Feature queries/suggestions
Hello: I've just started playing around with zope. Is is possible to do the following things:- 1. Configure my web server/zope so that zope handles requests for only specific files/under a specific folder etc ? 2. Get Zope to use the OS filesystem instead of it's own (or have some way of auto-syncronization so that I can modify a file in the directory and zope imports it automatically) ? 3. Get Zope to periodically (say once a day) fire a method and build a page but not rebuild it every time it is requested ? Thanks Shalabh
Alright, I figured out that products like Squishdot have the DTML files of their basic structure in the Products sub-directory of the zope folder. Changes made there will appear in NEW instances of these Products. My question, though, is where is the data for EXISTING instances kept, and is it changeable? For example if I create a Squishdot instance called MySquishdot, and at a later time I want to change some of the look and feel of built-in interface elements, where do I look, and can that even be changed? So far, my best guess is that ALL instances and their data are kept in the Data.fs file in the var directory - while a nice central location, it does seem to preclude any direct changes at a later date. So, how the heck do I make such changes, short of making them in the main/original installation, create a new instance of the site I need to have changed, and then export and import all needed data (and how do I do that??). Overall, as some quality feedback, if that is the only way to change existing instances, I'd have to say that this is a MIGHTY cumbersome way of working, because even if you are terribly organized and have everything fleshed out, there will always be changes as you discover new ways of doing things... then how do you upgrade the easiest way?

Just visit the management screen of you squishdot site and change the relevant DTML code. Pavlos
