Re: [Zope] ZCatalog & dynamic sites

Objects must help ZCatalog by providing attributes and/or parameterless methods. When the object is indexed, ZCatalog accesses the attributes/methods to obtain the terms the object should be indexed for. And the objects must be URL addressable, because they are itentified inside the catalog by their URL. ZCatalog can index any object that satisfies these requirements. You probably must work that your dynamic objects with database contents do that. Dieter

Monitor

Isn't anyone using the medusa/monitor_client.py script to debug their zopes? I can start it up fine and view the sequence of objects I have created, but my question is how do I access the return value of a DTML method? The Zope Debugging how-to is a little scant on the subject. -D

Re: [Zope] Zope and Mac

I'm guessing, but suspect the problem is that you are using Expander on a Mac which assumes they are being unstuffed to be used on a Mac (normally a pretty good assumption). I'd try FTPing them to your server in compressed form and then unstuffing them there. If you like Expander and are using a Windows Server, you will be happy to know it is also available for Windows 3.1, 9x, and NT and can deal with many arhived formats. Just type "Expander" into the Tucows search box: http://www.tucows.com/ Darren Addy Internet Specialist and Interim Web Presence Coordinator Office of Information Technology Services University of Nebraska at Kearney

review product proposal

Hi, >>>>"J. Atwood" (I was unable to get his email from the mailing list search >>>> >interface) wrote some days ago: >>>> On my list of products that I would like to build / help build ZCLassifieds: A product that allows users to post classifieds for sale with categories, pictures, start and end dates, email contacts, etc. Could be anonymous or require a log in that plays upon the strengths of Zope. ZReview: A generic review product that allows people to post reviews of "things" and have other people comment on the review. A lot of what is in Zope Treasures but maybe with pictures etc. Has anyone starting building these, need these, or would be interested in helping build these? >>>> [K.A.] I just need this for a site I am working on, based on ZDP-Tools. Document rating is one of the thing lacking. ZDP-Tools is ZClass-based, so if you like ZClasses, you might be interested to collaborate on it and leverage this solution for your applications. Actually, there is a ZDP-Tools development effort at Sourceforge (since this week) and you might be interested to join our discussions. Maik Roeder or I is going to do a formal announcement later.

Wiki apps other than ZWiki 0.6.1
by Geoff Gardiner 21 Jul '00

21 Jul '00

I've been happily adding ManagedMode functionality to ZWiki 0.6.1 but wonder what other Wiki-on/in-Zope technologies there are that I should consider working with. I'm looking for cataloging, graphics upload, differencing, rename and delete and don't really want to have to work on them myself if these have been done or are soon to be done. Searching on 'Wiki' appears to be useless, since the word crops up in so many contexts, hence my appeal for information. Thank you, Geoff Gardiner

Write a brains class that you would call to catalog and uncatalog insert/update/delete ZSQLmethods: For example: class MyObject: """ Some arbitrary object - MyObjectID - the id of your object MyCatalog - the catalog you want to use to index the sql MyText1 - metadata column in your catalog MyText2 - an additional metadata column in your catalog """ def FullText(self): "an index in your catalog" return "%s %s" % (self.MyText1, self.MyText2) def catalogObject(self): "Catalog me" self.MyCatalog.catalog_object(self, self.MyObjectID) def uncatalogObject(self): "Uncatalog me" self.MyCatalog.uncatalog_object(self.MyObjectID) Hope this helps, Corey

Zope with Apache
by James W. Howe 21 Jul '00

21 Jul '00

We are running Zope behind an Apache server. We've got things configured so that it mostly works. However, we noticed that the "breadcrumbs" list at the top of a workspace screen doesn't work correctly. For example, if I'm looking at the object /Foo/Bar/Baz, the list of items in the breadcrumbs might look like this: DTMLDocument at /Foo / Bar / Baz The links to Foo and Bar do not correctly take into account the extra item needed to tell Apache that the link goes to the Zope site. For example, the link to Foo needs to say something like http://foo.bar.com/Zope/Foo/manage_workspace instead of http://foo.bar.com/Foo/manage_workspace The tabs for the management screens work fine, however. Has anyone else encountered this and is this a bug in Zope, or simply a configuration issue that I need to resolve. If its a configuration issue, what would I need to change. Thanks. James W.

RE: [Zope] Zope-killer: zSQL method that crashes Zope

If you haven't added your problems to the Collector on Zope.org, it would be very good to do so... it doesn't seem that anybody from the community is coming up with a fix and a lot of folks from DC out at the O'Reilly open source convention... putting this in the Collector ensures that it'll get addressed. > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Rusch [mailto:drusch@globalcrossing.com] > Sent: Friday, July 21, 2000 9:59 AM > To: Andy Gates > Cc: zope(a)zope.org; andy.gates(a)bristol.ac.uk; ian.sealy(a)bristol.ac.uk; > jan.grant(a)bristol.ac.uk; paul.browning(a)bristol.ac.uk > Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope-killer: zSQL method that crashes Zope > > > If it matters to anyone, Andy isn't the only one with Zope > killing ZSQL > Methods .... > I just spent way too much time trying to figure out why our > stage enviroment > was crashing. > Turns out to be a ZSQL method which fails.
