ZOPE News
## Choosing Plone»The UK's Ministry of Defence's Defence Academy says it chose Plone and Zope, an open source content management system and supporting application server, for the software's functionality, not its negligible cost« [via ZopeZen] ## Plone Desktop »Plone Desktop is the first extensible Microsoft Windows Explorer integration available for the Plone platforms.« ## Zope X3 3.0.0 release candidate available First Zope X3 release candidate available. [via Zope.org] ## Checkoutable Templates »CheckoutableTemplates allows you to make exceptions to DTMLFile and PageTemplateFile attributes of a Python product. This is highly usable if you have an instance of a Python product class, and you want to change some little thing in one of its templates.« ## The Definitive Guide to Plone Ein Plone-Buch welches online einsehbar ist. Ich konnte es noch nicht lesen - sieht aber recht brauchbar aus. ## Union.CMS Die Gewerkschaften entwickeln offensichtlich zur Zeit ein eigenes CMS auf Basis von Zope: »Das Projekt union.cms ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt von ver.di, DGB, NGG und TRANSNET. Unser Ziele ist die Entwicklung eines freien Content-Management-Systems für große Organisationen im Non-Profit-Bereich - vor allem Gewerkschaften. Das Projekt union.cms ist ein Community-Projekt, an dem sich jede/r beteiligen kann. union.cms wird unter den Bedingungen der GPL veröffentlicht.« ## Zope X3 beta 1 veröffentlicht »Zope X3 is the next major Zope release and has been written from scratch based on the latest software design patterns and the experiences of Zope 2. The "X" in the name stands for "experimental", since this release does not try to provide any backward-compatibility to Zope 2.« Mit der ersten Beta wurde Zope X3 eingefroren, so dass Entwickler beginnen können Software mit Zope X3 zu entwickeln. ## Plone Foundation & Computer Associates Der Softwareriese Computer Associates steigt in das Open Source Projekt Zope ein. Die Planung ist die eigene relationale Datenbank Ingres (nun auch Open Source) zum primären Repository für Zope-Objekte (an Stelle von ZODB) zu machen. Gleichzeitig wurde die Plone Foundation gegründet, welche ebenfalls von Computer Associates unterstützt wird. Was wie eine feindliche Übernahme aussieht soll laut Robert Boulanger -nunmehr einer der Direktoren der Plone Foundation- ein Gewinn sowohl für die Zope Community als auch für CA sein: alle Projekte bleiben Open Source und CA liefert sogar neue Technologie für diese Heirat. Eine informative Seite von CA ist hier: http://ca.com/opensource ## Big Business Zope  Computer Associates unterstützt Zope. »Auf seiner Hausmesse CAWorld kündigte Computer Associates eine Kooperation mit der Zope Corporation an, die hinter dem freien, in Python implementierten Application-Server Zope steht. Gemeinsam wollen die beiden Unternehmen Zope an die relationale Datenbank Ingres anbinden, um so die bisher genutzte, auf einfachen Dateien basierende ZODB zu ersetzen.« [Golem.de]Dazu paßt folgende Meldung der CNET News: CA open-sources Ingres database. »Computer Associates International made a major commitment to open-source software development on Monday, announcing a plan to "open" its Ingres database and outlining partnerships with other open-source projects. Computer Associates also outlined plans to collaborate with existing open-source projects and the software they create, including Java server software from JBoss, the Zope Web content management system, and the Plone document management software. Computer Associates' BrightStor storage management product, BrightStor Document Manager, will use the Plone document management software, and CA will contribute code and people to the Plone project. Similarly, Computer Associates will create closer integration between the Zope content-management software and its Ingres database.« Die weitere Entwicklung wird auf jeden Fall spannend. [Daily Python-URL! (from the Secret Labs)] [Der Schockwellenreiter] ## External Editor 0.7.2 out »Everyone's favourite editing tool has been updated.« [ZopeZen] ## Das habe ich doch schon lange gesucht! Implementing backlinks in ZOPE. Ausdrucken! [article via Der Schockwellenreiter] ## WYSIWYG-Editor für Zope »The Epoz team is proud to present the beta of the Epoz client-side WYSIWYG editor. Epoz is a JavaScript application that can be used in Internet Explorer (version 5.5 and up) and Mozilla (version 1.3.1 and up, and since the Mozilla engine is used by Netscape and some other browsers, those are supported as well). Epoz can be used stand-alone but is geared towards usage with Zope, integration code for Zope 2, Zope 3 and Silva is available in the package, Plone support is expected in the 1.1 release.