Hi, I am developing a Plone site that will have two skins: a visitors skin (http://www.domain.com) and a management skin (https://manage.domain.com). Simple enough in Plone, but I would like to really make the visitors site read-only, and disable the ZMI. What would be a good approach? - is there a way to disable all authentication at the apache site? - is filtering everything with '/manage' an option? - is there another way to disable the ZMI though a site access rule? or should I run a separate zope instance that mounts the same database read-only? (does this work?) but this would disable things like forums... -- __________________________________________________ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen reinoud.v@n.leeuwen.net http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud __________________________________________________

What do you mean by "disable all authentication"?
- is filtering everything with '/manage' an option?
No, plenty of ZMI methods have names other than /manage
- is there another way to disable the ZMI though a site access rule?
No.

You could do that, but you've already pointed out the limitations. It's pretty hard to strip out hte whole ZMI without some serious effort ;-) Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
