RE: [Zope] database connection problem (halting Zope)
by Hrasky Petr 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

Hello, thank you for answers. To clarify: I run Zope-2.2.2/Linux2.2.14/MySQL-ZMySQLDA1.1.3nonbin at home and Zope-2.2.2-binary/NT4.0Workstation/ZODBCDA3.1.0b2 (Oracle 8i ODBC, Sybase11.5)at work. Oracle connection at work and MySQL (at home just for testing) run looong queries and halt Zope. I have no such queries for Sybase yet. I will try to recompile python for linux, but I can't do so for WinNT as I have no compiler. Anyway I thought the python distributed with binary release of Zope is threaded, no? So, does anybody know of either binary and threaded Zope driver for Oracle , Sybase etc. or the same ODBC driver? And what is the state of python threading on WinNT paltform?

I spent yesterday afternoon and this Count on it. That's why the install instructions explain that python isn't compiled with threads by default. -- Tim Cook -- Cook Information Systems | Office: (901) 884-4126 8am-5pm CDT * It's easy to stop making mistakes.

database connection problem (halting Zope)
by Hrasky Petr 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

Hello everybody, I started to play with Zope in order to use it as intranet platform. For this I need database access. I tried odbc and MySQL and got it working fine. However we have some existing warehouse queries which take minutes to complete. When I set up ZODBC connection and ZSQL method to access such query, it halts all other Zope activities until it finishes. I tried this both with NT Zope and Linux Zope, ODBC and MySQL DAs. As long as the query runs, no other requests are serviced. I understand that long query blocks database connection, but I thought Zope is threaded, so it should run other requests not using this database connection just fine, no? Could it be that the python binary used is not compiled for threading? I spent yesterday afternoon and this morning looking for solution to this problem on the net, but with no luck yet. Can anybody enlighten me why is that? And what can I do to fix this. Otherwise I like Zope a lot. Easy, featured, just great. Thanks in advance and Best regards, Petr Hrasky -------------------------------------------- IT Department BNP-Dresdner Bank (CR), a.s. +420-2-57006474

Re: [Zope] 'websafe' colours

[Curtis Maloney] | As I understand it, it's due to system palettes. On low colour | machines (256 or even 16colour) some colours are reserved for the | system GUI so that you can match the 'theme', leaving you with fewer | than the full capacity of the display you are using. Actually the problem with many colours is that there is slight difference between how they are shown in for example BGCOLOR and in a gif. There was an article about this in the online version of Wired. -Magnus

displaying based on date
by Timothy Wilson 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

Hi everyone, I've created a ZClass and I'm using an HTML table to display certain properties of the class. One of the properties is a date, and I want to display in the table only those instances of the ZClass for which this certain date property is in the future. (It's a job posting ZClass, and I only want to display jobs that haven't yet closed.) I see in the ZQR that there is an 'isFuture' test that looks like it is associated with fmt. ZQR says for isFuture, "Return true if this object represents a date/time later than the time of the call." Can I combine this with a <dtml-if>? Is there a more elegant way? -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.

script execution timeout?
by J�lio Dinis Silva 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

Hi all, Is there a place to define a script execution timeout? I've been using urllib and there is no way to kill a urllib.open if its taking too long. Does zope has that implemented?

Access problems

03 Oct '00

Hi all! I have a serious and extremely urgent problem concerning my zope installation (2.2.1 on Unix): Whatever resource I'm trying to access, I get the following --------------- Attribute Error --------------- Traceback (innermost last): File /home/sites/site3/users/.../2-2-1/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /home/sites/site3/users/.../2-2-1/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /home/sites/site3/users/.../2-2-1/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /home/sites/site3/users/.../2-2-1/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 162, in publish File /home/sites/site3/users/.../2-2-1/lib/python/ZPublisher/BaseRequest.py, line 438, in traverse File /home/sites/site3/users/.../2-2-1/lib/python/ZPublisher/BaseRequest.py, line 514, in old_validation (Object: broken) AttributeError: (see above) Furthermore, I have to authenticate on _every_ occasion, even with objects I know are totally available to Anonymous. After (http) authentication I get the above mentioned attribute error. I'm clueless. What is this about? Thanking you so much in advance, Prost, Danny P.S.: Of course I can't recall doing anything rude to my installation, actually I can't recall doing _anything_. (What they all say)

Guidelines for showing most exciting things of Zope?
by Tom Deprez 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

Hi, When I tell people about Zope and give a demo, at the end, I always realise that I could have told this and that and that I forgot this and that. Now, has somebody already prepared some things which could be used as a practical guideline when presenting Zope to outsiders? If not, what do you think would need to be told to convince people that it's worth looking at it by themselfs? Do people think such a practical guideline would be usefull? Tom.
