Hi everyone, Two part question: 1) Is there any way to FTP a large batch of images up at a time (with the default being the file name as when you import only one image and use that default) 2) Has anyone else gotten extremely frustrated when non-Zope people give you html files (written in Frontpage and other WYSIWYG editors) that produce godawful code that usually needs total rehash. Perhaps, this is not directly related to Zope, but I find that the downtime I spend fixing other people's code before I can get back to fun stuff (ie Zope) is quite a lot. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA, Tom

Tell me if you want a copy of it. The more elegant solution would of course be to separate presentation from content, and only let the WYSIWYG-people edit plain text.. (structured text could be a nice tool for this purpose) -- Geir B Hansen web-developer/designer geirh@funcom.com http://www.funcom.com
this is getting a little off-topic, but i'm sure some zope developers deal with this problem. Geir B Hansen wrote:

the problem with this solution is that the contributors, (in worst case) lack html-knowledge but want to be able to do some freedom in formatting like underline, bold, lists... i'm currently working on a solution to combine the two: use a inline html editor in a form-template to let the people enter the data. i've just have seen this done in spectra by allaire. it's very easy to do it in explorer, some javascript will turn it into a editor. but for netscape it will need an applet, no hard thing with swing classes ... but i'm still covering my options, so i'd appreciate any input... kind regards gidon friedman

You'll find it among the products on Zope.org.. -- Geir B Hansen web-developer/designer geirh@funcom.com http://www.funcom.com
