ANN: New Lockable Folder Product
by Butch Landingin 20 Oct '01

20 Oct '01

Hi all, Its been a while since I released any new zope products but this is something which I think Zopistas might find useful. This is the first release of Lockable Folder, a variant of the Folder that comes with the standard Zope distribution that allows you to lock access to its contents and help minimize URL namespace pollution. This is useful for hiding those Tiny Tables, dtml snippets (e.g. standard_html_header) and python scripts that are called from other objects and should not be exposed via their URLs. Its available at Lockable Folder product release page at http://www.zope.org/Members/butchland/LockableFolder As with any 0.1.0 release, the usual warnings apply, but I hope you all give it a try-out. Regards, Butch Landingin butchland(a)yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo! Personals. http://personals.yahoo.com

Photo 1.2.0 Released
by Ron Bickers 20 Oct '01

20 Oct '01

Photo (and Photo Folder) 1.2.0 has been released. You can download it from Zope.org at http://www.zope.org/Members/rbickers/Photo/, or from Source Forge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/zopephoto/. The most significant change from prior releases is the addition of WebDAV/FTP support. You can now transfer Photos to and from Zope using WebDAV and FTP. The documentation does not yet include this feature, so here's the short version: New image files uploaded to a Photo Folder will be created as a Photo object and will use the default settings and properties provided by the Photo Folder. With the timely release of Zope 2.4.2 (which fixes some WebDAV problems), uploading new Photos will now work with Dreamweaver's WebDAV. It will also work with prior versions of Zope if you use FTP. When you upload to an existing Photo via WebDAV/FTP, all displays are regenerated using the current settings. When you download a Photo, only the original image is transferred. There is also a change in the way Photo settings are stored which requires a simple upgrade process. See UPGRADE.txt for details. Please report problems, requests and praise at Source Forge or via Zope.org feedback. Thanks, and enjoy! _______________________ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc.

zope_messages alpha version released!
by Erik Enge 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

Hi! I'm glad to announce the release of zope_messages version 0.1.0 to the community! What is zope_messages? zope_messages is a messaing client for Zope. (Actually, it could be used without Zope in the future - but that's a different story.) Its architecture is intended to support many (every?) kind of message; nntp, imap, jabber, icq and so on. (How good web interfaces are for all those messages is a different subject.) iMeme¹ needed a new webmail client, and Thingamy² too. Hey presto! New project up and running before you could say "chicken pie with raw potatoes." The mailing list is at http://lists.imeme.net/ - please feel to join, the more the merrier. Getting zope_messages Since this is an alpha release, I haven't added a distribution of the sources on zope.org or any similar place, yet. I expect there will be loads of comments and bugfixes and when I've integrated those (and added a couple of more nice features I'd like to get in there) I'll be publishing the sources. If you are interested in getting them now, just send me an email and I'll tarball it up for you. :-) Check out the demo At http://www.thingamy.com:11000/zope-messages there is an instance up and running just begging to be tested to death. Go on, try it... I know you want to... username: mailtest password: mailtest Brief tutorial Look up the URL. Click "New message" and fill out whatever you like (please do not abuse this - you can send to whom you'd like and the recipient would stand as myself. Any abuse and the demo goes right down - I'm adding a BCC header to each message sent out..). Notice that you can use Noa Harvey's Spellchecker product to spellcheck the messages before you ship them off. To the top right-hand corner of your browser window, you should have a dropdown box. Select "Virtual message container" and press "View". Press "IMAP account at thingamy.com"... you should now see the messages. Cool, huh? WarpFramework I used Morten Petersen's WarpFramework (pick up your copy at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/warp-framework) to have a lot of nitty gritty stuff done for me, and this has made the development of the product easier. The layout comes from the WarpFramework, and is created by Alan Runyan, Alexander Limi and Vidar Andersen. Kudos! Oh, and I thought I'd mention this: this message was sent using zope_messages; if you check out the demo, it's right there in the Outbox. ¹ http://imeme.net/ ² http://www.thingamy.com, http://www.thingamy.net and http://www.thingamy.org

