Hello, the subject says it all. I have looked at the ZODB site, but I can't find any conclusive info. Thanks, /dario - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Lopez-Kästen, IT Systems & Services Chalmers University of Tech.

Re: CVS File 0.9 bugs
by Craeg K Strong 07 Oct '03

07 Oct '03

Thanks for your note. Yes, version 0.9 went out with some silly bugs, and I haven't had time to fix them. However, we now have a customer funding some Zope-related work, so I imagine I will have time to work on CVSFile again within 3-6 weeks. CVSFile will be supported until it gets replaced by another Zope add-on that will add CVS functionality to the Adaptable Persistence Engine (APE). We will be looking into that for our customer as well. APE is the wave of the future, it will ultimately replace ExternalFile (the current underpinnings of CVSFile), ExtFile, LocalFS, and lots of other related products. As far as migrating from a Zope site developed the traditional way, you have to decide what is worth versioning and what is not. For example, in what format is your content? Is it in XML? HTML? Is it mixed in with your formatting directives inside your ZPTs? Or perhaps is it all in DTML documents? We used versioning for anything meeting any of the following criteria - multiple developers might work on it simultaneously - content that needs to be reused - anything changing rapidly that might need to be reverted or needs an audit trail Under that definition, quite a few zope objects should be versioned, all but the most trivial ones, really. One option is to have a folder full of versioned CVSFiles in a tree, parallel to your "real" site. Your "real" site then merely navigates in via aquisition and retrieves its content from objects within the versioned area. That way, you have *two* hierarchies. One is for the site. One matches the file system and CVS. I found this arrangement a little easier to handle, because I could refresh the entire CVSFile hierarchy in a batch and watch my website update :-) See the latest CVSFile batch oriented functionality for more details. Hope this helps, --Craeg PS, I cc'd the zope-dev mailing list, as I feel the conversation might be helpful to others...

Unicode encoding/decoding
by Bjorn Stabell 07 Oct '03

07 Oct '03

How does Zope handle Unicode encoding/decoding of non-UTF8 encodings? I see encoding/decoding functions popping up in products (e.g., Archetypes), but I thought Zope already had this covered? Bye, -- Bjorn

Using 2.3.2 for Zope 2.7
by Chris McDonough 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

Some people at ZC have made pretty compelling arguments to make Python 2.3.2 the "recommended" version of Python to use with Zope 2.7 final. I'm wondering if other people have a strong feeling about this either way. -- Chris McDonough <chrism(a)zope.com> Zope Corporation

Javascript variables Form element values and zope

06 Oct '03

Thanks to Dieter and jcc, I didn't think there was going to be a sneaky way to mix zope scritps and javascript in a live page, but hoped there may have been some neat trick ... Looks like its plan B - submitting the form from one frame to another and using the request doohicky. Gavin

testSetupServers() in Zope-2_7-branch?
by Tim Peters 03 Oct '03

03 Oct '03

====================================================================== ERROR: testSetupServers (Zope.Startup.tests.testStarter.ZopeStarterTestCase) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Code\Zope-2_7-branch\lib/python\Zope\Startup\tests\testStarter.py", line 194, in testSetupServers self.assertRaises(ZConfig.ConfigurationError, starter.setupServers) File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\unittest.py", line 289, in failUnlessRaises callableObj(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Code\Zope-2_7-branch\lib/python\Zope\Startup\__init__.py", line 187,in setupServers servers.append(server.create()) File "C:\Code\Zope-2_7-branch\lib/python\ZServer\datatypes.py", line 93, in cr eate logger_object=access_logger) File "C:\Code\Zope-2_7-branch\lib/python\ZServer\FTPServer.py", line 600, in __init__ ftp_server.__init__(self, None, *args, **kw) File "C:\Code\Zope-2_7-branch\lib/python\ZServer\medusa\ftp_server.py", line 727, in __init__ self.bind ((self.ip, self.port)) File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\asyncore.py", line 300, in bind return self.socket.bind(addr) File "<string>", line 1, in bind TypeError: an integer is required That was on Windows & Python 2.3.2, but I don't know whether it matters. The second half of testSetupServers() appears to be setting up an error case, but it's not dying in the way the test expects. Instead self.ip == '18092 # conflict' and self.port == None and socket.bind has no idea what to make of that. It raises TypeError. The test is expecting ZConfig.ConfigurationError. I figure someone can figure this out faster than I can -- don't be shy <wink>.

ZConfig changes
by Fred L. Drake, Jr. 03 Oct '03

03 Oct '03

Phillip Eby and I both checked new functionality into ZConfig today; the documentation has been updated. If these changes are still looking good in a week or two, I'll plan on releasing it as "ZConfig 2.0". Both sets of changes revolve around schema extension, but they support different things. Phillip's changes allow one schema to be derived from one or more other schema. My changes allow configuration files to load additional schema components. Please try these changes and see how they work for you. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fred at zope.com> PythonLabs at Zope Corporation

Hallo All, I have this little form and I would like to know how to persuade dtml or python to access the javascript variables in the set_p function and the element values in the form "LOG". I'll be thankful for any assistance. <html><head> <script language="JAVASCRIPT"> function set_p(a,b) { // // call a zsql script mylookup which returns a single value // document.p.value=<dtml-call expr="mylookup(a,b)"> // //alternatively //document.p.value=<dtml-call expr="mylookup(document.LOG.m.value,document.LOG.n.value)"> // } </script> </head><body> <form name="LOG"> <table> <tr> <td><input type=text name="m" value=""></td> <td><input type=text name="n" value=""></td> <td><input type=text name="p" value=""></td> <td><input type=button value="Update P" onclick=set_p(m.value,c.value)></td></tr></table> </form></body></html> Gavin

current best of breed ZEO for Zope 2.6.2 in production?
by Leonardo Rochael Almeida 03 Oct '03

03 Oct '03

Hi, I'm with a client in the process of setting up a production environment with ZEO. Which of the ZEOs should I use? * Old (t)rusty ZEO 1.0? * ZEO 2.0? * any one of the ZEO releases at http://www.zope.org/Products/ZEO ? * a ZEO ripped off of a ZODB release? Which one? (maybe even this last RC?) * In this case, should I make the ZEO server out of this ZODB release or should I just combine the ZEO server part into Zope and serve ZEO out of that? * If use a standalone ZODB release as ZEOServer, can/should I run it on Python2.2 While using Python2.1 ZEOClients? (I'm not running Zope 2.6.2 on Python 2.2) Cheers, Leo

Running the unit tests on 2.6.2?
by Paul Winkler 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Zope-2.6.2-src doesn't come with a script to run all the unit tests. Looking at cvs.zope.org, I found test.py, but it's only for 2.7 - it imports logging.config which doesn't exist in 2.6.2. What do I do to run all the unit tests for zope 2.6.2? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's BRAINDEAD SINFUL PROFESSOR! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)
