I can have them upload a DTMLDocument as a Zope object (using a form and DTML method, but cannot overwrite an already existing object of same name and don't know how to access the object to edit it as needed

Get the object and then edit it using the manage_edit function of a DTMLDocument -- Andy McKay @gmweb Consulting http://www.agmweb.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Germaine" <tgermaine@Upei.CA> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 7:16 AM Subject: [Zope] uploading, overwriting, and editing file (DTML Document)

Good-day All:

I would like to delegate certain users rights to upload an html file (to become a DTML Document), overwriting an existing file of same name and then run a script to edit the file, substituting dtml tags for lines at beginning and end of file. I am confused as to the best way to go about it.

I can have them upload a DTMLDocument as a Zope object (using a form and DTML method, but cannot overwrite an already existing object of same name and don't know how to access the object to edit it as needed. My guess is that I should write an external script to do the editing, but am unsure of whether or not to upload to local file system instead of Zope object and how to access file system files as DTML Documents.

I have reviewed the FAQ on product LocalFS, but am unsure if I need it, or if displaying DTML Documents stored in file system is the way to go.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Tom
