Hey Zope People! My name is Ricardo and I'm a newbie in Zope. In my first work with it I need to do a guest control system. I need to fill a form with some personal information about the person and I need to get a picture from him using a webcam connected to the PC. How can I do it??? I have been looking for some kind of solution but I did not found anything, could anyone help me??? I really need a hand with that.

It depends on how the webcam works. I see two obvious avenues: - if it makes its image available at some internet address (like localhost!) you can write a Zope script to fetch that image and store it in the proper place in the ZODB. - if it makes its image available on your hard-drive somehow, get it there, and use a web form to upload that image just like you would any other. Both of these approaches are really standard fare. You may have to do a little bit of thinking about where and when these operations occur with regard to your "personal information transaction", but it's not a hard problem. Note that I have no idea how any actual web-cams work, much less yours, but I think they should do at least one of the above unless they're really proprietary (read: broken by design.) --jcc
