I read the early Tabula Manager's Guide doc that Paul sent the URL for (thanks, Paul!). It looks like a Really Useful Thing(tm). I know that the machinery is in the 1.10 pr1 release... will the final 1.10 release actually have the management screens and "normal" product interface for Z Tables?
Ugh, I really need to make sure I don't misrepresent things. We have some software that is "above the line" and some that is "below the line". Above the line software is not generally available. We might save it for our consulting customers, for partners (people that give case studies, etc.), or people contributing to projects (for instance, when the Zone takes off). Below the line software is publicly available. Some is supported (e.g. Zope) and some is unsupported (UserDB and Confera). Z Tables is above the line. The "guts" of Z Tables are below the line. The reasons are mostly pragmatic: 1) We don't have enough resources to support *more* free stuff, as we are having a hard enough time supporting what's already there. 2) The user documentation is incomplete. 3) There is no programmer documentation. 4) Adding value to consulting relationships.
Also, something that wasn't clear to me from the Manager's Guide: can you update (as in add/delete records) from a Z Table through the web? The doc makes it appear that Z Tables are updated only by uploading data files.
There is a "Data" tab that lets you add a single record, edit a record, or delete one/many records. --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul@digicool.com 540.371.6909
