Virtual Host Folder beta 0.2.0
by Gary Poster 02 Jan '02

02 Jan '02

The VirtualHostFolder product, based on some nuts and bolts of the SiteAccess Virtual Host Monster by Evan Simpson and modified by iMeme, provides tools for modifying the traversal of Zope in such a way as to provide for multi-site hosting in Zope. * 0.2.0: A major, major revision, incorporating several incremental developmental stages. 0.2.0 is probably less stable and more buggy than 0.1.1. Design-wise, however, this is much nearer to final release. * Added the ability to have aliases by host, with very full-featured set-up options. * better-thought-out breadcrumbs-friendly API to VHF * Added an Evaluate tab (and changed the install routine) so that you can install the VHF while VHM is already in use (IMEME-IMPROVED VERSION OF VHM ONLY!! the evaluate tab will actually still work just fine with the older version, but your Apache set-up will be different). In this situation, the VHF is off on installation. You can then use the Evaluate tab to switch back and forth between the VHF and the iMeme- improved VHM safely (in my own testing, at least). * Testing tab now allows full URLs, including paths, so you can see how the path will be changed on traversal (including aliases), and also see (some of) what the new breadcrumbs-friendly API will spit back at you. * Settled down on thorough system of component interfaces for all pertinent classes (in both the Fakers and the VHF modules) * Did security and packaging in a more standard way * Factored out the lightweight fake folder functionality used by the VHF into a Fakers product * Tree tag support for FakeFolders means that sub-elements of the VHF are accessible through the tree on the left side of the management interface.

ZCGI - Run CGI-BIN Scripts directly under Zope!
by Adrian Hungate 31 Dec '01

31 Dec '01

ZCGI has been written to address one of the only major holes in Zope - The lack of access to CGI-BIN scripts! I know you *can* run CGI-BIN scripts on an Apache or IIS *infront* of Zope, but Zope is a pretty cool webserver, and for Intranet or small Internet projects, the additional hassle of installing and configuring two webservers, just to run CGI can sometimes lead people to avoid Zope infavor of systems that run directly on Apache. This product removes this last hurdle and lowers the bar for small and very small systems. You can get ZCGI here - http://www.zope.org/Members/haqa/ZCGI Please note: This product has only had very limited testing - I am looking for people with a wide variety of systems to help me prove this works! Enjoy! Adrian... -- The clever combatant looks to the effect of combined energy, and does not require too much from individuals.

ANNOUNCE: Zope 2.5.0 beta 3 released
by Brian Lloyd 23 Dec '01

23 Dec '01

Just in time for the holidays, Zope 2.5 beta 3 has been released. Get it quick while there is still time to put it under the tree! :) You can download Zope 2.5 beta 3 from Zope.org: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.5.0b3/ The 2.5 beta 3 release contains fixes for a potential hanging situation in ZServer, as well as updates to resolve segfaults that could happen in certain situations. While most of the problem was in the way that Python Script objects were being compiled, note that there is also a known issue in Python 2.1 itself that can cause a segfault in certain situations. As a result, binary releases of 2.5 beta 3 bundle the latest Python 2.1 maintenance fixes from CVS. The Zope 2.5.0 final release is expected to bundle the Python 2.1.2 final release, expected soon. If you are compiling your own Zope from the source distribution, you should be sure to build and run it with Python 2.1.2 when it comes out. In the meantime, we advise that you build and run Zope with the Python 2.1 maintenance branch from the Python public CVS to ensure that you have all of the latest fixes. For more information on what is new in this release, see the CHANGES.txt and HISTORY.txt files for the release: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.5.0b3/CHANGES.txt http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.5.0b3/HISTORY.txt For more information on the available Zope releases, guidance for selecting the right distribution and installation instructions, please see: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Misc/InstallingZope.html Brian Lloyd brian(a)zope.com Software Engineer 540.361.1716 Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com

zope.org wikis subscribable
by Ken Manheimer 18 Dec '01

18 Dec '01

In the interest of making it easier to track the development collaboration going on in zope.org wikis, you can now subscribe to email notifications about changes to any of the wiki pages. Some of you may have noticed that the all zope.org wiki page footers have grown a "Subscriptions" link in the past few days. This takes you to a page where logged-in visitors can subscribe and unsubscribe to notifications about changes of that particular page, to current and future offspring of the page, and/or to changes of all pages in the wiki. We've basically finished the implementation and have tested a bit, and it looks ready to roll. The zope.org wikis have proven to be very effective in enabling people to help formulate and comment on development efforts. However, as their use has grown, and it's become easier for people to contribute feedback eg by commenting, it has gotten much too hard for anyone to keep an eye on the items that interest them. We're expecting that email notifications will correct this, by providing active, immediate notifications about changes directly to the subscriber. In the interest of making the notifications, themselves, manageble, we've tried to put information in the headers for easy sorting/foldering. See the NotificationFormat page in the project wiki for details: http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/FishbowlNotificationsForNow/Noti… We also want to make it easy to keep track of and disable your existing subscriptions. We were able to do that for per-page subscriptions by cataloging them in a special site index, with a link on the subscriptions page launches to a search which identifies all the page-specific subscriptions for your userid. Unfortunately, the current implementation does not allow for cataloging the wiki-wide folder subscriptions - you'll have to track those down as you get notices for them. We'll be getting new experience with notifications for large numbers of users, so some adjustment may be necessary as we see the usage scale. We'll be posting followups here as relevant. (This addition of notifications was implemented with only a small time window, possible because we could use code that simon michael recently developed for the original ZWiki (on which zope.org's WikiForNow is based). The give and take between ZWiki and WikiForNow has been very good - i know it's been beneficial for zope.org and zope corp, and understand that ZWiki has benefitted from work done in WikiForNow. It's a good collaboration - thanks simon!) -- Ken klm(a)zope.com
