I put one together several months ago where I was working at the time. It works on a MySQL backend with lots of small tables, and I probably would redo some or all of the tables in TinyTables or ZClass objects if I were to do it all over again. It was hopefully replacing a FilemakerPro product we developed in-house, but the convenience of updating the Filemaker tables proved too big a hurdle to duplicate within Zope in a short time. Perhaps a bit of explanation will help to understand the product. A group of graduate assistants makes up the housecalls team for a college. People in the college login to a URL and identify themselves and the problem they are having with their computer. The members of the housecalls team individually or in teams assign themselves to fix the problem (this makes it a 'working' housecall). Then once the problem is fixed (this may take several trips), the technicians close the ticket. Anyway, my product did some things the other didn't and had IMHO better presentation. It is still running in experimental mode, if anyone would like to look. I could probably package the code as a ZClasses Product, though it was my first major look at Zope, and I would have done quite a few things differently now. The URL is http://psyche.ed.vt.edu/Zope/housecalls. If you choose to add a housecall, use the userid jburton. Let me know if there is any interest in an export of the source and a tables/fields listing. Warning about that, though: the code all uses <!--#var blah--> syntax, and is not too pleasant to the eye... -- Jim Washington Timothy Wilson wrote:

Hi everyone,

Has anyone developed a Zope product designed to help a technical support dept. track repair requests, status, etc.?
