[Zope-CMF] Suggestions

[Ioan Coman]

Hello!

Today I have seen your product.
Today I have test CMF!

I'm stupid, I know, but until today I did not know about CMF!

Your product is too complicated for me.
I know python, but I'm not ready to make Zope products in Python
(my only one was PHP Object which is almost a joke,
http://www.zope.org/Members/Ioan/PHPObject )

I can do a lot of things in dtml+python scripts or external python method=
s.


My ideea about a portal is more simple:
A lot of items with title structured into folders.
The id is from ZopeTime (automatically generated).
Each item has owner, icon, description, access_group
(which groups can see the item) and item_type (news, idea, link, file, ..=
=2E)

Almost all items are DTML Documents with extra properties.

When I render the navigation site map from left (or from top)
I test has_attr 'item_type' and I append at end :

<dtml-var absolute_url>/view_news
<dtml-var absolute_url>/view_idea
<dtml-var absolute_url>/view_document
<dtml-var absolute_url>/view_item
<dtml-var absolute_url>/view_image
<dtml-var absolute_url>/view_link



and method view_xxx
<dtml-with PARENTS[0]>
 .....
</dtml-with>








What do you think?

I don't know what do you have inside
(Python Classes, ZClasses, ...)
but I'm thinking how can I contribute for your product.


May I realease a product like yours which contains
user_db (is old, but I like it) +
tiny table plus + local_fs +
dtml_methods and documents ????


user_db - keep zope users, role=3Dusers
tiny_table_plus - keep local users, groups or local permissions
dtml_documents - are visible items
dtml_methods - are the methods which add/erase/edit/change documents


I have the user manager and security already built.
I have 70% from the forum I want to create,
just I must change it a bit (see LocalForum, WikiForum, IForum).
I have to think about site skins
(maybe a skin is a folder with pictures and methods
and current skin is a property of root folder, or is in a cookie)



It does not matter what's inside.
It is important to easy understand and manage items.

I was expecting to create a lot of folders and subfolders,
then with dtml_documents like local_items and local_subitems
to display the current context (tables with links and icons).



Do you have a topic forum about CMF or PTK,
or should I enable zope-dev to receive emails!

Yours,
 Ioan
