Confusing aq - I don't get it, anyone know why?

I've lost my Zope zen, why doesn't this work? My folders and documents / (folder) strader (folder) FormatDate (external method) outbound (folder) PackagInfo (dtml document) FormatColumnTable (dtml method) PackageInfo has code like this: <dtml-with "GetDB().Package.TrackingNumber_index.select(trackingnumber).fetchone()"> <dtml-var FormatDate> <table width="100%" border="0"> <dtml-var "FormatColumnTable(columnlist=packagecolumns,obj=GetSelf(),notable=1)"> </dtml-with> FormatColumnTable has code like this: <dtml-let value="something "> <dtml-var "FormatDate(date=value)"> </dtml-let> However this FormatDate raises a NameError in DT_Util.py, line 335 (version 2.1.6 of Zope) Is PackageInfo's use of dtml-with blocking acquisition of FormatDate? The object returned for use with dtml-with in PackageInfo raises an AttributeError when trying to find FormatDate as an attribute, this is correct... what gives?

It's just that ldconfig -v gives me /opt/pgsql/lib: libpq.so.2.1 -> libpq.so.2.1 There is no reference to libpq.so, and I still receive the same error with import PoPy. I question if I need a libpq.o listing from ldconfig -v or not? Thanks for your prompt replies and help.

You have hit on exactly the reason why we didn't implement DAV level 2 locking yet :^) It would have been relatively simple to do so, but it would have been in a way that only DAV clients would respect locks. In an environment where people may be changing content via HTTP, FTP, DAV, xml-rpc, in versions, etc., it seemed like it would be better to think harder about the 'locking problem' and what would make the most sense given all the things going on. Unfortunately we haven't been able to get back to thinking about that yet. I'd love to see someone take up the mantle for this on dev.zope.org though :^) Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

boolean property bug
by Aleksander Salwa 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

Probably I found a bug in handling boolean properties in Zope 2.2.0. I can only set them "on", and then can't turn "off". I can have default value "off" (in ZClass definition), but after first switch to "true", it can't be changed. It only refers to handling properties via Zope's management screens. API functions manage_changeProperty, manage_editProperty work fine, so maybe it's an error in generated HTML forms, or in processing of these forms. ololo

RE: [Zope] LoginManager UserSources
by Wilkinson Charlie E 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

Hi Danny, I don't think the question applies, as you are prettymuch free to build a UserSource to anything you want. Of course, with that freedom comes aggrevation. ;-/ There is ready documentation on the Zope site for interfacing LM to SMB for authentication. I've gotten it working with Postgres (with crypted passwords no less!) It took me a couple of weeks on and off to finally get that going. Yes, it was painful, especially having no prior experience with GUF (or much experience with Zope, for that matter...) I've not made it a very high priority, but I'm working on a LoginManager/PostgreSQL walkthrough hoping that I might save someone else some grief. That info should be easy to translate for any other datasource full of users you might have in mind. Interested? -cw- > -----Original Message----- > From: Danny William Adair [Danny(a)adair.net] > Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2000 4:51 AM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] LoginManager UserSources > > > What UserSources are available as of today for the > LoginManager to use?

Anyone using Zope on a RAQ3?
by Duncan Booth 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

Has anyone tried running Zope on a Cobalt RaQ3? The reason I ask is that a UK company is now offering dedicated RaQ3's for 29 pounds/month (64Mb RAM, 8Gb disc), and I wondered if it would make a good Zope platform or not? -- Duncan Booth duncan(a)dales.rmplc.co.uk int month(char *p){return(124864/((p[0]+p[1]-p[2]&0x1f)+1)%12)["\5\x8\3" "\6\7\xb\1\x9\xa\2\0\4"];} // Who said my code was obscure? http://dales.rmplc.co.uk/Duncan

RE: [Zope] Change db connect string in python or dtml

Have you tried: create a new instance of a database connection alongside the old one, then point your SQL methods at the new connection. When you have them all switched over, delete the old connection. -cw- > -----Original Message----- > From: Magnus Heino [magnus.heino(a)rivermen.se] > Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2000 5:50 AM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Change db connect string in python or dtml > > > > Hi. > > I have an instance of a 'Z MySQL Database Connection' called mysql. > > How can I change the 'Database Connection String' and then then try to > connect, either in dtml or python? > > -- > > /Magnus Heino

2.2/OpenBSD2.7 runaway
by Brian Livingston 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

Zope/Unix newbie here, so please be gentle. Apologies in advance if this is the wrong list for this question. I was having fun with Zope 2.1.6 on a LinuxPPC machine, then moved it over to a Zope 2.2, AMD-K6-2 box running OpenBSD 2.7. It ran fine for a week, then not-so-fine. Watching TOP, the Zope/Python process is consuming ALL available cpu time, rendering the machine completely non-resposive. Python 1.5.2 and Zope 2.2.0 were compiled from source. OpenBSD kernel was compiled with maxusers = 128 I get the feeling that this is one of those "oh, you forgot to flick that bit" things. I just can't find the right bit to flick! Any advice is welcome!
