Re: How best to restart Zope?

Hi, I've read all answers about the problem and I'd like to know if there's a big difference between : this solution : "Edit your "start" shell script and add -Z to z2.py command line." and this one :" Put this in your 'start' script : -Z /home/local/zope/var/Z2.pid " ? Is the path very important?Why?

Re: [Zope] ZDebug is disturbing ;-)

ZDebug still has a problem with <dtml-raise>, but I'm thinking of a solution for it. Normally it won't be a problem, but if you depend on the exception text being preserved, ZDebug will break your DTML. Note that the exception *type* is preserved, however, so <dtml-try/except> does work. > PS: What's the digicool.zope.zope newsgroup? I set up a news server on my personal machine and used procmail as a gateway. I can even post. However, I've been told that mailman already has the same capability, so if you'd like to access the zope lists via NNTP also, lobby MattB. Shane

I have some understanding for that: * your email address is invalid (empty) * your mail service provider has no DNS for the mailing host Therefore, my spam filter dropped the messages which you sent directly to me. Maybe, other mail software does not like it either. > Sir Have u faced the same problem after installing Zdegbug????? > Plzz let me know .... I did not yet install ZDebug. And I probably won't do it for the time being. Although I am very curious how ZDebug is able to disturb "sendmail". Dieter

How do I connect to a db from a PythonMethod?
by Bill Welch 20 Sep '00

20 Sep '00

I have this in an ExternalMethod and it works fine: import MySQLdb conn = MySQLdb.Connection(user='xxxx', passwd='yyyyy', db='zzz') In a PythonMethod, it fails because of the import restriction. What's the easiest way to get around this. I'm not getting anything out of the documentation in PythonMethods/ModuleSecurityInfo because it never says where the code snippets should actually go.

Looking for Zope vs. Others at-a-glance comparison

Perfect. > >Unfortunately its been difficult to get discussions like this going on >zope.org as its mainly devoted to coding problems, while zope-dev is to do >with deep and complex zopezen. Many very helpful goodies have been contributed, and are available under "Downloads". However, as we've seen so often, documentation is the last thing on the priority list, so these gems are mostly still quite rough. It looks like a great deal of value can be added to Zope in the form of ultra-easy integration of stuff that already exists, and step-by-step, "hold my hand" How-To docs to makes sure even the greenest Newbies can make the most of what's there. Thanks for all the cogent comments! Jerry S.

Newbie Question: File upload in from my own Product
by Dicken, Peer 20 Sep '00

20 Sep '00

Hi, I´m new to Zope ;) I´m currently composing a set of products for my website and have a little problem now: I need to make a Product that makes it possible to upload a file, well, basically a tuned "FILE" object. I need to add a description. Is it right to add the FILE object in my ZClass, or what should I do?

Workflow, Python and Zope

Here I just repost a statement from Michael (wftk(a)vivtek.com) concerning his workflow product (http://www.vivtek.com/wftk.html, Open-source workflow toolkit). Maybe it's useful for some further developments.

Last modified - including contents?
by Marcin Kasperski 20 Sep '00

20 Sep '00

Two questions related to presenting 'last modified at ...' message on HTML page. 1) I have some pages (for instance my website news page or some indexes) which are dynamically build from another pages (usually via dtml-in - reading elements of some type from some folder). Does there exist any easy way to present the _newest_ bobobase_modification_time for all used elements? Currently on my news page I show 'last modified at 2000/08/14' although in fact this page has been modified at '2000/09/16'... 2) Similar question related to marking website parts as 'New' or 'Recently changed' in different indexes. What is the easiest way to calculate date of the newest change in the whole folder hierarchy starting from the given folder? Thanks in advance for any hints. -- http://www.mk.w.pl / Marcin.Kasperski | Moje prywatne strony: http://www.kasperski.prv.pl @softax.com.pl | @bigfoot.com \

FW: [Zope-PTK] Date Question
by Scott Burton 20 Sep '00

20 Sep '00

This is the correct list :) ---------- From: Scott Burton <scott(a)launchpoint.net> Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 14:27:46 -0700 To: <zope-ptk(a)zope.org> Subject: [Zope-PTK] Date Question OK, I have searched everywhere for the answer to this. It is quite simple but I can't seem to figure it out. All I want to do is iterate over cataloged objects(<dtml-in "Catalog(meta_type='object_type')">) and only show items who's bobobase_modification_date matches today's date. I just can't figure out how to set the fmt="%d" in an if tag.
