Python 2.0 ??????
by OK Studio 18 Jan '01

18 Jan '01

My web site had been working until this morning for months without a problem. When investigating the cause of the crush I found out that my ISP just upgraded to python 2.0 without my knowledge. My site is as far as I know the only zope site there. It does not start or build. I tried to upgrade to version 2.2.5 (I was running 2.2.2) without a success. This is what i got when trying to upgrade to version 2.2.5 : Building the PCGI wrapper ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for gcc...

zope, xemacs and efs
by Geoffrey L. Wright 18 Jan '01

18 Jan '01

So I have a question for any zope/xemacs/emacs users out there... Since entering the word of emacs about 5 months ago, I've fallen in love. At work I now just about live in emacs -- well, actually in xemacs. I've even gone so far as to start using gnus for all my mail and news. And I at work I use efs to access most of the code that I work on. Unfortunately, I seem to have a nasty problem with efs and Zope -- about 1 in 6 or 7 times I try to access Zope with efs I manage to kill Zope! And this in not just one install of Zope, nor is it one specific instance of xemacs/efs. I've killed Zope 2.2.x installed on RedHat6.2 and 7.0, Debian, LinuxPPC and Win98. I've managed to do this with two different installs of xemacs on two different machines. In one case I was using the xemacs RPM that comes with RH6.2 Powertools, and in another case I'm using the gtk-xemacs from xemacs CVS. (and boy is it purdy!) Is this normal, or am I cursed in some way? I just download the 2.2.3b1 version of Zope, dropped on a RH7.0 workstation and managed to kill it again. The strange thing is, I never have any other stability problems with Zope. I'd LOVE to be able to use efs with Zope. Right now I end up cutting and pasting code in and out of browser windows -- which just feels kind of unwieldy... Thanks for any help or words of solace... //glw

RE: [Zope] Help with getting started with Login Manager
by Mayers, Philip J 18 Jan '01

Try this: http://www.zope.org/Members/jok/SQL_based_LoginManager Some extra pointers: Step 7: Customize the LoginManger instance to call the SQL methods You'll have this /root /folder /acl_users (LoginManager) /UserSource SQL_check_user SQL_get_password SQL_get_roles You're then supposed to add DTML Methods called userAuthenticate,userExists,userRoles *BUT* if you do this, you'll be locked out. Instead, add xuserAuthenticate xuserExists xuserRoles Edit & test the DTML methods, then when you're sure they work, batch rename them (i.e. tick the boxes next to all three, then click rename). They'll be renamed as an atomic unit, and hopefully the LoginManager will work. It can be very frustrating to get going though - Once you've completed step 6, I recommend taking a copy of "folder" i.e. /root /folder (...etc...) /copy_of_folder (...etc...) If you break it, you can get back to /root, delete folder, copy "copy_of_folder" back to "folder" and not have to start from scratch. Very time saving.

Solved (was RE: Data type coercion and "records")
by Mayers, Philip J 18 Jan '01

Doh - my fault... RTFM I think... I think I misread the linked page. When unmarshalling the records, Zope will only create a new record in the list if the current record already has the given attribute. So, provided you always put the textboxes before the checkboxes, it will always work. Unless there are non-compliant browsers out there...

ZTopic is slightly out of date; in particular, it uses the (text) indices without wrapping them in their catalog, so they can't acquire their vocabulary object.

Data type coercion and "records"
by Mayers, Philip J 18 Jan '01

18 Jan '01

*Now* I remember why I like Zope so much... I'm using the ":records" to marshall a complex hierarchical form, and I'm a little worried by this comment: http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/howto/FormVariableTypes Note: Before creating a second record and adding an attribute, Zope gets the last record in the list and checks to see if that record has the attribute. If the first record doesn't have the attribute, it inserts the attribute and value instead of creating a new record. For example, if the user entered a name and age for Member #1 and only an email for Member #2, the list will have only one record. That record will contain the name and age attribute from Member #1 as well as the email attribute from Member #2. This isn't a problem for me, *except* <sigh>. I want to be able to tickbox certain fields to delete them, as well as alter the values in the textboxes to alter other fields. *BUT*, my HTML manual says that "CHECKBOX name/value pairs are only submitted to the server if the field is checked" So, I would expect this: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <table> <dtml-if list><dtml-in list> <tr> <td>&dtml-a;</td> <dtml-if b><td>&dtml-b;</td></dtml-if> </tr> </dtml-in></dtml-if> </table> <form><table> <tr> <td><input type="text" name="list.a:records" value="1a"></td> <td><input type="checkbox" name="list.b:records" value="1b"></td> </tr><tr> <td><input type="text" name="list.a:records" value="2a"></td> <td><input type="checkbox" name="list.b:records" value="2b"></td> </tr><tr> <td><input type="text" name="list.a:records" value="3a"></td> <td><input type="checkbox" name="list.b:records" value="3b"></td> </tr><tr> <td><input type="text" name="list.a:records" value="4a"></td> <td><input type="checkbox" name="list.b:records" value="4b"></td> </tr><tr> </table> <input type="submit" value="test"> </form> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> To read: 1a 2a 3a 4b 4a If you just ticked the 4th listbox. But it doesn't - it works as I "want" it to work, i.e. it reads: 1a 2a 3a 4a 4b Why? I'm glad this does, but as the saying goes, if you don't understand it, it can bite you when you least expect it. I've tested this under netscape 6 and IE5.0. I know I can work around it (set the value field of the checkbox to contain the information it's referring to) but I'm curious as to what's going on. I note that if you swap the textbox and checkbox around, it does indeed "break", and the delete is associated with the previous record as you'd expect. So - I suspect the behavious of "records" changed at some point? My question then becomes - does the HTML/HTTP spec guarantee that if I put the checkboxes *after* the textboxes, and Zope is marshalling the records in a useful fashion, this will always work on a conforming browser?

The traceback you posted looks as though you are trying to import a "product" tracefile someplace other than Control_Panel/Products, which is the only place possible for such beasts. You didn't post the actual exception type/value ("above" the traceback in the HTML page), which would help diagnose the problem better. Knowing the version of Zope and the specific products in question would help, too; I can't imagine that Debian version is an issue at all.
