Hi there, I decided to change the name and the metatype of one of our products. Since we created a website with it that is about to go online, I would like to be able to change the instances of the product to the new meta type programmatically. How should I do that. Thanks for your tips. Robert

Salespitches for zope
by Heimo Laukkanen 22 Oct '01

22 Oct '01

How many of you have had to do sales pitches for Zope as a platform to client or clients who have been reading magazines and understand that Microsoft .Net, Lotus Notes, Java XXXX or Macromedia Coldfusion are terms that they should be hearing, since journalist have been writing about those products? I had a terrible flue last week, but still had to do a pitch and come up with atleast a couple of points in my presentation. Hope these can help you, and hope you can give me some more. Pitching for zope is not a problem in my own company and some of the clients, who just want to get the job done. But from time to time client also wants to participate into the technology selected. Basic points - also from zope book: - Scalability - Open standards - Security - Management ( www ) - Programming ( dtml, Python, perl ) Other points - tested in real life ( examples needed with good figures - users, years, load ) - un-sexy ( not hyped, no need to hype - it just works ) - open source - licencing fees - no lock in - support - active community - books starting to be available - from developers point of view - easy to work with after understands what is it all about - objects are nice - nice - nice How have you made your client to see what you see in Zope? -huima

Yeah, I was searching for a software product to propose which would allow us to do this. Didn't search long, but I found mailgw http://hes.iki.fi/mailgw/ and I heard of it before. Perhaps it's at least a starting point. cheers, oliver

Newbie

greetings- I am new (2 weeks) to the zope scene and enjoy what I see. I have spent the day learning database connectivity and would like to get reference material on ODBC, particularly as it relates to Zope (for example, how do I handle date/time data types). I have the Zope book, which is a great start, but I feel that I am ready for more. Along the same lines, what do you feel is the best way to learn screen layouts? Should I look at the source of pages I like? Or is there a reference on (HTML??) design? Thanks, everyone!

Thanks

Due to the sheer volume of personal attacks I have received from members of this list over the past three days, I find myself in somewhat of a predicament. These emails have been rather upsetting to me, and while I'm normally fairly thick skinned about such things, this has simply gone too far. I now find myself dreading reading my email, and that is unacceptable. I am bracing for a new round of the same once the digest goes out, hopefully the percentage of cowards is somewhat less in the digest userbase than the live userbase. I'm have unsubscribed from the mailing lists, and therefore I guess I invalidate my previous request for a new one. Thanks it's been fun.

Browse the namespace
by David 22 Oct '01

22 Oct '01

Is there a simple way to be able to browse the namespace. Ideally I would like to know what each of the namespaces are that are in context and each of the name, value pairs. Also: as a 2nd question. If you can add a user to an acl_users folder using dtml how can you delete a user? -- Best Regards, David Price

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied '/Zope/Zope-2.4.1-linux2-x86/var/Z2.pid' I'm logged in as root with full permissions. Can someone tell me why this problem is occuring and how I can fix it? Thanks. Mark
