I don't know if your 90% problem is the same as the one I've been having, but I'm scratching my head a lot here: When I test my site using IE5.5, the page seems to get fragmented somewhere along the way. Usually, all but the last few bytes arrive at the browser. Sometimes _only_ the last few bytes arrive at the browser. But using NS under 'nix, everything's fine. I've tried running the HTTP headers from each browser through a telnet session and I seem to get all the data every time. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? You can check it out at http://test1.jamkit.com and if you're running IE you may see either a stray </ta at the bottom of the screen, or perhaps just a ble></body></html> on a white background.

IMAP and WorldPilot?
by Cymen Vig 03 Dec '00

03 Dec '00

I'm trying to setup WorldPilot on one server with IMAP running on another. The documentation for the install says simply: "Set your corresponding IMAP and SMTP servers, if they are not on localhost." I went ahead and added a MailHost (SMTP) server but how do I add an IMAP one? Do I need to digup a product? Thanks, Cymen Vig cvig(a)raw-io.com

ZMySQL Database Connection
by corey＠axcelerant.com 03 Dec '00

03 Dec '00

Greetings! I'm at the point where I could really use some help... Specifically, I cannot for the life of me get a ZMySQL instance to work - on two different machines, using about 4 different combinations of Zope, Python, ZMySQLDA and MySQLdb versions... What occurs ( depending on which particular combo I try ) is one of three things, either: #1 - the loading of the ZMySQLDA Product fails entirely, causing Zope itself to die upon startup, or #2 - an error about invalid syntax or somesuch occurs, although the sql query is perfectly correct. ( sorry, I can't remember the exact error msg, although it occured frequently through my attempts - and I'm not going to try and reproduce it ) or #3 - the following error is recieved: 'There was no data matching this Z MySQL Database Connection (connected) query.' Even though I *know* that the simple query I'm testing with *definately* returns data. I was finally able to get past errors #1 and #2, with #3 being the closest I've been able to get everything working - I can create and load the ZMysqlDA Product just fine, I can test the query, without error #2, but for some reason no matter what - the response is *allways* that there was no data matching my query! I've attempted the same query using the same user on the same database with the same table via the mysql client just fine... why is Zope failing me? Any suggestions? Anyone else run accross this problem? I'm at wits end here. I've been through ever possible logical solution I can think of to no avail. Is there some lower level interface or debug or log that I can inspect for further details? Current config: Zope version: Zope 2.2.4 (source release, python 1.5.2, linux2) Python version: 2.0 (#1, Oct 25 2000, 19:37:52) [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)] System Platform: linux2 ZMySQLDA: 1.2.0 MySQLdb: 0.1.2 Beers, Corey

Monitoring Zope.
by Jason C. Leach 03 Dec '00

03 Dec '00

hi, A while ago someone was asking about monitoring zope. This is a simple python script I use to keep an eye on the server. It's run in cron, every so often it fetches the last known zope PID, and makes sure zope is still running on it. If it's not, it runs the Zope startup script. I'll eventual improve upon it so it mails me a note and makes a log so I know if zope starts to bail quite a bit. j. ...................... ..... Jason C. Leach ...

Zope.Org: Not a good example...

The "Portal Toolkit product":http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK is intended to play the part you are looking for. The Zope.org site actually runs (for the near term) off a primordial form of the PTK. The PTK has a Link class which should be just what you are looking for (defined as a Python filesystem module), along with a UseCase ZClass (showing how to implement content types as ZClasses). > This isn't the only example.

The SoftwareProduct/ProductRelease content types are *not* in the current PTK. I would guess that reimplementing them would require a relatively small amount of effort; in fact, we are planning to do that in the relatively near future.

It is strange that it worked before you added the manager proxy role: "manage_addProperties" is for good reasons protected. It is strange, too, that the proxy role does not work in the other installation. Do you use Zope 2.2? In this case, maybe, something is wrong with the owner of the method. Moreover, proxy roles are no longer inherited to called methods. Dieter

Re: [Zope] ZopeBook ZCatalog Question

Chris Gray writes: > Zope Book - Chapter 9 - 2nd sentence: > > "You can also use it to search external data such as relational data, > files, and remote web pages." > > Can anyone point me to further information on how to do these things? ZCatalog uses the method "objectItems" to find the children of an object in the ZCatalog method "Find Objects to Catalog". Thus, to extend cataloguing into a database, you will need an object the "objectItems" of which will return the database records you want to be cataloged. You can not use raw database records, as the catalog requires each catalogued object to be URL addressable (it uses the URL to identify the object). Thus, you must use a pluggable brain (--> Advanced tab of Z SQL methods management interface) to provide the "absolute_url" method (or whatever ZCatalog will tell you, it does not find during the cataloguing). As you probably will be interested, that the object can be retrieved with the URL, you will also need to learn about "direct traversal". This is make database records URL addressable. As you may see, it is not trivial. Dieter

mgushee(a)architag.com writes: > Can anyone suggest an approach to this problem? Any relevant > documents I need to read? I like to repeat my general remark (you find it several time in the (searchable) list archiv ;-)): Whenever, you can do something with the Zope management interface, you can do it programmatically. Moreover, a look at the source of the Zope management pages (mostly DTML and mostly in the OFS/ and App/ subfolders of your distribution), will tell you how to do it. Dieter