Zope Controller GUI Windows 1.0 release
by Richard Jones 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

Bizar Software is pleased to make available the first release of their Zope Controller GUI for Windows. All functionality is present, but the documentation is lacking. This release is definitely only for people who know their way around their Windows Zope installation. Please read the installation notes (such that they are) carefully! The Windows Zope Controller is a Graphical User Interface for Windows which allows user-friendly control of a Zope server on the local machine. This is a modified version of the controller we will ship with the next version of our Bizar Shop software product. The modification involves the removal of some Shop-specific code that simply doesn't apply to Zope. Screenshots are available at Bizar Software's website (though they are quite out of date at the moment, sorry.) Zope Controller information and download: http://www.zope.org/Members/richard/zope_controller/win/ Bizar Software: http://www.bizarsoftware.com.au/ Richard

Zope-XML lives!
by Martijn Faassen 16 Oct '01

16 Oct '01

Hello everybody, The Zope-XML mailing list has moved to a new home at zope.org. The old mailing list that was hosted at yahoo groups (formerly egroups) has become rather quiet and is now superceded by this new one. Since Zope and XML development is now gearing up again with ParsedXML and the release of XPath Methods, this was a good occasion to move the list. The list is intended to use for discussion of all aspects of Zope/XML infrastructure. Both those who want to use the present infrastructure and those who want to develop it further are welcome. You can subscribe to the new list here: http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-xml I intend to keep things interesting there. :) Regards, Martijn

zwiki 0.9.5 released
by Simon Michael 13 Oct '01

13 Oct '01

ZWiki 0.9.5 released, to get things moving again. Bang on it if you didn't already try 0.9.5pre1. I'm going to keep on with 0.9.x releases until I get a good solid 1.0 feeling. Regards, -Simon 0.9.5 2001-10-13 * the link to an uploaded file or image used to be !-escaped; this is no longer necessary * file upload now requires "Add Documents, Images and Files" permission (was "Add Documents, Files and Images") * fixed zwiki_username_or_ip() so last editor username is saved again * moved zwiki web creation into core python product, so the manual ZWikiWebs import is no longer needed. The sample wikis are now shipped as individual zexp's in ZWiki/import, and are automatically imported to /Control_Panel/Products/ZWiki at product startup. (Install your own sample wikis there as well). /Control_Panel/Products/ZWikiWebs can be deleted. * "add zwiki web" form updates

Come kick some tires, at new.zope.org
by Martijn Pieters 10 Oct '01

10 Oct '01

Hi all, As some of you may know already, we've been hard at work building a new iteration of the Zope.org community website, one based on the CMF. This is an invitation to come and have a look at what we are doing for the new Zope.org server, and have a good kick at the tires. The idea is to get solid feedback from the community to iron out all the wrinkles and bugs that undoubtedly will be in there. You can find the server at: http://new.zope.org/ Please note however, that this is an early preview, and there are several known issues: - If you had a login on Zope.org about 2 months ago, chances are that you won't have to create a new account on new.zope.org; the LDAP database backing the site uses a 2-month old export. If you changed your password but not your email address during this time, the server can email you your password for the new server. If both changed, please email webmaster(a)zope.org for assistance. When we officially switch over, a new export will be created. - Because the current www.zope.org/dev.zope.org combination uses domain-wide cookies (.zope.org) and an incompatible session key, you cannot be logged into www.zope.org if you want to log into new.zope.org as well. Either delete the .zope.org cookie, use the 'Log out' link on www.zope.org, or use a different browser for each site. - Don't make any important changes or new content on new.zope.org and expect them to be retained. All changes to content on new.zope.org will be ignored the next time we migrate over content from the current site. Please file all bugs you find in the new.zope.org tracker at: http://dev.zope.org/Projects/nzot Thanks, and have fun! -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@zope.com | Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ ---------------------------------------------
