[Zope] ZCatalog : Searching Multiple Indexes : Returning One Result
Hi, I have a catalog called catalog that contains a bunch of cataloged
items. I have indexed 3 properties for each item, name, body and
description. I'd like to be able to search the catalog in the following
way:
if the word text shows up in any index, name, body or description,
return that result back once.
The problem is I have is that if a do a search for text and say there's
results that have the word text in one or more of those indexes:
catalog({name:query}) or catalog({body:query}) or
catalog({description:query})
only gives back limited results (leaves out some 'True' hits) and:
catalog({name:query}) + catalog({body:query}) + catalog({description:query})
gives me back the same result 3 times.
any ideas? Thanks.

Re: [Zope] statistics and click analysis for a plone site
Highly recommend Google Analytics: http://www.google.com/analytics/ I've used it myself to track usage for a zope intranet which is only accessible on an internal network.

Re: [Zope] Conditional dtml-boundary in dtml-sendmail

Dear list
I'm trying to send a multi-part email after having submitted a

/dtml-sendmail
/dtml-let
Let's say that the user doesn't submit file3, on that case, zope will
generate something like this: some_ramdom_id.dat and it will attach
an empty file. I tried something like this:
dtml-if file1.filename not in ['', None]dtml-boundary
type=application/octet-stream disposition=attachment
filename_expr=file1.filename
dtml-var file1.read()/dtml-if
However when I try to save, zope fails and says:
Error Type: Document Template Parse Error
Error Value: Unexpected tag, for tag dtml-boundary
type=application/octet-stream disposition=attachment
filename_expr=file1.filename , on line 215 of sendAnfrage
The only way I found to cope with this was doing a script to validate if a
file has whether a name or not, then I will return a dictionary like this:
{'name': real_name_or_dummy_name, 'data': file.read()_or_dummy_text}
So, I feed the boundary with a dummy file when no file was uploaded. I
don't
really like to send dummy files since it may confuse the person receiving
the emails. Is there any better way of achieving this? Please note that
since I'm working in the zmi and I'm not the administrator of the machine
where my page is hosted, I can only use dtml to send mail :-(, thus using
the python mail library isn't an option on this case.

Re: [Zope] Plone middle aligns all colums
If you've introduced tables into the overall layout tds will not align
the content to the top by default. You'd need to add td {vertical-
align: top} to your css. I doubt the problem has to do with a setting
in Plone or Zope. It would be easier to trouble shoot this if there
were a link to the page in question.

We can sort of fix this by manually adding vertical-align: top; in
the css. But my designer claims that he caused this by “changing a
setting in Plone or the ZMI” and doesn’t remember which one.
Since it’s not on the production site, it’s not a life and death
situation, but any suggestions what might cause this are gratefully
accepted. Google and the Plone site search yielded pretty much
nothing.

Re: [Zope] Zope ZMI Templates
There's nothing wrong with the ZMI. You're just try to hack into some kind of cms rather than just build one. Hiding a link with css is nasty hack and major security issue. While it may seem like what you're doing is an easy path to a quick cms, you're really just setting yourself up for a management nightmare. I'd recommend reading through (all of) this: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook On Jan 17, 2008, at 10:17 AM, Tim Nash wrote: Tom, Thanks but I think I am almost done. I have replaced the old style calls with id=Find id=Properties etc. by access the sequence. Then I added css code at the top of that same file (I think it is manage_tabs.dtml, I'm not on that computer right now). So now I can format the tabs anyway I want. There is also a little bit of javascript that checks window.parent.location and applies changes to the tabs if the user hasn't logged into the base directory.(only available to the admin). My thinking is that the zmi is battle tested. I'd rather use something that many people have already been using. Plus, from my perspective, it looks to me like the zmi just needs a little updating.

