Hello to all.

I just installed Zope / Plone on my shared hosting account, and have a number of questions.

1) Is there a Word like editing interface available for Plone? I would like to avoid putting clients in a position where they have to remember to type "link title":http://www.linkurl.com. Click and pick access to links, images and text formatting would be great.

Either use the epoz editor (heavy javascript, requires a semi-recent browser) or install External Editor (requires the users to install a small helper app, which launches their choice of editor depending on content type). Google will give you plenty about both options. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

2) My hosting situation is this: I have a shared hosting account. I can setup domains within my account as follows:

foo.com -> /home/myAccount/foo

I have installed zope & plone in /home/myAccount/public_html/Zope-2.6.2

With this setup, do I use the one Zope / Plone install to run client foo.com's site and client foobar.com's site and if so how - or do I need separate installations?

The usual way to do this is to use a Virtual Host Monster and an Apache RewriteRule directive (although you could also use Squid or Pound or some such that does the same thing. See the Virtual Hosting chapter of the Zope Book. In this way any folder-like object (like a Plone site) in Zope can be mapped to a domain or subdomain. I don't know exactly how your hosting situation works (there are many bizarre setups out there) so it's hard to say exactly. For instance, I have no idea what the 'foo.com -> /home/myAccount/foo' means and it looks to me like you're serving the Zope code. --jcc -- "Code generators follow the 80/20 rule. They solve most of the problems, but not all of the problems. There are always features and edge cases that will need hand-coding. Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design." (http://www.devx.com/java/editorial/15511)
