displaying same content in two different web sites
Hello, I am new to Zope, but I have a problem I think using it will solve. However, before I delve into my new "Zope Bible" book, can someone please confirm that using Zope will help solve the following issue: a client of mine is a large international compnay (our first). We are building their "main" corporate website now. They have just informed us that they also want a "regional" site for Asia (but it will be in english). The regional site will have it own region specific content, but it will also have some of the same content as the main site. Although we will design the main and regional sites so that you can tell they are the same company, they will each have a distinct look and feel. The way i see it, we can manage this 2 ways: 1. Manually "cut" the content from the "main" site and paste it to the "regional" site. Then if the content changes on the main site, we have to remember to re-paste the content to the regional site. 2. somehow reference the same content from both the "main" site, and the "regional" site. Then if the content is changed, it is automatically updated at both the regional and main sites. Any and all comments are appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com
Rusty, We are currently doing something similar using the CMF and unique portal skins. We have all of the site content stored in common folders and display different portions of it depending upon the skin that the user chooses. If you don't want to use the CMF, you could still accomplish the same thing by directly users to another folder for the Asian version of the code (<hostname>/asia, for example) which could reference the same content. Hope that helps, Kevin -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Rusty Wilson Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 2:42 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] displaying same content in two different web sites Hello, I am new to Zope, but I have a problem I think using it will solve.

If your sites are mainly static, then another tool might be a better fit. See, e.g. "sitecopy" (Google for it). If you use Zope, you can use "ZSyncer" to distribute modifications to various target systems. If the Web servers for your sites are on the same LAN, you can use ZEO and let all sites use (part of) the same objects. Dieter
