Accessing the data

A simple search interface to get a record by the person name.

Our search requires:

  • a new Form Folder with a single String Field
  • a ZSQL Method to retrieve the data
  • a DTML Method to list the results that match the query
  • another DTML Method do display all data from one record
  • a small army of ZSQL Methods to retrieve all data related to one person


If somehow we could use Plone for this (ZCatalog?), maybe it could be made simpler. This way it works fine, but you have to code the page templates for the results yourself. If anyone is interested, a Plone Product to take care of this would be welcome :)
