Hello - I understand that the development of a site can be done on my Windows workstation, but once it goes live, doesn't the site need to be moved to a real server? So my ISP would need to have Zope installed, yes? Seems obvious but I wanted to check. ;-)
yes, you are right..
I'm creating a simple newsletter site and it seems like Zope would be perfect. As new articles are written, the old ones need to be moved to an archive page. If I understand correctly, this procedure would be easy with Zope. If each article is contained within its own folder, they could be simply dragged from one location to another using the Zope control panel. My question is this, if this simple newsletter page has four positions for articles, how do I control where on the page the articles appear.
main idea for two news-folders: - create 2 news-folders with id's = right, left - put your news as simple [without header & body-tags] html-formatted documents [use DTMLDocument and clear everything before typing anything...;-)] in the folders or move them around between them - write a index_html in your ROOT-Folder which renders a table for your news: <table> <tr> <td>Left Side</td> <td>Right</td> </tr> <td> <dtml-with left> <dtml-in objectValues> <dtml-var sequence-item> <hr> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> </td> <td> <dtml-with right> <dtml-in objectValues> <dtml-var sequence-item> <hr> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> </td> </tr> </table> that should give you an idea... maybe you can divide your big question into simpler ones next time... would be easier to write an answer this way...;-) greetings, maik
