I have created some "directory" archetype as product and it essentially does an xmlrpc call, gets a json/array object of all the users information, and displays a directory of the users' names and profile information.
I have done a search function using jquery as I am absolutely terrified of implementing a form in a plone product. There seems to be no guides to doing so. Or is there? So the directory path is something like "/directory" How would you be able to show individual user profiles through "/directory/ID_NUMBER"? Does Plone allow dynamically generated pages? The users change frequently and I don't really know how the url address thing will work. Do I have to manually force-create some user archetype for all the users returned by the xmlrpc call? Or create a dummy user archetype that will fill data with the ID_NUMBER passed by POST (since GET seems impossible)? I can do more xmlrpc calls using the ID_NUMBER to get information, but just unsure how Plone allows you to get information from the url and dynamically create a page. Thanks for any help!!! Developing Plone products is a nightmare for newbies. Are there any online guides/books that teaches you just how to create a full plone product? I seem to be unable to find any at all. Not the ambigious -> here is the basic file structure, now use psychic powers to fill the files up with advanced xml and python and hope everything works. ='( Plone makes newbie developers cry. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Archetype-Dynamic-URL--tp3176774p3176774.html Sent from the Product Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Product-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/product-developers
