We are using Plone as an intranet for the company I work for. Something clicked the other day, and I figured out that we could use WebDAV to access folders for creating and editing standard files (Word, Excel, etc.). So I started the process of looking into this. I have managed to get my OS X machine to access folders via WebDAV and I can create and edit files without a hitch.
While looking through various documentation I have seen proposals suggesting that Zope should use the versioning and locking features of the WebDAV protocol. What I haven't found is proof that these items have been integrated into Zope. I realize that the client needs to also implement these features. So my questions are:
- Does Zope provide a means to lock and/or provide version control on objects being edited via WebDAV?
As I understand it: Locking, yes! Versioning, no- at least not "out of the box".
- If so, is there some source of documentation that provides more detail?
you might want to look at the ExternalEditor product, since it basically utilizes the stuff you speak of above to provide a very flexible way for non-Zopistas to edit whatever sort of content they need to in their preferred environment.
