While reading chapter 3 of Dieter Maurers "Building Dynamic WebSites with Zope" (a fine piece of work, btw!), I followed the reference to WebDrive (a product mapping anything accessible by ftp or by webdav to drive letters, i.e. into the file system on windows) and gave it a try. ftp works reasonably well with Zope, but I couldn't get the webdav support (i was looking for) to work. It connects successfully. but displays an empty drive, afterwards. I can create documents there (which indeed arrive intact in Zope), but that's it - there is no way to see any of the existing files or folders at all! This behaviour is independent of whether I log in using an id with manager rights or anonymously. In the latter case, I can't create any files, of coures. Before digging deeper into it, I'd like to ask whether any of you has any hints. As it seems, it works for some people. Tres Seaver recommended WebDrive in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zope/message/51235 for example. (I'm using WebDrive 3.0 with a almost fresh Zope 2.3.1b1 installation on win2000, btw.) -- ws

See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zope/message/51900, where he annouces te availabilty of a pre alpha version of chapter 3. Appearently, chapter 1 and 2 are publically available, too. Chap3 is interesting because it addresses exactly those details and questions which are neither sufficiently covered (and often not even mentioned) in the official documentation, and because it stays away from giving howto-style recipes, but concentrates on discussing and explaining the architecture in technical terms, without escaping into nebulous language. IMHO, it needs some further work, and might suffers from some guesswork about design decisions in Zope (which are, alas, necessary), but even in its current state it might shorten the learning period significantly, for anybody intending to do some programming work in Zope. -- ws
