ANNOUNCE: Zope 2.3.0 beta 2 released
by Brian Lloyd 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

Hello all - Zope 2.3.0 beta 2 is now available. You can download it from Zope.org: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.3.0b2/ Highlights of the beta 2 release: - Changed the implementation of emergency_user to be backward compatible with the expectations of third-party user folders. All third party user folders should now work with Zope 2.3 without modification. - Zope is now much more tolerant of dependency problems in ZClasses. Some people were experiencing problems porting Products to upgraded Zope sites when their products contained ZClasses derived from base classes in other products (which may or may not have been installed on the new site). Zope is now much smarter about managing and recovering from failed base class dependencies and will re-register broken ZClasses when the missing Product causing the problem is installed. - Fixes for several other (more minor) bugs reported from beta 1 For more information on what is new in this release, see the CHANGES.txt and HISTORY.txt files for the release: - http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.3.0b2/CHANGES.txt - http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.3.0b2/HISTORY.txt Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

You could probably use a method or script with a proxy role of "Manager" to return the property sheet. I am not sure, whether it is a good idea, though. Dieter

The sendmail tag should raise an exception, if it is unable to deliver the message to the mail server. However, this does not mean that the message will reach the recipients. Well behaving mail servers will return a mail that is undeliverable, though. > ... > Is there any sort of log file kept detailing (send)mail > activity that I could perhaps use? dtml-sendmail does not log the messages, but the mail server probably does.

(Cc || Bcc) && <dtml-sendmail>
by Jeff Peterson 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

We built our intranet on ZOPE 2.2.x, mostly it is a tech support app that ensures our techs only deliver the info we need. Anyway, the method of doing this is sending a form via email with the info. The Problem: I would like to Cc or Bcc the originator of the request with a copy of the request for record keeping purposes. I cannot however seem to get Cc or Bcc, written as headers much like the To and From, to work with <dtml-sendmail>. In addition, all documentation of <dtml-sendmail> I have seen does not talk about either Cc or Bcc. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance... ______________________________________________ Jeffrey D.

What the f*ck went wrong...?
by Stoonsdesign 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

Suddenly the Zope-server http://community.3dfestival.com/ didn't work.... It is a Linux machine running Zope 2.2.4... Two files had been "Corrupted"... data.fs and some python-file... Could this be a Zope-thing or was it "simply" a hardware-prob...? One thing more... One week before this happened I had to remove a poll (Amos Latteier's Poll product, version 0.7.1) it messed something up... it simply did not know "results" anymore, and I couldn't even go into it (you know from manage) to change/check anything... Weird... Does anybody have any clue....? ( = Stoons = ) - Webmaster @ 3D festival (http://www.3dfestival.com)

zwatchdog dead
by jb 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

Well here it is, I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, upgraded, and re-upgraded Zope more that 25 times in the last 2 weeks. When I get Zope 2.1.6 installed and running and upgrade using rpms to Zope 2.2.2 the server goes down and comes back up witout a problem. But as soon as I manually restart the server, this error occurs: zope status zwatchdog dead but pid file exists zserver is stopped So I kill everything, and delete the pids and locks /var/run/zwatchdog.pid /var/lock/subsys/zope And I must be an idiot, so somebody help me out here. What's going on? Thanks, johnb

Mental disconnect help: Zope objects vs. Python objects in ZODB
by andres＠corrada.com 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

Hello, I'm designing a large e-commerce site with Zope. In the process I have also designed an object API for the site. My problem is that I can't bridge my conception of ZODB as a database for Zope objects and my conception of ZODB as a container for Python objects. For the latter case I'm thinking of AMK's ZODB/ZEO repackaging. For example, I want to create a Python class for a Product object and store the instances in the ZODB. I have looked at ZClasses and they don't seem to support data structures that I'm comfortable with in Python like dictionaries. Am I being dense in this mental disconnect and is it just trivial to write Python scripts that create objects in the ZODB and have Zope dtml calls that access the attributes in these objects? ------------------------------------------------------ Andres Corrada-Emmanuel Email: andres(a)corrada.com ------------------------------------------------------
