The content scheduling is a bit different from TaskKit. Think of it more like scheduling a television show to run on a particular channel for a particular time. The schedule requires both start and end times and provides a dictionary of arguments which define the content for display in a specific location within the site. Rather than the scheduler kicking off tasks to change display, the display mechanism asks the schedule for it's own content. This way the work associated with switching content happens organically.
However, I would like to interface with TaskKit to kick off Admin-initiated changes which maintain the schedule. Right now, the content schedule is persistently stored in the db and cached at runtime. We rely on prefined times for the schedule to pick up the latest admin changes from the db. It'd be nice to employ TaskKit to make these changes on the fly. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tom Schwaller Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 3:29 PM To: Ben Parker Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Webware-discuss] A few patches Ben Parker wrote: > > Second that.

Do you use TaskKit or do you implement the scheduling yourself.. -- Tom Schwaller [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.python.de _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
