Phil, It is great to see more posts about how well zope works for "Web 2.0" projects. I have used extjs with zope and really like the combination. I'd like to learn more about your jquery /plone setup and how you make it work. Would it be a time consuming for you to create a generic product that demonstrates your setup? It would be helpful to have a common set of artifacts to discuss. Thanks, Tim ps. I can make available a generic product that demonstrates how I use extjs if there is interest. It is pretty simple...serve a little dtml doc which requests the gui cached in javascript. Gui makes ajax calls back to zope for the dynamic elements.
pps. nice work zamazing! python/dtml syntax highlighting in codepress? sweet. (but I am addicted to the mac version of Komodo) On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 5:01 AM, Philip Kilner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Tom, > > > Tom Von Lahndorff wrote: > > > Thats pretty awesome.
