RE: [Zope] Web application for Property companythanks for the =
contribution.
Here are my some ideas:
1. I will probaby use CMF but not using Plone.
I've seen plone and it is very slow.
2. If it is possible, I will also avoid CMF.
CMF is a great thing.
As I believe, there are many zope products that cannot be used in CMF =
(If I'm not wrong).
My idea is to reuse as many ready products as possible.
So, I would come back only to use:
-Basic Zope
-DTML/ZPT
-Python
So, at this time, I need to pickup some python script and product =
creation.
I would love it if someone can point me the usage of CMF out of:
-creating membership
-personalization
thanks,
brian

Here's my 5 minute take on this, and I don't consider myself very =
knowledgeable at the moment, so...=20
0. Yes, zope and the cmf would be very appropriate for this.=20
1. After building an Intranet with cmf1.1, I would definitely =
recommend plone - much easier out of the box experience.=20
2. Don't allow anonymous to join the portal (security tab from the =
root of your portal)=20
3. I'm not terribly sure how to do agentA.propertyportal.com, but =
search the archives for sub portals, or have something like apache =
rewrite rules point agentA.propertyportal.com to a page that shows only =
agentA items. Something like agentA.propertyportal.com -> =
index_html?agent=3DagentA. index_html would have a method(s) to use the =
zcatalog, showing only agentA properties.
4a. Modify the image object to store information about a property =
(goto portal_types, create a new type based on image, rename the =
existing properties, create new view and edit methods). May also use =
the CMFPhoto product - I haven't used it before, just the photo product, =
which I like. It allows for image resizing, so the agents could upload =
any sized image, and have the image displayed to users in a consistent =
size.
4b. Or create a new product that has more properties (as in zope =
properties, not land) than the default image type provides. CMFPhoto =
may support this without creating a product - the Photo product does.
Python is pretty easy, it is the integration with zope that is =
sometimes confusing (for me anyway). Definitely read the zope =
developers guide and the zope book before you do much else.
Regarding the (lack of) documentation, there is a wide variety of cmf =
docs out there, just mostly in the mailing lists, so it is disorganized. =
But fortunately the list can point you in the right direction, as you =
have already seen...

Hi,=20
I'm thinking of building web application for a property company.=20
This property company has staffs who works as agent for the company.=20
The company is thinking to have a portal which can do following:=20
-The agents can customize his/her own page -> =
agentA.propertyPortal.com=20
or agentB.propertyPortal.com=20
-The agents can post pictures of his/her properties in his working=20
directory/page.=20
Basically each agent has an independent portal solution which include =
search capabilities.=20
-But if the user logon to the main portal which is =
www.propertyPortala.com=20
the user can search entire properties of the whole agents.=20
My questions:=20
-If I use Zope, shall I use CMF?=20
-Would it be enough to build this type of application only knowing: =
DTML and=20
Python?=20
Can someone judge how long this will take?=20
Consider: -I'm a Java programmer and don't know much about Python=20
-I know DTML and basic Zope.=20
thanks,=20
