ANNOUNCE: FAQ Tool sample Zope app.
Hi Everyone: As part of writing an article on Zope for WebReview, I've put together an example FAQ Tool for Zope. If you've seen Guido's FAQ Wizard then you know what the FAQ Tool is about. http://www.zope.org/WebReview You can try out the FAQ Tool online, and download it. (Note: the example FAQ is not a real FAQ, please don't enter useful information into it. Hopefully, we'll get a real Zope FAQ online soon.) One of the interesting things about this example is that it was built with the 'Lever' by creating a Product in the Control Panel and working from there. This is the first time that I've used the Lever and I have to say I like it. I think that this is the future of Zope Product authoring. The Lever basically allows you to create a Zope Product through the web without any programming. And as a special bonus, the Lever *is* documented in the Zope Manager's Guide. In fact, that's how I learned how to use it ;-) I think that the Lever will be even cooler when Zope Classes are out, since then you will be able to make changes to your Product in the Control Panel, and all your instances will be updated. Anyway enjoy, and send me your feedback. -Amos P.S. You may notice that the FAQ Tool is not searchable. When Zope gets searchability, then so will the FAQ Tool. I probably won't get around to adding searching to the FAQ Tool before that. However, the basic search indexing libraries are there in 1.10.2, and I do accept patches for those of you who can't wait ;-)

Am I the only one having problems viewing or downloading the faq product? When I click Try, IE 4 (no flames please) gives me an error, so I think use_chunked = 0 is needed in your ZServer's http_server.py file. When I download the faq product, I get a 3266 byte file that has product.dat, version.txt and __init__.py, that's it! Any ideas?

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it.

Correct. This is what's supposed to be there. Does the FAQ Tool not work when you install it? Are you using Zope 1.10.2? -Amos

My Zope Zen seem to have gone negative (started at zero - and just got worse :( ) but HOW do you install it. I could find no mention of any "lever"s in the ZMG.pdf, and I have tried as many ways as I could think of to get my Zope (1.10.2 on ZAP) to read/import the FAQ product, but no cigar - not even close! Where does one put which files, and what procedure does one go through to invoke said "Lever" functionality. Sorry about this, but surely I can't be the *only* one that is totally lost. (Come to think of it, maybe I can!) -Hoping-for-a-positive-Zope-Zen-before-the-millenium-ly yours: (I just love those signoff thingies - one day I'll even think of a good one myself!) - gary

I assume this means Zope will also appear in the Application Server list of WebReview? (http://appservers.webreview.com). -- M.J.
