Dear list, I am new to Zope solution. Now , we are evaluate the Zope. We are using Apache && PHP && MySQL to publish our newpaper on website. The news content is inserted to MySQL by a script , then confirm by secretary. We wrote a simple interface let the colleague to do this. In the near future we probably will set the permission to reporters && editors. Let them can work more closly on website. And we are going to add more value service on this site. for examples: the forum relate to news, talk back, each content could have relation to each content. The news could relate to Ad. banner, and display the picture for each news. News are talking about the some topic could relate to the same discussion forum. && more ..... more Our URL looks like. main url: http://www.xxxcompany.com/news news is a PHP script , this page will produce all the link of today's news content. The news url: http://www.xxxcompany/news/2001/12/21/story/0000116688 The news script will explain the rest of url to 2001-12-21 the date field in news table in our db. story is for different include lib file for different purpose. 0000116688 is the article id in news table. then we can build the web page. It's the way we are doing now. But by thinking about the future. We try to build a solution for more roubst && extensible && more perple involved. Then we start thinking the Zope && ZEO. """ Can any one suggest us any idea to move on or have any idea on the kind of situtation. Should I just pull all the news from DB throw ZODB stored on ZEO fs. Then define the permission for the editors && reporter. Let them could edit && add the new content && images on the website, or I should create a complicate interface to select , update && insert the data with the db with keep tracking on different section of reporters && editors. Any ways can through much easier ? ;-( """ Any comment , suggest , even complain my english are welcome. Have a nice day && Merry Christmas http://www.taipeitimes.com terry@taipeitimes.com Terry
