Hi . I have encounter the problerm the same as me.When I changed my project from the normal platform to Zope.The Path is a big problerm.

getting Zap to work with cgi-bin directory
by Michael Olivier 15 Nov '99

15 Nov '99

Hi folks, We've got Zope and Zap running but are having trouble with Zap's cgi-bin directory. Specifically, we're wanting to run some pcgi/bobo stuff but can't get even the perl test scripts (printenv, test-cgi) to work. >From the error log I can see that it's mapping /localhost/cgi-bin to /usr/local/zope/Zap/htdocs/cgi-bin/ -- it's looking for cgi-bin below htdocs. I'd like to have it as a sibling directory with htdocs. If I actually put it inside htdocs (htdocs/cgi-bin), it displays the scripts but doesn't execute them. I tried adding this to the zap.conf file: <Directory /usr/local/zope/Zap/cgi-bin> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI </Directory> ...but this didn't seem to have any effect... Can someone advise please on how to debug this situation? Doesn't zap come preconfigured for cgi-bin use, or not? Many thanks, Michael

URL's go all funny now :( Hi Anthony, I installed new code today which causes old pages to be rendered as structured text. Switch to HTML/DTML to get the old behaviour, if you're still having trouble. I should have written some code to switch all the old pages over but it was too much hassle. -Simon

Patch Submitted: Setting SERVER_NAME through the environment
by Bill Anderson 14 Nov '99

14 Nov '99

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I submited a patch to teh collector to allow you to set an environment variable SERVER_NAME for zope, rather than having to manually hardcode on into Zserver/medusa/http_server.py as mentioned earlier. It is a simple patch that seems to work fine for me. I don't believe anything breaks, YMMV ;-) On a related note, are you guys at Digicool notified when someone submits a bugrep/reaturereq _with_ patch, making these kind of announcements really unneccesary? Another note: It would be nice if we could have a file upload option for the patch, as opposed to copy-pasting into a small field window :-) Well, off for more Zoping around .. :-) -- "They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers.

Post Zope 2.1 roadmap?
by Andrew M. Kuchling 14 Nov '99

14 Nov '99

My curiosity has been roused, after debugging yet another hack of mine to make a Zope package coexist with an outside extension of the same name: what's the roadmap for packagizing Zope, which I understood to be a long-term aim? Not in 2.1, obviously; 2.2, maybe? -- A.M.

ANN: VisualZope 0.1alpha
by Anthony Pfrunder 14 Nov '99

14 Nov '99

Hi, VisualZope 0.1a is now available! It has the following features: * Included "GeoCities" watermark example widget * Two behaviours - draggable and resizeable (resizing may not occur) * Extensive code streamlining and documentation in tutorial format (the README_txt files) It should be easy to create simple floating and inline widgets with this version. A static (non-active) version of the UI is provided under the Editor tag. Note, behaviours cannot be recursive at the moment. Further info is available at: http://163.182.196.200/zwiki/VisualZope (download via the "available" link) Cheers, Anthony Pfrunder

Re: [Zope] DTML Syntax contd. + rant
by Ethan Fremen 13 Nov '99

13 Nov '99

Here's my take: When my bid was accepted to redesign the site I'm working on, I settled on Zope instead of PHP (it compiled without error.) I knew nothing about Python or Zope. Now I'm happily using Zope and I just got Learning Python. I'm not very far into it, but just learning some of the basics I'm starting to realize how close to the surface Python is. I would love to see Python Methods take over more of the "engine" behavior from DTML. I assume, however, that ngDTML would still include things like <dtml-in>, otherwise I'll pull my hair out. I also think there's some things that can/should be pushed elsewhere- REQUEST.set is a good example- I get a content-type for images, why not let me do that with other objects? Maybe the drop-down list of properties could be like the object-selection, so you could add new property types (content-type, tinytable...) Simultaneously, the last thing I want to see is for HTML to get imbedded in python. I used a Perl module where I built forms programmatically, and I don't want to go back to that. I've spent most of my time on this project getting out from under some developer who thought implementing HTML in javascript was a good idea. I'm also frustrated with things like TreeTag.py that imbed HTML into them, not allowing me to change their output to fit my fancy. I don't really have a problem with PythonMethods being scattered throuought my hierarchy: indeed, if they live with aquisition the same as everybody else, this could be quite useful. (as an aside, I'd like to be able to use factories like this, so that certain objects are only creatable at certain places in the hierarchy) Perhaps if DTML has a consistent method of dealing with things passed to/from npythonMethods, and a way of invoking them (dtml-call?), they would be more used. I know I stay as far away from the _ stuff as I can. If I have to use one of those _[blarg._['foo']] things, i copy it from someone else and hope that it works. It sure reminds me of something somebody called another language- "executable line noise". anyway, python seems to me to be a transparent enough language that there's no compelling need to obfuscate it for things it does well enough already. Plus, the "closer" python is in the upgrade path from content manager -> developer -> zope source contributor, the sooner you'll have more of the latter. wannabe zope hacker, -- Ethan "mindlace" Fremen you cannot abdicate responsibility for your ideology.

ZDOM BUGS: Anyone know a workaround?
by Anthony Pfrunder 13 Nov '99

13 Nov '99

Hi, I've found two bugs in the ZDOM (Zope/Lib/Python/Ofs/ZDOM.py) and was wondering if someone knew a workaround. 1 - getAttributes() only returns attributes of type string, not tokens, selections etc. Example: * Add some properties of various types to a ZClass instance * Add the following to a Python Method of the ZClass: parameters: self, REQUEST t = '' for i in self.getAttributes(): t = t + i.getNodeName() + ',' + i.getNodeValue() return t * View the Python Method of the zclass instance (ie tryit) 2 - REQUEST throws "Unauthorized access" for objects stuffed into it. Even as superuser you get the unauthorized message. Example: * Create an XML document (myxml) in the ZClass * Create a Python Method: parameters: self, REQUEST REQUEST.set('node', self.myxml.getFirstNode()) return self.dump(REQUEST) * Create a DTML Method (dump): <dtml-var "node.getNodeName()"> * View the Python Method of the ZClass (ie TryIt) Anyone?
