Inter version problems & ZCatalog problems (long)
by Ondrej Palkovsky 09 May '00

09 May '00

I just tried to develop a small system for publishing informations. It has the following structure: KnowledgeBase folder .... kMessage .... kMessage .... kSearchFolder ......kMessage .... Folder ......kMessage etc. Source is available at http://sorry.vse.cz/~xpalo03/kbase.tar.gz I have following problems: Adding kMessage into KnowledgeBase structures doesn't work in 2.1.6 version, but works in 2.1.4 version. I always get Permission denied on manage_editProperties. I use following code to found a root folder: <dtml-in PARENTS skip_unauthorized=1> <dtml-if "meta_type=='KnowledgeBase'"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('kBaseId',id)"> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('kBaseObj',_.getattr(_.this,kBaseId))"> This suffers from one problem, when thare is a Folder with same name of the 'root' folder, but I didn't find another way to do it (any suggestions?) This sets the 'kBaseObj' to the topmost 'KnowledgeBase' Folder. This code is in constructor of kmessage: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('kSequence',kSequence+1)"> <dtml-call "kBaseObj.propertysheets.Seqopt.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> It doesn't work in 2.1.6 from factory, but works when called from a DTML method elsewhere. In 2.1.4. it's ok both in factory & method. Another problem is with catalog. I wanted to be able to search in Subtrees, but didn't find any way how to limit ZCatalog in respect to the 'path'. I created a ZClass inherited from ZCatalog and I let this thing being called from a kMessage constructor: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('myUrl',this().url())"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('myObj',this())"> <dtml-in PARENTS> <dtml-if "meta_type=='KnowledgeBase' or meta_type=='kSearchFolder'"> <dtml-try> <dtml-call "uncatalog_object(myUrl)"> <dtml-except> </dtml-try> <dtml-call "catalog_object(myObj,myUrl)"> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> This should register this message in all ZCatalog-inherited classes upwards. It gets, but in the classes higher then the one the Catalogs gets updated somewhat badly. Suppose this structure: kbase (KnowledgeBase) ..folder (kSearchFolder) ....mesg1 ....mesg2 Now searching for Title in 'folder' is ok, but from 'kbase' I get no result for 'mesg1' and line corresponding to mesg1 for Title='mesg2', for other messages it's all this way moved. When I do Update Catalog, everything gets fixed. Any suggestions? Ondrej -- IBM's original motto: Cogito ergo vendo; vendo ergo sum.

Published Modules w/FastCGI??
by Miles Clark 09 May '00

09 May '00

Hi - I'm trying to access a published module using FastCGI, and am having some problems. Following Amos' How-to ("How to Publish Your Own Python Modules"), I created a simple Hello module and published it by altering z2.py: #zh = zhttp_handler(MODULE, '', HTTP_ENV) #hs.install_handler(zh) sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/my/module') # I used a real path here my_handler = zhttp_handler('Hello', '') hs.install_handler(my_handler) I can then start Zope (ZServer, really) and access my module (which contains a "sayHello" function) like so: http://localhost:8080/sayHello No problems so far. Following the appropriate documentation, I installed the latest fastcgi snap release, and configured Zope to respond via FastCGI. I was then able to start Zope normally (using the original z2.py) and access the normal Zope content from Apache via FastCGI. No problem. I then started my modified z2 (z2Hello.py - altered to respond to FastCGI). Again, when I hit it with the URL above, I can access my publised Hello module without a hitch. However, when I attempt to access my hello module using FastCGI, I get.... Zope! http://localhost:8080/sayHello ----> my Hello module http://localhost/z ----> The Zope welcome screen http://localhost/z/sayHello ----> A Zope 'not found' error My understanding was that I hadn't published the Zope module in z2Hello.py, but up it comes anyway when FastCGI is involved. So... My question is: How do I publish modules in Zope (w/o creating a full Zope product) and access those modules via FastCGI? Thanks! miles

Re: [Zope] Comments? To create products with Python or with ZClasses

I've re-added the zope list here.

Using Zope on a third-party web host
by George Donnelly 09 May '00

sorry in advance. i know this is probably a dumb question but i cant figure it out i am trying to install zope on my vhost account (csoft.net -- i know others have done the same thing at this host that i am trying to do, including the author of the howto mentioned below) and im working from this howto at http://www.zope.org/Members/gldnspud/zope3rdparty this how to says: * go into ~/zope and run: python w_pcgi.py This will compile and prepare Zope for use i cant figure how to get this file that is mentioned (w_pcgi.py) i ran install and it worked fine (this time - stupid mistake before) tia Regards, GEORGE DONNELLY george(a)cyklotron.com http://cyklotron.com/ Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy.

newbie question about input box for sql method
by Charlie Derr 09 May '00

09 May '00

Hi all, I've followed the Z SQL Method instructions and built a simple interface to a database. I have an input form with four text-input boxes. The values entered into the four input boxes get INSERTed as a database record when the submit button is clicked. I want to change one of those text-input boxes into a selection box -- limiting the user to a dozen or so predefined values (which would be selectable from a menu that appears on the box when you click on it). From the way the Z SQL Method is used in zope, it almost looks like i might have to go into it (SQL.py) and set things up the way I want. Is this right? Is there a better solution? Thanx much in advance, ~c

Zope Banner Ad
by Michael Bernstein 09 May '00

09 May '00

Well, it looks like Linux.com has redesigned their site and the banner ads need to be smaller than they used to be. The Zope banner is currently not being displayed as a result. Rather than simply redesign the banner ad I had created before (http://www.zope.org/Members/webmaven/banner-pr) for a new format, I thought I'd re-open the floor to new suggestions for what should go into the banner. If a consensus emerges, I'll create the banner and after DC aproves it, I'll send it to Linux.com for inclusion in their community banner system. If no consensus emerges, I'll just be autocratic and do whatever I want. ;-) So, let the suggestions roll in! Michael Bernstein.

You can't use these methods in the folder for this. You need to add a so-called UserFolder. Add it by using the following dtml-command: manage_addUserFolder() then by <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('name', '<newname>')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('password', '<pwrd>')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('confirm', '<pwrd>')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('roles', ['<desiredRole>', ...])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('domains', ['<desiredDomain>', ...])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('submit', 'Add')"> <dtml-call "acl_users.manage_users(submit='Add', REQUEST=REQUEST )"> you add a user.

HELP on PIL!
by Stephan Richter 09 May '00

09 May '00

Hey guys, I just played with PIL on Zope. I used the Poll product to see how it basically works. But now I have the problem that I can't load an Image because there is a module in /App called ImageFile and one in /PIL called ImageFile. Well when I say Image.open(), it always goes to /App/ImageFile.py and not to /PIL/ImageFile.py. Any suggestions how I can fix that? regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter - (901) 573-3308 - srichter(a)cbu.edu CBU - Physics & Chemistry; Framework Web - Web Design & Development PGP Key: 735E C61E 5C64 F430 4F9C 798E DCA2 07E3 E42B 5391
