"Suggestion-let" for Zope 2.0.2 (on Control_Panel/Products interface)
by 이관수 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

Control Panel Distribution panel needs to be more verbose than now. Particulary, there should be "Import" button for Products(or some words that if you click "Export" without selecting any installed product you can access usual Import/Export interface) and some cautions for the difference between Product Distribution and Ex/Im-ported Products. Only after "Broken Product" experience and reading Amos's http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/ControlPanelDistribution, I realized this Sorry, I did not read through the new ZCMG, there might be some explanation. But still some more verboseness seems appropriate. Should I submit this to Collector? But this seems less than "Feature". feeling dumbset in the Zopeland, again, LEE Kwan Soo.

RE: [Zope] manage_addFile() => TypeError
by Terrel Shumway 01 Oct '99

Duh! This code <dtml-call "manage_addFile(rep.this(),'newid',file)"> maps id=rep.this() file='newid' title=file *self* is passed implicitly. I hate it when I waste two days on such stupid mistakes. Zope is great. I am unworthy.

Offline development
by Geoff Caplan 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

Hi I would be using Zope in the UK, where dialup or leaseline access to the web is still very expensive. Is it practical to develop and test offline on the local machine before uploading changes to the remote production site? How is this done? Thanks Geoff Caplan

Have a look for Scott's Session product. It's a good base to work from. I'm building an SQL-backed Session object - it works by both setting a cookie, and putting the session-id in the URL (look at a typical Amazon.com URL). It stores the session's persistent data in a SQL database. It's not yet done, but I plan to release it when it is. Anthony

grouping of user-contributed products on zope.org?
by Anthony Baxter 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

Has anyone put any thought into producing "categories" of products on zope.org? Right now the one list of products is getting hard to wade through already - organising products into some sort of category system would make this a bit easier... no? yes? Anthony

Session management without cookies
by Geoff Caplan 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

Hi My prospective application with Zope would have to test for the ability to wite cookies, and degrade gracefully to cookieless session management if required. On a quick first reading of the documentation, I am not sure if Zope offers any help with this, or would it be a matter of using hidden forms and passing a parameter from page to page? Geoff Caplan

There are no igorant questions :) FastCGI integration with Zope, like the other transport implementations, will be totally transaparent to the developer - the only time you will have to think about it is when you install it.

error accessing manage page
by Mike Mikkelsen 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

Hello fellow Zopesters! I just setup zope with apache using the instructions in the how-tos. Everything works great except that after generating a new password with the zpasswd.py utility I now get the following error when trying to access the manage page: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: TypeError Error Value: call of non-function (type module) Troubleshooting Suggestions The URL may be incorrect. The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect. A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error. For more detailed information about the error, please refer to the HTML source for this page. If the error persists please contact the site maintainer. Thank you for your patience. At work I was able to get into the manage page without any problems. When I got home and tried to access it (via point to point isdn -- it works, trust me) I kept getting rejected because of bad password. So I telnet'ed in and changed the password. Apparantly, I broke something because now, no matter what I put in the domains field, the username field, the password field, or the encoding field, I get this error. I'm lost..... Any ideas? (Oh Great Phil, I know you have the answer, buddy! ;-) ) -- Mike Mikkelsen

changing properties of a zclass
by Markus Jais 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

hello, maybe this is a too simple question, but I don't know what to do anymore. I have a Zclass called "Dokument" and I have an Instance called "Dok" in a folder. In the same folder, there is a DTML-Document, from where I call an external python-method. The Zclass has the properties "author" and "version". What I want, is to change the properties of the Instance "Dok" with the python-method. I want to do it with the following code: self = getattr(self, "Dok") self.manage_changeProperties(Author = 'Bill Gates', Version = '400th beta') The method has no error, that is, it does not crash, when it is called. But the properties are not changed... and I am going mad, slowly but surely! Does anybody have a idea, what went wrong???? Thank you very much. Markus

Squishdot gets squished... Bug: 1 Squishdot: 0
by Samuel A. Falvo II 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

At our news site, www.armored.net/News, only the three most recent articles show up on the main screen. There should be /four/. Our site is configured for /ten/. Nothing shows up in "Older Stuff". Any idea why? Does anybody else experience this problem? I am using Squishdot 0.1.5b, as downloaded from Zope's website, along with the updated .py file, as downloaded from the instructions posted on squishdot.org. Thanks for the assistance. ========================================================================== KC5TJA/6 | -| TEAM DOLPHIN |- DM13 | Samuel A.
