[Zope] Some newbie questions

[chas]

alternatively ultraedit - ftp support is good and it's still

my favourite python editor - lightweight, handles double-byte well,

easily customised, and very easy.

just remember to ftp in on the right port 8021 and using manager or

a user with sufficient privileges

I've been following Zope for a couple of months now, and in the last week
or so I've started using it seriously for building a web site for my
wife's business. After creating quite a few folders and DTML documents,
I'd like to find a way to streamline the management interface.

  

 My first thought was to reorganize some of the management pages, but I'm
having some trouble trying to figure out where they are defined (e.g.
manage_workspace) and how to go about changing them once I find them.
Acquisition is really cool, but it can make tracking things down somewhat
problematic at times. Anyone got any pointers about where I should be
looking?

  

 I also saw the article John Udell(?) wrote at Byte.com about Zope and
some of the forum discussion there that followed. One forum article
mentioned that Web-DAV could be used with IE5 by opening Zope as a Web
Folder. This sounded intriguing, so I tried it (after having to
completely re-install IE5 to get Web Folder support to work right :-(. 

  

 However, I must be missing the point, or have the wrong idea about what
it will allow me to do. If I open
'<<http://MyZopeSite:8080/'>http://MyZopeSite:8080/' I get a nice file
folder view of my Zope site. But when I try to drag a DTML document to an
editor, I get an error dialog saying 'An error occurred copying some or
all of the selected files'. If I try to open
'<<http://MyZopeSite:8080/manage>http://MyZopeSite:8080/manage' I get an
error saying it can't open the page as a Web Folder. What am I doing
wrong? And when it works right, what should I be able to do? Any help
will be greatly appreciated.

  

 BTW, I found the mini-HOWTO's on DTML Document/Method differences and
Namespace management to be very helpful. They cleared up several points
that had been pretty murky in my understanding of Zope. Hopefully these
will be added to the main documentation at some point.
