I had that problem a while back but forgot to report it to Mr. Transparent Folders (sorry...) Anyway, this patch to TransparentFoldersPatch.py should fix you right up: def _getattr(self, name): # This is the new ObjectManager.__getattr__(). If an object by the # given ID is not found through the normal mechanisms, we # fall through to here and try to find the object in a # transparent folder. tpids = self._transparent_object_ids if tpids and not self._v_no_transparent and name[:3] != '_p_' and name != '_is_transparent': # The attribute may be accessible through # transparent folders. try: The important bit is adding the term "and name != '_is_transparent': to the if statement. -Randy > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy McKay [mailto:andym@ActiveState.com] > Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 4:46 PM > To: zope-dev(a)zope.org > Subject: Re: [Zope-dev] Transparent Folder bug? > > > Saying that I can now only reproduce this wierdness under certain > circumstances.

ParsedXML 1.0 released
by Karl Anderson 24 Mar '01

24 Mar '01

We've just released ParsedXML 1.0, the first stable release. It can be downloaded from zope.org at <http://www.zope.org/Members/karl/ParsedXML/ParsedXML>. Parsed XML allows you to use XML objects in the Zope environment. You can create XML documents in Zope and leverage Zope to format, query, and manipulate XML. Parsed XML consists of a DOM storage, a builder that uses PyExpat to parse XML into the DOM, and a management proxy product that provides Zope management features for a DOM tree. -- Karl Anderson karl(a)digicool.com

Transparent Folder bug?
by Andy McKay 24 Mar '01

24 Mar '01

Am I imagining it or do I have a transparent folders bug? It would seem that transparent folders adds an extra namespace to my objects and it searches through sub folders eg: Folder X: Document Foo. In the root with transparent folders i can happily call <dtml-var Foo> when I should not have this in my namespace. Without transparent folders I get a KeyError (which I should). With I get X/Foo rendered even though X is not transparent. My only caveat here is that every test with transparent folders is Zope 2.3, where as without im using 2.1.6. Cheers. -- Andy McKay.

It means that ZEO isn't compatible with NT. simply comment out line 297 of start.py and it should be fine. > > Finally, how can I get the storage server to use the Data.fs from my > INSTANCE_HOME rather than the SOFTWARE_HOME, which I presume the above > does? I think the default is to use INSTANCE_HOME/var/Data.fs so you should be happy. BTW, I have managed to get ZEO running as an NT service complete with Core Session in a mounted BerkeleyDB 3.2 storage. -- Duncan Booth duncan(a)rcp.co.uk

ZEO question.

Firstup, a quickie, where's the ZEO list gone? http://lists.python.org/mailman/listinfo/Zope-ZEO ...gives me: No such list zope-zeo And now onto the reason I was looking for that list: -WinNT 4.0 -Zope 2.3.1b1 -ZEO 0.4.1 E:\Zope\2.3.1b1>python lib/python/ZEO/start.py -p 8000 Traceback (innermost last): File "lib/python/ZEO/start.py", line 315, in ? if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv) File "lib/python/ZEO/start.py", line 297, in main signal.signal(signal.SIGHUP, handler) AttributeError: SIGHUP What does that mean and how can I fix it? Finally, how can I get the storage server to use the Data.fs from my INSTANCE_HOME rather than the SOFTWARE_HOME, which I presume the above does? cheers, Chris

Re: [Zope-dev] More ZSQL weirdness (this time with Python Scripts ;-)

ZSQL method's do not use the DTML namespace (where you "sec" goes to) to find their arguments: The prototype is as follows: def __call__(self, REQUEST=None, __ick__=None, src__=0, test__=0, **kw) If the second parameter (REQUEST) is passed, it should be a dictionary and it is used to find the parameters. Otherwise, if keywords arguments are provided, the keyword dict is used. Otherwise, "REQUEST" is obtained by acquisition and used. Otherwise, "{}" is used. In the future, Z SQL methods may perhaps use the new "namespace" passing mechanism (feature request for the Locator?). But currently, they behave as said above. Dieter

Very minor management style sheet change?
by richard＠bizarsoftware.com.au 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

Just so that the fonts are consistent, can this change be made to the management screens stylesheet? .form-help { + font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #333333; } As a bonus, we'd also like to see the following added to the stylesheet - it's the style "defined" by the Zope heading up above the management tree view. We'll make do if we have to with this one. .strong-header { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold; } Richard -- Richard Jones richard(a)bizarsoftware.com.au Senior Software Developer, Bizar Software (www.bizarsoftware.com.au)
