hi all, company where i work among other thing creates web applications. we mostly program them as cgi scripts in perl, but we do not find it to be the best way. we'd rather find som product (framework), where we could do something like publishing objects. in this enviroment behaviour of object, and their displaying should be somehow independent. for example, i'd define object Guestbook, with it's behaviour. this object i'd use on different websites and for each website i'd define other way of displaying. we want this object publishing framework to be open source. we found zope and right now are evaluating it. i think it's nice and it fullfils many of our needs, but i have following problem: i define object (product) in python, together with his behaviour and default displaying. well, it appears in products list and then i can ad it to any folder. what i dont know is how to change displayng of product. all i can do is change displaying of instance of product, but thats not ok. id like to define some properties for product, that i could change in products folder and that changes would appear in all instances of product. well, i can do it by changing python code, but that's bad solution, because i want object and (other than default) displaying to be independent. would you please let me know, or point to documents, where i could find how to define product properties, that are system-wide? i'm new to zope and python and could not resolve the issue. thanks! i'd also like, if you let me know about other object publishing frameworks, that are open sourced. i was not able to find anything comparable to zope. thanks one more time, have a nice day, bye Deckard (Vladimir.Tomasovic@kiss.sk)
