In an attempt to get the Zope message across ASAP, I am Zopefying our new corporate website (which is going online this week pending approval) and I found a few real needs ;=) Need 1: Importing (websucking?) existing sites into Zope. Importing hundreds of files by hand is NO fun ;-( (uploading pages using Composer doesn't seem to work for me, Linux/Apache 1.3.3/Zope). Need 2: Search and REPLACE. Having imported an existing site, I want to replace a lot of the HTML with DTML. (our corporate site has at least 4 references for each of the twenty companies scattered through 200+ HTML pages). A nice (java) editor would also be nice 8=)) -- <- Ronald Offerman | ron@gjt-it.nl <- Root Powered Carrot Munchers Ltd. Inc. SA AG BV "Daddy, why do those people have to use Microsoft Windows?"

Indeed so... I work with people who don't know (and don't *want* to know) HTML, and I would like for them to be able to edit the contents of certain pages without *having* to know HTML... One thought I have had, but have not yet realized is creating a simple component (like a HTML form text field) based on JFC (Java Foundation Classes) with a few simple additions, like italic, bold, headlines and lists. It would basically be a simple applet with a TextArea and a button bar at the top, with some JavaScript, enabling it to be used in an HTML form... Anybody interested in cooperating on (or simply *doing*) this? Could it perhaps be interesting as a default option in Zope, in addition to the simple plain-text editor that already exists? -- Magnus Lie Hetland www.pvv.org/arcadia <arcadia@pvv.org>

One day I'll rember to read an entire thread before replying. I can lend a hand if some one can layout a basic skeleton. The two things I want to see in such an animal is indenting, and color syntext highlighting. --------------------------------------------------- - Scott Robertson Phone: 714.972.2299 - - CodeIt Computing Fax: 714.972.2399 - - http://codeit.com - ---------------------------------------------------

I think that once the Medusa/Zope/FTP stuff has solidified you will be able to use (X)Emacs+efs+macros to easily riffle through a tree of freshly web-sucked DTML files (documents?) and make boilerplate changes to the content.

I made that comment earlier. I only have a limited knowledge of java but it seems to me that it wouldn't be to difficult to take an application like jEdit and turn it into an applet and then replace the text widget on the document edit page. Am I wrong in this? Anyone interested in taking a stab at this, I could lend some help or even attempt it in a few months when I have some extra time. --------------------------------------------------- - Scott Robertson Phone: 714.972.2299 - - CodeIt Computing Fax: 714.972.2399 - - http://codeit.com - ---------------------------------------------------
