Newbie: Synchronize document metadata?
Hi, (Please, forgive me if my terminology won't be Zope-correct.) I am trying to build an information system with Zope but at the very begining I've run into the following problem: I have a group of MS Word users that are supposed to publish their work in Zope. They can handle Windows WebFolders (WebDAV), but they cannot and should not be forced to go into Zope management interface to tune the data they entered. I am supposed to create automatic navigation for the documents published this way. (Please, don't suggest emacs :-) I'd like the metadata stored in HTML and in ZODB to stay in sync. I mean <TITLE> in stored in HTML, but also other possible html <HEAD> content to be in sync with ZODB data. I know I could use DTML to display ZODB object title as html title, but this is not enough. 'In-sync' may not be the best word - in fact I would like to have only one instance of the title data :-) Has this problem been already solved? Is there a way to solve it? Thanks, Wojtek Narczynski

Look for the html document product. It will at least solve your problem of the title : on upload/edit, it extracts the title from the html file and uses it as the object title. I guess you could tweak it for additional properties. hth

I've a page parser to extract meta data at http://vsbabu.org/webdev/pydev/page_parse.html you can use this as an external method to parse the page. Then may be call manage_editProperties to put the meta data into properties.
