For the future (DTML or Page Templates?)
Hello, in the past (back in the 2.1.0 days, I became (sort of) proficient with DTML--those were the days in which I became hooked with Zope. In the last year (or maybe a bit more than that) I had to give up Zope to pursue something completely different. Now I have returned and found Page Templates :) I'm in the technical director of a new project that we'll start soon, and I have conviced the people here to go the Zope way. So, I have to ask, is DTML being phased out or is it still going strong? Best regards, -- carlos carnero | carnero@icrt.cu | sysadmin/BOFH <django23> I have a stupid question: what does "sendmail" do? <Epesh> django: you're right, that is pretty stupid
still going strong:) there was a thread about this recently (you might check the archives) and the conclusion was basically IMO that DTML is faster than ZPT but that ZPT is more elegant and less problematic, especially when you use it in conjunction with Python Scripts. also the consensus seems to be that DTML is never going to go away. Of course which one you use depends on your needs, eg if you have a designer working with you on this who knows nothing of zope or programming or who is using Dreameaver or some other WYSIWYG editor, it might be more productive to use ZPT. <--> george donnelly - http://zettai.net/ - "We Love Newbies" :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion
