- Zope, Win95, File Output
Hi, I recently found Zope, and it looks very very useful. I have a few quick questions though.. I maintain a few different websites through work for various companies. Each of these sites have a few things that are very database oriented, though are updated about twice per month. Zope looks absolutely perfect for the design of it, though we have the problem of the ISP we are running the pages on probably wouldn't install Zope, and it's unfeasable to switch. My question boils down to this: Is there an easy way (accessing in python or whichever) to use Zope to generate the output HTML files instead of only through the webserver? We also use Frontpage 98 to do most of the editing, and if Zope can be accessed easily enough to do this I'll be itching to design FrontPage Components to make use of it. Thanks much!, Fabian

Well, the easiest way(from a newbie's point of view) is sucking out every HTML files from the your local Zope (webserver) site and publish them up to ISP's. There are many utilities for that work. I have not tried websucker.py(right?) from the standard Python distribution, but it might work, I guess. If you need a surely working solution, why not try Namo sitemanager included in Namo web editor. BTW, Namo means 'tree' in ancient Korean. *** I am contemplating translating Zope into Asian languages. First into Korean, then into Japanese and lastly into Mainland Chinese and Taiwan Chinese. It is just *contemplating* because I am supposed to be very^100 busy finishing my dissertation for the coming monthes. For a newbie( not only to Zope & Python but also to programing in general), this is quite ambitious. Any comments or caveats? Or is this sort of topic not suitable discussed here? Kwan-Soo. ps. As you might have seen, my English is clumsy. Hence please forgive me any strange expressions or language errors.

I am looking for the opposite: does anybody know of a simple way to have Zope suck up an existing site? I am importing one of our websites by hand but it is a big pain in the ... An extra problem is we make have use of Apache SSI.(SSI2DTML anybody????)
We also use Frontpage 98 to do most of the editing, and if Zope can be accessed easily enough to do this I'll be itching to design FrontPage Components to make use of it. FP is bad, it creates huge html files (mainly because 'web-designers' like to play with fonts) and uses all kinds of 'webbots' being proprietary extensions only available in binaries. I personaly would love a FP-clean.py script. -- <- Ronald Offerman | ron@gjt-it.nl <- Root Powered Carrot Munchers Ltd. Inc. SA AG BV
