Has anyone at Digital Creations yet taken a look at Beehive's MetaPublisher ? I think that is the way to go for the short term (Studio being long term) ! Nice looking browser interface, combining data and databases, wizards, etc.
before people get confused when gijs is referring to "databases" in the above statement he`s referring to a MetaPublisher version which he and a few other brave members of the MetaPublisher mailinglist are currently testing. this version gives users a choice whether to store data in the ZODB or in an external relational DB. this version will come with a few other goodies --- but we prefer to keep some things a surprise. regards, mark -------------------------------------------------------------- mark pratt (managing director) mark@beehive.de beehive elektronische medien GmbH http://www.beehive.de phone: +49 30 847-82 0 fax: +49 30 847-82 299

might i hope that one of these goodies will be an improvement in the way metapublisher interacts with zcatalogs? see my post in june to the mp list below: i have several MP instances in subfolders and need to present the most recent mp entries from any/all of the these MP instances on my index_html page in the zope root. when i add a Z search interface in the zope root it only offers me the Catalog in the zope root as a searchable object and does not seem to be aware of any mp_catalog's. alternatively i could find all meta entry's to the Catalog in the zope root but the meta entry meta type does not show up in the selection list. how could i find the meta entrys without finding all objects? can anybody recommend an expression? i tried something like meta type==meta entry but this was a no go -- it returned ALL objects the only way i could do it is by adding each individual mp entry's id into the find to catalog mechanism. for a site with any traffic this could be a major bummer! then the next problem was that when i used the getpath directive to get a url for the records returned by the Catalog i got a url like this mpfolder/mp_entries/9995757.435 which plays all kinds of havoc with my carefully crafted directory structure ;-| Regards, GEORGE DONNELLY george@cyklotron.com http://cyklotron.com/ Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.
