Hey Zopists: As the start of a more general "Collaborative Work" functionality, I need to throw a quick file exchange area up onto a Zope site. The download part is dead easy (just steal the 5 lines from www.zope.org/Download/Contrib !), but the generic upload is a tiny bit more difficult. I realize all I need is an appropriate front-end form to manage_addFile - I'm just hoping someone has a DTML snippet I can have, to deal with things like: generate a default ID, set the title to the filename uploaded, deal with name collisions (offer to replace, or rename), anything else I haven't thought of yet... The larger project would end up recreating much of the management functionality of Zope. The problem is the need for a scaleable interface: The full blown Zope management interface is a wonderfully rich tool, and as developers, we keep wanting to add more features, but it's overwhelming for those who need only a limited subset of that functionality. Hmm, this sounds a bit like the "Content Managers/Editors" thread. I see that as one example, the most extreme case of limited functionality. This (file exchange) is another. As a second issue, as far as I can tell, permissions are granted based on Roles. Is it possible to set permissions based on individual Users? One method I could see is creating an individual Role for each user, but that could get unwieldy in the management screens. Ross -- Ross J.
