Can't start Zope
by Adrian Esteban Madrid 02 Dec '99

I'm getting an error when trying to run ./start. Any ideas why this is happening? (Zope was compiled as w_pcgi.py) File "/usr/zope/z2.py", line 493, in ? logger_object=lg) File "/usr/zope/ZServer/medusa/http_server.py", line 552, in __init__ self.bind ((ip, port)) File ""/usr/zope/ZServer/medusa/asyncore.py", line 205, in bind return self.socket.bind (addr) socket.error: (98, 'Address already in use') -- Adrian Esteban Madrid Network Support, ATS Brigham Young University

by Sam Gendler 02 Dec '99

I have a ZClass based product, called a CPI, and I would like a CPI to be able to contain other CPI's. Is this possible, or do I have to resort to coding myt product in python? --sam

repost request

Someone sent something recently about a bug in zope when you create a ZClass inside of a Zclass and then get a Resource not found error when you try to create an instance of the ineer zclass. COuld someone repost the message, as I cannot find it. The only thing I can remember about it was that credit was given to nick garcia, searching through my mailbox doesn't turn anything up. Thanks --sam

O.K. So I'm a zope, I mean dope. Never mind. I figured it out. I just needed to install the python-devl package. This will create the config directory and it's contents. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Shaw, Mark [mailto:Mark.Shaw@cadus.com] Sent: Thursday, December 02, 1999 5:16 PM To: 'zope(a)zope.org' Subject: [Zope] DCOracle Install Hello, I'm having a problem setting up the DCOracle extensions on my system.

Also I can see several areas that need inprovement to say you support collaboration well. 1) Better versioning. Locking is a bit restrictive. Private branches and merging provide more flexible ways of working togeather. 2) Better workflow support. Zope doesn't support events very well. How do I know when fred down the hall finished doing that image to link into my page? 3) And of course the old chestnut of support for wysiwyg editing. > teaches the exact inverse.

Prompting for login, logging out?
by Art Hampton 02 Dec '99

02 Dec '99

For the moment, I'm using the standard acl_users folders that are built into Zope. I've got a page that generates information of interest to a given user. The Anonymous User is allowed to view the page. However, to view a customized version, the user must first log in. How do I force Zope to prompt the user for a login (preferably when they push a button)? The only thing I've come up with is creating an "Authenticated" role, assigning all users to that role, and then creating a "Login" document which the Anonymous role cannot view, but the Authenticated role can. Although it works, it seems like there should be a better (built into Zope) way. Is there? The disadvantage to my Authenticated role scheme is that we need to make sure that every user is assigned this role. Also, I'm still interested in that snippet of code that logs out the current user (I think it removes a cookie? I'm not sure). If someone could post that, I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance.

some advice for a news site
by Luis Bordas 02 Dec '99

02 Dec '99

We have a project of a Web-zine that has to run on a Linux box. I heard about Zope and I'm impressed so far. The site will have functionality like "related news" and "send this to a friend". We also need to be able to categorize the content/news and search with keywords. There will be "subscribers" that will receive daily tips with links to the news on the Web site. Those will be stored in a RDBMS. We took a look at PHP3 and MySQL as an interesting choice, but after reading about Zope we would like to take the better alternative. Is it possible to use the Z ODB to store the news instead of a RDBMS, without loosing the functionality we need?... Maybe a combination of Zope and MySQL?. Any advice would be appreciated.
