Interbase DA
by Tom Deprez 23 Oct '01

23 Oct '01

Hi all, Hi couldn't live with the fact that the interbase DA didn't had a 'browse' tab? Perhaps nobody uses it, but I find it sometimes handy to quickly look at the tables structure... so I added a browse tab. I copied most of the code just from the other DA's (hope nobody minds) and adjusted it to Interbase. Hopefully it will soon be incorporated in the 'official release' of the interbase DA, but until then, you can just ask me to send it to you. Regards, tom.

Mixing Open Source licenses
by Bruno BORGHI 23 Oct '01

23 Oct '01

Hello, Is there any documentation somewhere on the impact of the mixing of licenses between ZPL and GPL, for a Zope site ? For instance, suppose I develop for a customer a business application with Zope (ZPL) and MetaPublisher (MPL - Mozilla) , and that a very independant part of the application is just having Zwikis (GPL) for ordinar use without modification. What does apply to my application itself ? My understanding is that my application is not GPLed if it does not rely specifically on a GPL module. Do you agree ? And what about GPL Python modules ? Python being an interpreted language, what is the impact of a GPL python module over the general license issue ? More. MySQLdb has a choice of license between GPL and the original license based on Python 1.5.2's license. It has a C module _mysql.c that is linked with the Python executable. What would be the status of my application using Zope and MySQLdb, if the only choice was GPL for _mysql.c ? Although it is not of paramount importance, this license issue worry customers for which we develop applications, even if they do not plan to redistribute the application. I would like to give an answer that is generally accepted in the Zope community. Thanks, Bruno Borghi http://www.akeirou.com

Yes. From source builds though, and using python 2.1 compiled from source. We have Solaris 8 and 2.7 and there's no problem there. > Did you have any problem installing the binary release?

No. A python comes with the binary release, but you may *want* to install python as a system wide program as it's so useful. > Sorry for so > many questions!

LocalFS, HTML-Files and their Links
by Christoph Folberth 23 Oct '01

23 Oct '01

Hello alltogether! Again i can offer the zope community an (hopefully) interesting problem: I have a normal Folder called "MAnual" in the zope root Follder, inside is a LocalFS-Folder which points to a directory ~/html/html/. As anyone can imagine the ~html/html/ Folder is full of HTML-Files, which are linked to severel pics in the folders (on my HD) ~/html/icons/, ~/html/images/ and ~/html/screenshots/. Everything seemed to be just fine, but THEN i realized, that zope does'nt seem to find/show SOME pics in the ~/html/screenshots/ directory. Strange enough it seems to find SOME OTHER Pics from the same folder. (of course, i checked that those pics are really there - they are!). It seemed to me, that the pics which zope does'nt show are quite large pics (> 100kb). Here comes the Lines of the Page Source: This is the Line of a pic, Zope doesn't show: <img src="../images/screenshots/screenshot_Delta2D_Dual_Channel.png" alt="images/screenshots/screenshot_Delta2D_Dual_Channel"> This is the Line of a pic, Zope shows: <img src="../images/screenshots/Layer_Panel_Colors.png" alt="images/screenshots/Layer_Panel_Colors"> Both Files definitly DO exist, the only difference is, that the unshown one, is far bigger (about 300kb compared to 5kb)... I hope, someone could help me... Thanx in advance Chris!

It chokes on the *size* part of the above line of code. Is it possible to call <dtml-var size> from within the External Script? Or, how else should I call it? TIA, BenO

First External Method

Hi; Here is my very_simple external method. It is called sizeCalc >>> def sizeCalc(x,y): print x*y <<< I have imported the external python method. I call it in a script with this line: <img src="images/top" width=<dtml-var sizeCalc(1008,<dtml-var size>)> height=<dtml-var sizeCalc(82,<dtml-var size>)> alt=""> Yes, <dtml-var size> is defined.