Basically you look at the clients ip address (from the REQUEST object) and perform any action you need (redirections, conditions within scripts, templates)...but no idea what the sense of this usecase is. If you have different audiences, setup sites with different content or something similar. In addition: using Zope behind proxy will lead in request coming from the IP address of your reverse proxy. Additional configuration/programming is necessary to get hold of the original IP. Thanks for the reply. The use case is that my client wants to block a range of IP addresses from being able to view their site. So I need to access the originating IP address and filter appropriately. I've written a few custom zope products before, but I've not done anything that really modifies zope's behaviour on every request - just on requests for the specific objects I'm publishing. So I'm familiar with the request object, but I don't know how to intercept *every* request. Are there any global request life-cycle hooks? If you can point me to those that would be a great help. Cheers, David If you just need to redirect traffic from an IP range, and not do anything fancy, it may be better to do it in Apache rather than Zope. http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/ZopeAndApache Tom ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] Best Practice for including Javascript in Zope Applications

I would like to use Ext JS (http://www.extjs.com/ ) in an application that I am writing. It is a fairly extensive library, so I didn’t really want to copy/paste every single file into a dtml method. I looked all over the place for some discussion on this subject, but only found things relating to plone (which apparently has a javascript registry); however, I wish to stay away from plone for this particular application.

Re: [Zope] Frustrated with Python and Frameworks. Zope, Grok, Django, CherryPy
Zope2 + DTML + Python and you're good to go. I know a bunch of developers/designers, including myself that use this combo all the time. I currently use it for projects at a Fortune 500 company. The docs suck but once you get in the groove you can bang out solid, stable, good looking, standard compliant sites unbelievably fast. Acquisition can be your best friend and you reuse a lot of your coding for multiple projects. There are still developers on this list who use DTML over ZPT, they just dont post much to it because of the ZPT backlash you get when you do. I've gotten private messages off this list from people though about DTML so there is support out there. Its true that most of the products for Zope 2 have been updated in a while but I can tell you that most will work fine with the latest Zope 2 release and are very customizable. The Zope2 ecosystem is pretty mature and stable just poorly documented or supported. I do think you'll probably get the Zope Zen quicker than you think and be able to figure out a lot on your own. On Nov 26, 2007, at 8:18 PM, Rene B wrote: I'm frustrated trying to select a python web framework. I’ve researched quite a few. CherryPy,Karrigell,Zope 2,3,Grok, Gluon,Django,Mod_Python. I’ve also looked at templating languages like Spyce, and Cheetah. I’m beginning to think there’s nothing out there for a newbie python programmer like myself. I’m a Network Admin that likes programming but doesn’t have the time to get really proficient at it. I selected Python as a language of choice and that’s all I’ve used. I’ve written a few scripts . I’m interested in building dynamic web sites but I tell you it’s impossible to select a tool. I’ve researched all the tools mentioned above. The most important thing in my decision is that I know some Python and want to use it to build the dynamic site. I don’t want to learn a new language to do that. ZPT is a new language. Its not python. Not even close. Out of all the ones I’ve researched I like Zope 2 the best. Not sure why. I want some thing easy. I like DTML. It’s easy. I know why ZPT has it’s advantages but for ease of use it doesn’t come close to DTML. Most people like me wont be building complex web sites and I’d be the only working on it meaning I’ll do the HTML layout and code the dynamic portions of it. So I don’t’ need to worry about an HTML editor getting confused with the dynamic languages mixed in blah blah blah. I’m afraid to learn Zope 2 because I have no idea what direction it’s going in. Not to mention I don’t particularly like ZPT. I’ve read DTML isn’t going anywhere but I don’t imagine I’ll get much support on it when needed and I’m sure people will be telling me to use ZPT cause DTML is dead. Funny, I read something while reading news about Grok’s new plugins for any template language . They used Genshi as an example and talked about template languages and which one is better etc.. The bottom line was use the one that you like. So I wish people would stop putting down DTML or others over the one they prefer and continue to help those regardless of which they choose. Back to trying to choose. I think Django is too hard. I like Mod_python with PSP. PSP seems to be more python like then anything I’ve seen. Yet Mod_Python has terrible docs for people like me and it doesn't seem to popular. The other frameworks have some good ideas. I like Karrigell but you just don’t know how long it will be supported.Gluon is cool but its new. Zope 3 is out of the question. Grok looks to me like another CherryPy. It may be easier the Zope 3 but it’s not easier then Zope 2. Plus I’ve yet to get it installed on my windows XP to play. I like cheetah as a tool. There docs are not that great and not many examples. Plus no auto generated content like you get in Zope 2. Yes some magic is good. The CRUD is what made Rails over rated to start out with.People like some magic. saves time. Combining Cheetah and Zope sounds interesting to me. So what do I do. I like Zope 2. I can’t find any books on it released after 2002. Plone is tooo much. There aren’t any new products out for Zope 2 and the ones that are there haven’t been touched for years. Zope 2 wiki seems dead. I was looking the other day for some type of auto CRUD for Zope 2. couldn’t find anyting. No one seems to be adding anything new to Zope 2 which scares me the most. If I take the time to learn a tool I want to make sure it’s going to be around for awhile and have good support and new addons being added all of the time to help me. ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I've used Automator to create an app that I have as a startup item
which restarts Zope on reboot. You could also use iCal for scheduling.
In Automator choose Automator under Library and then Run Shell
Script and type in your script, save that as an Application then add
it to your startup items.

