Hi Frank, what you like to do is rather easy with zope. There are a couple of ways to do it. You can solve your problem either using CMF or plain zope. The difference is that CMF offers you things like user management, and uploading of "annotated" pdf files out of the box. The listing of files on the server and sending of information you have to do yourself with both approaches. I did something similar (without the sending of weekly emails) just recently. You find it under www.nasuko2001.ch Look at it. If there are parts you could use just tell me.

Hi,

just started using Zope and I am really impressed. But after the docs and tuts I am not sure how I can use it for my problem. I have to build a little app, in which PDFs can be uploaded. For eacht PDF there is some extra info that has to be stored, too. I also need a userlist and once a week an email has to be sent to the list members announcing all new documents. The users should be able to search in the document store using the extra info stored before. So what I need is a little, customized Zope, but without all that extra stuff. Is it possible to create such an app with Zope. Is there a way to edit the stored info in the DB afterwards without writing my own forms.

TIA

Frank
