Worldpilot + UW-IMAP
by Marcus Schopen 29 Jul '00

29 Jul '00

Hi there, I´m using Worldpilot (newest alpha) on Linux (SuSE 6.4). It worlks fine, but I can only create subfolders under the INBOX and no subsub-folders. Subsubfolders are not needed, but I don´t want to create all my first level subfolders under the INBOX, because other IMAP-Progs. (e.g. Netscape) display them as INBOX.subfolder. Any ideas? THANK YOU Marcus ______________________________________ (0> Marcus Schopen //\ Bielefeld, Germany V_/_ ______________________________________

Displaying "Lines"? was: form to a email in a correct presentation ?

But I recognize the problem as a side effect of using 'lines' type (and maybe tokens?) Other than iterating through the property is there a way to display or present the lines property for edit without the containing ['brackets', '&', 'ticks']? <s> I'd like to (probably out of laziness) just be able to enter a list of items into a <textarea> store it as 'lines', let a user edit it in a <textarea> without the [''] visible. Let them save it again and then iterate over the property later. Well it works as long as I tell the user they have to enter each item into the box seperated by commas enclosed in single-quotes and contained in the list brackets. YEAH RIGHT! <VBG> That'll never fly. -- Tim Cook -- FreePM Project Coordinator - http://www.freepm.org OS Healthcare Alliance Supporter - http://www.oshca.org

Talking about revision history
by Marcin Kasperski 29 Jul '00

29 Jul '00

The zope Undo mechanics is nice for clearing simple mistakes, but the screens filled with 'manage_edit by ...' does not provide too much information. What I would like is some high level website revision history. Below I discuss some ideas, please comment on them. Before details, main motivation: as the main zopesite manager (call me Stan ;-) ), I give my users permissions to edit parts of the website. But I would like to see their activities from the high level, with reports like 'at day such and such Johny the Spoiler performed change which he named "proofing our department pages" and this change touched the following objects: ...' (looks like info about saving a version enriched with info about objects saved). 1) I would like to disable the ability to edit anything outside some version. I guess that specifying some permissions in configuration would do, but before I spoil sth I would like to ask whether someone performed such a configuration and how was it defined? 2) Would be great, if attempt to edit outside of version prompted You are to edit this website outside any version. Choose to either join <.dropdownlist of existingversions> [JOIN] create and join new version of name: .......[CREATE] cancel edits [CANCEL] 3) Is it at all possible to check, whether some version is currently empty (no unsaved edits) or not - and if not, what is unsaved? 4) Is it possible (with current zope) to get changes history with manual edits grouped somehow (I'd prefer - instead of having 17 times 'manage_edit by xaut' - to see '17 manage_edit's by xaut') 5) CVS-like tagging mechanizm would be nice. Seems that version control is completely implemented, the only thing left is a method to add a comment at some places of database history - and to provide a method of browsing them. -- www.mk.maxi.pl | Even if we could state all of a system's Marcin.Kasperski | requirements, there are many details about a system @softax.com.pl | that we can only discover once we are well into its @bigfoot.com | implementation.

Easiest way to possess 'creation_time' attribute?
by Marcin Kasperski 29 Jul '00

29 Jul '00

What is the easiest way to force DTML Methods or documents in some directory to be automatically annotated with 'creation time' attribute? I got the problem while developing simple website news page (implemented so the news are taken from dedicated subfolder and sorted via bobobase_modification_time reverse): - if I correct spelling in my news item, it gets 'modern' date - if I export from one zope instance and import into another one, all objects get the brand new bobobase_modification_time Regards -- Marcin.Kasperski | Users typically do not know exactly what they want @softax.com.pl | and are unable to articulate all that they know.

Package for annotating pages?
by Marcin Kasperski 29 Jul '00

29 Jul '00

Leading small website, I would like to give my users an ability to make some annotations on those pages I imagine sth like: somewhere on the page I have small form which client can fill to comment the page contents. Client opinion is kept somewhere - but not yet visible. Some time later, the page administrator have an option to browse comments and accept or reject them. Accepted notes are visible as some decorations, which - after being clicked - show small popup window with the note contents. I consider implementing something from the scratch, but maybe there exists some Zope package, which would help me more or less (either by implementing my idea or by giving some other mechanisms with similar purpose). Regards -- Marcin.Kasperski | A (cfg. management) tool can perform two functions: @softax.com.pl | (1) Support a well defined and understood process.

dtml-in 'one record per page' problem
by Cesar A. K. Grossmann 29 Jul '00

29 Jul '00

Hi! I'm using a report that must return one instance by page, but it's not working very well... If the query returns more than one result, Zope presents only two pages. I'm using Zope 2.1.6 in a Linux box. Here are a excerpt of the dtml code used: <dtml-in sqlQuery size=1 orphan=1 overlap=0 start=query_start> <dtml-if sequence-start> <dtml-if previous-sequence> <a href="<dtml-var URL><dtml-var sequence-query>query_start=<dtml-var previous-sequence-start-number>"> (previous)</a> </dtml-if previous-sequence> <table> </dtml-if sequence-start> ... a lot of <tr><td> ... <dtml-if sequence-end> </table> <dtml-if next-sequence> <a href="<dtml-var URL><dtml-var sequence-query>query_start=<dtml-var next-sequence-start-number>"> (next)</a> </dtml-if next-sequence> </dtml-if sequence-end> <dtml-else> <p> No records. </p> </dtml-in> In case someone is wondering about the utility of a report with only one record per page, all I can say is that this is a very big one record, and the original idea was to present only one record at time. -- César A.

by Chris McDonough 29 Jul '00

The ZODB is generally process-locked. It's not possible, to my knowledge, to access it from different python processes simultaneously. To solve this, I'd highly encourage you to use ZEO, despite your desire not to use it. There's very little to learn with ZEO, and its proven very stable over the last few months. It works just like FileStorage, you just need to install it, edit a couple files, create a custom_zodb.py file in your software home and go.
