Great Zope job opporunity!
by Michael Hirsch 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

Sorry to barge in like this, but my boss is seeking python/zope developers and the head hunters out there don't have a lot of contacts in the zope community. If you are interested in working on zope, working regularly with the fine folks at Digital creations, and/or Z-commerce, have I got a job for you! My company (ZapMedia.com) is looking for a zope developer for our music and video portal site. On my recommendation they checked out Zope and Digital Creations, and they liked it. So now we've decided to build a Zope Site. Knowing that we don't have the expertise in house to build the kind of boundary pushing site we want, we've contracted with Digital Creations to help us construct the site. (For an idea of what we want to do, check out http://www.zapmedia.com. IMHO, this is also an example of how we need help with our web smithing.) Though Jim Fulton et al are doing the heavy lifting, we need a zopista in house. Ultimately this person should take over the site when DC has finished its job. I'll stop now, but if you have any questions about the job, how great a place this is to work at, what kind of company we are, stock options, etc., feel free to contact me. Or, send a resume to my boss: jobs(a)zapmedia.com. Thanks, -- ------------------------ Michael D.

Zope versions and Emacs
by Petr Knapek 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

Zopists, I have any problem with Zope versions when I edit my DTML code in Emacs and update it through FTP access. I see no indication (red diamond) of such a way changed DTML method (or other object) and the version tells me, that there is no change in this version. But, on the other hand, I can see this change in the UNDO Zope tab. Does anyone know more about this? I prefer to edit DTML code in Emacs and not in web interface, where there is no problem with Zope versions. -- Petr Knápek PVT.NET, e-mail: petr.knapek(a)pvt.net, tel:+420-5-41 558 394 PVT a.s. - pvt.net, Veveří 102, 659 10 Brno, Czech Republic

cataloging binary files (pdf's, word docs...)
by Roman Milner 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

I'm trying to come up with a way to catalog PDF's and Word docs. It is easy to write python methods to pull the text ouf of these. The problem is that we already have tons of them in our ZODB as file objects. The only thing I can think of is to make a zclass class for each type (ie. PDFFile type) that has a method that knows how to extract the text from the pdf and have zcatalog catalog that property. But this means re-creating all the binary files currenlty in our ZODB. Can any one offer any better suggestions? I could write a python method that extracted the text based on mime type but I can't go back and ad that method to each file object. Thanks for any help. ^Roman

I think versions (at least the little diamonds :-) work through cookies....hence you won't get those visual indications on Emacs-edited code :-) Jon Brisbin

how can prevent toXML output <?xml ?>
by Sin Hang Kin 15 Feb '00

15 Feb '00

Thanks to Martijn Pieters <mj(a)digicool.com>, I can sent out any sub-tree of an xml document now. The problem is : when toXML apply to the xmldocument root, it gives the <?xml ?> tag also. How can I prevent this? or How can I detect if it is the root so the dtml method does not insert the <? xml tag? Now, I still got the following: 1. embed the <dtml-> tags inside the xmlDocument. and make the toXML render them before making it a xml file. However, the currently dtml-var does not accept ending / or </dtml-var>, that is the problem 2. make other zope objects response to toXML which I think since we can export them in xml format, it is possible, isn't it? 3. XMLDocument does not receive utf-8 encoding correctly. 4. Zcatalogue does not like utf-8 encoding especially chinese, japanese, korean, ...

calling DTMLMethods from python
by König Alexander 15 Feb '00

15 Feb '00

I need to call a DTMLMethod that is contained in the ZODB from python, as a template to display the calling object. Tried it that way: def display_template(self): root_folder=self.get_root() # returns a folder object that contains templates/template_set/meldung return root_folder.templates.template_set.meldung(self) Calling display_template returns "access denied" followed by a login-box. the superuser login isn't accepted, just returns access denied again. Using mapping instead of specifiing the client-object (self) works for attributes, but not for contained objects. Is there another posibility to call DTMLMethod-objects from python? Alex

Automatically reindexing CatalogAware objects
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring 15 Feb '00

15 Feb '00

The problem with CatalogAware objects is that you have to add self.reindex_object() to any method that updates them. I think I've thought of a way to solve this - tell me if/where I'm wrong: Every time a CA object gets changed a transaction is commited, which means the object gets pickled and saved into the ZODB. Every time an object is pickled its __getstate__ method is called. So, we define the following __getstate__ for the CatalogAware class: def __getstate__(self) self.reindex_object() # is __getstate__ supposed to return self? return self Would this work? -- Itamar S.T. itamars(a)ibm.net
