Publish static html out of local zope
Hi I'm new to zope - meaning, I can make folders, users, temaplates and worked myself through about 80 pages of the manual - and I have the following basic question. I have zope running on a local machine and don't have the resources to set up an online web-server with zope. I have some web-pages for my students that change kind of daily. They send their results as jpegs - thumbnails and bigger ones - and I show a page with a weekly overview - thumbnails in a table with their names and links to their mailto's - and when you click on the thumbnails, you get a new html-page with the real things. Well so far I do this by hand. I would like to throw the new jpegs in the weekly folder, zope looks up who is there and generates the new overview and the html-pages with the real things - and then I want to have a button to upload the parsed static html-pages to the online site. Is that possible? Where is a botton like that? What are the keywords I have to look for in the manual (I didn't find anything alike!)? Has anybody done something like that? What do I have forgotten to ask? Thanks a lot Uwe

There's certainly no button in standard Zope to do static mirroring of the site. What most people have recommended in the past is using wget (a web-mirroring program) to make a copy of the site and store it in static files. The howto posted at http://www.zope.org/Members/hdw/Tip/wget/ appears to be accurate, but I've not tested it myself. A google search for 'Zope static copy' had http://vsbabu.org/techbits/zope4static2.html toward the top of the list, though it appears quite a bit more common than the wget method above. The author claims that wget wouldn't do some needed things, but doesn't give details on what those things are. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- renfro@tntech.edu
