a tool to create dynamic content in pages

[Nicolas Rod <ni...@adm.unige.ch>]

Hi all,

I have developed a tool for the University of Geneva to access databases 
from Lenya. It allows inserting dynamic content within static content 
in  Lenya pages.

The idea is first to create connections and requests in an interface, 
and then to add a special tag in your Lenya pages to insert the fetched 
result. The presentation is made through a XSL stylesheet.

We thought it could be useful to everyone. Accordingly, if you are 
interested, you can find the project (called LenyaDB) here:

  http://lnxweb1.unige.ch/lenya/wiki/index.php/LenyaDB

The documentation is quite rough, but you will find there the procedure 
to install it on the default Lenya publication.

Hope this might be useful.
Best regards,
Nicolas

absolutely. this helps a lot to figure out what people are doing with 
databases. i think we should have a simple database integration sample 
in lenya

very cool! i especially like the screenshots :)

building one-off queries is an often requested feature, so it would make 
sense to build on this (maybe as a plugin, once we figure out how to do 
this)

i would be interested to hear what your main problems were, and how you 
solved them (maybe better on the dev list)
