On the other hand, it sounds like you are qualified to write a
comparison study. Would you consider preparing one and contributing it
to zope.org? There is a crying need for informed side-by-side
comparisons between Zope and other application server platform
technologies -- it's a FAQ.

ROTFL!  There are days when the Zope world gets just a tad frustrating 
aren't there?

In the meantime, the best solution to the problem is probably to
implement the code that does the actual work in Zope and use 
cron + xmlrpc to trigger it to go off at the right time.

Wow!!! ZScheduler sounds perfect! I'm assuming that it is the one that
doesn't work. What is involved to make it work? With my limited knowledge of
both Python and Zope, I don't know that I could be much help. However, I'd
be willing to help out any way I can.

Both would do what you want, one isn't implemented and the other doesn't
work.

If other people are interested, that could change...

[Zope] syndication??

2000-05-25 Thread Webmaster

A few weeks ago I went to an Allaire Spectra seminar (Spectra is Allaire's
$15,000 Zope). It was a very nice presentation and the fundamental
principles were quite similar. I have played around with Spectra and I found
it to be super clunky with way to many steps from point A to point B.
Not to mention the fact that it is only "object like". I could go on but
this is not meant to be a comparison study.

However, with that said, there was one particular "out-of-the-box" feature
that really impressed me. In spectra you can take and "object" (article,
image, etc) and set it up for syndication. One of the syndication options is
to send the "object" via email at a set time. So you could have a news page
summary set up to send itself out to a distribution email list on a certain
day. 

The concept is simple enough, but I just don't know how I could do the same
thing in Zope. I am setting up a system where daily articles can be entered
weeks in advance and will only appear on the web site when the date matches
their "go live date" (easy). But I would also like the article to be emailed
to my distribution email list on its "go live date". 

Is anyone doing this? If so could you enlighten me on how?

Thanks!!
