Pre-Announce: Mailbag Mail Archiving Product
by Tres Seaver 23 Dec '99

23 Dec '99

I have a new SoftwareProduct, MailBag, up on my zope.org page: http://www.zope.org/Members/tseaver/Mailbag The intent of the product is to make it possible to catalog the [Zope] and [Zope-dev] archives so that I can search them using full text indexing -- Amos has/had a primitive version of this up on the 12080 port at www.zope.org, but I wanted to tackle a reasonable Python product for myself. >From the README: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mailbag Readme This product packages a couple of Python classes for managing mail archives: **MailMessage** -- parses an RFC822-compliant message into headers and body; makes most commonly-used headers available as named properties. (Uses the Python rfc822 module to parse the message). **MailFolder** -- a simple, Folderish container for MailMessages. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- >From the TODO list: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mailbag ToDo's (0.01) Known Bugs * (none) Questions * My Zope Zen is missing on at least a couple of cylinders when it comes to making a "folderish" product in Python -- I don't understand *why* the code in MailFolder is working, where several previous incarnations didn't. Specifically, the meta_types and all_meta_types() of MailFolder seem to interfere with the global meta_types! Enhancements * Handle MIME / UUEncoded messages. * Optionally store the whichHeaders preference in a cookie (currently passed as a URL parameter). * Sample ZClient script for automatic load from MTA. * Cross-reference MailMessages to enable following threads. * Add method, threadList(), to MailFolder, enumerating top-level threads. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Please have a look if this product might interest you -- I'd like a little preliminary feedback before kicking it out to the general Catalog. Also, if anyone feels sufficiently Zen enough, could somebody please post a lucid HowTo on creating Folderish products? (I guess I'm volunteering, only I need my Zen level raised a bit first). Thanks! -- ========================================================= Tres Seaver tseaver(a)palladion.com 713-523-6582 Palladion Software http://www.palladion.com

Re: How can I modify the Zsql search interface?

What I use to do is first make a search interface and then modify it to suit my needs (remove search fields, add hidden fields, do some data mangling in the report, add conditionals etc). Usually it ends up quite different than it started ;-). I think this is the easiest way. It probably is the most secure way also, because you have something working to start with and can go forward from that. If you have sophisticated needs to change your result sets, you may consider using python classes to chew on them first. I never found a need for that yet, though. Hope this helps Rik

Possible bug in ZCatalog?
by Harry Henry Gebel 22 Dec '99

22 Dec '99

I am running Zope 2.1.1 on a Mandrake Linux 6.1 system with the include Python 1.5.2 . While going through the steps in the XML Document article at http://www.xml.com/pub/1999/12/zope/index.html I got to the "Configuring a ZCatalog" section. When I typed getNodeName()=='entry' into the "expr" field I got two NameError exceptions lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/ZCatalog.py . The names that where unknown where Eval and expr_globals. A quick look at the top of ZCatalog.py revealed that they where not being being imported so I added the line from DocumentTemplate.DT_Util import Eval, expr_globals to the imports. After adding this line I no longer got an exception when pressing the "Find" button. The search came up with no results instead of the two predicted in the article. I am not familiar with XML Documents or ZCatalogs, so I do not know if this is another problem with ZCatalog, a problem with XML Document or the article, or if I have missed a step somewhere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Harry Henry Gebel ICQ# 43675297 West Dover Hundred, Delaware John McCain for President in 2000 http://www.mccain2000.com

Re: [Zope-dev] Two Puzzling Questions.
by Clayton Miller 21 Dec '99

Thanks Anthony. The answer you gave me for the first question worked like a champ! I did have to change my dtml-var "dtmlmethod-2" to a dtml-call RESPONSE.redirect('dtmlmethod-2'). Other than that it worked GREAT! The second question however, I can not change the target attribute as some of the responses should go into "Main" frame and this one into the "Menu" frame. I wonder if there was a way to manipulate the HTML Header in the RESPONSE object to specify TARGET="Menu"?