Hello,
I'm trying to get a startup item set up under OS X Server 10.4 on
an Intel XServe box. I'd like not to have to manually restart Zope
every time a software update forces me to restart the machine.
I've gotten the following written up, but it failed to run for some
unspecified reason.
Here's the plist:
{
Description = Zope Application Server;
Provides= (Application Server);
Uses= (Disks, NFS);
}
And the startup script:
#!/bin/sh

}
I have multiple zope instances running, and need to start them all,
and this is my attempt, but it doesn't work.
Anyone out there have a successful StartupItem script that I could
model mine after? Alternatively, anyone have any debugging
experience on StartupItems and could point me at how to figure out
more than 'it failed' (which is all the system log tells me)?
thanks in advance for any advice you all might have!

[Zope] RSS to HTML in Zope
Hi, Im still struggling to get an RSS feed converted to HTML in Zope using Universal Feed Parser http://www.feedparser.org/ + This feedpaser setup http://www.zope.org/Members/johntynan/feedparser I'm able to get an RSS feed converted to what looks like a dictionary and view it, however it shows up as a rendered string on the page. Whenever I try to get any of the keys, no matter how, I've tried every possible scenario, I get an error back every time. Blah Blah is not callable..., You care not allowed to access blah Blah in this context., Value 0, etc... I've also tried using the RSS Document in the XML Kit which ended up causing a runaway python method and took down Zope so I'd like to avoid using it. Half the time it gives back an error message anyway. If anyone has a relatively easy way to convert an RSS feed to HTML in Zope I would greatly appreciate any feedback on how to set this up. Thanks in advance. ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] Dictionary Key Error from Parsed RSS
Hi everyone, I've used Universal Feed Parser to parse an RSS feed. Then used these instructions below to get the parsed data into Zope via an External Method. Everything seems to work fine except that I keep getting an error whenever I try to access a key from the returned data. The resulting data is returned as a dictionary and if I render it as is it works fine, however in both ZPT and DTML, when trying to access a key, for instance feed or href from the dictionary I'm prompted to login, which I'm unable to do with my admin login. After hitting cancel I get a Key Error that says You are not able to access 'href' (or whatever) in this context. Is there any way to somehow let Zope know that this data is 'ok'? Thanks in advance. Pre-requisites == - Zope 2.5.x (developed and tested with Zope 2.5.1, but other minor versions should work as well) - feedparser.py 3.0 (http://diveintomark.org/projects/feed_parser/) developed and tested with 3.0 beta 22, the latest version Installation 1. Installing feedparser.py --- 1.1. Unzip the archive (preserving path names) into /Zopesite/bin/lib/ 1.2. open a command prompt window and go to /Zopesite/bin/lib/ feedparser/ 1.3. enter the command (sans quotes): '..\..\python setup.py install' 1.4. after installation, enter the command: '..\..\python feedparsertest.py' 1.5. wait for testing to complete. On my laptop, 2051 tests ran in 118.481s 2. Installing the external method - 2.1 place the newsfeed.py module in the /Zopesite/Extensions/ directory 2.2 Add an external method to your zope site with an id and Module of 'newsfeed', and a function of 'parsefeed' 3. Installing the feed template --- 3.1 Add a Page template to your Zope site with the contents of the nprnews.pt Page Template 3.2 examine the generic template rendering of NPR News, all fields from the feed should be available. ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I think your line numbers are off by one, because I'd think it is
the getattr that would be causing the Attribute Error (at most,
line 9 could give an attribute error for something called data.
Zope turns file upload objects into
ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instances. and pass them to your
method. FileUpload instances have an interface similar to python
file objects, you can .read(), .seek(), .close() or do whatever you
want to them and might not need to wrap the contents into a
StringIO object first. (your trying to fetch the file as an
attribute of self seems to imply that you think the form data is
already uploaded into zope and is an Image object in a folder. It
isn't there yet, and won't be unless you store it there.)
I think if you removed lines 8 and 9 (by your numbering) and
renamed the second argument to the method to original_file,
things would work as you need:
1 def makeImages(self, original_file):

