How-To

Contents:

• Access rights
  To define access rights globally and specifically.

• Import/Export/XML-interfaces
  The import/export possibilities of ZMS allow rapid setup of great content quantities. The XML import and export interface can be enhanced by own interfaces.

• Comfortable Editing
  ZMS provides different approaches for editing texts that should be choosen depending on the targeted use of the text streams.

• Automatic Tables of Contents
  The navigation of a website is generated through so-called TOC-Lists (table of content); ZMS provides various functions for generating object lists.

• Links
  The link model of ZMS pictures hyperlinks bidirectional and consistent: since only the link object defines object relations via the object-IDs, the use of the link object instead of the coding of A-elements is primarily recommended for the (internal) linking.

• Special Configurations of the ZMS System
  High-resolution images, PDF print version, search etc. ZMS provides diverse configuration options for system optimisation.

• Multilingualism

• Design, Layout and Navigation

• Integration and Operation of the Zope/ZMS-Framework

• Creating Print Variants

• ZMS Data Tables
  ZMS provides two approaches for integrating database-like information: 1. the standard object 'SQL data source' allows direct access to external data sources, whereas 2. the ZMS data tables element represents a simple, efficient modelling tool for smaller 'database-applications'. The ZMS data table is XML-based and makes use of the XML functions of Python.

• Document Template Markup Language (DTML)
  Exemplary codes around DTML

• Customisation of the Search templates resp. the Indexing
