Debugging errors?
by Guy Jacobson 21 Sep '99

21 Sep '99

I am getting a mysterious error when I try to add a discussion to Squishdot: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: not enough arguments; expected 2, got 1 I have no idea where in the code of Zope or Squishdot this comes from. How would I go about debugging it? I checked the logs and there is nothing in them about this error. Thank you, Guy.

RE: ZopeTime() and string.split/string.join

Nevermind. Sorry... The answer is to replace <dtml-let tmp_time="ZopeTime()"> with <dtml-let tmp_time="_.str(ZopeTime())"> This changes the object value into a string.

RV: About knowledge product....
by Francisco Sam Castillo 20 Sep '99

20 Sep '99

Hello, Please, please someone help me out I know this issues must be very easy, for many of you to solve, don´t leave me alone here!.... Hello, I know I must have mist something really obvious but still, has anyone installed the knowledge product?, I have imported it fine, I see the FAQ anf KB entry options in my selection menu it works but I just can not find the way to set the forms to appear on the site for public view, because if you select either the FAQ or the KB Entry you get a form, and the procedure to create the two methods mention on the zope zite will just list all ready made entries, but there is no way to set the input forms to be displayed on the site (for the users), what am I missing here, cud some one help me? Also If I understand correctly ZOBD3 replaced boboPOS one , there is an example of a job board on the old zope site which I guess was design to work with zope 1.x but fails with version 2.x is there a guide or how'to to upgrade it and make it work on zope 2.0 ? One interesting thing is that ZOBD3 being a transactional object databaseand for example Mysql that is not, when use together you do get the benefits of transactional Databases because zope will rollback if anything goes wrong as a transactional database should do, and I think this is great you almost have the best of both worlds without any penalty isn't that great? Thanks a lot in advanced Sam > >

ANNOUNCE: Training and conferences
by Paul Everitt 20 Sep '99

20 Sep '99

Howdy all. I'll have a longer post tomorrow, but I wanted to ahead and get two toes in the water. First, the next Zope training course will be in Colorado Springs Oct 18-20. Since the course will be taught onsite for a customer, there are only a few public seats available. If you're interested, please let me know. Second, we are working with Guido van Rossum and the other folks at Python headquarters to have a Zope "track" at the next Python conference: http://www.python.org/workshops/2000-01/index.html The Zope "track" means Zope material presented at each of the three days. The current thinking is to have tutorials on the tutorial days, a couple of sessions that are abbreviated tutorials, presentations, and Q&As. We'll also be doing other Zope stuff, such as t-shirts for those people registering in the Zope track, cd-roms, and other trinket-like propaganda. Chances are we'll queue up some announcements to land at the conference as well. Here's what I need, though. If you think you'd go to the Zope track at the Python conference, _and_ you'd register for the Zope track, please send me an email pronto. Also, if you'd like a slot to make a presentation, let me know. --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul(a)digicool.com 540.371.6909 ----------------------------------------- The Open Source Zope application server http://www.zope.org/

RE: [Zope] Rich client side questions

It should be straightforward enough (although not a trivial effort) to extend ZPublisher to understand CORBA just like it understands HTTP and FTP, WebDAV and XML-RPC. In fact, the ORBish concepts in ZPublisher would map rather nicely to CORBA. > o Any other ideas besides Java to do the client side work?

If you're going to bother adding a protocol, you might as well add CORBA since there are existing python tools. > > o How well does Zope without Apache serve up applets? They're just files right? Should work the same as apache. -Michel
