Hi, I am a zope NewBie and am learning how to use Zwiki. Can any one Please mail me the Customised version of Zwiki which is in existence On Zope.org. I want to develop some thing same with some extra features. Existing Zwiki requires me to tweak some DTML code with which I am not much familiar.

serving java applet fails
by Umesh Soni 24 Oct '00

24 Oct '00

hi all, I'm having problems serving up the EIRC java chat-client from within zope. I have uploaded two java archives EIRC-gfx.jar and EIRC.jar as file objects via the management screen. Zope has recognised these as 'application/java-archive' content types. I am using the following dtml (which is in the same folder as the two java archives) to serve the applet <dtml-var standard_html_header> <applet code="EIRC" archive="EIRC.jar,EIRC-gfx.jar" width="618" height="400"> <param name="server" value="localhost"> <param name="port" value="6667"> <param name="mainbg" value="#C0C0C0"> <param name="mainfg" value="#000000"> <param name="textbg" value="#FFFFFF"> <param name="textfg" value="#000000"> <param name="channel" value="#eirc"> <param name="titleExtra" value=" - EIRC"> <param name="username" value="eirc"> <param name="realname" value="Eteria IRC Client - http://eirc.sourceforge.net/"> <param name="nickname" value="Guest????"> <param name="password" value=""> <param name="servPassword" value=""> <param name="login" value="1"> <param name="language" value="en"> <param name="country" value="US"> <h1>Eteria IRC Client</h1> <p> Sorry, but you need a Java 1.x enabled browser to use EIRC.</p> </applet> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> The applet loads (and runs) fine when served from from the filesystem with apache. When served from zope it appears to load ok and is even rendered within the browser -but at the last moment fails to run with the following browser error; Applet EIRC can't start: ERROR Any thoughts? umesh

ZGDChart product...
by zope 24 Oct '00

24 Oct '00

Hi. This is really a great product. Unfortunately, I'm not able to create a chart with multiple columns using a ZSQL Data Method. Multiple columns with a DTML-Method works fine. Do I miss something. Any ideas? Thanks for any help. Regards, Marc Ludwig (zope(a)isp.lu)

Re: [Zope] Apache in front of ZServer

* "Phil Harris" <phil.harris(a)zope.co.uk> | Jorn, | | It's perfectly possible, you just need to do a little work ;) That's OK, that way it'll be more fun :-) | Your proxy pass will be something like this: | | ProxyPass / http://myserver.com:8080/ | ProxyPassReverse http://myserver.com:8080/ / I had that one already figured out. but I thought the ProxyPassReverse directive was to be the other way around: To be exactly like the ProxyPass directive? | for the other part of serving static content, it really depends what you | want but here are two ways to do it. | | 1. use the LocalFileSystem product, | http://www.zope.org/Products/Members/jfarr/Products/LocalFS/LocalFS-0.9.6.tg | z That I already do, so that one is okay. | 2. use Apache to intercept calls to a specific dir before passing it onto | Zope, e.g. use a RewriteRule. Yup, this is what I need. I think was being unclear about what I really -wanted: I want to still be able to use php and such thing, even if I serve Zope from root. So the RewriteRule does the trick?

Apache in front of ZServer
by jornd＠falch.net 24 Oct '00

24 Oct '00

Hi all! I am aware of <URL: http://www.zope.org/Members/anser/apache_zserver>, but I am looking for at way to make Apache serve Zope from the root URL. It is possible to make the apache front end <http://machine.domain.com/Zope> be served by zope backend <http://machine.domain.com:8080>, but what really want is to make apache frontend <http://machine.domain.com> be served by Zope, and still be able to serve static content from selected locations. Example: <http://machine.domain.com/> <- Zope w/Apache frontend <http://machine.domain.com/static> <- Apache static Am I clear? Is it possible to do that without NameVirtualHost? -- Jørn Helge B.

RE: [Zope] Updating auto incrementing counter in a propertysheet
by Max Møller Rasmussen 24 Oct '00

From: Bill Anderson [mailto:bill.anderson@libc.org] >Is it more important that they be in an order, or that they be in a >specific sequential list? Actually what is important is that they are integers and in a specific order. So the datestamp method isn't that feasible for me. (I'm trying to make a "fake tree" for a diskussion product.) It is really easy to implement and doesn't use recursion, so traversing the tree is done with a simple for loop. It uses a dictionary with tupples as keys to emulate the recursive structure. Simple example here if anybody cares. ------------------------- class fakeTree: def __init__(self): #create tree and insert root element self.treeKeys = {} self.treeKeys[0] = (0,) self.tree = {} self.tree[(0,)] = '' def insert(self, id, parent, value): # create new key keyList = list(self.treeKeys[parent]) newKeyList = keyList.append(id) newKeyTuple = tuple(newKeyList) self.treeKeys[id] = newKeyTuple # insert in tree with new tuple key self.tree[newKeyTuple] = value def print(self): sortedKeys = treeKeys.keys() sortedKeys.sort() spacesInIndent = 3 for key in sortedKeys: print key print spacesInIndent * len(key) * ' ' + treeKeys[key] tree = fakeTree() tree.insert(1, 0, 'max m') tree.insert(2, 0, 'gitte') tree.insert(3, 1, 'magnus') tree.print()

From: Aleksander Salwa [mailto:ololo@zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl] >> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('new_id', lastID+1)"> >> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set(lastID, new_id)"> >In the above line --- do you want to set up new value for ZClass property, >isn't it ? >If so, you have to use manage_changeProperties method of property sheet. Yes I am afraid that this is the problem. That seems like such a messy solution too. I will try and make a Python based product instead, for this particular solution. My current zClass solution allready seem to be a bit verbose for my liking. And the program logic isn't to nice in dtml either. Regards Max M

One last request
by Taco Scargo 24 Oct '00

24 Oct '00

I have one unsolved mystery left. What I am trying to do is print the titles from the DTML Documents in the 'artikelen' folder (and actually another property called 'inleiding'. I believe the code below should do this, but it does not work. It returns 'Zope' instead of the title. If I use the 'inleiding' property it reports that it does not exist. If I just use sequence-item it returns the complete item ok. Any clues ? Thanks, Taco http://www.gezondheidskrant.nl:8080/mainframe : <dtml-let articleList="[]"> <dtml-in "artikelen.objectValues(['DTML Document'])" sort=publiceren_vanaf> <dtml-call "articleList.append(_['sequence-item'])"> </dtml-in> <dtml-in "articleList[-4:]" reverse> <dtml-let theDocument=sequence-item> <dtml-var "theDocument.title"> <dtml-var "theDocument.inleiding"> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> </dtml-let>

newbie questions ?
by Olivier Ricou 24 Oct '00

24 Oct '00

Hi, I spent my week-end learning how to use Zope, it was a nice painful experience. Nice thanks to Zope itself, painful because of the poor docs. The How-Tos helped me a lot but it is a real mess. Here are two questions I did not find the answers : - how to ask for authentification to see my web pages (not manage, just see) ? In Apache one has to put a .htaccess file in the directory. - how to limit the size a folder ? I want to give login to friends so they can add photos in a folder but I don't want to receive more than 200MB of data in this folder. Thanks, Olivier.
