If you want to keep using Template Toolkit with some extra support for common things like sessions, users, etc., take a look at OpenInteract. - Perrin
Re: Job tracking and publishing question.
From: Thomas Whitney [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to implement a job tracking and database publishing system and hoping for some assistance. My company does short run 4 color digital printing. Because it is short urn we handle multiple jobs every day. I developed an online bidding system; it use Apache, mod_perl, and mysql. Now I would like to move to tracking jobs online; first, for internal purposes -- it would make the workflow much easier to follow -- and later for customers to view the status of their jobs on the web. Each bid has about 38 data fields associated with it and each job will have a few more fields along with an image file in the form of a pdf. You would have to customize it quite a bit but you might look at 'Request Tracker' as a starting point: http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/ It uses mason with sql or postgresql as the framework. A new version is on the way so if you would probably want to get the latest beta from http://www.fsck.com/pub/rt/devel/ (2.1.86 now) to start. --- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED]
