by Jason Cunliffe 09 Dec '99

09 Dec '99

Hello I have some sites where need users to frequently upload a variety of media files. The site needs to have an automated method for sending email to the subscribed member of group when new files are posted. The mailbot should send a letter and listing such as: ------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, There are [count] new files posted at http://www.thesite.com #1 date time posted by: username Id Title size http://www.thesite.com/thefolder/thelink etc etc -------------------------------------------------------------- My brain has been in some different work lately. Back into basic zoping again. Any suggestions how to do this, examples, caveats? Thanks - 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

You cannot call ZSQL method directly via HTTP (which you are trying to do by making the ZSQL method the target to your form); this is a security feature. ZSQL methods can only be called from internal methods, like DTML Methods. So, make the target of your form a DTML method that calls the ZSQL Method for you. -Michel

Real Soon Now ZTopics should make their debut on zope.org. ZTopics are sort of like Folders that contain canned search queries that define their contents. They will allow us to build arbitrary heirarchical organizations of content a la a Yahoo-style directory. So instead of a flat list of products you will be able to go through: /Products/Database_Adapters/Oracle/ or /Products/Ad_Managers/ or even /Products/Ad_Managers/That_are_new_in_the_last_30_days/ I can't give an exact date for when this will happen, but I just wanted to chime in to let folks know what is on our radar for addressing things like this.

Urgent: PCGI on NT
by Martijn Faassen 09 Dec '99

09 Dec '99

Hi there, I'm sorry I keep sending out the same messages to this list, but I still haven't solved my problem and I need to solve it _very soon now_. I think I've run into a bug with PCGI on NT but it's odd that no one else ran into this before.. Could people send me their pcgi config files, please? I can't get mine to work. The problem: I have a zope.cgi file set up. It points to the PCGI_PUBLISHER (pcgi_publisher.py). But somehow, whatever I do, if I write the path with / or \, include f: or not, it just fails to find that file. the pcgiwrapper.exe keeps coming with a missing publisher: f:\Zope\pcgi\pcgi_publisher.py It just plain refuses to find the right file, whatever I do! I've even tried placing that .py file in the root of f:, and I've tried giving it another file, but no matter what I do, it fails to find it. I traced this message back to the file parseinfo.c. There it does a stat() to check if the file exists. Somehow that stat fails. As I don't have a C compiler for NT I can't debug this any further.. This is terribly weird. I've even tried using Zope 2.0's pcgi .exe files in the hope that they would work, but no luck. My current zope.cgi file (*please* send me yours if you have it working on NT!): #!f:\zope\pcgi\win32\pcgi-wrapper.exe PCGI_NAME=Zope PCGI_PORT=8090 PCGI_MODULE_PATH= f:\Zope\lib\python\Main.py PCGI_PUBLISHER= f:\Zope\pcgi\pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE= f:\Zope\bin\python.exe PCGI_SOCKET_FILE= f:\Zope\var\pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE= f:\Zope\var\pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG= f:\Zope\var\pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM= Zope BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME= f:\Zope Regards, Martijn

Failed saving version