« [Der Schockwellenreiter] Funktioniert aber nur mit den angegebenen Browsern. ## CMS und Zope »Reinhard Holler hat eine Diplomarbeit über Zope geschrieben: (Konzept und Einsatz eines Content-Management-Systems am Beispiel der WWW-Präsenz der FH-Augsburg) und sie dankenswerterweise auch gleich ins Netz gestellt.« [Der Schockwellenreiter] ## Zope und Streaming Media »Media File System is a simple product that provides a Zope interface to a HTTP media streaming folder. It's based on (and requires) the LocalFS product. The product currently supports .ra, .rm and .mp3 files; whenever a new file is created, the original file is hidden from the management interface, and a player file is created and shown instead.« [Der Schockwellenreiter] ## Zope und SVG ZSVG Graph 1.0.0 released. [Der Schockwellenreiter] ## Ape 0.7.1 Zope Object Mapping Framework »Ape (short for Adaptable Persistence) adapts Zope objects to storage on the filesystem, in relational databases, or practically anywhere else. It combines the advantages of transparent object persistence with arbitrary databases and formats. It is especially designed to work with ZODB, but can work independently of both Zope and ZODB. At this time, Ape comes with two default mapper configurations, a Zope2-filesystem mapper and a Zope2-SQL mapper. These mappings demonstrate Ape and provide the pattern for creating your own mapper configuration. The SQL mapper can connect to PostgreSQL or a transactions-enabled version of MySQL.« ## Zope 3 Jon Udell: Revisiting Zope. [Der Schockwellenreiter] Zitat: »Zope supports the company's consulting and training services and is the platform for layered commercial products. These include Zope4Media, a content management system for print and broadcast media (used, most notably, by Boston.com), and Zope Z4I (Zope4Intranets),an advanced intranet portal toolkit that's delivered along with a four-day training course. For two days last week I attended that course, which was taught by ace Zope developer and trainer Casey Duncan.<br/>As with many portal systems, Z4I enables users to rearrange the portlets shown on their home pages and to vary the views displayed within them. By default, a user's home page includes a portlet that displays recently added documents. Another student in the class wondered how to create a view to count recently added documents by type. Duncan built the view on the spot and wrote so little code to do it that I was able to mirror his solution into my own instance of Z4I as he typed. « ## Jeffrey Shell on Zope 2.7 »Jeffrey Shell does a much better job than I did explaining why the installation and configuration changes introduced with Zope 2.7 are a good idea and a big improvement over the old way of doing things.« [ZopeNewbies] ## XMLRPCMethod 1.1 - now with caching The XMLRPC Method product provides support for remote procedure calls with the XML-RPC standard. This has been done before on Zope.org, but this product is in my opinion better documented and times out if the remote server is unresponsive. An additional optimization technique is to use the RAM Cache Manager to cache the results for minutes or hours. Try it. It really makes XMLRPC feasible. ## Epoz 0.3.0 released - a wysiwyg-editor for Zope & Plone - Do you want a wysiwyg-editor for Zope and Plone, which works with Mozilla and InternetExplorer? Have a look at "Epoz":http://www.zope.org/Members/mjablonski/Epoz. - Do you want to play with Epoz? Please visit the "Epoz-Test-Suite on freezope.org":http://mjablonski.freezope.org/epoz/test.html/edit. What is new? Epoz is now shipped with a default toolbox for Plone. So you can insert Links and Images simply by navigating your site. With Epoz Plone becomes usable even for unexperienced users...:) Epoz 0.3.0 released - a wysiwyg-editor for Zope & Plone [Zope.org] ## PABlog 1.3 The latest and greatest release of the blog tool for CMF. Archiving is derived from CMFCalendar, installer script and documentation make setup a breeze (I think). Enjoy. It's here PABlog 1.3 [Zope.org] ## Open Source CMS Ein Bericht von Mike Sugarbaker über die Open Source Content Management Conference. Lesenswert. Sieg nach Punkten geht seiner Meinung nach an Plone. [Der Schockwellenreiter] ## TextIndexNG 1.09 released »TextIndexNG is a new pluggable index for the ZCatalog and is the most feature complete solution for fulltext inexing under Zope.