3import PIL.Image

[Zope] Zope on Mac OS X Server
Hi I'm having trouble setting redirecting port 80 to port 8080 on Mac OS X Server 10.4. I installed Zope via the Plone installer and have a an Instance running in the Applications folder. I can access the ZMI on port 8080 via the machines IP address, but I can't seem to get the Apache rewrite rule to work as shown in the various documentation. I'm curious if anyone has done this before and/or has used OS X Server's Server Admin tool to create an alias or redirect from port 80 to 8080. Thanks in advance.

For jumping around between many wikis, many pages, and doing serious wiki gardening, I find it less distracting, also the page hierarchy is clearer. For some people it will also be faster. So I wanted to leave it in place for at least a few days to give people a chance to see how it works for browsing these wikis. I also like that big Zope planet floating in the background of the zope2 wiki. The sense of wide-open spaciousness. And I like that it's visually distinct from the zope3 wiki, so you know at a glance where you are. I have been guessing the consensus will be to use the new skin across all the wikis, though. But I think we definitely need some way to differentiate them. I'll see if I can come up with something. Just now, motivated by Martijn's talk at DZUG (recommended!) I started to move the templates from /zope3 up to the root folder, then I realized the skin has zope3 wiki stuff hard-coded. So some more work is needed before the skin can be reused.

Re: [ZWeb] Re: website design discussion
semi-stretchable Would be nice if IE supported min-width and max-width in css. It doesn't. The only way I've seen anyone get that to work in IE is with some nasty javascript hack. We can keep going down this road though, fine with me. We'll be here for literally weeks and months going through all of the pros and cons of fixed vs. fluid layouts that have been debated for years. There is no right answer. p.s. Lennart, 1600 wide? Are you serious? Regardless of monitor size, do you actually leave your browser window open to that size? In all the stats I've seen 1600 represents 0% to 1% of users and I'd imagine most sites look like shit at that size (in the rare case, I'd imagine, that the user has the browser set to full screen). p.p.s. I will be working on the Linux rendering issues which is actually a good example of the real challenges with web design. Getting a standards based site to look good on IE an Firefox on a PC is a (nightmarish at times) challenge alone (mostly thanks to IE's lack of standards support). Getting it to work on every browser on every OS and look good is a boatload of work. My focus is to do just that while keeping the html and css *clean* and free of hacks and javascript as much as possible. Also, keeping the html reusable to easily implement future design changes and as maintenance free as possible. p.p.p.s. Jens hit the nail on the head. Believe it or not, but 800 x 600 still represents ~20% of users and I'd rather not have them have to scroll horizontally to get to content. Thats *way* worse than having extra space on the sides. Really, guys, what all of this boils down to is that with all of the various browsers, OSs, screen resolutions, javascript support etc. there can be no one size fits them all answer. Designing a good site is about getting to work as well as possible for the majority of users, but at the end of the day, no matter what, some users are not going to like it. It annoys me that digg.com is fixed for 1024 because when I have my bookmarks sidebar open in Firefox I have to scroll horizontally or close my bookmarks. Great site though and I go to it every day. It bugs me that cnn.com has inconsistent navigation throughout the site. I go to cnn.com for news all the time. Although these features annoy me I'm sure they have valid reasons for doing them and they don't prevent me from using the site. Right now the biggest problem that Zope, zope.org as well as other zope products/properties suffers from is useability and marketing. The least of any problems is what color the sites are, whether the pages are fluid or fixed width or whatever. The real problem is that no knows what Zope is, how it works or how to use the sites. I've been using Zope and zope.org for like 7 or 8 years now and you know what, I have no clue how to add content to my page on zope.org and to upload any of the interesting products or skins Ive created. Thats a problem when people within the community can't figure stuff out, forget newcomers. Zope is better than PHP or Ruby on Rails but is getting it's a$$ kicked every single day by them because of just this kind of stuff. At this point it's a game of catch up for Zope and for any of these projects to get stalled because a website looks like shit on a 1600 pixel wide monitor is just insane. Lets get past these basic design issues, get a test site up and running and start getting our hands dirty. Lets implement the html and css and then get down to brass tacks and start the *real* work of editorializing the content so that it's understandable to newcomers as well as veterans, making content easily accessible and clearly labeled, providing easy to use interfaces and functionality. Keep this in mind too, that a many times a decision as to whether or not to use Zope for a particular project, *cough* *especially for large scale projects* *cough* (trust me, I know), will be greatly influenced by some non-technical people. If they can't go to a site and at least get a basic idea of the strengths of the product and feel comfortable with the marketing of that product they'll forget about it in 2 seconds. Its the details of this site that are much more important at the end of the day than how wide the margins of the page are.

