What happens is this: DTML is pre-parsed, and all the DTML tags are replaced by object instances representing those tags. The attributes are stored as instance variables. This means that 'sortby' is evaluated only once, when you save the DTML code. Right now there is no real solution to your problem, other then creating different #in tags and selecting one with an if - elseif - else structure. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-6254545 Fax: +31-35-6254555 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------

sysv init script for Zope 2
by Alex Rice 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

Here is an init script for Zope2/ZServer. Folks might find it useful just as a wrapper around z2.py. That's how I'm using it. On Redhat Linux, the init scripts are kind of covoluted-- I'm still not sure how it handles killing daemons. If you are comfortable with Redhat's init scripts, try putting a symlink to this script in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/. #!/bin/sh # # Init script for the Zope2 application server (using ZServer) # # Alex Rice <alex(a)mindlube.com> # notes: # o don't put this in /etc/rc.d/rcX.d/ unless you know what you are doing # o format copied from other Redhat 6 init scripts # o make sure your network interface is up before you start zope! # adjust these as appropriate ZOPE_BASE=/usr/share/zope PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python # there better way to get DNS server (like from /etc/resolv.conf) anyways... # put your DNS server here: NS=127.0.0.1 # See how we were called. case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting Zope: " $PYTHON $ZOPE_BASE/z2.py -d $NS & echo ;; stop) echo -n "Shutting down zope: " $PYTHON $ZOPE_BASE/lib/python/ZPublisher/Client.py \ -u ` cat $ZOPE_BASE/access ` \ http://localhost:9673/Control_Panel/manage_shutdown \ > /dev/null 2>&1 echo ;; status) echo "Status of Zope: " echo "<this feature not yet implemented>" ;; restart) echo -n "Restarting zope: " $PYTHON $ZOPE_BASE/lib/python/ZPublisher/Client.py \ -u ` cat $ZOPE_BASE/access ` \ http://localhost:9673/Control_Panel/manage_restart echo ;; reload) echo -n "Reloading zope: " $PYTHON $ZOPE_BASE/lib/python/ZPublisher/Client.py \ -u ` cat $ZOPE_BASE/access ` \ http://localhost:9673/Control_Panel/manage_restart echo ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}" exit 1 esac exit 0

Zope as a mail list server
by Jay, Dylan 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

Comments in the press release for "Zope portal" (whatever that is) seems to indicate that mailing list type functionality might be available from inside zope. Or at least the web archive part of a mail list. Is this true? My current situation is as follows. I have a zope website using an odbc database for a user base of around 500 or so users. I want to support both discussion lists and annoucement style lists for my users. I want to be able to view, search and submit mails from inside my zope website. I want users to manage their subscription from both the website and from traditional listserv like mail commands. I want to be able to store the user lists in flexible way in my user database. I preferably want some flexibility on how I store the archived messages. Its seems to me that all the list servers I'm looking at suffer from two problems. One is lack of flexibility on the backend data storage. Another is their intergration with existing web pages. Zope seems ideally placed to bridge this gap. Is this planned? If so perhaps rather than hack togeather some connection between an existing list server I should wait for the zope version.

failed to compile on BSDI 4.0
by Tan Juay Kwang 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

Hi, has anybody successfully compiled zope 2.0.0a1 on a BSDI 4.0 Intel class machine? I can compile the package on a Sparc Solaris 2.6 with no problems but I got the following errors (warnings?) during the compilation process :- gcc -D_HAVE_BSDI -I../Components/ExtensionClass -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include/python1.5 -I/usr/local/include/python1.5 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./../Components/ExtensionClass/ExtensionClass.c ld ExtensionClass.o -o ExtensionClass.so ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 08048074 After this point, I got a whole lot of undefined references. The particular ld from Solaris 2.6 is the one supplied while the ld that gives the warning prints the following with "ld -v" :- GNU ld version 2.8.1 (with BFD 2.8.1) Many thanks. Juay Kwang

RE: [Zope] ODBC and Zserver problems
by Alexander Staubo 01 Jun '99

Oh, but doesn't local InterBase block calls made from services? If you're using a fully licensed version of InterBase I can't promise with certainty that this is the cause of your problem, but if you're using a bundled version (one that comes with an Inprise Borland product) then that version will deny connection from anything running within a service, because it deems this to be a "network connection" and not a local one, and that would violate the license. Right. There may be ways around this, other than buying the full product, but I have not found it. It also affects ISAPI extensions on IIS or any other ISAPI-enabled web server such as Zeus, because these extensions are DLLs running in the context of the IIS service. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "It has taken the planet Earth 4.5 billion years to discover it is 4.5 billion years old." --George Wald >-----Original Message----- >From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of >Graham Chiu >Sent: 1. juni 1999 02:37 >To: zope(a)zope.org >Subject: Re: [Zope] ODBC and Zserver problems > > >In article <4.2.0.56.19990531085431.00bd7f00(a)lisp.atmm.nl>, Martijn >Pieters <mj(a)antraciet.nl> writes >>What database are you connecting too?
