While it is indeed a better idea to have users edit content and not markup, if you do insist on it you will have a much easier time with Page Templates. Page Templates were designed (among other reasons) to deal with the very problem you describe below: many (most?) HTML editors have issues with the dtml tags, since, in general, they think they know better than the source they are given. That's generally not a problem with attributes to standard tags (as in PTs) since most editors will realize that there can exist attributes they will know nothing about. Another neat thing about PTs is that so long as the macro attibutes remain in place, you can present whole-seeming pages to your users, and they can change the page at will without damage to the surrounding structure of your finally-rendered page. With DTML, you're often working with HTML fragments. If you're worried about difficulty, don't be. Page Templates can look a little intimidating at first (there are a bunch of seemingly-cryptic characters), but it isn't bad at all. I did DTML for a long time, but since I switched to Page Templates, I can barely think in DTML at all. As for editing, especially with PTs, you can also, say, mount Zope as a WebDAV "drive" and use whatever editor you want. Some can do WebDAV themselves (Macromedia?). The ExternalEditor product is also something to look at (even if just for administrative use.) I'd really like to see some sort of Zope tool that uses the Mozilla editor widget in-place (it might indeed exist somewhere), perhaps as part of a larger management suite. But that's a whole different kettle of fish. --jcc -----Original Message----- From: "Javier de la Torre" <javi@reggae-news.net> To: <zope@zope.org> Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 15:25:34 +0100 Subject: [Zope] WYSIWYG Editor for Zope. Hi. I'm new in this list and this is my first message to the community :) Well, here come my question. I've been searching around for a Wysiwyg editor that i could include to edit the content of my DTML documents. I founded some web pages (here is a list of possibilities) explaining how to integrate an IE Editor inside Zope but after the instalation of it (the one from vsbabu.org exactly because it also has the posibilities to include images and links from the server) i founded a very anoying problem. When you edit a document with this Microsoft Editing control it removes my <dtml-var standard_html_header> and starts writing after my <dtml-var standard_html_footer>. So it brokes the structure of my page. My final idea is... i've got a web page managed by non technical users. In every web page there's a link to an administration page where they will have this visual control to edit the contents of this specific page. This will make everything very easy. I can't understand why this kind of tool is not more developed for Zope when probably it will make the editing of documents no so awful for non technical persons. Thanks in advance.
