Selection Lists Draft Howto
by Alexandre Ratti 31 Oct '99

31 Oct '99

Hello, I experimented with selection lists last week and I summarized my findings in a howto. You can view the 1st draft here: <http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/SelectionLists>. It explains how to create simple selection lists, fill them from loops, properties, TinyTables, etc. and retrieve the selected values. Feel free to send me your feedback. Cheers. Alexandre

Not to mention that extremely cool work being done in gill, the Gnome illustration program (not even alpha, but you should see the demos). Looks like SVG will be a very wide-spread format in Gnome apps. And Macromedia is a really bad company - I suffered for many years with Director. They bought Flash, BTW - it wasn't developed by Macromedia. Of course, SVG is not supported in ANY of today's browsers. -- Itamar - itamars(a)ibm.net

Whether or not you are fans of Flash, IMHO the writing is on the wall for something like it. SVG For example see the maturing SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) draft at W3C: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ and the Concordia web site: http://indy.cs.concordia.ca/svg/main.html I read this as a response to the 3 main submission they received: 1) Microsoft 2) Adobe PGML 3) Macromedia openSWF Microssft just 'get' graphics...but htey are trying Adobe focused on leveraging their document layout approach PDF_XML_WEB Macromdedia plough ahead with traubng to gain maximum eyeballs (77 million players+ downloaded) and a _highly_compressed format with strong interactivity, sound and straeming built-in. Macromedia has the clear edge in performance and installed platform userbase at present ...but things could change rapidly especially if such a multimedia ssytem coudl be dveloped with a more flexible web object model, XML, openSource (ahem-: sound familiar?)... "SVG is a language for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics in XML. SVG is designed to work well across platforms, output resolutions, colour spaces, and a range of available bandwidths." I am happy to note from the updated SVG page, that it looks like a good harvest this year :-) Lots of SVG related developments including: Chris Lilley's talk 'XML meets Graphicss' http://www.w3.org/Talks/1999/09/14-SVG-XMLWorld/slide1.htm Sketch, an illustration program for Unix-like systems ( Linux, Solaris, BSD, AIX, IRIX) by Bernhard Herzog has SVG import and export support in version 0.62. Sketch is written in Python. http://www.online.de/home/sketch/Default.htm IBM's SVGView http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/svgview Mayura Draw http://www.mayura.com/ XHTML WITH MATHML AND SVG http://indy.cs.concordia.ca/kamthan/publ/xml-ns/index.html#xml_mathml_svg .... so where the Zope? - Jason ------------------------------------------------- Jason Cunliffe <jasonic(a)nomadicsltd.com> NOMADICS.STUDIO(Design Director) Geo-Digital Arts and Technology Le Vieux Moulin, Route de Mons 83440 SEILLANS, FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)4 94.76.98.72 Fax: +33 (0)4 94.76.97.77

Re: [Zope] Announce: Where's the zope? => Flash SDK openSource
by Jason Cunliffe 31 Oct '99

31 Oct '99

Following my previous post on Zope and multimedia - openSWF(FLASH)... Here is a quote from a recent post to the Macromedia.open-swf newgroup. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Pete Santangeli <> Date: 04 October 1999 19:37 Subkect: Re: file format specification along with sample code [snip] ... there are several efforts under way currently at Macromedia (or funded by Macromedia) to further the open file format and open source effort. These include: - A Flash File Format SDK. This will consist of a set of API's to easily create .swf output from C++ applications. The intention here is to fully expose the Flash file format (as before) and to additionally allow engineers to quickly create Flash output without getting bogged down in the details of Flash's compression. - A Flash Source SDK. This is the key deliverable for our Flash Free Source initiative. It will consist of the core Flash player packaged in a manner that will make it easy to port onto differing platforms and environments. The intent here is to separate the core code from the interface code that needs to be modified for any given environment. My appologies for the time it has taken to get these out the door. We have been endeavouring to do a thorough job of documenting the material and ensuring that it is easy to use. I am confident that the delay has been worth while. We are not currently looking for additional beta partners (we have a list of companies already in the queue) but I would expect a public release this month. Pete Santangeli ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- He confirms in a later post that the source will be available. ------------------------------------------------- Jason Cunliffe <jasonic(a)nomadicsltd.com> NOMADICS.STUDIO(Design Director) Geo-Digital Arts and Technology Le Vieux Moulin, Route de Mons 83440 SEILLANS, FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)4 94.76.98.72 Fax: +33 (0)4 94.76.97.77

some SSL some clear content - needs two zope instances?
by Roman Milner 31 Oct '99

31 Oct '99

Hello. We are in the process of setting up a Zope site - some of which requires SSL some does not. So, do I need two Zope servers or can I avoid this somehow? My first thought was to put all the SSL content in a folder and have all the DTML methods check the REQUEST['SERVER_PORT'] and makes sure it's 443. I don't really know how safe that is as I don't know where SERVER_PORT comes from - the client or the server? Anyways, I can't do that for ZSQL methods or images so that won't work regardless. So what are my other options? I was thinking of maybe an SSLFolder product that won't allow any content to be viewed unless it's coming in on a given (default 443) port (or maybe some other means of checking for SSL) Or adding a "Viewable without SSL" permission - but I really don't know what either of those would entail. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Especially on a simpler way to solve the problem without two Zope servers installed. ^Roman

Disabling/Post-processing Copy-Paste
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring 31 Oct '99

31 Oct '99

I want to give a collection of objects a unique value for each, stored in a property. Problem is, copying and pasting a object would leave me with two objects with the same value. Is it possible to: A. Disable only Copy and not Cut? or B. Have a object (a ZClass instance, actually) do something automatically when it gets created by a Paste? -- Itamar - itamars(a)ibm.net ---------------------------o----------------------------------------------o Perl/Gimp Greeting Cards | Trust?
