hi! config: zope 2.1.6 under red hat with customized UserDB. i'm having a strange problem with cookie based user authentication with ms internet explorer 5.5 on windows. it seems that the browser (but only this version and only under windows!) seems to "forget" its cookies, which results in an immediate logout. does anybody have similar experiences or a even solution? any help would be appreciated. ciao, basti -------------------------------------------------------------------------- sebastian f. luehnsdorf beehive elektronische medien gmbh -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://basti.beehive.de http://www.beehive.de mailto:basti@beehive.de mailto:service@beehive.de http://www.zope.de fon: (+49 30) 84 78 20 http://www.i-surf.de fax: (+49 30) 84 78 22 99

Container Class questions
by geoff＠northernwastes.org 06 Oct '00

06 Oct '00

A hopefully simple Zope question from a relative newbie: This is for a project desiged to demonstrate the power of Zopish content management to potential customer, and right now I'm trying to create a simple product with a few attributes and that can contain (or be associated with) an image. Not all products will have associated images. The general idea is to create a catalog of items that potential customers can manipulate as if it was thiers. I can easily create a product like the CD class demonstrated in the Zope documentation. I can iterate over all of my catalog items and display all the attributes I give them. But I'm at a bit of a loss about how to associate an image with my sample catalog objects. Should I create a product that can contain said images? If so, how do I do this? Should I simply force a naming conventions for the images and tie them together with the sample catalog items that way? Can anyone out there point me towards a good source of documentation for this sort of thing? Many thanks for any help, //glw

sudden ZClass breakage
by Timothy Wilson 06 Oct '00

06 Oct '00

Hi everyone, I've been working away on a ZClass-based product that will provide a searchable job board for our Human Resources Dept. here at school. Things were going along fine until, it seemed, out of the blue I started getting an error message about an "Invalid Date-Time String" and a lengthy traceback. I'm wondering if anyone can glean anything from the traceback. Is this one of those obvious errors that I'm just missing? I'm really puzzled. Any advice would be appreciated. Here's the traceback:  -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.

Subtracting DateTimes?????
by Daniel Rusch 05 Oct '00

05 Oct '00

We backup our database every night at 3:00 AM CT. 15 minutes prior to this (i.e. 2:45 AM) I would like to display a warning. How do I compare the current time <dtml-var "(ZopeTime()).toZone('US/Central')"> to 3:00 AM Central Time ????? <dtml-if "(ZopeTime()).toZone('US/Central') - 0.3"> doesn't work. Any thoughts??? Dan

improvement to ZEO/Zope how-to
by Bill Welch 05 Oct '00

05 Oct '00

Thanks, kedai, for putting this together - it really helped. Now for an improvement - please note that custom_zodb.py needs to go in INSTANCE_HOME, which is not necessarily the same as the Zope installation directory.

I had compiled DCOracle 1.3.1 b1 libraries as .dll's a while back on WinNT4.0 against Oracle 8.1.6.0 and they worked fine for me until we moved onto Linux. I've attached it hoping it works for you (and maybe others). Ayhan Ergul <ergul(a)acm.org>

Client.py and timeouts
by Hannes 05 Oct '00

05 Oct '00

I recently used Client.py to get data from the web into the zope machinery, the setup was exactly as proposed in the ZClient How-To. Maybe I missed something, but the Client module seems to support the setting of an timeout, but I was unable to finger out the right syntax I thought of: web_client(url='http://someserver.com', timeout=60) or some variants of it. (or it doesnt work at all for some other reasons.) Any help would be appreciated.. Hannes
