upgrade to 2.2 and zsql methods problems
by Erik Myllymaki 17 Jul '00

17 Jul '00

Hello, I just upgraded to 2.2 from 2.1.6 on a WinNT machine. Things went well, except my zsql methods won't run from the site. I can manage and test them from the management pages, but if I call them from the site I get an *unauthorized* error. This happens even wen I log in as superuser or the owner of that zsqlmethod object. I have tried to recreate some of the queries from scratch and applying new ownership and wide open permissions, but this doesn't seem to work either. Zope is running as a service and I am using the ODBC adapter to connect to MSSQL Server. As I say, the queries all un as expected from the management test screens. Any ideas? Thanks, Erik Myllymaki erik(a)pacific-shores.com

Re: [Zope] strange pcgi prob in FreeBSD
by Peter Haight 17 Jul '00

17 Jul '00

I had this problem as well. The problem is that there is some bug or something where FreeBSD is limiting the transmission of data over the UNIX domain sockets to 8192 bytes so only pages that are less than that size work. To fix it, run the following as root: sysctl -w net.local.stream.recvspace=65536 sysctl -w net.local.stream.sendspace=65536 That will let it work with pages up to 64k. I think this is some FreeBSD problem, but I'm not sure. The send() should block instead of returning with only 8k sent. > While trying to update the zope port for the FreeBSD ports system I > ran into a problem which kinda has me stumped.

ZStylesheet
by Neil Burnett 17 Jul '00

17 Jul '00

Warning: This is a 'get it off my chest' e-mail. Well, I am going to give up with CSS. I am sure ZStylesheet is a fine product, its just that CSS implementations lets it down. I have struggled for ages to get anything more sophisticated than font-family* to work on both IE5 and Netscape 4.6 - no chance. It seems they have both implemented CSS from a different hymn sheet :-( Basically, nothing to do with sizes works the same, and it boils down to Netscape ignoring the inheritance model of CSS. table rows and cells are a particular mystery. If anyone has cracked it and has developed a ZStylesheet which can second guess both browsers, please let me know. Until then, I will go back to using <font size="12pt"> or whatever. Shame, but I have more interesting things to worry about. Regards Neil *even font-family doesn't work for the BODY selector. Tables in Netscape ignore it so you have to use BODY TR TD as the selector.

linuxworld article and auto-form generation
by Kapil Thangavelu 16 Jul '00

16 Jul '00

I played around with some auto-form generating ZClasses a couple months ago. Just thought i should share since it seems to be something people want, and i saw it used as a feature-lack against zope on linuxworld. basically it just spits out an html page where you pick a property sheet and then it spits up an edit form for that sheet. i use em for quick testing of a zclass and as a template(ala view source) for more customized forms. i generally use it a base zclass on a project and just make my other zclasses inherit from it. to view the forms after you've created the methods (in your the Products folder of your ZClass) just go to http://YourZopeSite.zope/YouObject/edit_properties this stuff will be on my members page, soon:) http://www.zope.org/Members/k_vertigo standard_disclaimer -ie it works for me. use at your own risk. raw dtml - sorry i'm sure the formatting blows edit_properties :: dtml_method <dtml-var standard_html_header> <center><b>Please Pick A Property Category</b></center> <table align="center"> <form action="edit_propertyCategory" method="POST"> <tr><td> <SELECT name="PropertyCategory"> <dtml-in "propertysheets.items()"> <OPTION value="<dtml-var sequence-key>"><dtml-var sequence-key></OPTION> </dtml-in> </SELECT> </tr></td> <tr><td><INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" value="Edit Properties"></td></tr> </form> </table> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> edit_propertyCategory :: dtml_method <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('PropertyCategory')"> <dtml-in "propertysheets.items()"> <dtml-let y=sequence-key> <dtml-if "REQUEST.PropertyCategory==y"> <dtml-let x=sequence-item> <table border="1" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"> <tr><th colspan="2" align="center">Edit <dtml-var y> Properties</th></tr> <form action="edit_propertiesChange" method="POST"> <dtml-in "x.propertyItems()"> <tr><td> <dtml-var sequence-key> </td><td> <input type="text" name="<dtml-var sequence-key>" value="<dtml-var sequence-item>"> </td></tr> </dtml-in> <tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="SUBMIT" value="Change Properties"></td></tr> <input type=hidden name="PropertyCategory" value="<dtml-var PropertyCategory>"> </form> </table> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> <dtml-else> You have reached this page in error </dtml-if> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> edit_propertiesChange :: dtml_method <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('PropertyCategory')"> <dtml-in "propertysheets.items()"> <dtml-let y=sequence-key> <dtml-if "REQUEST.PropertyCategory==y"> <dtml-let x=sequence-item> <dtml-call "x.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-var PropertyCategory> Properties Changed<br> <a href="<dtml-var URL1>">Back To Object</a><br> <a href="<dtml-var URL2>">Back To Container</a> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> <dtml-else> You have reached this page in error </dtml-if> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Cheers Kapil http://lostworld.imeme.net

PIL on Win32 for the Photo Product
by Alexander Limi 16 Jul '00

16 Jul '00

Hi, I need PIL in my Zope install to get the Photo product working. I downloaded the win32 version of PIL from http://starship.python.net/crew/da/PIL/ and tried unpacking it in the bin\python dir of my Zope install. Photo reports the following: Traceback (innermost last): File "C:\PROGRA~1\Zope\lib\python\OFS\Application.py", line 387, in import_products product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "C:\Program Files\Zope\lib\python\Products\Photo\__init__.py", line 42, in ? import Photo File "C:\Program Files\Zope\lib\python\Products\Photo\Photo.py", line 87, in ? from PIL.Image import BICUBIC, BILINEAR, NEAREST ImportError: No module named PIL.Image The web pages say something about a pil.pth file, I can't find that anywhere in the archive either. Can anybody give me some hints on what to do? Alexander.
