Hi Winston,
I am also new to Zope, but I can tell you that it sounds like an application for "cookies." In case you are not familiar, "cookies" are files created by the browser on the client machine that can be used by your server to store persistent state information, like a visit count or a last visit date.
Yes, but cookies have gotten a lot of bad press. I built a site with PHP and a login cookie and have gotten all caps messages from users accusing me of bloddy murder for using cookies.
I built several ( but now I have my hands on Zope :-) but no complains. You cannot educate each user about what a cookie can do anyway. The non-brainers think a `cookie' can rm -rf your hard, burn your motherboard or kill your dog. But what would be Zope w/o cookies? (remember the nice expandable trees, session management, preferences , etc.) Not much, and cookies are just okay as long as the browsers do their jobs and send them only to originating domains, or only over SSL when this is required. -- CIMPOESU Teodor, Web Programmer @ DIGICOM S.A.
