March 2000 - Zope - Zope lists

Status of the PTK (Portal Toolkit)
by Alexander Limi 31 Mar '00

Hi. I would just like to know how far the PTK has progressed. Is the code sufficiently complete for me to create a user with individual preferences/properties yet? I don't need the whole shaboodle, user code will do me fine right now. And please CC me, I'm still not on the list :( Regards, Alexander. Who would prefer _not_ to implement his own proprietary "user with properties" code. :)

Zope in Jpython
by Sin Hang Kin 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

Zope is greate, all reviews say so. Most of the reviews complain the documentation. I believe all come to known zope have experience the same difficults and all those remains can feel the power of zope. Not only the documentation is matter. Under the greate architecture, zope is inconsistance, non-intutive, and mistiness. To be fast to market is not enough, it must also easy to maintain, endure greate and fast change to make zope success. To make good use of zope, one should paid more attentation on content instead of control. Making separation of control and content as deep as possible. Write re-usable, structural components. I believe the following is very important : 1. re-introduce unified naming convention. encourage developers to change over this 2. move un-necessary codes from the zope kernel to user space: <base> <lang> ... 3. support of unicode 4. make zope content easy to co-operative with current technonlgy especially search engines. zope oodb is greate, but it prevent other apps to access the data, so it is difficult to contruct a local search facility. 5. support cvs style versioning 6. multiple output format 7. new scripting language, encourage separation of content and control, may be more xsl and xpointer style. Converting zope to Jpython have the following benefits: 1. Unicode support 2. draw other java components : for example, several xml tools being develop in Apache.org is very useful. If a complete re-write is not economic, at least DC should consider how to separate the content and control in zope, make the syntax easy to learn and use. Rgs, Kent Sin

>i don't know what more tell you about the error. In case you have not realized, what you have provided is NOT an error message. I don't know why you call it an error message. That is why I asked you to provide the error message. :) If you have an error message, please provide it. If not, please don't call something an error message when it is NOT. Por Dios, si no hay error, para que me asustas? :) Please read the README.txt file and follow the steps there. (1) First check your environmental variable is properly pointed. Do echo $SYBASE if it does not show the directory of installation of your Sybase database, you are in bad shape. You need to set this environment variable, preferable from the moment you reboot the machine, but if not, from your Zope's "start" file. SYBASE=/mnt/sybase1192 export SYBASE (2) Follow the instructions in README.txt cp Setup.linux Setup make -f Makefile.pre.in boot make cp sy_occ.so .. Then it'll work. (Me parece que tu problema no es Sybase adapter, tu problema puede ser Unix/Linux. Parece que no eres familiar con Unix/Linux.)

El castellano tambien funciona aqui. ;) Podrias dar mas detalles del mensaje de error? Asegurate de que el duenno de las carpetas sea "nobody", para que no haya problemas durante el proceso de makefile. Could you provide the error message itself? Make sure that the owner of folders are "nobody". (Usually I am lazy and change myself to superuser, and then change everything recursively into nobody.nobody for owner.group) Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Re: [Zope] DateTime bug with WorldZones

Hi again, after read the mail I thought it could be misunderstood. What DateTime returns wrong is the "GMT" part of, for instance, "2000/03/31 18:08:58.3851 GMT". It should return, "2000/03/31 18:08:58.3851 GMT+1". Note: the hour is correct, but the gmt part no, should be added "+1".

Re: [Zope] CGI script and ZServer

The short answer is yes. But your performance varies depending on how deep you want to get into the subject. The most simple way to run Perl CGI is: (1) Use a Python external method to handle all CGI request. Let's call it "cgi_bin". (2) Your CGI URL requests would be something like: http://www.mysite.com/cgi_bin?cgi=mycgi.pl&arg1=var2&arg2=var2 (3) Inside your external method, you check the values of REQUEST.cgi, REQUEST.arg1, REQUEST.arg2 and use Python pipe commands to launch the Perl interpreters and capture the output. (On Windows, use functions from the win32pipe module in Python's Win32 extensions.) There was some discussion on all this about a week ago. Please read the thread "newbie CGI question": http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/showthread.html?start=26666 If you don't like the look of the URL, you can still use Zope's SiteAccess product to tweak and interprete a URL like htpp://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/mycgi.pl?arg1=var1&arg2=var2 But in order to achieve decent response time, you will have to use Apache + mod_rewrite + mod_perl + Zope. Which is more involved. Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

DateTime bug with WorldZones
by julio dinis 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

Hi, In March 26 my country datetime changed to DST (+1 hour). The function _.DateTime returns the incorrect GMT zone for my site, i.e, should return GMT+1 and still returning GMT+0. Is there a fix for this, before I go into the source... :-) My best regards, Júlio Silva ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Only allowing authenticated users to view document

I have a dtml-document which I wish to be viewed only by (certain) authenticated users. I tried un-checking all the security permissions and the acquire permissions boxes, but I can still access the method. Putting a <dtml-var AUTHENTICATED_USER> in the form shows nothing when I test it (and not anonymous as I thought it would). Any help getting this to work would be apprectiated....
