The meaning of Zope
by Bob Sidebotham 27 Dec '00

27 Dec '00

>From http://www.kabalarians.com/male/zope.htm Zope Your first name of Zope has given you an expressive, diplomatic, and refined nature. Although you have a good appreciation of material values, business ability, and skill in organizing and managing others, your success is restricted by a lack of self-confidence and initiative. You have very expensive tastes, and your desires could well exceed your initiative in providing for them through your own efforts. Personal appearance is important to you. You are always well-groomed yourself, and you judge others by your own standard. You do not like to rough it or use much physical energy. Through your diplomatic ways you are able to call on the assistance of others to avoid such matters. You have good business judgment but lack the confidence to carry out your own ideas unless assisted by an associate. From a desire to eat too many rich foods, your health could suffer through kidney and generative troubles or any problems affecting the fluid functions of the body.

Zope under Irix 5.3 ?
by Dimitris Andrakakis 26 Dec '00

26 Dec '00

Merry Xmas everybody ! I'm trying to get zope to work on an SGI, Irix 5.3. Python isn't available, so I have to compile it my own being a normal user, not root, with quota and all... anyway. I compile Python (1.5.2), in my home dir with threads and all (as I've read in tyhe how-to's). Then I untar zope (2.2.4) run the -wo_pcgi (I'll be working with ZServer only, so it should be fine), set the superuser password and make the ./start script as follows: reldir=`dirname $0` PYTHONHOME=`cd $reldir; pwd` export PYTHONHOME exec /path-to-my-python-installation/bin/python \ $PYTHONHOME/z2.py \ -w 8000 "$@" Then go to my zope dir and ./start... but it doesn't work :-( That's what I get: Traceback (innermost last): File "/my-home-dir/zope/z2.py", line 554, in ? exec "import "+MODULE in {} File "<string>", line 1, in ? File "/my-home-dir/zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py", line 94, in ? import ZODB, ZODB.ZApplication, imp File "/my-home-dir/zope/lib/python/ZODB/__init__.py", line 85, in ? import sys, ExtensionClass, TimeStamp, cPersistence, Persistence ImportError: No module named ExtensionClass Is it something I've missed when I compiled python ? Or a specific irix issue ? or something else ? Have the best of times, Dimitris

[BUG] calling a constructor crashes Zope
by Andreas Jung 25 Dec '00

25 Dec '00

While developing a product I encountered the following fatal problem. I added a stupid class declaration to my product: class AJFile: def __init__(self): self.d = {} Inside a function of the product I call "AJF = AJFile()". Zope/Python call __init__() but crashes before the initialisation of self.d (a debugging message before self.d={} is always the last life sign). Zope completely crashes in this situation. However I have no idea how get solve this problem. I do not see a core dump nor any debugging or error messages on stdout/stderr. The problem occurs with Zope 2.2.4 and 2.3alpha1 (Linux i386). Any ideas for further debugging ? Andreas

Var Problem
by Ben Ocean 25 Dec '00

25 Dec '00

Hi; Real basic newbie question here. I've got this dtml: <span class="header"><dtml-var header></span> <span class="bar"><dtml-var bar></span> They're both images in the *Images* file (I'm using PTK). Now, *header* shows up just fine. *bar* gets a KeyError. If I change the name of *header* it chokes, too. What gives? TIA, BenO P.S. All the CSS is written in the standard_html_header.

That would probably give me quite a jumpstart. In fact there is some documentation on the ZDP-Tools available here: http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zdptools/Drafts I have started a howto on using the ZDP-Tools for a Weblog here: http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zdptools/Drafts/weblog/weblogmanual It will also help to know about the law of demeter: http://uzopia.editthispage.com/discuss/msgReader$24 > I've been following the PTK developments from a distance, and much of that > looks really cool.

It was the same last year in december when I started the ZDP-Tools project :-) I have some interesting stuff on this on my weblog: http://uzopia.editthispage.com/discuss/msgReader$9 > My site is for a K-12 school district in the States.

Don't miss this article on Uzopia: http://uzopia.editthispage.com/discuss/msgReader$10 > Unfortunately, I'm trying to wade through all this > stuff essentially on my own. Thanks for any help you can provide! Tell me what additional information you need, and I may take some time to write it down.

pb : transparent folder 0.3 and ZSQL methods
by Didier Georgieff 24 Dec '00

24 Dec '00

Hello, I have a (regular) folder on root level with ZSQL methods. I have a transparent folder on root level with a ZMySQLdatabase connection When i manage any of the ZSQL method, i get that : Warning: There are no SQL database connections. You need to add a Zope SQL database connection before you can use an Zope SQL Method BUT test tab works fine, and overall, the ZSQL methods called thru DTML are still working (it didn't broke my application) When i put a ZMysqldatabase connection in the folder with ZSQL methods, suddently, managing the ZSQLmethod brings all the right informations (but with the "new" ZmySQLdatabase connection). So, as all works fine, except the "edit" tab on ZSQLMethod, I tried to look at the "SQLConnectionIDs" to see if i can workaround it but this is (much) over my python knowledge so .... Is it a problem in TP 0.3 or in ZSQL methods ? Any idea ? I'm on Linux, 2.2.4, siteroot, the 3 latest hotfix, and transparent Folder 0.3 ZMysqlDA 1.2.0 PS : i don't know if the problem was there on TP 0.2 because i didn't touched the ZSQL methods for a while (before reorganizing with the Tranparent Folder, which is a great great great (tm) product.
