From a Folder to a Product
Hi! I'm pretty satisfied with a group of reports I have done in Zope, and want to put a copy of it in every customer's folder I have in the Zope Server. Are there a document/tutorial I can use as a guide or tutorial to do this? If someone wants to point some general guidelines, the folder contains only the dtml docs/methods and SQL connection/SQL Queries used to do the report, and the only thing that changes from one to another customer is the SQL connection (every different customer have his own database). Even the security properties are the same. It can be draft as bellow: / +-- Report +----- SQL Connection (PostgreSQL) +----- SQL queries +----- Reports based on the SQL queries +----- Forms that are used to chose parameters and call the Reports +----- index_html, standart_error, standart_html_header/footer TIA -- César A.

If you put everthing at the top level except the DB connection, and put the appropriate one of those in each user's folder, I should think they could access the report via acquisition. --RDM

You mean, put all sql-queries, dtml-docs and dtml-methods spread in the root folder of the zope? I'm trying to maintain the root uncluttered ("every thing in it's place, every place with it's thing"), and I'm thinking this will do the oposite, but you give me an idea: / + reports + files (sql queries, reports/forms, and default sql-conn) + customer1 | + sql connection (only) + customer2 | + sql connection (only) (...) Have anyone a better one idea/suggestion? Of course, making things like that, I lose versioning (I think), but I think I can survive without it... []s -- César A. K.

Or you could use the Transparent Folders product if you don't want to have an extra 'reports' folder.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I don't think you'd loose versioning. --RDM
