can any one tell me what's the easiest way to find the mdoification date of an object in python. I see references to bobobase_modification_time in some of the dtml files. I though bobo was gone now. -- Robin Becker

The source to the famously mysterious Xanadu project (Ted Nelson's original hypertext idea, and the systems which grew from it) was released Monday: http://udanax.xanadu.com/ I don't quite get all that they are saying (the "Zen" curb is higher than Zope's, methinks) but Zopistas should find it interesting. -- ================================================================================ Tres Seaver tseaver(a)palladion.com http://www.palladion.com Palladion Software Houston, Texas, USA 713-523-6582

I would also be interested in a mailing list on e-commerce in Zope. On a semi-related note, has anyone implemented a DA for Informix? Regards, Geoff W.

Lotus Notes Domino 5 and Zope
by jpreston＠tdg.com.au 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

Hi, I need an example of a site that is running Zope successfully under Notes Domino on WinNT. The hosting service I am bound to needs me to prove that it won't crash the server. Deadline approaching. Please contact me if you run Zope and Domino! Josh

ZCommerce Mailinglist
by Joerg Herbst 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

Hi, there seems to be some interest for a ZCommerce Mailinglist. Scott, maybe you can put it up first a codeit.com, if there is more interest, we should ask DC for putting it up at zope.org, but I guess first codeit.com should work. Anyone got a better idea ? Greeting Joerg Herbst

It gives me: ->Error Type: SystemError ->Error Value: bad argument to internal function I think the problem is that getitem() accepts only two arguments, the second of which is a flag of 0 or 1, whereas in your example it would be a string. I'm really a little annoyed... actually, this is a very simple task, but I don't get it. I just tried to workaround it with manage_copyObjects() and manage_pasteObjects()... (not very smooth), but I get an error, too: > The data in the clipboard could not be read, possibly due to > cookie data being truncated by your web browser.

ANNOUNCE: KM|Net News 0.9.1
by Kevin Dangoor 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

Hi, KM|Net News is the Zope 2.0 version of the news code used at http://www.byproducts.com It allows you to create a c|net sort of news site (with news arranged in categories) and allows reader submissions (with editor approval) and syndication. 0.9.1 fixes some bugs in 0.9 and adds some features that people had asked for. There was one really boneheaded bug in 0.9.0 (the incoming.html had the wrong variable name for the article body, so it wasn't saving the body). The Product's web page has moved to http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/tazzzzz/kmnn (The new zope.org is great, huh?) Kevin

Zope2 and ZSybaseDA problem
by Chad McDaniel 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

Did something change with how the new ZSybaseDA handles the results from a Sybase stored procedure? I noticed that with the 'Test' tab on the ZSQL Method that the results are quite different with Zope2. Zope1 just returned the simple key/value results. Zope2 returns keys called: Query, Status, and Calls. With the results hidden in Status. Is there a way to get the old behavior? thanks -- -chad

If it works better for you, you can store the PDFs in the same area as other related content. If you want to make a central PDF download page, you could then set up ZCatalog to index the property "content_type", and do a Find to catalog the objects. Then, your download page just needs to search the catalog for content_type: application/pdf (or whatever the type is). It could be as simple as: <dtml-in "Catalog({'metatype': 'File', 'content_type': 'application/pdf'})"> <a href="/<dtml-var "getpath(data_record_id_)">/index.html"><dtml-var title></a> </dtml-in> Kevin
