Change rendering of a folder
by Danny William Adair 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

Hi, I would like to subclass the folder class and change the way it gets rendered. How would no how will I do that? Usually, a folder object looks if it contains a index_html and calls(renders) it if so. I would like to change this behavior and call a method of my own when the object gets rendered. I remember the rstx_document example, where you subclass from the original and add "Renderable" to the base classes(I think it was important which first), then provide a "render" method in your new ZClass and that's it. This didn't work for "Folder". btw, would I subclass from "OFS: Folder" or from "ObjectManager"? tia, Danny

Restart Zope script
by heatherzau＠yahoo.com 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

Hello. Do you like my script to restart Zope? I don't. I followed instructions in the Zope archive to write a restart script for Zope. It works if I run it from the command line but if I put it in a cron job, it hangs and does not start properly. Can you help me? THANK YOU. Heather #!/usr/bin/python import os, string # My Zope is installed in /usr/zope # So the commands to stop and start it are, stopcmd = "/usr/zope/stop" startcmd = "/usr/zope/start &" # Command to check Zope processes running, cmd = "ps aux | grep zope" # Find the Zope PIDs that are actually running, readstdin = os.popen(cmd).readlines() pids = [] for eachline in readstdin : words = string.split(eachline) if len(words) > 2 : pids.append(words[1]) pids.append(string.split(eachline)[1]) # Find the PIDs that should be running, pidsfile = "/usr/zope/var/Z2.pid" f = open(pidsfile, 'r') data = f.read() f.close() runningpids = 0 zopepids = string.split(data) for eachpid in zopepids : if eachpid in pids : runningpids = runningpids + 1 if runningpids != 2 : os.popen(stopcmd) os.popen(startcmd) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

how do I get rid of 'ghost' objects in Data.fs
by Tony McDonald 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

Hi all, I've been trying to install EventFolder into a Zope 2.2.1 system. I've followed the instructions (I wouldn't be writing here if I hadn't! :) and keep getting an error message; Error type: Could not load oid ÷, pickled data in traceback info may contain clues Error value: None and the traceback... (Info: ('\000\000\000\000\000\000\015\367', '(cExtensionClass\012ExtensionClass\012q\001(U\014TrackerIssueq\002(cZ Classes.ZClass\012PersistentClass\012q\003cProducts.TrackerBase.Tracke rBase Now the thing is, I *do not have* TrackerBase.TrackerBase in my Products folder. To try and get rid of this error, I have deleted *all* the products in my Products Folder and restarted my server. The error message still comes up. I have packed the database and tried 'grep' 215 % grep -i trackerbase Data.fs Binary file Data.fs matches doh! I change my PYTHONHOME to point to a Zope 2.2.1 installation that a lot of servers use. The lib/python/Products directory there shows no TrackerBase there. No TrackerBase in the (local, ie server-specific) directory, Products, either. Can anyone give me a clue as to where to look for this errant Product?

RE: [Zope] meta type?
by hohage 31 Oct '00

Hallo Jason, you are on the right way. Try this in a folder: ----------------- <dtml-in all_meta_types mapping> <dtml-var name> </dtml-in> ----------------- You'll get the names of all the metatypes in the current folder. Bye Sven P.S.:the "available objects" button shows all available metatypes in your installation(you can add more by installing products or creating them on your own). >===== Original Message From "Jason C.

Re: [Zope] siteaccess, hosting etc, sanity check
by Jonathan Cheyne 31 Oct '00

Ok, well I got some success by eliminating apache and using the site accesss example methods and an access rule. but. is this a lower performance solution than fronting zope with apache?

Jason pondered: > How do I get a TinyTable to display it's contents? > > All I find in the docs is  and that does not > seem to work for me, unles I am lacking a tag? Try it like this: <dtml-in tablename> <dtml-var fieldname1> <dtml-var fieldname2><br> </dtml-in> where tablename is the name of your table, and fieldname1, fieldname2 are names of fields. I've not used TinyTables, but this works with other tabular systems. Later, Jerry S.

Re: two more questions

You should probably try to give your mails more helpful subject lines, something like "adding acl_users and databases" would have been great in this case ;-) jacintha menezes wrote: > 1.

It soudns like you're trying to add new users to an acl_users folder. Not sure why you need all those REQUEST.set's, why not just pass them as keyword arguments to manage_users? > 2. Is there any other reliable database which we can use. MySQL, Oracle, PostGres... all have adapters for Zope. You could, of course, use the ZODB, but that's a slightly different kettle of fish. cheers, Chris PS: Please email the list and CC me in rather than just emailing me, there are many more people on the list who will have more knowledge than me in the areas you're asking about.
