Troy, If your looking for wysiwyg tools and your content managers exclusively uses Internet Explorer 4++, I suggest you have a look at http://www.zope.org/Members/johanc/ZIE. It's not a complete CMS solution but a vital component. At the moment it lacks support for images, tables and links. Event though it can be solved by hand, it's not end-user proof. To solve the linking and images part there's a need for a resource manager and resource browser in Zope, which I been working on (ZCatalog base of cause). The HTML-table management problem have several possible solutions. I am looking at a sub-template, Zpattern-like solution, but there are easier ways out depending on your requirements. With the release of Internet Explorer 5.5 Microsoft have removed the DTML Editing Component (even if its still there it's "not supported") in favor for the DTML componenet in Design Mode. The new DTML Component have some nice features as editable regions but lacks in the html-table management when uses with Visual Basic or Scripting. If it's used from C++ though it could be extensivly extended, and you could build your own Dreamweaver/FrontPage quite easily. As far as programming MFC/COM applications in C++ is easy.

WHat your question is, probably, is whether you can you wysiwyg HTML editors with Zope. Some minor inconveniences aside that mostly have to do with file extensions, the answer is yes. As Zope speaks ftp and WebDAV and a host of other protocols, you can easily prepare Zope content with tools like HomeSite and Dreamweaver (and many other tools). Just try it out on a Zope installation hth Rik ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
[Zope-dev] Zope Content Management System
Hi there, I am working on a project and have been looking at the Zope Content Management System as part of the solution. However, I have a couple of questions. >From what I have seen so far, the page generation is all done through the Zope Management Interface, and the content of the page is done through a textarea requiring the user to have knowledge of the zope system(DTML) and HTML. With type type of solution I am looking for however, I need page content to be generated be users that have little or no knowledge of HTML. What I am wondering is if it is possible to integrate the Zope content management system with Cold Fusion as I can allow users with no knowledge of HTML to use an interface designed with Cold Fusion to create page content. I do not wish to build a content management system from scratch with Cold Fusion. Any suggestions and/or comments would be very helpful.
