However, this arrangement of objects can quickly turn into a mess if you attempt to create special features or a large website. Things become di...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Creating-Zope-Products/?kc=rss Tue, 28 Feb 2006 09:00:46 -0500 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Plone-Content-Types-With-Archetypes/?kc=rss - Introduction Plone is a fantastic content management system. Out of the box, it contains a number of useful features, and managing content is stunningly easy. A number of third-party utilities also exist that can be used to expand the capabilities of a Plone site. However, each website has its own...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Plone-Content-Types-With-Archetypes/?kc=rss Mon, 07 Feb 2005 09:00:01 -0500 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Flat-User-Management-in-Zope/?kc=rss - Introduction Today, many websites feature a database of users. Viewers can register accounts required to access privileged areas of the website. For example, a clan could reserve pages on game tactics for members of the clan, rather than anyone and everyone who just might happen to come across thei...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Flat-User-Management-in-Zope/?kc=rss Tue, 25 Jan 2005 09:00:27 -0500 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Creating-Basic-Zope-Applications/?kc=rss - In this tutorial, we will be exploring the basics of creating Web applications in Zope. We will use Zope Page Templates and a bit of Python to create a primitive forum system. Yes, primitive. Note that what we create will not be the best in its category, and this is certainly not the only way to cre...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Creating-Basic-Zope-Applications/?kc=rss Mon, 24 Nov 2003 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Getting-started-with-Zope-for-Linux-and-Solaris/?kc=rss - Let's face it: It's become harder and harder to tell the difference between content and software on the web. After all, knowledge databases, search engines, content management systems, Web logs, and even our own discussion forums blur the lines every day. Static content just isn't enough these...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Getting-started-with-Zope-for-Linux-and-Solaris/?kc=rss Thu, 31 Oct 2002 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/ZPT-Basics-part-4/?kc=rss - Three weeks ago, I started you off on a tour of Zope Page Templates, explaining what they were and how they could make your life more interesting. I unraveled the mystery behind TAL, the attribute language used in ZPT, and TALES, the expression syntax that allows you to use TAL in a logical ma...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/ZPT-Basics-part-4/?kc=rss Wed, 09 Oct 2002 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/ZPT-Basics-part-3/?kc=rss - If you've been following along, you now know a little more about ZPT, specifically how to introduce decision-making logic into your templates by means of variables and conditional tests. You also saw how all that theory can be put to practical use by implementing a simple form processor for us...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/ZPT-Basics-part-3/?kc=rss Wed, 25 Sep 2002 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/ZPT-Basics-part-2/?kc=rss - In the first part of this series, I introduced you to Zope Page Templates, explaining how they offered Zope developers an advantage over traditional DTML by separating user interface code from program logic. I also told you a little bit about the three components of ZPT, and gave you a crash course ...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/ZPT-Basics-part-2/?kc=rss Wed, 18 Sep 2002 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/ZPT-Basics-part-1/?kc=rss - Not too long ago, I introduced you to something called DTML, the Document Template Markup Language. I defined it as HTML on steroids, and spent lots of time and bandwidth showing you how it could be used to build complex Zope applications. DTML isn't the only thing Zope has going for it, t...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/ZPT-Basics-part-1/?kc=rss Tue, 13 Aug 2002 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Exception-Handling-In-DTML/?kc=rss - As a developer, there are a few things you get used to pretty quickly: the long hours, the demanding customers, the low pay, the lack of a social life. However, if you're anything like most developers, there's one thing that probably never fails to get your goat, no matter how long you've been writi...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Exception-Handling-In-DTML/?kc=rss Wed, 17 Jul 2002 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/DTML-Basics-part-4/?kc=rss - Last time out, you learned about sequences, and how they could be processed with the lt;dtml-in> loop construct. You also learned about the special variables that DTML provides to developers to help them identify and take advantage of special sequence elements - the first element, the last...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/DTML-Basics-part-4/?kc=rss Tue, 02 Jul 2002 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/DTML-Basics-part-3/?kc=rss - If you've been following along, you now know how to incorporate decision-making constructs in your DTML code. As you saw in last week's episode, DTML comes with a fairly large family of conditional statements, which allow you to add business intelligence to your DTML scripts. But DTML is a...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/DTML-Basics-part-3/?kc=rss Wed, 05 Jun 2002 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/DTML-Basics-part-2/?kc=rss - In the first part of this article, I explained the basics of DTML, giving you a crash course in objects, methods, variables and acquisition. I showed you how to use the Zope management interface to construct your own objects and methods, and also demonstrated how Zope looks for variables. Finall...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/DTML-Basics-part-2/?kc=rss Tue, 21 May 2002 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/DTML-Basics-part-1/?kc=rss - One of the nicest things about Zope is its ability to separate an application's presentation layer from the business logic that drives it. It does this using its very own tag-based markup language, Document Template Markup Language or DTML. What's DTML? Well, as the Zope Documentation Project at htt...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/DTML-Basics-part-1/?kc=rss Tue, 14 May 2002 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Using-Zope-With-Apache/?kc=rss - So you've read the advertising, heard all your friends talking about it, and finally decided to download your own copy of Zope. You've installed it, played with it, maybe even written a few DTML pages or created some small Zope applications. And you're sold. You're ready to install it on your Web si...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Zope/Using-Zope-With-Apache/?kc=rss
