Re: [Zope-PTK] getting latest PTK
by Joachim Werner 02 May '00

02 May '00

Getting the latest CVS-Version of Zope or PTK is not too difficult. Here you'll find the description of the procedure for Zope. If you want to get the PTK instead, just substitute "Zope2" with "ZopePTK": http://classic.zope.org:8080/Community/CVS_public_access In short, it works like that: - First you need a running CVS. Standard with Linux distros, but for WinNT it could be a bit tricky to install (never tried). - Change into the directory where the files should be placed - log in (only needed once): cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.zope.org:/cvs-repository login The password is "anonymous". - Download the complete tree: cvs -z7 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.zope.org:/cvs-repository checkout Zope2 or for PTK: cvs -z7 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.zope.org:/cvs-repository checkout ZopePTK - Later, you can just update single directories with: cvs -z7 -q up -P -d That's it.

Aha, Right, these two sections suggest to me you are suffering from the problems with ZSQL methods in 2.1.6. Take a look at the following and see if it helps: http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/zope-archive.nsf/ByKey/8347052C9F353CA2 cheers, Chris

No, I have changed this more than once. I will get this behaviour even if I log in with a manager role. But I have another idea.

__setstate__ product upgrades
by Dyon Balding 02 May '00

02 May '00

Hi, I am having difficulty getting product upgrades to work via the __setstate__ method. It is mentioned in a few places on the zope site, for example: (from http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/HowTos/ZODB-How-To) __setstate__() is also useful to upgrade an object from one version to another. If you add instance attributes to your product, older versions of the instances of that product will not have the new attribute. __setstate__ can check for the existance of new attributes, and create them with sane defaults in older versions of the instance. I am particularly interested in the second part of this. I have found a couple of examples of this, one in ZCatalog and one in Xen, but can't get it to work in my product. My code has gone through many permutations, but the general layout is as follows: def __setstate__(self,state): Persistent.__setstate__(self,state) if self._ordermanager_version < 4: print 'ver < 4' self._ordermanager_version = 4 get_transaction().commit() Where the class is inherited from Persistent among other things. The code within the if runs, however the transaction doesn't appear to get committed. The object in memory/cache has the new version number, but when Zope is restarted the same code runs again and sets the version. I haven't found any docs on how one is supposed to do this, can anyone point me in the right direction. Especially to some code that shows 'the right way' :). thanks -d -- Adroit | Dyon Balding dyon(a)adroit.net Internet | http://www.adroit.net/ Solutions | work: +613 98888522, mobile: +61 0414992604

Tree tags using LocalFS objects
by Eric Shuman 02 May '00

02 May '00

Thanks for the tip on the LocaFS product. Definitely a very cool addition! Here is my current floundering. I am trying to get a tree of a LocalFS object "folder", but I seem to be getting odd behavior from the tree that gets displayed. (Branches won't open, or open sporadically, and when they do open it is just a repeat of the original tree. Also they don't always open under the branch that was clicked on but in other locations.) Here is the code: <dtml-tree name=folder branches_expr=fileValues()> <dtml-if "meta_type=='Folder'"> <IMG SRC="<dtml-var icon>" BORDER=0> <b><dtml-var id></B> <dtml-else> <IMG SRC="<dtml-var icon>" BORDER=0> <A HREF="<dtml-var tree-item-url>"><dtml-var id></A> </dtml-if> </dtml-tree> If I call a Zope object and use objectValues() for my branch expression everything works fine. It seems that the id's are not getting set correctly and that "meta_type" is not a valid object property for LocalFS objects. I am not very familiar with the LocalFS objects. What am I missing? Thanks for your help, Eric Shuman

CatalogAware and multiple meta_types
by ed colmar 02 May '00

02 May '00

I have started down the path of trying to convert my squishdot based product to use the Catalog instead of the "old" Squishdot indexing system. I have set up the _searchable_result_columns, and _searchable_arguments methods for 4 of the variables I am interested in. I have placed the self.reindex_object() call in the manage_edit method. I commented out the old search interface. Now, all seememd good until I tried to add variables that belonged to a different meta_type. Which results in an AttributeError value: 0 Within my base class I have four different meta_types that can be added. People Promoters Events Hosts Each of these objects contain different variables. People objects contain "name", and promoter objects contain "promotername". How do I set it up so that all of these values can be cataloged and searched? Do I have to standardize naming conventions so that all objects share common variable names? Or, can I define searchable paramaters within these objects? Thanks for any ideas or suggestions! -ed-

Ah, OK -- the "community supported" ZPattern product is contributed and maintained by Phillip Eby and Ty Sarna, whose praises I cannot sing too highly here. They seem to have been "future-proofing" their release notes (the improved help system is one of the best features of the upcoming 2.2 release). Sorry for coming off so snooty -- I didn't want any of the "core" Zope product to be "jumping the gun."
