I actually started this a few days ago, although not really hacking ZDiscussions, more like rebuilding a new discussion with a SQL backend and modeled after UBB. You can look at what I started to write here... http://www.zope.org/Members/BwanaZulia/ZUBB/README I am up to a slew of tables and building the forms to add topics. Take a look and let me know if this is what you were looking to build. I will add that I too am not a "real" programmer and while I have been using Zope for months I am still just ramping up. Thanks, J
hi all, i'm thinking of hacking zdiscussion to use rdb as the backend instead of zodb. but before i start anything, i'd like input from you learned zopistas.
me:- i'm not a REAL programmer. just a hobbyist. some of my concerns -will a level 2 da be sufficient for high write site? i'm thinking of using postgres -if i were to retain what zdiscssion has, willl it suffice to have just one table? i would like to tie this to AUTHENTICATED_USER. so i want to use user db as the authenticating agent. is it advisable to just put the forum table in the user db database? -how would you guys do the tree from sql? -what other improvement can be included? what pitfalls to avoid? -anybody done this(zdiscussion/confera with sql backend) yet?
this is just a start. i'm not sure whether i'll succeed. but i'll die trying :)
thanks.
