maybe you should get a good book on python programming and then take a look at how other objects implement cataloging. a good start might be CatalogAware.py in zope. jens On Monday, November 12, 2001, at 08:40 , Singh, Kamal Deep wrote:

thanks for response

Well unfortunately I am no zope or python expert. I come from c++ , java environment. Do u have any idea about how much work it is supposed to be, to extend LocalFS product. The actual problem is that I am currently in the process if using zope in our companies intranet. Right now the intranet has 5 GB of data and it's not possible for me to put all those file's one by one inside ZOPe, that's why i cam up with the idea of using LOCALFS. What do you think, is it possible to use ZOPE and LOCALFS in this environment?.

any help is appreciable.

this can only be done by extending the LocalFS product and the objects it creates to represent the files on the file system.

Hi,

I am trying to use zope along with LocalFS product to access the files from local file system. My current need is to provide site search functionality. It seems ZCatalog and other search utilities provided inside zope doesn't work for LocalFS. Does anybody has a idea howto provide Site-Search functionality for the files from file system.

thanks in anticipation kamal deep singh
