How to upgrade to 2.3 (no differential install?)
by Brad Clements 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

I'm running Zope 2.2 on RH Linux 7 I see that there's no 2.2-to-2.3 .tar file.. Why? What's the correct way to upgrade my existing Zope installation? -- Call me stupid, I can't find the proper command line switch to get tar to ignore the top level directory name Zope-2.3.0-linux2-86 Do I have to untar into a junk directory, then cp -r everything to my current dir?

[OT perhaps] ZMySQLDA
by Lee Reilly CS1997 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Hi, I wonder if someone could comment on what they think my problem with the following may be. I have the ZMySQL DA installed, which works fine (I think). Testing my database in UNIX I created a table and populated it with some values. From the 'Test' page of the database connection in Zope I queried this table and it returned the correct values. So the connection string's fine. Now, here is where I ran into problems. Entering the following into the 'Test' page executes no problem. CREATE TABLE STUDENTS ( matric float (7), fname varchar(20), lname varchar (30), uname varchar (8) ) when i try and query it from Zope or Unix (select * from students) I get "OperationalError: (1146, "Table 'lreilly.students' doesn't exist")" and (table lreilly.students does not exist" respectively. I've even tried changing the tablename to lreilly.students but still no luck. Can anyone see what my problem is? Thank you very much in advance. - Best regards, Lee

Catalogaware ZClass
by Sven Hohage 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Hello, usually I'm more patient but this time it's a very important feature(I have to build an archive). That's my question from yesterday: --->> I try to delete a Catalogware ZClass with subobjects that are also ZClasses. That's my method to delete a Class: <dtml-in "objectValues('ZClassPage')"> <dtml-let x=sequence-item> <dtml- if "in_work"> <dtml-call "manage_delObjects([x.id])"> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> But Zope answers: An exception occurred in a DTML method or document. Error type: BadRequest Error value: 980785769 does not exist But '980785769' EXISTS in the management-interface !! :-(( ---> It would be very nice if someone could give me a hint.Thanks!

Re: jcntuserfolder and Zope 2.3.0 works for me

My customer runs Zope 2.1.6 and the product runs with its installation. That is all that matters. I know that the Zope security machinery was changed in Zope 2.2 so jcNTUserFolder should not work with it (but, it might work, I don't know) I also kwnow that the security machinery in Zope 2.3 was made backwardly compatible with older authentication products like mine, but I cannot guarantee it because I didn't even try it on Zope 2.3 > I'm using it to authenticate users from a NT domain. Seems to work. > The problem I have is how do I use it in the PTK. > I'm not sure how to replace the default one with the ntuserfolder. Well, I have not looked at the PTK for 1 year. If the PTK use the login manager, the short answer is 'you probably can't replace the default one with jcntuserfolder' if the PTK use a modified user folder (like adding some properties to user objects), I guess you can't just replace the default one with jcntuserfolder if the PTK use the default vanilla user folder, well, it might work to just replace the default one with jcntuserfolder. regards, jephte.clain(a)univ-reunion.fr

Is it possible to use regular CGI's like htDig with zserver?
by Chris Beaumont 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

I've been fooling around with htDig as a method of searching both my dynamic pages and older static pages, on two different sites, and it works great, since it's a 'spidering' search engine.... But since it is running on the same machine as my Zope install, while experimenting with it, I've had to run it on port 81, using a dedicated instance of Apache. I realize that the "right" way to do this would be to run Zope as a CGI and use Apache as the server, but since the performance of zserver has been quite good I wanted to ask this. I know that Zope can serve pages put of the filesystem. (i.e. act as a standard web server in some ways) Can it also avail itself of the services of Apache-compatible CGIs, notably htDig? And if so, how would I set that up? Thank you! Chris Beaumont cbeaumon(a)msri.org

default html header
by Cyril Elkaim 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Hi, I've a little problem with Zope. I want to send documents but WITHOUT any HTML header like "<html><head></head>". When I create a document or method having only 'pure' text I systematically get the previous header. How can I do to have Zope sending my page without adding this default header? Thanks in advance Cyril Elkaim

LoginManager dlpierson example
by W. Robert Kellock 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Hi, I'm new to Zope and I've been examining the LoginManager example given by dlpierson (http://www.zope.org/Members/dlpierson/sqlLogin) Although I am nowhere near understanding what it is doing, I'm very close to getting it to work - I think! It looks to me like I'm falling down in the PythonMethods (PythonScripts) in the Member ZClass. Are PythonScript arguments typeless? I keep getting an error Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute 'password' from the authenticate method which I'm passing self,password. Strangely following this error, I can hit the back button on my browser and reach the protected HTML page anyway! Here is the traceback. Your help would be appreciated.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W.Robert Kellock Ph: +64 3 326 6115 Sales Manager Fax: +64 3 326 6115 Credit Systems Control Ltd Web: www.creditscore.co.nz "making decisions easy" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extended characters in Zope
by Ausum 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

I have to deal with documents and its attributes wich have a lot of extended characters in them, like the "ñ" or the hyphened "á"..."ú" vocals in spanish. The ones who download the pages in Windows don't have any trouble. The ones who use Mac will see strange characters, as it might be expected. Updating a page or propertie from a Mac will cause the same problem for Windows users, because Zope doesn't convert the extended characters to the web-friendly format when properties are added. I'd also like to search in Zcatalog using these extended characters, ie. "Effects of El Niño", from any platform. Is there a workaround for this situation? Ausum p.d I'm sure that european Zopists have already faced this problem and probably found a solution. Unfortunately I couldn't find it at the archives.
