FTP problems using emacs
by David C. Morrill 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

I've noticed that I can FTP DTML methods and documents between Zope and emacs, but not other types of objects, such as SQL methods. emacs complains that the file exists, but can't be read, which is born out by the fact that the emacs 'dired' listing shows no rwx permissions at all set for these types of objects. Any explanation for this behavior? Dave Morrill

I created a basic mechanism that serves up all my large files. My requirements might be little different than yours. The main problem I was trying to solve was to have mirroring of large files at different locations. I wanted to use Zope and the Zope security model to restrict what could be downloaded. How I did this was to use a one-time token that last for about 10 mins. This token is created inside zope and used in a redirection to the approriate webserver. A simple python script authenticated the token and served up the file if the token checked out. This solution is one that is transparent to Zope but if anyone's interested I might be able to package it up somewhat.

The price?
by Steen Suder 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

Just wondering... What was the price of the programs in the Zope suite before the "OpenSource revelation"? (I'm asking for boss fodder... ;-) -- Best regards / Mvh., Steen Suder sysadm kollegie6400.dk GNU - makes me feel better! Ehhh, Linux is GNU, right...?

ZOracleDA woes
by Jens Vagelpohl 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

hi everyone, after getting a little help in compiling the darned thing and testing the shared libraries with the DCOracle python test script everything seemed to be OK. Oracle database connections show up as an option to add in the management screen and according to the control panel products page it's available and working as well. when adding a connection (using the legendary scott/tiger account which is proven to work using the sqlplus tool) zope dies and restarts. if i append the ORACLE_SID to the connection string after an @ nothing happens (the browser keeps waiting for any reply). as a last attempt i added ORACLE_SID to the global /etc/profile thinking the connection would not know which instance to connect to, but using the username/password connection string zope still restarts. has anyone seen this behavior or maybe have an idea why it's happening? i'm using zope 2.0.0 final. jens

Forget the search ZODB post...
by Kuraiken 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

I found a great new resource. The new zope beta site has a number of interesting howtos not found on the zdp site! The ZCatalog_howto seems to do what I want...I'll have to test it out. Sorry about that original post - I only recently began poking around the www.zope.org:18200 We really need to get the docs more organized, though... -- ----------------------------------------- Kuraiken - Zope Zealot -----------------------------------------

Searching through the ZODB
by Kuraiken 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

In the FAQ on the ZDP site: ------------- How do I search a Zope site? [FIXME: there are also other ways to search the Zope object database, which should be mentioned here.] ------------- There does not seem to be anywhere else that mentions searching. Here's what I've done: Following the ZClasses tutorial, I now have the CD class and also have a few "myCD"s in a folder. (I'm thinking of making a container object (say, "myCDcollection") and stuffing the CDs in there. Here's the "problem". How do I make searches on the container for a certain object with a certain property? eg. myCD1 title: foo artist: mac myCD2 title: bar artist: pc myCD3 title: grok artist: sparc myCD4 title: hack artist: sparc Now, how do I make a search for a CD with title "bar" in container "myCDcollection"? And if I wanted to display all CDs with artist "sparc"? Is there something _really_ simple I've overlooked? Thanks in advance... -- ----------------------------------------- Kuraiken - Python fanatic. ----------------------------------------- Python. Try it.

Icon upload is broken.
by Kuraiken 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

Hello folks, I think the icon upload mechanism is broken in the class "basic" management page. I did a small icon and uploaded it but the image displayed is a broken image icon. Uploading stuff as image objects work fine, though - as normal. As a work-around, is there a way to get the zclass to "get" an image uploaded elsewhere? Say as "xyz_icon"... Thanks. -- ----------------------------------------- Kuraiken - Python fanatic. ----------------------------------------- Python. Try it.
