web folders - advice requested...
============================================================== I had no responses to this before, here is my question again: ============================================================== I want to implement a "web folders" style interface. For examples see: www.yahoo.com, www.netscape.com, http://directory.google.com/ I think http://directory.google.com/ is the best example, but anyway... I'd like to be able to edit the entries with a web browser, and be able to attach files to the tree - like PDF docs, and jpg/gif/png pictures. I'm guessing I could do it with MySQL... what does everyone think? Is there a Zope plugin that already does this. Does someone have some code laying around you could send me? Im basically looking for a good place to focus my efforts on, for now. Thanks! email me at KevinMeinert@bigfoot.com Kevin

Editing entires with your browser is a freebie with zope, and attaching files shouldn't be a problem either.

It's hierarchical data, so the ZODB is better than MySQL.

Um... you don't really need a "plugin" to do it in zope. Just a little DTML work with dtml-in. The main hassle would be getting it laid out in the same format, but it's doable. Look at the DTML guide and the Zope Quick Reference for more information about dtml-in.
