I'm considering managing a site, currently 23K files and 1K directories, with Zope. I've perused various Zope resources, among them the Zope Book and sundry How-Tos, but have yet to find clear answers to a couple of salient questions. My hope is that I can get some good answers, or at least some good leads to good answers, by writing to this list. The first and most pressing question: suppose I implement the site using Zope, particularly page templates and DTML. Supposing I need to retreat, then, how can I return to my directory-and-file based site? That is, Zope stores the site as objects in a database; how can I write those objects back to files and directories? Is there an established mechanism for this? Granted, I can whip up some scripts to replace, e.g., <dtml-var standard_html_header> with the standard header, in all files, but.... I'm asking if there is some way to use Zope or a utility to write out the entire site _as it would be served to a visitor_, that is, with all DTML and page template logic replaced. The second, less pressing but still vital question: how can Zope be used in such a way as to preserve the existing URL targets? That is, suppose the current URI is http://www.somesite.com/Documents/reflist/pubCategs/Categories.html, and that URI has been bookmarked by visitors: how, other than a redirection, can that URI be preserved in zope-logic? many thanks, Eric -- James Eric Lawson Research Publications Editor National Simulation Resource eric@bioeng.washington.edu - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent. -- Wittgenstein
