Searching For MacOS X Version of Zope.
I am interested in installing Zope and testing it on my home Mac. I am running MacOS X 10.2.3. I currently use Postnuke http://www.postnuke.com as my CMS. Can you please explain the difference between the two? Any information is helpful. Thank you.

Can't tell you much about Postnuke, but a good place to find info on running Zope on OS X is: http://zope-mosx.zopeonarope.com/ HTH, Dylan At 11:40 AM 1/16/2003, you wrote:

I found my Zope binary for OSX that rocks (2.5.x) on versiontracker! http://www.versiontracker.com With that you don't need to get the right python version etc. to be able to run zope - it simply works on jaguar. Zope is much more than at least "Nuke" I know - for your purpose it may be similar, but zope is more like a development environment - or IDE with respect to web application. It can also generate your python code products. Really a bit much for a beginner, but with lots of room for expansions ... So maybe if you just wanna Nuke now - then Nuke now. If you wanna expand and learn and do more fancy stuff - then ZOPE on! Raphael On Thursday 16 January 2003 20:40, Kevin Gomez wrote:

I'm running Zope 2.5.1 and 2.6.0 on Mac OSX without (almost - see below) any problems. Beside the hint to http://zope-mosx.zopeonarope.com, it might the useful for you to check out the installer offered on http://plone.org (In my case it didn't start from the OSX control interface properly, that comes with it, so I start it manually from the always-beloved terminal, but everything else works fine.)

The main difference - IMHO and beside the things that where mentioned before - is the structure of the both: while Postnuke (AFAIR) is based on PHP and a relational database management system using SQL, Zope comes with an object-oriented database (ZODB) and its own web-, ftp- and webDAV-servers. It is written in Python, an easy-to-learn object-oriented language, and itself object-oriented. This gives you some nice features, like inheritance, and the possibility to construct new kinds of "objects" (resp. "classes", the "templates" for your objects) in an easy way. So, everything you need for a web portal is already on hand, especially tools for the membership maintainance: I suggest trying Plone (or CMF = Content management framework), to see, how easy it can be :-) If you need relational database features, it is no problem to put almost any SQL-DB "behind" Zope: Adapters for almost all relevant RDBMS are there. And Zope's page template language helps you to not mix-up content and presentation, one of the "traps" in PHP ... So, I hope this may help you in your decision, if not: "Move over to Zope! Now!" :-) Bernd PS: ... and: Zope has a really very, great community of developers and users.
