squishdot 0.1.5 against zope rpm 1.10.3
by zhaoway 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

I've encountered a problem when installing Squishdot 0.1.5 on Zope RPM 1.10.3 I got a broken product. Then I looked into the Traceback. It says: Squishdot Import Traceback Traceback (innermost last): File "/tmp/Zope-rootdir/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/Zope/OFS/Application.py", line 395, in import_products File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/Zope/Products/Squishdot/__init__.py", line 128, in ? import Squishdot, Squishfile File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/Zope/Products/Squishdot/Squishdot.py", line 131, in ? from SearchIndex.TextIndex import TextIndex File "/tmp/Zope-rootdir/usr/lib/python1.5/SearchIndex/__init__.py", line 91, in ? ImportError: No module named Query Since I've successfully installed Squishdot on my local win98 test box, I went to checked out that, on my local win98 test box w/ Zope for windows installed: there're Query.c and Query.pyd under lib/python/SearchIndex while on my linux box w/ Zope RPM installed, there're no such files. Maybe this is the problem? Please clarify me. Thanks! --zhaoway P.S. Squishdot 0.1.4 w/ the same Zope rpm on linux has no problem. confusing. :(

A4 cache control panel is broken

In 2.0.0a4, when I click either of the "change" buttons in the cache control panel, my browser attempts to download the methods those buttons are supposed to call. It claims they are type x-httpd-cgi . Bruce

RE: [Zope] Confera "talkback" buttons - is this correct?
by Alexander Staubo 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

Of course. Call it a momentarily lapse of reason -- I wasn't thinking clearly. Honestly! :-) I remember being somewhat annoyed by this at one point as I could not find a way to cleanly handle class construction -- I ended up putting a check in the class' index_html and creating my instances there, which is an ugly but functional hack. I still think ZClasses should be permitted to expose constructor-like methods. The form-handling code you described works but is hardly a "neat" solution. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "He could open a tin of sardines with his teeth, strike a Swan Vestas on his chin, rope steers, drive a steam locomotive and hum all the works of Gilbert and Sullivan without becoming confused or breaking down in tears." --Robert Rankin, _The Book of Ultimate Truths_ >-----Original Message----- >From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On >Behalf Of Brian >Lloyd >Sent: 14. juli 1999 00:55 >To: 'Alexander Staubo'; Zope Mailing List (E-mail) >Subject: RE: [Zope] Confera "talkback" buttons - is this correct? > > >> Speaking of which, has anybody tried using Confera from >> within a ZClass? >> It would be much more elegant that was Cees describes. >Question being: >> Would Confera store its messages in the instance, or in the class? >> >> -- >> Alexander Staubo > >You would need to arrange for your ZClass to create a new >Confera _instance_ in your new object instance at construction >time.

Try this: Put the list of field names in a multiple SELECT box. Make the name of the field something:list e.g., <SELECT NAME="fields_to_select:list" MULTIPLE> Then you can say: SELECT     ,   FROM  The  is relatively straightforward. The  is necessary to not produce a trailing comma after the LAST field name. sequence-end is true if there are no more items in the sequence. If there are, then a comma is inserted. Of course all of this is untested! Hope this helps! --Rob

ssl support
by Thomas.Pasch＠e-technik.uni-magdeburg.de 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

Hello, I think, this is a basic question. Is there any possiblily to use zope with ssl connections? I'm a beginner to that subject, but I wonder if you could perhaps configure apache so that the server is handling the en&decryption things. How to do that? In addition, does the answer change when using ZServer? Would it be a good thing for zope to have access to the openssl library under python 1.5.2 and above? Is somebody working on this right now? Regards, Thomas

I'm getting something similar - new documents are causing Netscape to show the download prompt. They work OK in IE5 so I guess Netscape is not recognizing the type. regards Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: bruce(a)perens.com [mailto:bruce@perens.com] > Sent: 14 July 1999 01:26 > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] A4 cache control panel is broken > > > In 2.0.0a4, when I click either of the "change" buttons in > the cache control > panel, my browser attempts to download the methods those > buttons are supposed > to call.
