opinions please

hello, i am searching for opinions on a project i am considering. the project is to create a product or script to allow users to email documents into Zope as attachments. then the documents are to be placed in the proper folder according to information in the subject line of the email they rode in on. what i would like to know is, is this possible? if it is, how hard will this be to implement? the other idea was to create a client app where users can drop the document onto a desktop icon and the app uses webDAV to put it into Zope. would this be easier or harder?

can multiple users access gadfly database simultaneously ?
by jacintha menezes 14 Nov '00

14 Nov '00

Hi, When two users enter their login name & password and press enter simultaniously,the first who entered among the two gets the following error. Error Type: SyntaxError Error Value: unexpected token sequence.near :: 'of_que\012from noq'*'' ******************************* current state = 277 expects: '*', ';', ')', 'ORDER', ('nomatch1',) current token = ((-6, 'FROM'), 'FROM') The above error is while entering the Zope .Again If they fill the form & click submit button simultaniously.The following error occurs for the user who presses submit button first. Error Type: SyntaxError Error Value: unexpected token sequence.near :: "\012Q_name = 'q24'"*'' ******************************* current state = 231 expects: 'EXCEPT', '+', ')', 'HAVING', '-', 'UNION', 'AND', 'GROUP', '*', ';', 'OR', 'ORDER', 'INTERSECT', ('nomatch1',) current token = ((-6, 'WHERE'), 'WHERE') Both users will be accessing the same database. I don't know why this error occurs.If we refresh the error occurred page then it doesn't give error(that time no other user was pressing submit button). In the product which i have implemented multiple users will enter & fill the forms simultaneously. waiting for your immediate reply. bye, jacintha

How to maintain an up-to-date mirror site in Zope? (not-so-newbie question!) question!)
by Bowyer, Alex 14 Nov '00

14 Nov '00

Here is the situation, can you offer advice? Machine A is running a Zope server for a wide-area network in Company A. This is an Intranet site which changes regularly. Machine B serves a separate wide-area network in Company B, and Company B employees need access to Company A's intranet. The link between Machine A and Machine B is too slow/low-bandwidth for all of company B's employees to access A's intranet directly. Therefore we want to have a Zope server on Machine B with a mirror copy of the Company A intranet. The problem is, how can we keep this mirror copy updated on a daily basis? Ideally we need an automatic process to run each night and update the mirror on B. The ideas I had were : 1) stop B's Zope server, copy across data.fs and restart B. But can this be done automatically? 2) somehow keep a log of changes made in A, and at the end of day, export the changed files, import them on B, overwriting the originals. Can this be done in Zope code? Can this be automated? Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions on these ideas? Or does anyone know of a better way, perhaps an existing Zope package or solution?

Form variables with same name as folder names
by Burwell, Becky <burwell＠parc.xerox.com> 13 Nov '00

13 Nov '00

Hi. I am new to using Zope and just got stuck on the following problem. I am trying to use forms with an SQL database. I have a form with checkboxes and I use variables like FOO to capture the value. For example: <input type="checkbox" name="FOO" value="1"> The form has a post with the action to call a DTML document. In my DTML document I call a Z SQL Method called InsertMethod with REQUEST as the argument, for example InsertMethod(REQUEST). My Z SQL Method InsertMethod has arguments including FOO="" And then in the body of the Z SQL method I have: <dtml-if FOO> {code to insert into a database table} ---------------- This working UNTIL I created a Folder named FOO. Then the value of FOO in the Z SQL method seemed to be the FOO folder and not FOO from REQUEST. My workaround was to call the variable FOOCHECKBOX. Two questions: 1) the ZSQL manual, http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/ZSQL-HTML/ZSQL.1.4.4.html, says that the first lookup should be variables in HTTP_REQUEST. So why is FOO referring to my folder FOO? 2) is there some way I could have referred to the variable FOO in my Z SQL method without resorting to renaming the variable in my form? Thanks! *becky*

Calling obj. in index_html

I had to catch myself. expr="Bad Jimbo" I guess calling it versus inserting it achieves the same results. Just to clarify this would render a string "_['ftp']" right? -Jimbo