« [Der Schockwellenreiter] ## ExtZSQL Initial Release »ExtZSQL provides support for more elegantly using SQL in Python Products and a through-the-web type for using SQL queries on the local file system.« [Zope.org] ## fcForum - ZClass Based Message Board Product »"Fxing" available full-blown message board products for Zope, so they'd have the "look and feel" that I wanted, was so hard (color definitions everywhere inside the code, specific hardcoded font sizes, poor compliance with web standards, etc, etc) that I'd be better off writing one of my own. fcForum is compact, web-standards compliant, clean and fast, it does not require a database back-end (such as the PHP based forums, or MySQL ones), Zope has a super-fast relational, object-oriented, transactional database (ZODB) embeeded in it, that all it required was the code to put it to work.« ## Using Plone for the new zope.org website »This is an Open Letter adressed to the Community and to Zope Corporation and the decisionmakers in the New Zope.Org project. My name is Robert Boulanger, and I'm CEO and co-founder of BlueDynamics GmbH.« ## Plone 1.0 Release Candidate 2 available
## MozTop Paul Everitt shows off MozTop. [ZopeZen] ## AdaptableStorage for ZOPE "AdaptableStorage lets you store ZODB objects in your own database and in your format, without using special content classes. You can use a filesystem directory, a relational database, or whatever kind of database you might have as a ZODB." ## Zope 3X Alpha 1 released What is Zope 3x? It's Zope 3 "experimental". This is the release that will provide the new features of Zope 3 without any Zope 2 support. Zope 3.0 will provide support for Zope 2 content and products, probably using conversion utilities of some sort. ## Amphora Calendars, Tasks, Contacts, Workflow Virtual Office and Intranet CRM and Sales Force Automation Groupware Collaboration Intranet and Extranet Fully Browser Based Document Management Project Management Simple Web Databases Web-based Email SMS ## DZUG TREFFEN 2003 IN BERLIN ## Zope vs. Cocoon "This paper compares and contrasts the features of two web-based document publishing environments: Zope and Cocoon (a Java servlet, typically used in an environment such as Apache and Tomcat). The paper explores the strengths and weaknesses of the two environments with respect to the creation of intranet web portals and other solutions related to the problem of document management." ## Localizer für ZOPE Dieses Produkt für ZOPE erlaubt es Inhalte in einer ZOPE-Site in mehreren Sprachen zu definieren. Die Methoden liefern dann den passenden Text entsprechend der im Browser definierten »preferred language«. ## RDFCalendar: Syndication of events Imagine, that you have a calendar on your website. Imagine then that this calendar can be set up to automatically grab announcements of events from the Zope website - letting know when the next Python/Open Source conference is - or the next IRC chat with Jim Fulton - or the release schedule for a new book. This is what the RDFCalendar will provide. ## CMFPortlets Mit CMFPortlets lassen sich auf personalisierten Seiten innerhalb einer CMF Website vom Benutzer Boxen mit News von verschiedensten Quellen anlegen (vergleichbar zu den Channel-Boxen unter http://my.netscape.com). Es liesse sich damit eine benutzerdefinierte Startseite für ein Intranetsystem zusammenstellen. ## Inaugural Zope 3 Mini-Newsletter Neues von ZOPE 3 in einem Post in der Zope3-dev Mailing-Liste ## ZOPE 2.6.0 Heute wurde eine neue Release von ZOPE veröffentlicht: Version 2.6.0 ## Zope Links auf Heise.de http://www.heise.de/ix/artikel/1999/08/064/ http://www.heise.de/ix/artikel/2001/10/060/ http://www.heise.de/ix/artikel/1999/08/064/ [...] ## Eine Liste von Erweiterungsideen für ZOPE This is where project proposals are developed according to the fishbowl process. You can add a new proposal here by editing the Wiki page (please follow the WritingAGoodProposal guidelines). Note that if your proposal becomes a real live project you should move the proposal to your project and unlist it here. See RecentChanges for new stuff. ## CMF Tools Einige Tools für das CMF (Content Management Framework). ## PropertyObject "PropertyObject and his new folderish friend PropertyFolder allow you to create zmi-based database applications with the help of AbracadabraObject within few minutes." ## ESMTP MailHost "This is a replacement for MailHost which gives you ESMTP access (username/password)." Tim hatte vor einiger Zeit danach gefragt: Jetzt gibt es offenbar eine Zope Erweiterung für loginbasierten STMP-Mailversand. ## Deutsche Zope User Group (DZUG) Informationen rund um das erste DZUG Treffen am 31.
