I have no problems when it comes to communicating with the database take out rows, update, add, the basic stuff. The problems comes when I want to do something with the data that I get. No problems on presenting the data writing xslt's and generating pages from xml files. That part I think works porfectly and is the reason why I whan't to lear more about cocoon. But when you whant to costumize the webapp abit more like generators I'm lost. The level of knoledge you need to proceed with that is huge and the tutorials often miss parts like filenames of files that are created and wich files he is working on (editing). Small things that is so important when you are new to things like a compleat framework. Something concrete is for example you get a value from the database and you whant to multiply it with another value that you also get from the db. To me it sounds like I have missed something essential. If I have missed somthing that makes me go Haha I might go with cocoon but as it is now cocoon is taking to much time to learn for me to make some progres before the summer of code is over. regards Thomas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