Re: [ZWeb] Re: website design discussion
Sorry Chris, I didnt mean to harsh on you. That was meant in fun as much as it is in truth. I dont mind any negative feedback, but what Im looking for more like: - What content do we need and where should it go. - Suggestions for better functionality (like the title bars of a table should be clickable to rank items by that criteria). - This page blows up in my browser or the nav doesnt work. - Suggestions for homepage content (News and updates RSS Feeds, Testmonials...). - Editing of text if some information is too wordy or confusing. - Site structure and content boxes, wireframes. Im trying to avoid things like: - I dont like that color. (Unless its really nasty this is 100% subjective) - Fixed width vs. Fluid layouts. (This debate has been around since tables. We need to just pick one. For every person that doesnt like the space on the side of the page with fixed width there will be another person who doesnt like the extra white space at the bottom of every page on fluid width layout) - Anything thats really subjective issue that can be debated ad infinitum. Im trying to avoid design by committee. Ive worked on like hundreds of TV and Radio websites and basically they all look a$$. This is because everyone from the morning show host to the general manager to the salespeople all b!tch and moan until they get what they want and the end product is hideous frankensite. I dont think that would happen here but I want put down the hammer anywhere I see it start to creep in. The big difference here as well is that the site will be built on Zope! This means was can all tweak it to our hearts content because it's built smart, on a flexible and scalable backend. Instead of trying to get something *great* out of the box, lets get up a *good* site and go from there and make it great. Lets get it up and running and functioning and focus on the content wrapped a good and nice design and go from there... I want to keep momentum on this.

Working on it. :) On Aug 25, 2006, at 6:59 AM, Martijn Faassen wrote: Tom Von Lahndorff wrote: Yeah, thats the problem. Because IE6 doesnt fully support the hover function in CSS you need a javascript 'hack' to get a flyout to work. It actually a very small and clean script, but an IE hack nonetheless. More info here: http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ I think we could have submenus display under the menu item once a section is clicked, but until IE gets it together (Im not reading too many promising reviews of IE7) we should probably avoid any 'IE hacks'. Instead of worrying about the drop-downs too much, I'd really like to see a template that uses a fairly standard left-hand-side navigation (perhaps with major categories on the top). www.plone.org uses this pattern, for instance.

