RE: Use Homesite (was RE: [Zope] Great html-applet ( commercial ) ...)
HomeSite 4.5.2 == ColdFusion Studio 4.5.2 They are the same product but the Studio has all the Tags built-in for CFML. I installed the Studio once and then wondered why as the two looked exactly the same. How did you get the DTML tag completion? Have not tried that yet but would be nice. Maybe we could trade custom toolbars?

I use ColdFusion Studio 4.5.2 1. All the undo and redos I could ever want 2. Color-coded code (dtml, comments, html, javascript, css, etc..) 3. Multiple objects open in their own window 4. Search and replace on one or ALL windows open 5. Code completion (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and DTML !!) 6. Hot buttons to insert dtml tags (I hate writing <dtml-comment></dtml-comment> the other ones aren't so bad) 7. Instant FTP access to Zope. (I just got that working this week! I open an object, modify it, and hit CTRL-S to save - which automatically FTP's the object back to Zope!) Complete paradise! Tommy Innovation: The Best Way To Predict The Future ... Is To Create It.

Try HomeSite! Works great, easy to use and customize, save and drop in hunks of repeatable code (snippets), create your own Zope toolbars of often-used tags, etc, etc....
And the best thing?!?! Unlimited UNDO and REDO! Open a file, make a change, hit F12 for a browse-view in the same window for a look. If its not right, or breaks something just hit F12 to go back to edit and CNTL-Z (undo) back to previous and save it. Saves a lot of time and offers a nice security blanket when editing live, production stuff.
And the other best thing?!?! Multiple editing windows open at a time and search-and-replace on them all. AND print out your code! I like seeing my code on paper.
Built in help, wizards for most everything, CSS editor, html-tag popup helpers, etc,...
Some things I have found: Works on all DTML docs and methods and ZSQL methods. Some things don't open. Easy to rename files. Not so easy to create new files (that I have found). Just keep a ZMI window open for regular management stuff.
Gives new life to working with Zope files, if on the Windows platform.
Just my $.02

wysiwyg-html editor applet, which was distributed in BSD-licence. Anyone interested to join in this?
Anyone interested about this how-to?
I'd be really interested! What we really need is some kind of wysiwyg tool to edit content in zope instead of the *non wrapping* text areas provided by zope. Why those are non-wrap-able? I have no idea, and for sure it's a problem (btw, if it's hotfix-able, Id' like to know how to do this). I see no way to add simple formatting to a browser based text area. So the only way is for now : ftp, java applets, or IE5+ html edit component.

How did you get the DTML tag completion? Have not tried that yet but would be nice.
Real simple. On the menu bar, go to Options --> Settings (or just hit F8). In the box that pops up, click on Tag Completion. Click the ADD... button. You'll get a small Tag Completion Entry box. If you want tag completion for <dtml-comment>, type in dtml-comment (it would allow you to put the <> in, so don't worry about it). Then hit OK. It will add it to the list. You can do that for all tags (dtml, cfml, HTML, whatever) The default list is already quite extensive. Once you're done and exit out of Settings, it will work. And it will automatically alphabetize your tag completion list next time you go back to it in Settings.
Maybe we could trade custom toolbars?
Do you have the Zope tags and Zope Utilities toolbars? Those are the only ones I know of, at least the only ones I've downloaded so far. I believe I still have that zip file if your interested. Tommy Innovation: The Best Way To Predict The Future ... Is To Create It.
