works under 1.10.3 not under 2.0.0b5
by Joachim Schmitz 25 Aug '99

25 Aug '99

hi, I have a ZSQL-method insert in my root folder like this: insert into  (  ,  ) <snipp> also in my root-folder is a dtml-document which calls insert(REQUEST) this is my folder-structure: root insert (ZSQL-method) bearbeiten (dtml-document) kultur kino Event EinAusgabe (TinyTable) when I now call root/kultur/kino/Event/bearbeiten under 1.10.3 that correctly inserts my record. under 2.0.0b5 I get a keyerror EinAusgabe from the insert-method, I think it has something to do with difference of dtml-documents versus dtml-methods. But how do I treat a ZSQL-method as an ZSQL-document ? Gruß Joachim Schmitz WWW-Consultant email: js(a)ac-copy.net tel: +49-241-89491-0 fax: +49-241-89491-29

Acquisition mysteries

Given the following folder structure: root - DTML Method | DTML Document | current folder The famous acquisition 'enables' an object to call a property from a parent object as if it were its own. If you use a DTML Method the calling object is the folder that you call from (current folder in the example), because the DTML method 'acts' as if it were only a property of the current folder. So if you call manage_clone from a DTML Method it 'thinks' it is called from the current folder. It then 'clones' the object to the current folder. A DTML Document, however, is an object of its own, and it can't contain other object. So if you call manage_clone from a DTML Document it will try to clone it to itself, and *for one reason or another* ends up with the folder it's called from. Apparently acquisition thinks that is its nearest parent... Could someone with fuller understanding of acquisition explain this??? Is this a bug or a feature? If you add a <dtml-with expr="PARENTS[0]"> the object manage_clone is not called from the DTML Document, but from its nearest parent, which is the folder in the context of which it is called (current folder in the example). This works (at least for me) as expected, but why this parent is not found automatically escapes me...

Attempt to "reuse" Gadfly (in B3)
by LD Landis 25 Aug '99

25 Aug '99

Hi, Just an item... I was using an installed (from a "binary release" on a friends machine) beta 3 (haven't tried 5 yet... maybe today).. and wanted to "reuse" the gadfly... What I did was to point my PYTHONPATH to the place where gadfly was in the Zope tree... It was wierd... Didn't work... outside of Zope, the files were "normal", where as from zope, got different extensions, and even with proper closes, etc... gadfly didn't write the data out to the disk... I'll try again "from scratch" with whatever is "current" (maybe B6 is out?? ;-) If I have this problem again, then I'll post it to the collector. 'til then... just an FYI about something that seems to have "went bump in the night". -- Cheers, --ldl ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LD Landis ldl(a)HealthPartners.Com N0YRQ Voice 612/883-5511 Fax 612/883-6363 HealthPartners, 8100 34th Avenue So, PO Box 1309, Minneapolis, MN 55440-1309 Shape your life not from your memories, but from your hopes.

Webdav hangs
by Rik Hoekstra 25 Aug '99

25 Aug '99

With all traffic on the list about hanging ZServers, I thought my experiences with WebDAV and Internet Explorer (on Win95, Zope2.0b5) would perhaps be of some interest. I suspect much of this will be due to deficient implementations by Microsoft, but as is, it's the only available client for WebDAV. All this is highly Windows specific, I think, perhaps even Win95 - never tried it on NT. Experimenting with Webfolders, uploading to a Webfolder went usually went fine, albeit sometimes slow (sometimes not). Sometimes, however, not all files are uploaded to Zope; there is no apparent pattern. This also happens with ftp, by the way. After an upload, however, Explorer (often) locks up, eventually crashing Win95 completely (the good news is that contrary to previous experiences ZODB is not corrupted by a hard shutdown). ZServer keeps on working; _if_ I succeeded in closing down the locked-up explorer, it also did new WebDAV requests. Microsoft also has a synchronization product for webfolders (and regular websites), that keeps a remote site and a local copy in line. This always gives some errors on webfolders - it is not clear where and why (not very helpful is it - I do not quite know what this bot does and I don't feel like getting into it). just my $0.02 Rik Hoekstra

Error installing XML Document

Hi! I have some problems trying to install XML Document. I just downloaded and installed Zope-2.0.0b5. Then I downloaded XMLDocument-1.0a1.tgz and extracted it into the Zope directory. After restarting Zope I find (in the Control Panel) that XMLDocument is broken with this traceback. Please help me! Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/local/zope/Zope-2.0.0b5-linux2-x86/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 393, in import_products product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "/usr/local/zope/Zope-2.0.0b5-linux2-x86/lib/python/Products/XMLDocument/__i nit__.py", line 88, in ? import XMLDocument File "/usr/local/zope/Zope-2.0.0b5-linux2-x86/lib/python/Products/XMLDocument/XML Document.py", line 90, in ? from Parser import Parser, ParseError File "/usr/local/zope/Zope-2.0.0b5-linux2-x86/lib/python/Products/XMLDocument/Par ser.py", line 99, in ? from xml.parsers import pyexpat ImportError: No module named xml.parsers Thanks! /Stefan _______________________________________________________ Stefan Karlsson (stefan(a)everynet.se) +46 90 771030 Everynet Consulting AB, http://www.everynet.se/

Deployment issue
by HCSCCS＠prudential.com.my 25 Aug '99

25 Aug '99

Hi. I have a deployment issue. My application is at http://webpage:9673/dms. When I try to access this page from another PC (in LAN), it fails although the DNS is set properly. But after putting the IP address of the PC into the /etc/hosts file, it works!!! But putting evry users' IP address, hosts and domain information into the hosts file is not desirable at all. What should I do then? Thanks a lot, Paul Chung
