Some ideas for ZCatalog and XMLDocument
by Jason Jones 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

I've been using ZCatalog and XMLDocument for a bit now and am really impressed. These are fantastic tools. Seeing as how they're pretty early in their development though, I couldn't resist the urge to comment on some ideas for the future. 1. ZCatalog should be able to index objects according to user defined criteria (such as indexing on anchors in text, on in-text meta-data, etc...) so that matched positions can be specifically targeted. 2. ZCatalog should be able to return text hits in a user defined context, the easy way would be to have this context determined by the method 1. For instance if my boundary is anchor based, then context could be all text corresponding to that anchor chunk. 3. XML should be a built in system type, not confined to an XMLDocument. My thinking is that it would be great if I could register a DTD (or Schema) with zope, and then do something like <dtml-var text_content fmt="XML:my"> where "my" is a registered DTD, and then use dtml based render methods, or an associated XSL stylesheet to format my output. 4. ZCatalog should be integrated with the above XSL services. When you register a dtd or schema with zope, you should then be able to set up indexes on elements and attributes of that schema (just like you do on properties of regular objects). ZCatalog could then be used as an XQL engine as well. Ultimately it would be great to do something like this: registered dtd: <!DOCTYPE EXAMPLE [ <!ELEMENT article (title, author, abstract, body, discussion, references)> <!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT author (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT abstract (#PCDATA, ital, bold)> <!ELEMENT body (#PCDATA, p, ital, bold, head1, head2, head3, math, image, list)> ..... etc ..... ]> Along with the dtd, I would register any number of XSLT documents or render methods for example: "formatHTML_xsl" And I would index elements in the ZCatalog: title, author, abstract, body, etc... Then, with the following XMLDocument text: <?XML version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <article> <title>Example Article</title> <author>Me</author> <abstract>This is <ital>abstract</ital> text</abstract> <body> <head1>This is <ital>body</ital> text</head1> <p>This is some general <bold>paragraph</bold> text.</p> ..... etc ..... </article> I could do something like: <dtml-in "catalog.searchResults(meta_type='EXAMPLE')"--> <a href="/<dtml-var "catalog.getpath(data_record_id_)">"><dtml-var title></a> <dtml-var abstract fmt="XML:EXAMPLE" render="formatHTML_xsl"> <hr> </dtml-in> To return a nicely formatted abstract and link to the full XML article, which could then be rendered to down like: <dtml-var article fmt="XML:EXAMPLE" render="formatHTML_xsl"> or if I had another XSLT document called "formatPDA_xsl" then: <dtml-var article fmt="XML:EXAMPLE" render="formatPDA_xsl"> I left off .dtd and .xsl because they'll be zope objects not file references. etc... Of course, folding in items 1 and 2 with the above, then I could search on "body" for instance, return a context chunk from indexed <p id=#> tags for instance, and then jump to the appropriate paragraph section in my body text in my formatted XMLDocument. Also, I could identify any random block of text (in a DTML Document for example) as an XML fragment corresponding to a certain DTD and have it automatically rendered by the appropriate method or stylesheet. Anyway, just some ideas and wishful thinking for the future. Jason jason_j(a)countermedia.org

Strange behavior with Zope 2
by Petri Lankoski 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

I just upgraded to Zope 2.0.0 and move my site to it. It seems that sometimes Zope determines mime type of document errorenously. Pages worked fine with Zope 1. Html files are some times treated as text/plain. This happens when I have defined new standard_html_header method for a folder (but not every folder that have it's own standard_html_header and footer). F.e. dtml-source:  <IMG SRC="space_gif" ALT="">  renders to page that looks like: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html lang="fi"> <head> ...etc... Page Info says: Location: http://xcalibur.cc.tut.fi/Zope/Pelit/476/index_html File MIME Type: text/plain Should I do something differetly with Zope 2 is this bug? -- Petri Lankoski Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection kreivi(a)iki.fi Send my credentials to the House of Detention http://www.iki.fi/~kreivi/ doors PGP: http://www.iki.fi/~kreivi/pgp.txt

This should be fixed in 2.0 final if it's the same bug I'm thinking about. In your email you mentioned you had several patches to Brian's DA. Can you send the patches to me? -Michel

ACK You've caught me in a release trick that failed :-) I always check it back out fresh from the repository before releasing it, and well... I forgot to check in a change :-) Anyway, there's now a beta 2 up on the web site that has just this change. Also, I've fixed the MIME types for those complaining about downloads... the problem didn't show up on UNIX because of the lack of "automagical do what I think I wanna do" features :-) Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli(a)digicool.com http://www.digicool.com

Check in the Control Panel -> Products folder that the product is showing up there correctly, and is not in as a "broken product". If it is broken, go into the product, and look at the traceback.
