hello zopisti,

we are on our way to replace our static webpages with zope-driven web-application. As long as you use standard features zope is - in my opinion - self-explainatory, but... we ran into several problems, respectively questions:

a) upload of pictures/documents (pdf,ps, etc.)? is there an easy-to-use solution out there which one can use? what we want is a way to allow end-users to upload various files into zope or an ftp-account which then are provided to anonymous users for downloading. Well, I've done this as an demonstration for a customer. If you are interested, I might give you private access to this folder. Basically, this is trivial in ZOPE :)

b) Folder parameters!!!!!! how can I change these parameters with DTML? I declared a parameter "sprache" which holds "de" as default at the root-level. When a user wants to read the content in english (sic!) the parameter should be set to "en" (I use the parameter in ZSQL statements - it works well). I tried to set the parameter with <!--#call "manage_changeProperties(sprache='en' )"--> Well, the problem here is, that this would change the property for ALL users. What you probably want is setting a cookie, which would tell your pages for future requests which language to use.
