IDE/ATAPI drive? Unless money is really tight, don't go for anything but SCSI. SCSI is a much more flexible solution, and generally faster, less CPU-intensive, and more compatible. (Your mileage may vary; personally I have no experience with how well UltraDMA works on Linux. It may be dandy for all I know.) Traditionally SCSI drives have been more advanced than their IDE/ATAPI counterparts because they have been made to sit in servers. Compare the MTBFs on a typical IDE drive with that of a SCSI drive and you'll easily spot which one was "built to last". -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell.

If there's stuff that's not in LDAP, then complain to Netscape. Of course, you're going to have to get NS's Calendar schema, and work out how it works, before you can interpret it, but hey, how hard can that be? :) Anthony -- Anthony Baxter <anthony(a)interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

ANN: Zope.org beta release
by Amos Latteier 18 Aug '99

18 Aug '99

Hello, Digital Creations is pleased to announce the pubic availability of the new Zope.org site. This site is currently in *beta*; it mostly works, but it not yet complete. Eventually it will replace the current Zope.org site. http://www.zope.org:18200/ * What's new about this site? The new site is focused on providing a framework for the Zope community to develop on-line Zope resources. Using Zope itself community members can experiment and create their own resources on Zope.org, much as Python hackers create their own content on the Python starship site. To participate, you can create a membership for yourself which provides you with an area to create objects, and the ability to personalize the site. The new Zope.org site is running Zope 2 and makes heavy use of the Portal Toolkit, the Catalog and ZClasses. * What's Membership all about? Membership allows you to create an account on Zope.org. Then you can build and manage your own Zope objects. You can upload your contributed software, and author your own documents on-line. If you can't install Zope locally this is a great way to try it out. If you are a Zope guru an account allows you to share you information efficiently with the Zope community. Everything you create can be woven into the fabric of the site through the magic of the catalog. For example, many pages are built from Catalog searches of member objects. Membership also allows you to find out about what's happened on the site since you last visited. For example you can search for all How-To objects that have changed since you were last at the site. * Is the site useful if you don't want to be a Member? Yes. The main feature of the new site for non-members is searchability and access to member content. Wondering about DTML syntax, just type 'getitem' into the search form and find the right pages of the DTML Guide, and any relevant user contributed How-Tos. * Why is the site considered 'beta'? Because Zope 2 itself is still in beta, and because we have not moved enough content to the new site. There may even be a bug or two left ;-) * What should I do if I find something broken, or have suggestions? Send them to info(a)digicool.com. Please realize that this site is not yet complete. We have lots of plans for it, and would like to hear your ideas too. Give the new site a whirl and have fun! -Amos P.S. In keeping with a great tradition, I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so I cannot guarantee that your problems and suggestions for the site will be acted upon immediately. Thanks for your understanding. -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

RE: [Zope] string splitting
by Alexander Staubo 18 Aug '99

18 Aug '99

This is in the DTML documentation, and also in the Python documentation (check out the string module and the split function). Example of use: <dtml-var "_.string.split('a&b&c&d', '&')"> would yield a Python list like this: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'] So you could do something like: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('foo', _.string.split('a&b&c&d', '&'))"> <dtml-if "foo[0] == 'a'"> First element is 'a'. </dtml-if> -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell.

RE: [Zope] access to Netscape Calendar server via LDAP from Zope
by Rob Page 18 Aug '99

> the subject says it all, is that possible, and what > components do I need ? I just read a _little_ about Netscape Calendar server and it seems like Calendar data is stored in Calender server and user data are stored in LDAP. IF this is true then I have no idea how you would access the calendar info. However, we're using LDAPConnections in an consulting project. Get: LDAP Connection from: http://www.zope.org/Download/Contrib You'll need client LDAP libraries which are available from http://www.openldap.org/ Finally, the book Building Directory Enabled Apps is a good one! --Rob

Several urgent questions...
by Klement J. Fellner 18 Aug '99

18 Aug '99

hello zopisti, we are on our way to replace our static webpages with zope-driven web-application. As long as you use standard features zope is - in my opinion - self-explainatory, but... we ran into several problems, respectively questions: a) upload of pictures/documents (pdf,ps, etc.)? is there an easy-to-use solution out there which one can use? what we want is a way to allow end-users to upload various files into zope or an ftp-account which then are provided to anonymous users for downloading. b) Folder parameters!!!!!! how can I change these parameters with DTML? I declared a parameter "sprache" which holds "de" as default at the root-level. When a user wants to read the content in english (sic!) the parameter should be set to "en" (I use the parameter in ZSQL statements - it works well). I tried to set the parameter with  It did not work. maybe someone out there has a solution. klement. -- Mag. Klement J.

Part of the problem is that Zope has been a fast-moving target in the last few months. I would hope that things will settle down a bit when Zope 2 is finalized, so we can write a bunch of interesting add-on Products, implement some attention-getting Zope sites, and write FAQs and tutorial docs. (This recent kerfuffle also made me start writing a chapter on Zope for the Grimoire last night.) And I quite agree with Bradford Hull that the Zope learning curve is steep. There are a lot of components in Zope, and how to mentally fit them all together isn't obvious. It's worth noting the frequent use of the phrase "Zope Zen", implying that knowledge is suddenly gained in unpredictable flashes of insight. (For example, I had tremendous difficulty with calling other objects from DTML, until I suddenly realized how the namespace stack behaves.) Reading the source code may not always help; some portions of it are filled with impressively cutting-edge Python technique; even Guido would have to go slowly. -- A.M.
