hello ppl, what are the bad things that will happen if i increase zope thread from the default to another number, say 25, or 50. will anything bad happen? i guess, the greater number of zope threads will help process request faster, or am i mistaken? i currently have hugh connection numbers from apache (> 200 at one time) and only 15 zope threads. correct me if i'm wrong. thanks -- ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.kedai.com.my/kk Am I Evil?

What is the best way to do this?
by Alex Gould 05 Jul '00

05 Jul '00

Hello zope-masters, I humbly ask your advice on several matters. I am making an internal website for a statewide student activist group with many members. It will hopefully feature discussion boards, a contact database, and a calendar of events. I want to make the users of the site part of the contact database, so that an entry in the database (a name, phone number, etc.) can be easily "promoted" into a user with a password and varying priveliges based on his/her role (volunteer, core member, board chair, etc.) Another feature I want to include is regional specialization - each contact/user, calendar event, and forum has an associated "region" - statewide or a specific campus or something in between. That way a user's default view of the statewide calendar won't be cluttered by irrelevant events, and a search through the contact database would by default only return results pertaining to the user's region. I've tried building some custom zClasses but when things start to get complex the dtml code gets really messy, so I think I should use external methods to do most of the work. Basically I'd appreciate any advice on how to put these ideas into code or pointers to relevant documentation. I don't mean to sound like "here's my very complicated plan, write the code for me", I just need some tips on how to get started. Thanks. -------------- Building highways to reduce traffic is like loosening your belt to reduce obesity.

RFC: is this the best way to make a referal app and a "jump" nav menu *2nd time* menu *2nd time*
by George Donnelly 05 Jul '00

05 Jul '00

Basically i would like people's opinions as to whether i built these things in the "right" way or not. tia! >jump menu *created a selection list and told it to pass a variable (the url of the selected item) called "url" to a method called "jump" which consists of the following: <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(url)"> its a little slow but it works :-) >referral product (as in http://www.recommend-it.com/) i pass the variables on the first page (where people enter name, email, and up to 5 of their friends email addresses) to a method called success here's the problem i think: since i am enabling people to email up to 5 friends, i've got 5 copies of the same email message in the success method inside the sendmail tags. the last 4 are in if statements. i know there must be a better way but i really have no idea. any help? (btw if anybody wants to use these things just email me and ill send you the terribly simple yet useful code. :-) tia!

ZCatalog, subtransactions permissions
by Eric L. Walstad 04 Jul '00

04 Jul '00

Hi All, I have a user that is trying to go thru the JobBoard tutorial. In part of the tutorial he is supposed to turn off subtransactions in his instance of ZCatalog. However, he does not have the necessary permissions to do so. I'm the one that is supposed to setup his permissions, but I can't seem to find how or where to do it. Which permission is it and where is it set? There is no security tab in the ZCatalog folder, so I can't change his local role for that folder. I've tried changing his local role in the folder that contains the ZCatalog folder, but without any luck. TIA, Eric.

Help needed: why is this DTML not working in zope 2 ?
by Gilles Lavaux 04 Jul '00

04 Jul '00

Hello, I am a little bit disappointed not getting any echo from my previous question, so I report it. Maybe my dtml is wrong for zope2, but I would appreciate to have some explanation from more experienced peoples. If I can not find a solution, we will have to keep our zope1 production server, and it will be the end of the Zope story in my company :-( So my question was : I want to display the content of a site starting from a folder called 'Site' with a tree tag. I want also to render immediately inside the tree the documents with an ID=='PUBLIC_Doc'. In Zope 1.x I have a working dtml method like this:   <b></b>  ##      ##    Unfortunatly for me , with zope 2.1.6 i get an error when I try to render the 'PUBLIC_Doc' document: ..... PUBLIC_Doc !# Error type:AttributeError Error Message: Error Message:__call__ Error TB:Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/DocumentTemplate/DT_Try.py", line 221, in render_try_except result = render_blocks(self.section, md) File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py", line 335, in eval return eval(code,globals,d) File "", line 0, in ?
