It is great to see more posts about how well zope works for "Web 2.0" projects. I have used extjs with zope and really like the combination. I'd like to learn more about your jquery /plone setup and how you make it work. Would it be a time consuming for you to create a generic product that demonstrates your setup? It would be helpful to have a common set of artifacts to discuss.
Am happy to share - it's all very simple stuff, the elements just work very elegantly together. I'm stringing other people's pearls here - the tools are great, putting them together is trivial. However, having got the elements together, I'm now moving from a TTW approach (yes, I know - I'm a dinosaur!) to a Product approach, which is going to be a pretty steep learning curve for me. I need to document my starting point (which is effectively a common folder of scripts and templates, which the working pages access by acquisition), so I'll post a link to the list asking for feedback when I'm at that point. N.B. This is going to take me at least a couple of weeks - I've got some paying work to finish off before I can move on to that. I've got a "proof of concept" set of templates without Formulator or any RDBMS interaction that I did somewhere. It's only about three templates and a scrip. I'll post them when I find them, so that you can see how Taconite works with ZPTs, which is the most joyful part of it for me. -- Regards, PhilK 'work as if you lived in the early days of a better nation' - alasdair gray
