I've set up a minimal Wiki. I don't really know how wikis & security work on zope.org, but I'm assuming every member has edit privileges? If not somebody tell me how to fix that. http://www.zope.org/Members/aez/Packaging/FrontPage ttfn!

Zope object oid's
by Jason Spisak 12 May '00

12 May '00

Zopesters, Do zope objects have oid's at some low level? I believe I remember seeing it somewhere on how to retrieve them. I am curious as to how the ZODB knows the given state of an object. Does is ask the storage for the oid? In looking at the current implementation in DB.py, I imagine that only one storage is allowed. Would it be possible to load a single storage that was actually a python object used for the root that maintained a collection of files? BTW, I have been looking for the RelationalStorage/MultiFileStorage Wiki to no avail. It's not at WikiCentral. -- Jason Spisak 444(a)hiretechs.com

The idea of a non-DTML-parsed document is a good one, but I don't like this talk of "hacking" or "removing" DTML documents, methods, etc. You will never get acceptance for that. Just offer the new product type and make sure it can be used everywhere DTML Documents can be used, probably by subclassing it. It would be a nice idea for the MIME type to be settable as a predefined property. You should also make sure that these "Non-DTML Documents" can be pulled into DTML Methods and Documents via <dtml-var> or the equivalent. It would be useful to allow users to edit snippets for inclusion in larger DTML assemblies.

>>> Chris Withers wrote > Does that mean 2.2 is going to break SiteAccess?! :( No, I suspect it means Evan hasn't updated SiteAccess yet. SiteAccess hacks into the request handling and traversal code in a fairly brutal way - the recent changes to traversal and security have no doubt broken this. Anthony

Believe me, I'm > pushing this as hard as I can. ah. I see the problem. pushing something on a treadmill is rarely effective. hop off the treadmill, and harness a team of mutant mice to power the treadmill. works for me. it-was-late-and-I-was-tired'ly yrs, Anthony

But let me explain why I used XML-RPC: > ZPublisher.Client > always returns it's results a string, while XML-RPC pickles > Python objects > into XML and then unpickles them back into Python objects. While I understand what you mean, this isn't entirely accurate. XML-RPC doesn't use the pickle module. It marshals return values into one of its known datatypes. It likewise can't handle arbitrary objects transparently.

HTML Document?
by Chris Withers 12 May '00

12 May '00

Hi, I was wondering if there is some such thing as a HTML Document, ie: one in which no DTML is parsed. There's a couple of reasons I'm asking: 1. I remember the most confusing thing when I started using Zope was 'what the hell do I select from that add dropdown list to get a web page?' DTMl document/method scared me 'cos I didn't know what they meant. Had there been an HTML document, I would have been a lot more comfortable ;-) 2. It would provide a 'safer' object for users of a site to add. I'd be much happier to let site users/members create a document if I knew they couldn't put DTML in it and start breaking my site ;-) Thinking about this, it should be dead simple to do as a product, so if people think it's a good idea, I'll go ahead and do it :-) cheers, Chris

warning: current SiteAccess (1.0.1) breaks current CVS Zope.
by Anthony Baxter 12 May '00

the current SiteAccess product (1.0.1) breaks the current CVS Zope. make sure you remove it from the lib/python/Products directory. If you don't, you'll see errors like 'unexpected keyword argument validated_hook'. Anthony

Zope client? (invitation for developers)
by Lalo Martins 12 May '00

12 May '00

Hi, Yesterday I downloaded and tried out zopeshell - a simple ZPublisher.Client python script. It's very cool and promises a lot if development continues. Then I figured, why not a GUI client along the same principles? I fired up glade and python-gnome and started to design an interface. If you have these, you can see a mockup at http://terra.hackandroll.org/lalo/zope/gnope/ I started a SourceForge project for gnope (because I want public CVS and I can't have it here). Feel free to comment on the pro/cons of ZPublisher.Client vs. XML-RPC or whatever, I haven't started to fill in the implementation yet.
