Re: [Zope] External editor for ZMI
I prefer: emacs with ExternalEditor - to edit ZODB objects, emacs with TRAMP - to edit native filesystem files via SSH, see: http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/tramp/ emacs via FTP (with AngeFTP or with TRAMP) is also good for both of these when configured. But be aware that content and authorization strings are unencrypted over the wire for FTP, or HTTP (ExternalEditor and ZMI). If it's behind Apache HTTPS, ZMI or ExternalEditor should be secure. Please correct me if I'm wrong. What about Zope FTP -- can it be secured? Ciao, Nikko Dennis Allison wrote: emacs via ftp -- see the Zope Book for funky details.

RE: [Zope] External editor for ZMI
I do recommend Boa Constructor, which feels the most like you're actually editing source code files (though you're editing the zope objects in place). This program has actually saved my life. Caveats: It has a few dependencies you'll need to track down, and it's a little buggy/quirky. If you're not comfortable with a bit of DIY, or you're relatively new to zope and/or python, it might be more trouble than its worth. The 'upload' mechanism in ZMI for most objects might do OK for you, then you can use whatever editing environment you want. I'm sure a lot of people have solved this particular problem for themselves in different ways, based on their own editing needs/preferences. After a little trial and error, of course.

AFAIK External Editor just provides the infrastructure not the editor itself.

Re: [Zope] External editor for ZMI
External editor is an interface product that allows you to edit Zope objects with your local editor (vi, emacs, nano, wordpad, etc) but it does require installation of a helper product and Python on the client machine.

I've often used the WebDAV support for using standard file system based editing tools on Zope content. How well it works depends greatly on the WebDAV client you have (I guess the WebDAV client authors would claim that it depends on the WebDAV server, but in this case the server is fixed as Zope) On MacOSX, it works very well. I've never been able to get Windows Web Folders to work successfully with Zope. ___ 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 )
