Hello! http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/mod_pcgi2/ mod_pcgi2 version 1.1.1. Some minor corrections in handling of root location and SCRIPT_NAME. Still experimental - I have not got enough reports to announce it stable.

Hi, I have a text file object containing data I want to use to update a MySQL table.

RE: [Zope] Does <dtml-sendmail> work with 2.1.7?

The version in 2.1.7 is hosed due to some configuration management issues that let some (but not all) of those fixes get into the 2.1.7 release :( You really would be better off sticking with 2.1.6 for another day or so until 2.2 beta 2 comes out.

RE: [Zope] Error packing database 2.1.7 -> 2.1.6

Duh! That was all my fault. The pack was failing because of incorrect permissions on the Data.fs file. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Shaw, Mark [mailto:Mark.Shaw@osip.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2000 4:51 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Error packing database 2.1.7 -> 2.1.6 I have a site that is currently running 2.1.7.

ZDiscussions Problem
by Pete Black 21 Jun '00

21 Jun '00

I have a problem using ZDiscussions - First up, i'd like to whine a bit. <WHINE-MODE ON> Which product should i use to add a Discussion component to my site? Confera? ZDConfera? ZDiscussions? ZUBB? Squishdot? PTK? Was the Zope 'Portal' deliberately designed to obfuscate the choices available and their respective pros/cons, as well as to make it practically impossible to find useful documentation, or has it just happened this way? I'm just about ready to give up on Zope and go back to hacking Perl, because, even though i have to write 10 times as much difficult-to-read code to get a job done, at least i know that the job is doable, doable in a way that suits me, and that if there is a module to do what i want to do, it will be findable and documented on CPAN. <WHINE-MODE OFF> I don't like to whine, and i think Zope promises to be a great product, and i am persevering with it because i think it will (once i get implemetation out of the way) make me a great intranet. Many thanks to the developers, you have, on the whole, done a wonderful job. Anyway, my problem is this: I have a ZDiscussion set up in a folder (off the root folder) called TMLDiscussion. I want to put the contents of the discussion in the index_html method of my root folder. So, i put the following in my root index_html method: <dtml-with TMLDiscussion> </dtml-with> (normally there would be code beteen those two tags to output a dtml-tree of messages in the TMLDiscussion object) Even with nothing between the dtml-with tags, i get this error: Error Type: NameError Error Value: r Whats going on? And how do i display the discussion on my index page? Thanks for any Help -Pete

RE: [Zope] Pointers in zope ??? object1 --> object2 ==> "REQU EST.resolve_url('my_url')"
by NABETH Thierry 21 Jun '00

Thank you David, I really would have had difficulties finding it myself. <dtml-try> <dtml-with "REQUEST.resolve_url('http://zope-server/path to the object')"> <dtml-var method_to_call> </dtml-with> <dtml-except> Error in resolve_url: unable to get the object from the url. <br>does the url matches the REQUEST.script: <dtml-var "REQUEST.script"> ? </dtml-try> Note: In the resolve url, you have to be carefull that zope-server is exactly the same as the machine name. More specifically zope-server has to be the same as REQUEST.script or it will generate an error.

Change Notification
by Bob Barter 21 Jun '00

21 Jun '00

Is there a way for an object to be notified that it has been modified? In particular, I want to create Relation objects that relate two arbitrary Folders. Creating the Relation object with a ZClass is easy (even for a newbie like me :-) ), but I need to update the relation links if the destination folder is moved. My thinking is that I need a parentChanged method that is invoked by a parent. parentChanged would then recursively invoke parentChanged for each of its child folders. The purpose of parentChanged would be to look for any relation objects that referenced the old location and either 1) change the reference to the new location if the old location is no longer valid (i.e. a Cut/Paste operation), or 2) add the new location if the old location is still valid (i.e. a Copy/Paste operation). This sounds expensive, and I'm not sure how to kick off the process. Does a "Paste" create a new instance? Thanks for the help, Bob Barter

ZMailIn 0.1 - mail into Zope
by Simon Coles 21 Jun '00

21 Jun '00

Hi, A few weeks ago we had a discussion on this list about a way of getting mail into Zope. We've been doing some work in this, resulting in "ZMailIn". We've put a preview version of ZMailIn up on Zope.org, at http://www.zope.org/Members/NIP/ZMailIn/ ZMailIn allows you to send an email into Zope. Specifically: - the mail system (Exim, Sendmail, etc.) passes the email to a Python script - this script uses HTTP POST to call a DTML method that creates an instance of a ZClass containing the mail This code is pre-release, and has been lightly tested. Its intended for people who are curious about how this work is progressing and/or want to have input into the design process. At the moment things are very simple, and most of what should be configuration is in fact hard coded - the intention at this stage is to get something working. The remaining work is to: - deconstruct the email into its bits (attachments, multipart MIME, etc.) - allow the configuration to be done in Zope, so more than one email address can be used, to call different DTML methods. - whatever other changes are required Enjoy....
