Is it in the CVS? ;-) No, not yet :( It looks like it may be a little trickier than I thought though, since we'll have to work around the default behavior of the publisher on a GET somehow. I have some ideas on how that might work, but not the time to pursue it yet... Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

Hi Bill, Here is the report from my camp. I use "top", which is not the same "top" that you use. In fact, our "top" here DOES calculate memory usage and the first few lines are IDENTICAL to the results given by "free". Could you post a feedback on your interpretation of this information?

Image Submit Buttons
by Weston Bustraan 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

I have a form where, instead of "Add" and "Delete" buttons, I want to use images of a plus and a minus sign. If I use images, Zope seems to ignore the names and values of buttons. For example: I have something that looks like this: Form Html: <form action="edit" method="post"> <input type="submit" name="mode" value="Add"> <input type="submit" name="mode" value="Delet"> </form> DTML Method "edit": <dtml-if "mode == 'Add'"> .... <dtml-elseif "mode == 'Delete'"> .... </dtml-if> Works great, but if I change the form to: <form action="edit" method="post"> <input type="image" src="..." name="mode" value="Add"> <input type="image" src="..." name="mode" value="Delet"> </form> Zope responds: "Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: NameError Error Value: mode" Anybody have any suggestions? ,------------------------------------------------------------, | Weston J.

RE: [Zope] Slow Startup, error message: PROBLEM(100) ZServer Com puting defa ult hostname ult hostname
by Mike Fletcher 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

Hmm, that does the trick (thought I'd already tried specifying hostname). Brings startup down to 15 seconds. Apparently my dns server is incorrectly configured (specifying it didn't help, I had to specify the hostname explicitly). :) Thanks.

Slow Startup, error message: PROBLEM(100) ZServer Computing defa ult hostname ult hostname
by Mike Fletcher 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

PROBLEM(100) ZServer Computing default hostname Hi all, Zope has always taken a long time (20-30 seconds) to start on my PIII 500 NT 4.0sp5 machine, and I was suddenly struck by the thought "hey, maybe this error message that keeps getting printed when I start Zope means something". No luck finding error reports/documentation on it, and poking through the medusa source didn't help me find where the time is going (the actual computation of the default hostname seems fairly fast). So, any thoughts? It's not a huge problem, but what with restarting the server every time I edit a file taking at least 1/2 minute, development gets somewhat tedious ;oP . Thoughts welcome, Mike

Acquisition problem
by jiva＠devware.com 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

I am confused about acquisition. What I want to do is I have a home page, and I have a standard_html_header I am including in it. standard_html_header changes the background color to say, black. These are both in a folder. I want to create a subfolder of this folder and only replace standard_html_header to change the background color to white. Kinda like theming, I want to keep all the content and keep the root black site, but then have a second identical copy that is all white. What I find when I try to do this, is I copy standard_html_header into my subfolder, and I make my change there. I have no index_html in my subfolder. I am assuming it will work like inheritance in OOP and inherit anything that's not there, and have it then refer to the current folder for it's standard html header. What actually happens though, is when I reference this folder, it goes to the parent, gets the index_html AND the standard_html_header from the parent and uses it to override my standard_html_header in my child folder! What am I doing wrong? -- The sooner you make your first 5000 mistakes, the sooner you will be able to correct them. -- Nicolaides

ZClases or Zope Products?
by Bob Erb 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

My application design lists more than 100 classes. Is it better to construct the classes as ZClasses or as Zope Products wrapping Python classes? What should I consider when choosing between the two approaches? -- Bob Erb InstantAppointment.Com (603)930-8836

URL???
by Pierre Rougier 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

I have a strange problem: when I write : <A HREF="www.altavista.fr">altavista</A> in my zope index_html method, the link is printed, but try to reference to : http://localhost:8080/www.altavista.com so, of course, the URL is not valid! isn't it possible to force zope to create a link to http://www.altavista.com instead of http://localhost:8080/www.altavista.com??? I suppose it is easy to do, but I don't find how! Thanks!!

It is www.zope.org seems to have been down since before 10:00 GMT. I'd also like to know *why*, but is it possible it had anything to do with the Ask Slashdot of yesterday? Just wondering... FWIW, only www.zope.org is down (and it's the whole machine, not just Zope -- no reply from ping). lists.zope.org (as evident ;-) and classic.zope.org are still there. IIRC, www.zope.org is served by a single machine, and its not really a brute of a machine, either. > kindof frustrating when most of your documentation suddenly > vanishes.... The mail archives at eGroups are still there, and there is the mailing list and the source code... ;-) -- Marcus
