October 1999 - Zope - Zope lists

hiretechs.com is a zope site

I just saw a press release saying that hiretechs.com deployed a site using zope and linux. It looks like a nice site. (I would have sent the press release but I read it via clari.net and I don't think I am allowed to.) ^Roman -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. -------------------------------------- Roman Milner rmilner(a)dev.tivoli.com

[ZClass] manage_beforeDelete
by Sascha Matzke 08 Oct '99

08 Oct '99

Hello, I have a ZClass which saves some data to disk. Now, when I delete an instance of this ZClass I want also unlink the data on disk. I thought this could be done by overriding the manage_beforeDelete method, but this is impossible as my own manage_beforeDelete gets overridden by SimpleItem.manage_beforeDelete which is added as last item in the inheritance path... Any ideas ??

by Jonathan Corbet 08 Oct '99

08 Oct '99

Just another Zope reference: http://www.newsalert.com/bin/story?StoryId=Cn_1SqbKbytaXmZi >From the PR: www.HireTechs.com has launched its new auction website, using an Open Source web application server written in Python called Zope, running on the strong combination of Intel hardware and Red Hat 6.0 Linux. Not that they felt the need to put "powered by Zope" on the page itself... jon Jonathan Corbet, Eklektix, Inc. corbet(a)eklektix.com

Without going into off-topic details, I'll just say that this is the result of a design decision that is not obviously wrong (at least to me) and has some neat consequences. It does make layering the pthreads API on top of it a bit tricky. > It's normal. Yup. Can we not flame other people's operating system choices on this list? It would have been quite possible for you to make the above point without the snideness. This list is one of the friendliest I've seen--let's keep it that way. -Doug -- Doug McNaught doug(a)mcnaught.org http://www.mcnaught.org/~doug

This is because there is a 'self.attr = value' type assignment in the call path. If it's necesarry, that's cool, it's pretty low overhead. If it's not necesary it would be faster to not change the method object itself so that a transaction doesn't occour each time the method is called. -Michel > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (Related lists - please, no cross posts or HTML encoding! > > To receive general Zope announcements, see: > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > > For developer-specific issues, zope-dev(a)zope.org - > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >

packaging links
by Robin Becker 08 Oct '99

08 Oct '99

I have pages which contain the same link multiple times. Is there an obvious way to ensure that each link is defined only once? I guess I could add properties to the containing folder, but what do others do? So if I have a string property hrefFT with value http://www.ft.com/ I can refer to it multiple times inside my pages as ....href=<dtml-var hrefFT>...href=<dtml-var hrefFT> then I need only change the value of the string property to change the link everywhere. -- Robin Becker

products making documents
by Ethan Fremen 08 Oct '99

08 Oct '99

hi, I'm trying to make a product/factory that produces a dtml document with certain properties. I follow the tutorial so far, but how do I do the equivalent of: <dtml-with "manage_clone(Home,REQUEST['new_id'],REQUEST)"> with just a document? I don't see anything like manage_clone for documents in the ZQR. In other words- I have a form, that I want to generate new Documents that get their contents from their properties. -- Ethan "mindlace" Fremen webworker
