Win98 and WEBDAV - you ought to see it if you can
by Paul Browning 22 May '00

22 May '00

Apologies if this is old news to many. If like me you'd played with Web Folders under NT against a Zope server and been encouraged but realised than the implementation (at the Microsoft end) still had a little way to go ..... .... if you have access to a Win98 machine point it at a Zope server of your choice. I was setting up (why do I feel the need to explain ...) a PC at home for my kids over the weekend. Win98 was bundled with it. I spotted the Web Folders icon on the desktop so I thought I'd give a whirl. It's impressive. Complete integration with the desktop and unlike the NT implementation you can create and rename folders (I was having to resort to ftp to do this), and no stuttering during file transfers. Couldn't fault it (though I expect various Linux desktops have been in this state for some time). Question: If WEBDAV works so well under Win98 does it also work just as well under Win2K? Perhaps someone who will admit to using Win2K can confirm this? It might even motivate me to upgrade from NT ..... Regards.

ZClass acting up?
by Erik Enge 22 May '00

22 May '00

Hi, I have discovered this extremely irritating "feature" with ZClasses. Sorry for this long and rather ugly explanation, but I don't know what the problem is, so it has to be like this: Add test_product product in Control Panel - Product Management In test_product: Add a test_folder zclass with object manager as its base class In test_folder: Add test_project zclass with test_folder as its base class (be sure to enter all factories and press "change") Now, enter your Zope tree (http://localhost/, for example) and do: Add a test_folder In test_folder: Add a test_project In test_project: Add a test_project The point here being to demonstrate that you can add recursively test_projects. Which is nice, I love it.. semantics looking nice and all :-). Then, go back to the test_product, and in test_project add a Z Class thats called test_projectteam, make object manager the base class. And finally, enter the test_folder you created earlier and add a test_project. Enter this project... now what do you see? Thats right, your not able to add test_projects recursively any longer, but you can add project_teams (which doesn't really make me all that happy). Why is this? I want to be able to structure projects into sub projects and be able to divide the project teams working on the different projects. Does anyone know why this happens? And possibly how I can achieve what I want? -- Erik Enge

ZCatalog & SQL Content?
by Oliver Wrede 22 May '00

22 May '00

I was trying to figure out, how to use ZCatalog to index text in databases. I access articles in the following way: http://mysite/23/article The "23" is used as an Record ID for the ZSQL Query to get the content of the article from the database. This is done with the SiteAccess product. How can I use ZCatalog to index all articles? Oliver .. Oliver Wrede .. owrede(a)khm.de .. Academy of Media Arts, Cologne ..

SQLSession users - who's using what DB?
by Anthony Baxter 22 May '00

22 May '00

A short survey for SQLSession users out there: What database are you using for SQLSession? If you're using Gadfly, are you using the base64oneline encoding, or have you patched your gadfly install? I plan to stop supporting anything but the base64 encoding method in the next release (0.2.9). Also - how many people would be upset if the default table schema was changed? The default schema uses names that conflict with some databases' keywords. Anthony

ZMySQLDA and dtml-in (bug?)
by Morten W. Petersen 22 May '00

22 May '00

When I use an ZSQL method to fetch data, the manage test tab gives a result of 14 items. When the same method is used in a dtml-in tag, with batches of size 10, it only shows the first 10 items, with no "Show next x missions". It previously showed "Show next 4 missions", but after altering 10 of the columns, only the 10 first objects get shown, with no "Show next x missions". The ZSQL method always showed 14 objects before and after alteration. Basically, it's not faulty dtml scripting, the dtml-in tag only shows the first 10 items, with no continual, after an alteration of 10 columns in the SQL table. This is Zope 2.1.6 on top of RedHat 6.2 -Morten ------------------------------------------------------------- How to reply to email: http://home.sol.no/~vidaandr/news/OBSquoting.html (norsk) http://home.sol.no/~vidaandr/news/FAQquoting.html (english) Who is the bigger fool?

22 May '00

Hi people, I am trying to get ZMysqlDA running on a 4.0 Release BSD machine, I have compiled this fine before on Linux but no luck on bsd. I am new to Bsd so if this is a bsd problem I appolagise in advance, but the ZMysqlda documentation is not clear on what libs are required. Python 1.5.2 manually compiled and installed (not part from ports). cc -fpic -I/usr/local/include/mysql -I/usr/include/mysql -O -pipe -D_THREAD_SAFE -I/usr/local/include/python1.5 -I/usr/local/include/python1.5 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./MySQLmodule.c ./MySQLmodule.c: In function `pythonify_row': ./MySQLmodule.c:238: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type ./MySQLmodule.c: In function `pythonify_res_fields': ./MySQLmodule.c:384: invalid lvalue in unary `&' ./MySQLmodule.c: In function `STH_fetchdict': ./MySQLmodule.c:1125: invalid lvalue in unary `&' ./MySQLmodule.c:1147: invalid lvalue in unary `&' *** Error code 1 Brenton Bills.

FYI: Documentation
by Paul Everitt 22 May '00

22 May '00

One other thing I'd like to point out. Have any of you looking at the latest-greatest Zope poked around in the help system? One thing you might note is the excellent API documentation Michel Pelletier has been doing, hooked up to Amos' help system. Browseable, searchable API documentation. Thanks Michel! --Paul
