Proximity searches are searches for terms that are near in the document. ZCatalog uses "..." as near operator. It implements a proximity search as an "and" search and assigns the document a relevance that is inverse proportional to the distance of the term occurrences. > Q2 - Where can I find the minor patch you mentioned? I just searched > Zope.org and didn't see it. URL:http://www.handshake.de/~dieter/pyprojects/zope/near.pat The patch fixes Zope 2.1.6 ZCatalog's "near" operator. It will work only for Zope 2.1.6. ZCatalog is a development hotspot. Lots have changed in the CVS and for Zope 2.2. Maybe, a patch is no longer needed for Zope 2.2. URL:http://www.handshake.de/~dieter/pyprojects/zope/localfs.pat is the small patch for LocalFS. It gives LocalFS the necessary infrastructure, that Zope's "find" machinery works for it. This machinery is also used by ZCatalog. Dieter

I'm running it here on W2K Server - I don't remember having much of a problem setting it up. I do run it as a service, and it seems to work fine.

Error handling and super users....
by Andy 30 Jun '00

30 Jun '00

Hi, A couple of questions...: a) is there a way of sending an error to a default object other than standard_error_message? For example I would like errors of type x to be handled by one object and y by another. Obviously most objects should have their own error handling that makes sense, but a there are few special cases when I can see it being useful. The most obvious method is to put a big dtml if inside the standard_error_message and send the errors to those objects. But does anyone know of a more elegant solution (if not I can see a potential product in there)... b) anyone know a way of restricting the super_user to a domain? Zope allows you to restrict users, but I would like to tighten down Zope a little more by only allowing super_users from within our domain... Thanks in advance. Andy McKay

GOOD
by Jonathan Desp 30 Jun '00

Hi, Good, I did it, I mean, I succeeded, I do know how to procceed with LoadSite, Itamar, you should say in your page to download not only wxpython, but also winsock etc.. in the wxpython page, they are saying it, but I didnot see it, 2 other programs, we need to download for see LoadSite working. Ok ? thanks guys ! for your support.. Zope Team should incorporate that software into Zope too. As well as they should put their "Available Object" white box, you know what I mean ? ->ABOVE<- the files. See, when you have 900 files in one directory, you need to scroll down each time.. so I suggest to put that box, you know the box I mean ? Place it at the top of the page.

Has anyone gotten Zope running on either LinuxPPC or OSX? If so, can you share your wisdom on how it was done? We'll also be looking for experienced Zope web site developers so send me your resume if interested. Thanks Jerry Jewell WebDudes, Inc. 916 624 0601

SQL method: Trying to be too clever?
by Andy Gates 30 Jun '00

30 Jun '00

Is it possible to pass a variable into anything other than the values of a SQL method? I'm trying to pass a parameter to a method, such that the param is used to define which field is affected by the action: insert into related (rootstory, <dtml-sqlvar field>) values (<dtml-sqlvar storytitle>, <dtml-sqlvar value>) Possible? This doesn't work, of course... ---------------------- Andy Gates, Learning and Research Technology Andy.Gates(a)bristol.ac.uk - ICQ#74362415
