Lionel, A couple of ground rules first: please dont post HTML to the list or post messages marked "importance: high" to the list. Errr.. after reading your question, I've finally come to grips with the fact that I have no idea what you're asking. Sorry! Please explain more. -----Original Message----- From: Lionel Tafel [mailto:ltafel@elsitio.com.ar] Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2000 2:11 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Question Importance: High Hy everybody, i have a question?

Joel that's really an HTML question. Use <BR> in every table field that contains only dtml tags. It isn't required if there is any text in the table field. Alan Capesius, MCSE Technical Support Engineer Sysmex Corporation of America capesiusa(a)sysmex.com

RE: Slow ODBC source
by Capesius, Alan 26 Jul '00

26 Jul '00

I'm using an Access DB on NT Server without any trouble. It is very fast. How large is the data you are retrieving? (bytes per record I mean) My apps are typically running on a MDB with 10,000 records I've noticed some issues that relate to Access queries. Here they are in the order I'd check them: 1) If Zope is running in a DOS window (haven't used it on 98) you might be running into a background processing problem. Use a PIF file to start it and make sure that Background processing is allowed. There is a checkbox to suspend in background I believe. What happens is that the app gets shut off when if doesn't have the focus and runs extremely slow if at all. Also your performance settings in the system tuning are may be set to provide foreground apps higher priority. 2) The DB should be on the same machine as Zope 3) The way in which queries are built can cause some problems. You may want to create a query that presort & preselects the results you want to obtain and then use that query as your data source in the Zope SQL Method. That way the results are pre-indexed and return quicker. This provided me a 97% performance improvement. (3 minutes down to 5 seconds) For Example: table->join query sorted by name->ZSQLMethod instead of table->ZSQLMethod (join sort) 4) You may want to run the Access database analysis tool and see if it recommends indexing. 5) You can adjust the number of records returned to improve performance in some cases. Sorry I'm an NT guy, and I agree 98 is for home user desktops not servers, NT workstation should be the bare minumim at the desktop IMHO. I don't want to get into the third grade OS wars either. It certainly isn't worth it to me to go thru the learning curve to switch to unix. The migration to NTW is much more tranparent.

Renderable ZClass and Zope 2.2
by Jeff Sasmor 26 Jul '00

26 Jul '00

Hi- I am trying to 'update' my EventFolder product to Zope 2.2 but a really wierd thing is going on: When I try to create an instance (an EventFolder, which is subclassed from Renderable and ObjectManager) I get an error shown in the traceback below. There EventFolder_add method in the ZClass creates a catalog (Catalog) which does not seem to be accessable... yet, why is the instance being renedered at all? It appears as if the instance is being rendered before the transaction is committed and therefore there's no Catalog-- this I get. But why is the instance being rendered at all? Is there some incompatability with Renderable and 2.2?

new wiki functionality/zope.org issues

If the icon is a white page with a bunch of funny > black squiggies, that's a zWiki page :) Yah I found the zwiki pages alright :) but couldn't find any trace of the new search or history functionality ? I've been a bit out of touch so forgive me if this is documented somewhere obvious. A few more comments: 2. a search for "test" found WikiNG, http://www.zope.org//Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/WikiNG which gives an error, attached. 3. looks like you're gathering at least some of the wikis into /Wikis/* .. nice mnemonic url. Could you make http://zope.org/Wikis give a list/overview ? or an alias to wikicentral. 4. could we auto-login with cookies like eg slashdot ? I'm never logged in when I need to edit a wiki and doing so is quite disruptive. And, or, make the login page auto-redirect back to where I came from. It's great to have someone visible and active working on this stuff - thanks, -Simon

First of all, make sure you don't try to define classes that should be persistent in an external method... it wont work the way you expect it to.

Returning a file as a result of object's method?!?
by Uros Midic 26 Jul '00

26 Jul '00

* I'm reposting this, because the first time I included no subject by mistake, sorry * I'm trying to rewrite my ZClass as a python product. In the ZClass I uploaded an applet (e.g. called MyApplet.class) in the methods management screen, so that another method in the same ZClass could reference it simply with <APPLET CODE="MyApplet.class"> (both the method and the applet always had the same base URL, which was the object's URL). Is there a way to store the applet file (MyApplet.class) in the python product's folder and serve it so that its URL would be: <object's URL>/MyApplet.class ? Uros

Haven't gotten that far yet - I'm looking for 'gotchas' before I start. I'm already having a tough time with the open client 11.9.2 - apparently it is not available for download anymore, but still free for development.
