Zope Weekly News for May 12th
by ethan mindlace fremen 13 May '01

13 May '01

Zope 2.4 coming faster than you'd expect, Core Session Tracking is good for you, ZShell for the CLI lover, Formulator for form manipulation, and more in this Zope Weekly +1d News The opinions expressed in Zope Weekly News are solely the authors', and not the opinions of Digital Creations, The Zope Community at-large, or the Spanish Inquisition. If you or your company are doing something cool with zope, "submit it to Zope Weekly News", mail:zope-web@zope.org for possible inclusion. ----- Upcoming Events EuroZope Conference The EuroZope crew is organizing a two day Zope only conference in Berlin on the 12th and 13th of July. Those interested in participating should join the discussion on the "EuroZope mailinglist", http://www.comlounge.net/mailman/listinfo/eurozope ----- Zope Shell The "Zope Shell", http://www.zope.org/Members/jerome/zshell is a product that allows you to use unix shell commands to manipulate the ZODB from within Zope's management interface. It has been under extremely heavy development, and aside from letting you do standard unix commands (like ls, cd, mkdir) it has: - restart - shutdown - pack - lrole (lists role) - mkuf (make user folder) - lsprop, delprop, addprop and setprop (all property commands) Check it out - though better with a backup, as it can "possibly destroy your ZODB's contents when not used correctly". ----- Core Session Tracking "Core Session Tracking", http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/Products/CoreSessionTracking allows you to associate data objects with anonymous Zope visitors, allowing you to keep state about an anonymous user between request. It uses four major components to achieve these ends: * Session Id Manager -- This is what determines a remote client's session id, contained in a "session token", which can be a form or cookie variable. The way that the session id gets set is configurable by the site administrator- applications that use sessions will not need to know how the id is set. * Session Data Manager -- This component actually hands session data to interested callers. Applications use methods on session data managers to get the session objects they care about. * Session Data Container -- This is where session data objects are stored. Currently, there are two types: "Internal" session data containers are RAM-based, while "External" ones are persistent Zope objects. Session data containers are also responsible for expiring their session data objects, unless the objects are manually invalidated. * Session Data Object -- This is what an application actually manipulates, once it has been retrieved from a session data manager. This is where the useful information is actually stored. ----- Zope Status by Brian Lloyd Summary Marching on 2.4 and opening CVS Recent News Not too much to report this week - most of the major tasks for Zope 2.4 on Python 2.1 are either complete or nearly so. We are still on target for a May alpha (maybe even earlier than I thought originally). You can look at the 2.4 plan to "follow the status of the 2.4 track", http://dev.zope.org/Resources/zope_240_plan.html The "Zope CVS Migration", http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ZopeCVSMigration/ project is moving along - we are currently working out the requirments for the new repository structure. The needed infrastructure for the public CVS should land this week, and after that there are a number of documentation and coordination tasks. In other Fishbowl news, I've finally gotten status assigned to all of the current proposals, and done editorial review on nearly all of them that were blocked waiting for that. I hope to be caught up with all proposals by the end of next week. ----- Formulator by Martijn Faassen On april 30 Formulator 0.9 was released. This is a complete reimplementation of ZFormulator. Formulator is a flexible and extensible framework for the creation and validation of forms. It integrates well with the Zope management interface. Online help is provided. I'm looking for feedback on Formulator, both from people trying to use it as well as people trying to extend it with new fields in Python. So if you're curious, please go and "check it out", http://www.zope.org/Members/faassen/formulator ----- Zope Web by Ethan Fremen Zope.org enhancement The Zope.org Collaboration Enhancement has received a lot of work this week. Please consider visiting "the project", http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ZopeOrgCollaborationEnhancement/ FrontPage and letting us know what you think! -EOT-

CMFOptions 1.0 with Blark Weblog
by Jeff Sasmor 08 May '01

08 May '01

CMFOptions 1.0 has been released. It includes minor updates to the CMFExtFile and CMFExtImage content types, as well as a new content type called Blark. Blark is a weblog, similar in concept to Squishdot (and it looks a bit like it) but tailored for the CMF. It's not a CMF 'skin', but rather a CMF content object that is instantiated in a Member directory (it can even be the index_html for the member). Blark has been beta tested at http://www.yellowbrain.com/ (where you can try it out as long as that web site remains active) but probably still has a few nits in it. You can read more at: http://www.zope.org/Members/jeffsasmor/CMFOptions/ Enjoy! (sorry for crossposting, but the last time I posted only to zope-announce folks complained. Go figure. ) Jeff Sasmor jeff(a)sasmor.com Check out http://www.naggle.com/

Berleley Storage beta, Zope Book final, Zope 2.4 further ahead than you might think, You should use an ODB - or use SmartObjects so things behave like one, all in this Zope **Weekly** News (really). The opinions expressed in Zope Weekly News are solely the authors', and not the opinions of Digital Creations, The Zope Community at-large, or the Spanish Inquisition. If you or your company are doing something cool with zope, "submit it to Zope Weekly News", mail:zope-web@zope.org for possible inclusion. Upcoming Events Linux Expo Brasil In only 5 days, Paul Everitt will be participating in the Keynote Session at the "Linux Expo Brazil", http://www.linuxexpobrasil.com/EN/home/ , being held on the 9th and 10th of May. EuroZope Conference The EuroZope crew is organizing a two day Zope only conference in Berlin on the 12th and 13th of July. Those interested in participating should join the discussion on the "EuroZope mailinglist", http://www.comlounge.net/mailman/listinfo/eurozope Zope in the Press IBM developerWorks discusses "Zope from the perspective of a Perl/CGI programmer", http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-zope.html?n-l-4261 in a fairly complimentary way. Although it's not specifically about zope, there's a great article called "Why Aren't You Using an Object Oriented Database Management System", http://www.kuro5hin.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2001/5/3/32853/11281 which may be useful the next time someone brings up the "black box" of the ZODB. Speaking of the ZODB... Berkley Database Storage by Ethan Fremen Barry Warsaw and Jeremy Hilton of PythonLabs fame have been hard at work on a new storage for zope. This new storage, using the Berkely database from SleepyCat software, enabling a number of improvements over FileStorage.py. There are several storage implementations, but the one that matches FileStorage's abilities is the "Full" version. This version supports undo, versions, and automatic reference counting garbage collection. -- -mindlace- zopatista community liason
