You can try the ZipProduct from http://www.zope.org/Members/snej/ZipFolder hth Norman -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of jkinsley Sent: 11 August 2001 10:41 To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Is it possible to add/create complex objects via FTP? I am building a site for which I am creating an 'extended folder' object. It is a subclass of Ordered Folder which adds about 15-25 additional properties. I am lazy and I hate web forms, so do not want to go through the web interface and create all the properties manually. :) Now then I would like to take my laziness one step further. I would like to be able to create a text/plain file containing something like: object_type = 'Extended Folder' id = 'foo' title = 'Extended Folder Foo' property1 = value1 property2 = 'value2' .... propertyn = ''' valuen line 1 valuen line 2 ''' then upload it into Zope via FTP. Is this possible? And if so, what methods would I need to implement in my product to make it work and/or where can I find documentation? If it is not currently possible, could this functionality be implemented into Zope? I can think of many other possibilities where it would be really nice such as adding a DTML Method via FTP instead it always being a DTML Document.
