Re: [Zope] - Web On CD stand alone
I have a number of documents that I plan to convert to HTML and put on CD.. Static docs that don't change much but are searchable. ZOPE might be a good product to ship on CD for WinDoz machines to access documents on the CD with a Browser. ZOPE could allow protection of certain documents to those with THE password. In other words, for example, back issues sold on a per issue basis. The Zope WIN install could be improved so that the ZopeHTTPServer gets installed more automatically and run just by CD insertion. Comments anyone? -bobo connor

Rather than install the Zope server, why not create a special implementation of the IE4 browser with Zope built-in. You could create a multi-threaded app, one thread could run the python interpreter with Zope objects. The other thread could be the gui with the IE4 ActiveX HTML viewer control thrown in. You'll have full control over where the HTML viewer can connect to, and you can start it off by pointing it at some local port that you've chosen for the internal ZopeHTTPServer. This way everything can run off the CD without installing anything, and you won't leave anything lingering on the user's machine.

Another possibility: develop under Zope, then use a spider (like 'wget') to convert the site to static pages; copy to CD and you're done. Win95's "Find Files" would be an iffy substitute for Search. This would be easy, but you couldnt do per-issue password protection like you were asking for. - j

This sound's like a cool idea to me. We would also need to add the read-only database open option that we've been threatening to do for a while. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@digicool.com Technical Director (888) 344-4332 Python Powered!
