[Zope] A Tale from IBM land...

[Sedat Yilmazer]

 Hi

 I am working on a word/excel macro to post the document to the Zope =
server. In this way the users can use Save On Zope menu option to post =
their docs to the Zope server. Macro will also collect the neccessary =
metadata as well and use the http protocol to post the data to the zope =
server.=20

 To have an easy-to-install macro I need a httpd client activeX with =
file upload capability. I am looking at the xmlhttp from M$ Now I have a =
version that posts the file and the metadata in XML format to the =
server.

 I need some help on the server side. the XML doc. sent to the server =
must be somehow converted back to metadata and file. xmlhttp encodes the =
data into the xml doc. so it must be decoded as well.

 My Q's
1-) Can I just create a XMLDocument and get the file data
2-) Is there a simple way to simulate a post with the collected data so =
that the server interface remains the same

3-) as an alternative Is there way to send the file and the metadata via =
WebDav and/or FTP

I like this article by Tim Cook from FreePM about focusing on vertical
market-sectors

http://www.freepm.org/goingvertical.html

How about setting up User Groups that are based around market-sectors,
rather than the usual geographical focus?

- Zope in Medicine/Healthcare
- Zope in Universities/Education
- Zope in ....... (your market-sector)

If Zope can be shown to have a healthy market-share in different =
sectors,
others might look at it and think "Hmmm, there must be something to it, =
if
all those people are using it"

HTH

Cheers, Jon

P.S. I hate to say this, but I think making things easier for =
Windows-users
would help as well! Show them how to integrate with existing =
Windows-based
technology (like the Access example quoted earlier), and help them to =
gently
wean their organisation away from MS-dominance! :-)
