Well why not then do it
Usual excuses, because I have too many things to do and not enough time or motivation to do them all.
I would actually be interested to develope this kind of setup too - if you share your magic in how you are creating these setup-distributions.
Thanks for the complement, but there isnt much magic involved. Its just a matter of using a good installer like Inno http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php and some great tools like Plone, Zope the controller and flinging it all together. Thanks for reminding me though, the Inno setup file is now included in the distro...
And since we are talking about it - I would like to also know how to make programs / scripts into windows that add for example a new web folder shortcut to Zope with parameteres that user writes. ,-)
I think what you are talking about is it contained in the installer. If you want to do it by hand, win32all provides lots of neat functions like CreateShortcut()
They could have local servers for each office and replicate servers.. etc...
If you really wanted to get fancy with this though it might be to look at something like StandbyStorage which uses spread to syncrohnize ZODB's ... http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/StandbyStorage -- Andy McKay Agmweb Consulting http://www.agmweb.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "Heimo Laukkanen" <huima@fountainpark.org> To: "Andy McKay" <andy@agmweb.ca> Cc: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 6:17 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope on local machine and ZSynched to a server - could it be like Radio Userland?

Well why not then do it. I mean you have - in you Plone windows installer - a great start for this kind of setup too. I would actually be interested to develope this kind of setup too - if you share your magic in how you are creating these setup-distributions.

What I am thinking about is the possibility to create a local Zope CMF editor enviroment setup.exe that I could easily modify and configure for different needs and send to almost anyone -- or let editors download the package by themselves.
The development enviroment could be visually similar to the live service - or even totally different - in a sense of being just an editor enviroment and live website is also the publishing enviroment. And then again publishing would happen on object or folder basis - to the Inbox folder or live folder of the site. Wohoo - that would be cool.
wouldnt be much different if one ftp'd out your say Squishdot web log onto a plain and cheap site with ftp access (with the obvious static problem).
I thougth about this too. I didn't quite agree on what would be the best possible way to do dumping a rendered view of the site to an ftp server: start with a script to go through element and view it and save that to the server, use wget to collect everything rendered to a temporary folder and upload that via ftp to the server or use sitecopy etc.
Too tired to think anymore ,-)
It would be very cool. However there is obviously quite a bit of work on ZSyncer alone for that sort of reliability and redundancy (and all the Zope 2 cruft). Not sure if there is a good commercial application for it though ;)
,-) Yep. But in the timespan of 2 - 3 years solving the replication would be really really really cool and open different possibilities to Zope web applications. Think about intranet of a company that is spread on different sites and that doesn't have good internet connections between offices - or wants to reserve the bandwidth for something else. They could have local servers for each office and replicate servers.. etc...
I've never used or programmed notes, but I've been told that Notes can work like that.
