Win2k Pro SP4, Zope 2.7.0, WebDAV, web folders, and local tools
zope@zope.org: I am evaluating Zope for building collaborative web sites. My background is HTML, CGI, and Linux-Apache-MySQL-Perl (LAMP), mostly using ssh/vi. I have downloaded and installed Zope-2.7.0-win32.exe on Win2k Pro SP4, gone through the Zope tutorial, and am now trying to figure out how to edit Zope source documents using WebDAV via Windows web folders. I have successfully created a web folder for http://localhost:8080/ using Windows Explorer and can browse around my Zope instance. Mozilla 1.6 is configured as my default browser and HTML editor. If I double-click on a page template, the rendered page opens in the Mozilla HTML editor. I can make changes. I can also carry out a save operation, and it appears to work. However, when I look at the same object using ZMI, my edits are not there. If I close Mozilla and double-click on the template again, Windows Explorer complains that the file does not exist. If I open a template by Send To -> Microsoft Word, it also opens the rendered page. Word adds a whole bunch of XML stuff at the top. Saves do get posted to the Zope instance, but because Word opened the rendered page this only serves to destroy functionality. If I attempt to open a Python script by Send To -> Notepad, nothing happens. This also seems to break Mozilla's ability to open a template until I open a template using Word. I would like to be able to create/edit/move/delete Zope objects using local text editors, WYSIWYG editors, and/or command-line utilities. WebDAV sounds like a nice idea, but I can't get it to work. I tried creating a web folders for http://localhost:8021/ and http://localhost:9800/, but this just hangs Windows Explorer. WS_FTP works fine connecting to localhost port 8021. In my RTFM and STFW efforts, I did see statements about WebDAV being broken on Windows. I was just wondering if this has been fixed and/or somebody knows of a work-around. Any comments or suggestions? TIA, David
I don't know how to use webdav to edit Zope, but.... Have you seen the ExternalEditor product? I suspect that this is what you really want anyway! Jerry On Thu, 2004-04-15 at 09:55, dpchrist@holgerdanske.com wrote:
