Thank you, I want to learn sql and vb I got hung on the permissions that made connections require a password and cant get it figutred out. I really like asp though
 
May or may not be relevant to your work, but I may have found something that will help me a lot in my projects. Treeview in a website. I'm going to try it out, and see what I can do with it. This should definitely be nice on my 'Projects Menu' project. 😀
 
Wolfsraider,

have you considered trying out Zope ?

It's a feature rich CMS which provides everything you seem to be looking for. Learning curve is not that hard to get into it. It seemlessly integrates with mysql, provides security out the box..

All design is via the page template system which is quite easy to pick up. Scripting is done with python which is a simple enough language too.

All in all, a lot more powerful than using php or ASP IMO..

Oh and it's what I'm doing the new version of my stats with....with some ajax mixed in.

I'll be happy to guide you around learning it. There are some very nice tutorials out there, but it's always easier to have someone to ask..

PM me over at the Free-DC boards (I don't get notified here and might miss it) and I'll give you my email

Thank you! I love the new stats (and the old ones) and pm sent!

Zope is nice, I read the manual last night and realize its gonna be a lot to learn. I know css and html to an extent and that part does seem to fit right in. I am worried about the python and javascript the most so I will start reading up on those in my free time this week.

I also need to learn sql lol so yup I got a ways to go, but this looks fantastic, exactly what I was looking for!

Time to play with databases and pulling data WOOT!
 
Yup I see it. Is this under Zope ? Doesn't look like it yet..

Don't worry too much about javascript, you don't actually need it, though it makes a big impact, and really it's not that difficult a language. Most people associate it with Java, which it's not.. If you know any other scripting language like php, then javascript will be a breeze. Python too is much the same..

I can easily give you examples from start to finish.. basically it's as follows

ZPT (Zope Page Template)

Page which fills in the bits you specify in the template

Script which fills in a DIV section from the page

SQL which is called from the script

I'll get you on my dev site in the management interface and show you.

Once you have one of these working, adding more pages is simple.

as for ajax, I use Prototype and Scriptaculous They give me everything I need easily.. 🙂

Its just html, css as yet.

Whoa thank you. I know next to nothing about sql ( I can get around in it but coding it :Q I am reading sams teach yourself book lol) but can manage in php a bit. ( I love sams php mysql in 24 hours but I have a lot to learn) I just want better control and dynamic content as well as search and stats on the site.

I really like these apps! (I havent gotten a chance to see what Prototype is capable of yet)

I have zope running and I put the files in a folder to test what hapens. I am running xxamp alongside so I added port 8080 to the zope address to see if it functioned. Its running thru no ip at the moment as well. Its very basic, but wanted to see how things worked.

I have asp on a dual boot and loved what it does, but its not quite as easy to set permissions on.


I love the Scriptaculous effects, the tree that can open and close, is nice and it worked everytime I tried even after expanding it 4 fold.

I havent tried to run zope on linux thru my paid hosting yet lol not sure how that will go but its fun seeing it all working in windows.

Zopes ability to move data as well as undo changes is a very nice feature. I need to see a few more examples to understand the syntax of it though and I am going to do a lot more reading on object-oriented scripting though.

I like what you have done, Amazing at least in my book!!!

I saw the divs you used as well as the .js files, I know you call the info from other files I just havent a clue how to do that or how to get that added, (cron job to an include then a call from php?) See I have a long way to go!

I will bug you but want to understand the questions I need to ask before that so any reading material you can point me to to soak up will be a blessing!

Thank you for all this, I really appreciate it!

I expect this to take me months or more rather than days/weeks lol so any information you folks could throw my way will be much appreciated. 🙂

In lieu of your sig... w3 schools is a great place to learn about stuff. Their JavaScript and XML stuff have been extremely useful to me, and they do have sections on SQL and PHP. Couldn't find anything there on Python though.

I'm happy--I finally found a good book on InfoPath 2007. 🙂

Wow. The book I found for InfoPath 2007 is impressive. I searched for about an hour at the book store for anything on 3 subjects, and this one is the only one I found. I guess it's good that I didn't find another one as I would have stopped looking and never found the one I did.
