If you indeed never did a pack before, then you probably have found a new packing bug. In this case, I would expect, that Jim Fulton is very much interested in your corrupted ZODB to analyse the problem. > The newest message on zope-dev mentioned that the bug is fixed and will > be removed in 2.2.0. I use 2.2.0 and have never used older version. My memory may mislead me, but I believe that the above mentioned packing bug was announce shortly after Zope 2.2.0 was released. > Nevertheless, it seems strange to me, that the function containing so > critical error is described in detail in Zope Content Manager Guide - > short intro for beginners. The Content Manager Guide is not rewritten when a bug is detected in one described function. Dieter

Search on ZCatalog or ZSQL in MySQL
by Nestor A. Diaz L. 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

Hi, I have a to take a decision to use or not to use the ZCatalog that's because i'm some kind newbie to Zope. Well the history is the following: I have to make a system to store news, so i have to migrate a old system using perl cgi's and perform a search on text files to use Zope as the search engine however i don't know if i have to use a SQL database like MySQL or use the ZCatalog, i need full text search, and ZCatalog fits on the true decision however the current database news is about 350M and i would like to extend it to store images and file, so is possible that at the final year if everyting comes ok it outperforms the 1GB data I read that CodeCatalog.com use MySQL to make their full text search engine, so i think that i can do the same with MySQL using a unique number for each registry and let ZCatalog do a Vocabulary based on the ZClass that get such data? and know how to access the database when someone request a word in the vocabulary based on this unique id? I have a made a prototype in Zope at http://repnet.engendro.com using ZCatalog and the admin console is at http://repnet.engendro.com/admin_html i got based on the ZClass Tutorial from behieve and get it working. Well, i have to make a decision so my last resource is to use a coin ;) Thank you very much (sorry for my poor english :DDD) -- Nestor A.

how can I determine the list of user names?
by jpenny＠universal-fasteners.com 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

I would like to construct a pull down of the users defined in an acl_users of a particular location. Say in particular, that /protected/acl_users exists. How do I find (in dtml or in python), the list of names defined in that particular acl_users. To slightly generalize, how would one tree-walk to find the list of all acl_users above a particular object? Thanks Jim

Acquisition, Not! How?
by J�lio Dinis Silva 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

I know this sound strange but is there a way to, during execution of a dtml method, when a with tag is used one force acquisition not to be used? example: /root/a/b/c /root/c say <dtml-with "root.a.c"> was a mistake so I dont want the root.c namespace to be imported due to acquisition and instead I want to raise an exception. How can I "turn off" acquisition? I love acquisition, I know its great but I dont want it in a specific case. Is there a way to turn off?

Windoze + Zope in Debug :S (OT)

Nah, I'll just run it in a DOS box... ...which brings up another question: Is there any way I can make the DOS box in Win98 (think laptop here ;-) to buffer like it does in WinNT? You know the story: Zope spits out four pages of debug info, and you can only read the last 25 lines :( Any ideas? cheers, Chris

I think I'm close, but still no luck
by Daniel Rusch 24 Aug '00

Hello, (See bottom of this message for all the iterations I have tried) I've created a product called BasicDocument. I've installed it and it works great. I've also created a folderish product (called SimpleSite). When a user selects the SimpleSite product from the available objects list, thus creating an instance of that product, they have an option to create sub folders which contain objects like dtml documents, dtml methods, and my BasicDocument product (very similar to what happens when you instantiate a folder object, you can have a dtml method created in the new folder). I am able to have the manage_addSimpleSite function create DTMLDocument, DTMLMethod and Folder objects but I am unable to have the function create BasicDocuments (which live in the Products directory) additionally, I am unable to it create any Products from the Products directory, such as Local File System????? The code below works great, I get a dtml document, two folders each with a dtml method in them.... HOW CAN I CREATE A BascicDocument, LOCAL FILE SYSTEM OR ANY OTHER OBJECT FROM THE PRODUCTS DIRECTORY IN THIS MANAGE_ADD FUNCTION??????? Thanks, Dan def manage_addSimpleSite(self, id, title='', createNewFolder=0, createEditFolder=0, REQUEST=None): """Add a new SimpleSite object with id *id*.

strange login behaviour
by Didier Georgieff 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

Hello, I have really simple login wich is a link to a Method "login" wich comprise ...... REDIRECT for login <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(baseURL)"> and 'login' method has NO autorizations for anonymous. It redirects me on the right "baseURL" page, but the "baseURL" inludes an "info" Document with <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()"> <dtml-in "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()"> who shows ONLY anonymous after the first login.. IF I do a second login (exactly the same) then it works fine and i got the right Names and Roles.. Is it a known problem, or do i have some magic acquisition trick who eludes me ? I'm on 2.1.6 win. -- Didier Georgieff DDAF du Bas-Rhin - Cellule SIG 2, rue des Mineurs 67070 Strasbourg Cedex tél : 03.88.25.20.33 - fax : 03.88.25.20.01 email : didier.georgieff(a)agriculture.gouv.fr GéoWeb http://10.67.90.3 (Intranet Agriculture) GéoWeb http://sertit10.u-strasbg.fr (Internet)
