Javier,

Take a look at the CMF or CMF-based products like Plone
(http://plone.org) or CPS (http://www.cps-project.org/). CMF is
linked directly from the main Zope.org site. Included is membership
signup, you can encrypt passwords in the Zope ZODB database by using
the supplied acl_users folder or use any of a variety of user
datastores. They all provide a lot more than just membership signup and
form-based logon.

Non-modified CMF / Plone etc do have member signup and member profiles,
but not member confirmation or the concept of a member requiring higher
approval before their registration becomes a 'real' member. I believe
the CMFMember product provides this, but I've never tried it and wrote
my own solutions long ago. I don't know about a rating system product.

Have you looked at the Plone how-to's? They often are helpful even if you aren't specifically building a Plone site.

Good luck,
Rob

[Zope] Membership website

2005-09-21 Thread Javier Godinez
Anyone,

Hi, noo-bee here, I need some direction, not sure if I should build my
site from the ground up, or if there are templates that I can use out
there.

I am trying to decide how to go about building site where users can
signup for an account by confirming their email address. They will also
have profiles and a rating system. 

If anyone can direct me where to start, I will really appreciate it,
the tutorials where really basic and didnt get into the details of
sending emails or how to keep a user database with encrypted passwords
to authenticate users.

Thank you so much, Javier Godinez
