Hi, I ran into that kind of problem where I wanted my users to be able to edit files. A simple solution (could get dangerous if you dont set it up properly) is to have two external methods that read and write to a given file in the file system and then provide a textarea based interface for editing it and saving it. But please be warned, be "EXTREMELY" careful as to how you deal with which folder you give access to these methods to. The way I do it is preset the folder to and from which these methods read and write data and only pass the relative path as an argument. Also these folders in the file systems should have the appropriate access rights for zope to be able to read and write to. I am sure some other zopistas will be able to provide a neater solution, but this works for me and is quick and easy to implement. HTH AM Alec Munro wrote:

Hi all, I want to provide a web based interface to editing stylesheets. I want these stylesheets to be contained within Zope. Is there something like Python's open() function that I can use? Thanks,
