RE: [Zope] Turn static HTML dynamic?
I developed an intranet application using Zope that allows member users to "publish" any sort of document to their "department" by uploading it via HTTP. So if your users are comfortable using Word, they can "publish" Word documents to their area, likewise they can publish HTML, etc. They use what they're comfortable with while producing content, and Zope is only the container.. There's also news, and a search function. The app is half-good, half-horrible because it was my first genuine effort at producing anything whatsoever with Zope, so it doesnt make good use of Z Classes in per-department functions. I had hoped to revise it, but other things came up. Please email me if you'd like to see it (I have to find out if there's anything supersensitive on the site now, otherwise I'll give you a username and password). If you like it, I can probably just "clean" it and send you my Data.fs. - C -----Original Message----- From: User Webteam To: zope@zope.org Sent: 10/11/99 8:18 AM Subject: [Zope] Turn static HTML dynamic? Hi! We´re thinking about using Zope for our University website. Now we face following problem: We need a simple solution for people who don´t want to care about DTML to publish their documents using Composer or similar WYSIWYG tools. These documents should be rendered with some standard HTML-code (navigation and the like). Is there any possibility to do this without having to teach everyone <dtml-var> etc.? We tested various things (access rules) but in the best case we end up with nested <html> tags. Unfortunately, we have no python experts here and we´re not learning fast enough to present a solution within time. Some background info: we have to ensure that virtually erveryone here has a simple way to put information on the net. Most of these people have little or no HTML knowledge but use Composer, HotMetal or even word to create their documents. So it seems unacceptable to our bosses to bother anyone with manipulating sources. We would really like to use Zope because of its great management features, user management and expandibility (and its price ;-), so any hints would be highly appreciated.