[ZWeb] Re: volunteers wanted! zope foundation website as guinea pig
I'm here. I'll tweak the design per the suggestions below and send it out. I actually worked on another one since then. Ill send that out as well. On Aug 22, 2006, at 1:43 PM, Martijn Faassen wrote: Hi there, It's nearing september, and I'd like to start some work on zope.org, in particular www.zope.org/foundation. I'm looking for volunteers to help. As you all probably know, we have a Zope Foundation, of which I'm a board member (representative for the committer members). Aroldo Souza-Leite is also on the board as chairman. Aroldo and I are the board members responsible for the zope.org website committee. The task of the zope.org committee is to improve the zope.org web presence. Aroldo and I won't be doing the work or decision making alone, but since we have the backing of the foundation, we can make decisions stick. Volunteers are welcome to join this committee! One of the first tasks at hand is to improve the presence of the Zope Foundation on the web. We currently have a section here: http://www.zope.org/foundation This website doesn't look very pretty at all. My proposal is to reorganize it, have some introductory text, put in links to relevant information resources, such as mailing lists (including this one), and to stick a nice layout around it. This project will serve two purposes: * to create a nice website for the foundation. * serve as an example and test case for the wider zope.org renewal project. So, please help us out. Layout -- I propose we use Tom Von Lahndorff's design for the foundation website. For the purposes of the foundation site we should strip it down: * no login necessary * no search (unless we integrate google-based search, perhaps) * possibly no drop-down menus at the top. We could simply have links there, or possibly a standard left-hand side navigation. This design is the top page; we need to see a sub-page design as well. Tom, are you still there? This time we're going to use what you made quickly, if you're willing! Structure and text -- Aroldo and I (Aroldo, I'm volunteering you :) are willing to work on a bunch of restructured text documents that introduce the zope foundation and set up the site structure. Technology -- I've said this before, and I'll just repeat it again: let's try to avoid technology discussions as much as we can. Most of us, including myself, are techies, so it's attractive to do this, but we just want to put a website up. This doesn't require any new technology, nor does it require a heavy-duty CMS. To break my own rule on no technology discussions right way: I propose letting www.zope.org/foundation point to a Apache directory, where we maintain HTML files. We will then generate such HTML files from restructured text we maintain in the zope SVN repository, using a simple script that drives docutils. If you want examples of websites that are managed this way and I have personal experience with, check out the following places on codespeak: http://codespeak.net/z3/ http://codespeak.net/lxml/ Since we're not aiming for a big site, this should be sufficient technology. For the larger zope.org, we may need something else, or we may not. Let's treat the foundation website as a trial case here too, and see how we like it. There's one alternative to this approach that will also work on the short term: a volunteer that's willing to work with zope.org and integrate the layout and text and structure we want into existing zope.org infrastructure. If someone volunteers to work on this, I'd be happy to do it that way as well. Does anyone volunteer? Any other technological approaches require more setup and I'd like to defer them for the time being. We can take them up when we tackle zope.org proper. I hope we can all have this together in a couple of weeks, so let's start working! Regards, Martijn ___ Zope-web maillist - Zope-web@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-web

Re: [ZWeb] V3 Updated
- I think fly out menus on Web pages just don't Feel Good (not to mention the debatable usability problems they might introduce[2]). See Mike D.'s comments on that article which pretty much sums up my rationale and implementation. Still not convinced, but that's just me. We don't have such a deep structure or information density, I would simply put a context navigation on the left (or right) for each section but not on the homepage, like on this two pages: http://www.mozilla.org/support/ http://www.mozilla.org/about/ Very simple. Not really. Just the opposite actually, confusing. My design is certainly more simple than mozilla's. Inconsistent page layout. I like sites that have a consistent layout throughout, including the homepage. It's confusing when the navigation changes on a page by page basis. In my case there's no scheme that the user has to *get*.

http://www.modscape.com/zope 03/22/06. Updated the homepage. Added the Zope 3 box. Created a download page. Click on Download Zope under Download in the nav. Thanks for all of the comments. Keep 'em coming. A couple of people had mentioned the background was a bit dark so I've lightened it. It seems though that people are pretty happy with the general look and feel of the layout. I'd like to start drilling down into content at this point and this where I'll really need people's feedback, especially editorially. I want to try and keep the content simple and not make the assumption that visitors know what Zope is and what it does. I was also thinking that there should be a discussion board on the site like Apple's support boards. Many of the support questions answered on Apple's boards are from other customers. It's a nice one stop shop for questions and answers for those who may not want to subscribe to mailing list. It would be nice to have that option. http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa ___ Zope-web maillist - Zope-web@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-web
Re: [ZWeb] Version 3
About printing. The CSS for printable pages has not been added yet. The pages will be printer freindly (inluding menus). - Original Message - From: Andrew Sawyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Brad Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: zope-web@zope.org Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 12:19 PM Subject: Re: [ZWeb] Version 3 --- I have bigger questions though. 1. Does the page print well? Dunno, a print css would solve this easily. 2. Is the site to represent -both- Zope2 and Zope3, or just Zope3? Wit mentions of Plone, CMF and Zope Products on the drop-down menus, it seems to be targeted at Zope2. It has always been in my scope of trying to direct this to focus on Zope the technology, not a specific zope version. 3. On those drop-down menus, lose the constant prefix Zope. For example, under Business, we don't need Zope Training, just Training. Drop down menus are placeholders - there is actually structre in svn we are going to be using on the live site. 4. Re the copyright at the bottom - shouldn't that be Zope Foundation instead?\ There is no Zope Foundation yet. Suppose it likely should be when it is formed. 5. I like the drop-down menus, although they won't print. Do we care? Can this be handled in css?
