Been pretty quiet on the lists WRT HiperDOM, which I got the impression was going to be about this. Are there any DC initiatives into this? Lalo, any word from the trenches? ;-) cheers, Chris

weird bug?
by michael angelo ruberto 01 Dec '00

01 Dec '00

hi, one of the DTML methods i've created recently has started to create problems. the method adds properties to documents as people browse zope. it worked fine for a while but now it's causing zope to prompt for a password. i gave the method manager proxy which solved the problem on my test server but didn't make a difference on the intranet zope. the error generated when you click Cancel on the password prompt is "You are not authorized to access manage_addProperties." as far as i know nobody has changed anything related to permissions. is there some kind of bug causing this? the method is being run on version 1.5.2. any ideas appreciated. -<mike>-

Help! Accessing product constructors & methods programmatically
by mgushee＠architag.com 01 Dec '00

01 Dec '00

Hello, Zopers-- I'm fairly new at this, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. Anyway, I've been looking for a way to do a bulk upload of XML documents from a local directory. So I need a method (either DTML or Python is fine with me) that would build a list of files and create an XML Document object from each one. I have tried a variety of different approaches, but I can't find a way to access the XMLDocument.add() method. Can anyone suggest an approach to this problem? Any relevant documents I need to read? Thanks in advance for your help.

Making lots of external data searchable?
by Anselm Lingnau 01 Dec '00

01 Dec '00

I'm using Zope to re-vamp a web site, one of whose most important features is an archive of a reasonably busy mailing list, which is accessed using home-grown Perl CGI code. I've written Python code to let users browse the archive sorted by users, subject etc., but now I'm looking at allowing text searches. The »old« instance of the web site used Glimpse and a simple CGI script (in Perl) to do this across the whole site (including the mail archive) and ideally this would be what I'm after for the new version as well. However, the mail archive now weighs in at about 45 MB in individual text files (one per message), and I don't really see myself putting this into the ZODB so I can use ZCatalog. ZCatalog, however, looks good for indexing the rest of the site (I haven't done this yet). Is there a reasonable way of interfacing Glimpse with the Zope searching machinery so I could again have one-stop searching of the whole site? (It would probably be straightforward to search just the mail archive by calling out to Glimpse and massaging the results.)

Re: [Zope] ZClasses & inheriting property(sheets) : yes/no?
by zope＠concision.com 01 Dec '00

01 Dec '00

I've been struggling with this problem myself. In particular I can't get the parent propertysheet management method to appear on the Views method list. Is it necessary that the subclass also be contained in the parent? In my design, there is no containment or acquiring relationship between the parent class and the subclass.

Why Not Zope? 'Cos I like to bitch! ;-)

Unless you >happen to see the emails going out on resolution, you >really aren't aware of the activity going on :( Indeed, I wrote this mostly because of the Collector's interface. I'm quite careful to write "it's not apparent to a casual observer whether DC is responsive or not," and do not claim anything about the accuracy of that perception. I've sent in a few patches through the Collector; sometimes the response is quick, sometimes it isn't, either of which can be a reasonable reaction depending on the seriousness of the bug. But it's often not apparent what's going on, at least to an outsider. The SourceForge bug tracking tools make it more apparent what's happening with a bug (or not happening); so does Bugzilla, but Bugzilla seems endlessly overcomplicated in other ways. --amk
