I am currently implementing Skinnable objects for Zope that'll allow you to easily define an alternative version of the management interface, and switch between these interfaces very easily. You could build your own version that doesn't use JavaScript at all.
this is fantastic news. as a newcomer to zope, i have found the (lack of) distinction between the programming interface and the content management interface troubling when designing content management interfaces for clients. every now and again i start creating new, simplified management screens that fit in with the branding of the site they manage; but eventually i find i'm duplicating the management interface and end up by giving up and teaching clients how to use that.
is there any info on zope.org about these skinnable objects, or about this issue in general? how will they interface with the zope api? have you decided on the default skin functionality? when can we expect to see a release? i'm all excited....
Documentation is all still geared towards implementation, everything about the project is at: http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/SkinnableAndLocalizableObjects -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ | ZopeStudio: http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeStudio -----------------------------------------------------
