I'm just new to Zope, and have some questions both on documentation and on overall architecture.
Welcome!
Thanks!
You would probably want to make the Quick Links bar a DTML Method. This makes it easy to include it wherever you wish.
<dtml-var quicklinks>
Ah ha! So any object (or at least documents and methods) can act as a variable? Neat! Question: How does <!--#var quicklinks> (as is found in the documentation) differ from <dtml-var quicklinks>? When should each be used? While discussing variables, how does typing in Zope work? I know that properties have types. What I want to do is read in a date from a user with an input form and then compare that to, for instance, a date in a Gadfly database -- or even just an arbitrary date. How can I tell Zope (or Gadfly) that it's dealing with a date? I didn't seem to find any casting operators around anywhere.
If you do really want it in Zope, you could use XML-RPC or ZClient to update things via cron.
Where can I find documentation on these? Thanks for the other answers as well, you've got me off to a good start! -- John -- John Goerzen Linux, Unix consulting & programming jgoerzen@complete.org | Developer, Debian GNU/Linux (Free powerful OS upgrade) www.debian.org | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The 205,497th digit of pi is 9.
