zzLocale 0-0-3a released on Zope Japan
by Johan Carlsson 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Yves-Eric, Brilliant product! Are there any plans on expanding the framework to include python embedded strings. I know it's would be hard to identify all strings in Zope itself, but providing a framework would encurage python product developers that care about i18n and give them a perferd method.

hypothetically simple Login Manager Question
by Bill Anderson 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

OK, I am working on a rather large scope site. In this site, I will have the need to create Objects (called Clubs). These Clubs will need their own membership setup, but stil be authenticate against the overall site. I have considered a few ways of doing this... to wit: A. A Membership folder in each tree that 'fails' to the next higher leve. - Advantage: Can scale all the way up the domain. - Advantage: Should be easy enough, have the LM pass fails up the chain ..somehow. - Disadvantage: Don;t know if LM can handle this B. A single site-wide membership object, with each club storing a subset of members. - Disadvantage: sounds complicated - Disadvantage: I don't think it scales well - Advantage: simple to implement C. The wild idea... If I had a MountableZEOStorage mountpoint, I could use a single domain Membership object, and just 'mount' the Membership section where needed. In the member properties. I would store the sections they belong to. - Advantage: Damn that's cool. - can scale - Disadvantage: MountableZEOStorage is vaporware ATM For an Idea of the scope of the site, think yahoo's 'member' setup. You can join/create clubs, each with it's own membership they have different services on different servers (mail.yahoo.com, personal.yahoo.com, clubs.yahoo.com, classifieds.yahoo.com, etc), yet only the one account suffices. I would like to keep a ZODB based solution, and stay away from RDBMSes (if for nothing other than I'd rather not be the one to write a login/membership product that uses SQL ... yet). I like using the ZODB, it makes sense to me, ad I will be making my 'management' tools in Python/GTK-GNOME (or FLTK) on Linux. I can do the second one ....again but don't want to. the third one looks the coolest by far. and the first one looks the easiest, non-ugly one. urgh. I am open to recommendations. -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.

Here's a simple DTML method that adds a simple ZEvent. You'll have to modify it for your subclass and parameters. <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['ZScheduler']"> <dtml-call expr="manage_addOneTimeZEvent( this(), 'votingEventId1', 'Voting Event Title 1', file = 'Content-Type: text/plain\n\nBANG!!!', executeAt = _.DateTime()+14 )"> </dtml-with> -- HTH -- Loren > hello, > > i would like to use zscheduler for an internal zope site managing > budget matters within our institute along the following scenario: > > staff members can apply for some money from the overall budget, > those applications are recorded and the members of the > commission which have to decide upon get informed by mail > about new applications > > then they can vote on that application using there browser. > > if there are enough positively votes within two weeks starting from > the original application date then the money becomes available to the > corresponding staff member, here i thought to bring zscheduler into: > > with the application recording there should be set up a zevent at > ZopeTime+14 which, when triggered, starts the voting evaluation then > informing all people involved. > > i could not figure out how to create zevents form dtml or py methods!? > > could you please help me ?? > > thanx in advance > > best regards > > k ahrens

working with datetime
by Leichtman, David J 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Is there an easy way to increment the month or year of the DateTime object? Adding a numeric value increments the day. Incrementing the year is easily doable, but incrementing the month is significantly more difficult. So I'm just curious if there's a function that will actualy modify the parts of a DateTime object, or something way that I'm not thinking of to easily increment the month.

Zope on Linux - Oracle 7.3 Solaris connect question... ZOracleDA how to compile? compile?
by Chris Beaumont 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Zelp! (: I have a Linux based Zope installation that I need to connect up with a copy of Oracle 7.3 Workgroup Server running on a Solaris machine. I understand from a recent post that I will need to install Oracle client libraries for Linux in order for the ZOracleDA on the Linux box that is running Zope to compile- I don't have an older Oracle client for Linux, if indeed one was made.. (you can tell that I'm new to this here..) So...ta da... I have several newbie questions.. Obviously Oracle 7.3 is not the current rev. so... 1.) Can I use the current Linux version of the Oracle client to compile the ZOracleDA, then use that install to connect to Oracle 7.3 without errors? 2.) If I cant, does anyone have any suggestions on ways to solve this problem? 3.) Are there any particular caveats in considering this kind of configuration, or anything not covered in the docs.. I'm a relative newcomer to Zope, so *any* help is welcome and highly appreciated... Thank you very much... Chris Beaumont cbeaumon(a)msri.org

Newbie question on page counters
by Richard P. Muller 27 Jul '00

27 Jul '00

I'm in the process of learning Zope hacking, and I'm having a really hard time getting a page counter to work. It isn't even that page counters are all that important to me, it's that I feel that if I can't even do something this simple, what hope do I have doing something really hard? Here's what I've done. (1) Under "Properties" I've created two properties (both ints) counter_starting_value, which I've set to 11 (arbitrarily) counter_value, which I've set to 0 (2) I then created a DTML method. I spent some time pouring through the DTML Reference, but I really didn't find a lot on how to modify variables. Here's what I tried: <dtml-if counter_value> <dtml-let counter_value = counter_value + 1> </dtml-let> <dtml-else> <dtml-let counter_value = counter_starting_value> </dtml-if> <dtml-var counter_value> This didn't work. The error message reported that the syntax in the first (and probably the second, but I never got past the first) dtml-let command was wrong. I also tried things like <dtml-var "counter_value=counter_value+1"> # got a syntax value for dtml-var here <dtml-var expr="counter_value=counter_value+1"> #same problem here. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks in advance, Rick -- Richard P. Muller, Ph.D. rpm(a)wag.caltech.edu http://www.wag.caltech.edu/home/rpm

FindOneOf?
by Mabe, Brad 27 Jul '00

27 Jul '00

ColdFusion (I know, a dirty word ;-) ) has a nifty string function called "FindOneOf" which returns the index of the occurrence of any character in a string. Example: FindOneOf("ghd", "abcdefghij", 1) Will return a "4" because "d" is the fourth letter in the string "abcdefghij". If no match is made, a 0 is returned. This is especially useful when building a change password form, because I can easily check to see that the new password contains at least one special character, upper case character, number, etc. Is there anything similar to FindOneOf in ZOPE? If not, does anyone have any hints on how I can go about doing this kind of thing through dtml or python? -=Brad=-
