Hi!
We´re thinking about using Zope for our University website. Now we face following problem: We need a simple solution for people who don´t want to care about DTML to publish their documents using Composer or similar WYSIWYG tools. These documents should be rendered with some standard HTML-code (navigation and the like). Is there any possibility to do this without having to teach everyone <dtml-var> etc.? We tested various things (access rules) but in the best case we end up with nested <html> tags. Unfortunately, we have no python experts here and we´re not learning fast enough to present a solution within time.
Some background info: we have to ensure that virtually erveryone here has a simple way to put information on the net. Most of these people have little or no HTML knowledge but use Composer, HotMetal or even word to create their documents. So it seems unacceptable to our bosses to bother anyone with manipulating sources. We would really like to use Zope because of its great management features, user management and expandibility (and its price ;-), so any hints would be highly appreciated.
You could just create a ZClass that will allow people to add plain text items. You then format this item by converting linebreaks to <BR> tags. The Zope.org site uses such an object, it's called the Formatted Document I believe. Just set up a membership account, and experiment. It also allows you to use Structured Text and HTML. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
