Is there a WYSIWYG html/text editor which can be plugged into Zope? Structured text is better than nothing, but most all commercial "big boys" in CMS products provide WYSIWYG functioinality for the non-technical types to create and maintain pages and content. I don't see anything like this for Zope yet.

It's called IEMethod. I fear that it is difficult to find on zope.org, but use a bit of google and note that the author is called johanc.

IEMethod is not supported or developed on in anyway. Not by m anyway ;-) But there are several clones of my initial work out there so google on zope and wysiwyg would result in some hits. Of course we have a Wysiwyg-editor Easy Publisher, but it is a whole CMS with its own template system, not a generic WYSIWYG-editor. Download a free personal (v .1.6) copy from: http://www.easypublisher.com or ask me for an eval (v.1.7) For more generic work the content editable feature of Internet Explorer is quite easy to use. And it shouldn't be hard to add some kind of generic editor to a Zope-site (you would lack proper linking and image dialogs and table support) but for editing simple texts it would work fine. You should also have a look at http://xopus.org/ who is developing a (open source) version of the IE content editable feature. They also have a commercial editor, which I doubt works with Zope ;-) xopus.org's content editable patch has allot of features missing, but is a rather elegant example how well adaptable Mozilla is. (Compared to the monstrous IE) The Mozilla-team has a native content editable feature in the bugzila but I'm not sure when it's accually going to be implemented.

You can either use WebDAV enabled editors (Go-Live or Dreamweaver both support WebDAV), or use the ExternalEditor product to open objects for editing in a WYSIWYG editor.

What happens when usings webDAV to edit structured documents? Do you get the unrendered doc, or the full html? I tried using the mickeysoft web folder and I got the rendered version -- so is there a way to get the plain form?

You can configure a "source port" where content won't get rendered. To quote z2.py: """ -W port The "WebDAV source" port. If this is a dash (e.g. -w -), then "WebDAV source" is disabled. The default is disabled. Note that this feature is a workaround for the lack of "source-link" support in standard WebDAV clients. """

Also, since I would rather use linux, I was hoping there was cadaver attachments to the kde file manager or emacs. Current search yield nothing on the first, and 'not yet' on the second.

There used to be davfs (a mountable WebDAV filesystem) but somehow I can't find it at the moment. Before External Editor I used the EFS package for XEmacs and it worked quite well; now I just use External Editor with XEmacs in gnuserv mode which just rocks -- the perfect combination of creating & configuring with the ZMI and editing (with XEmacs / gnuclient). have fun, peter.
