Pub. Company trying to patent object publishing?
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

Hi folks, Not trying to hijack the list for a rant, but I thought this might be of interest to some folks. Belo, a media company that owns a variety of TV stations, newspapers, and online operations, looks to be trying to patent what looks to essentially be object publishing (in a similar sense that Zope has - content-neutral objects published to multiple media). The irony of this all is that I found this in an article on the Newspaper Assn. of America's web site; the article embraces open-standards (XML, industry standards, etc), in the news content industry, and the author of the story is Belo's CTO. It seems to really fly in the face of truly embracing open standards to patent such ideas (especially in-light of the fact that publishing wit XML really demands OO techniques in the first place); and I think that there is plenty of prior art in Zope. Supposing their patents are approved, could/would a company such as Belo start using legal tactics the second that a company or individual someone started developing an open-source product on the Zope platform that cut into the news-content vertical? Or if someone at a newspaper wanted to use Zope's object database for a data-store or content-neutral repository, would they be a target? The second to the last section of the article is what I refer to, at: http://www.digitaledge.org/monthly/2001_01/newlanguage.html I think Zope would be prior art. I'm curious to see what everyone else thinks. Sorry to bring up a non-technical question on a mostly technical-related list, but I think this is something that needs to be discussed...

ZWikiWebs Product
by Matthew Monacelli 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

Has anyone else had trouble using the ZWikiWeb product? As Manager, there are no problems, but users I have added cannot add ZWikiWebs in their own folders. While already logged in, a login box comes up, meaning they do not have the necessary permissions. When I cancel the box, I get the Zope error message stating that the user is not authorized to access Control_Panel. I have given the user role (that I created) access to view contents, view, use factories, change zwiki pages, and serveral others. Is there something I am missing? Thanks, Matt

Re: [Zope] Storing and Using Object references

Hi Andy, Thanks for the feedback. Yes I see that I can call the methods using the url (which will give me the object) but I thought that was only in dtml. I need to access the object in my python code. that's the struggle I'm having. or did I miss something in your response?

raw search on a ZClass
by aZaZel 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

Hi! I have some ZClass istances that are catalog-aware. Someone knows how to do raw (full text) searches over all the property values of the istances? I have tried the "raw" index trick used for other object types but without success. Or maybe another way to do the thing . Thanks in advance Alberto

Do you have an example of the XML you are trying to use? File size, in bytes? Just curious, as I have had no problems with XMLDocument (in Zope 2.1.x and 2.2.x) working with newspaper stories from AP online in NITF XML...
