Mega memory leak?
by Ron Bickers 20 Nov '01

20 Nov '01

Why do I get the feeling there's a big honkin' memory leak somewhere? Any ideas? Data.fs is 65.3MB Zope is using 295MB RAM Zope version: (Zope 2.4.2 (source release, python 2.1, linux2), python 2.1.0, linux2) Python version: 2.1 (#1, May 16 2001, 13:53:30) [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)] System Platform: linux2 Process ID: 15705 (4101) Running for: 11 days 14 hours 36 min 5 sec Top Refcounts: Acquisition.ImplicitAcquirerWrapper: 35920 Products.PageTemplates.Expressions.PathExpr: 26938 AccessControl.SecurityManager.SecurityManager: 12693 ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.HTTPRequest: 11986 Products.PageTemplates.TALES.SafeMapping: 8978 exceptions.KeyError: 8942 Products.PageTemplates.TALES.Undefined: 8576 Products.PageTemplates.PythonExpr.ExprTypeProxy: 8566 exceptions.AttributeError: 8209 Products.PageTemplates.ZRPythonExpr.PythonExpr: 5412 AccessControl.DTML.TemplateDict: 4686 Products.PageTemplates.TALES.TALESError: 4506 TAL.TALInterpreter.TALInterpreter: 4492 Products.PageTemplates.TALES.Context: 4490 ZPublisher.BaseRequest.RequestContainer: 4116 AccessControl.SecurityManagement.SecurityContext: 4116 ZServer.FCGIServer.FCGIResponse: 4115 ZServer.FCGIServer.FCGIPipe: 4115 ZPublisher.BaseResponse.BaseResponse: 4114 OFS.DTMLMethod.DTMLMethod: 3945 Products.PageTemplates.Expressions.StringExpr: 2136 OFS.Application.Application: 1264 ZODB.POSException.ConflictError: 732 DocumentTemplate.DT_Util.Eval: 559 OFS.Folder.Folder: 415 ExtensionClass: 382 Products.PageTemplates.ZopePageTemplate.ZopePageTemplate: 359 _______________________ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc.

Telling Users to Wait
by Edmund Goppelt 20 Nov '01

How do I warn my users that a given Zope page will take a long time to load? Is there any way to load a preliminary "please wait this may take a while" page while the user waits for the real page to load? -- Ed Goppelt

I just had a quick question about zope or two... First one being, I know that everything is web enabled, but is there anyway (currently made or not) to let people use "fake" tags and parse them later to do something? i.e. We have a bunch of rather... non-web-people where I am and they currently have something in perl where they can do things like put asterisks around a word to make it bold and things such as that. Is there any equivalent in zope? Thanks, Shawn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: [Zope] editors

Hello, On this topic, I have a question also ... Are there editors that allow the editing of properties on objects? Is there such a way to do this with DreamWeaver? Uploading files is nice, but without being able to set properties, a lot of the power of Zope is lost! Isn't this supposed to be doable over WebDAV?

This is great when I'm developing Products because I can have product modules and Zope objects open at the same time in the same editor. But then, emacs is not just an editor, it's a bit of a kookoo religion.

RE: [Zope] Newbie Question : Problems with Automatic Cataloging o f ZClasses
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 20 Nov '01

Make sure that you set up the indexes and metadata entries in the Catalog for the method and/or property names you would like indexed, or cached in metadata columns, respectively; then, make sure your ZClass was first inheriting from CatalogAware. Also, make sure you are reindexing the object upon object construction, and edit as well... That should be it... If this works, you should be able to access instance objects' entries in the catalog with your query form via <dtml-in Catalog>, and you can use the metadata column name in <dtml-var> inside the dtml-in for your search summary content, or (slower) use Catalog.getObject() to get the referenced object directly (i.e. <dtml-var "Catalog.getObject().id">)... good luck...

I have been trying to create zclasses whose objects get automatically catalogued. I have followed the tutorial in the Zope Book (Chapter 9 - 'Automatic Cataloging' section) and it all seems to work correctly. When I go and view the entries in the catalog however, only the date gets registered in the index, and date and absolute_url gets registered as metatypes - no other properties appear to be registered. I have tried other tutorials and HowTos but cannot seem to find an effective way of updating a catalogue with all the objects properties.

I'm sorry I post in HTML sometimes, It's bloody outlook, the bat stopped working and I've been stuck on outlook, great program if it wasn't for the security and the proprietary crap.

Newbie Question: Returning random images for use in <img src=''> links on other server
by Ben Chapman 20 Nov '01

20 Nov '01

Everyone: Please excuse this if it is a FAQ; I've looked and I've got the book, but I'm am just not getting this. Our main web server (I can't change this) is an IIS box. I want to generate links to random images stored within zope. What I want to do (on the IIS box) is: <img src=http://myzopeserver/content/showimg> where showimg does something like this on myszopeserver: [BEGIN BROKEN CODE] <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'image/jpeg')"> <dtml-var expr="_.whrandom.choice(files.objectValues())>" [END BROKEN CODE] In other words, I want the "raw" image data stored in one of the random files located in the files folder to be returned. This does not work; it seems I need the read() method of the file object, but I don't know how to integrate that with the construct above. Any help would be most appreciated. Sorry for the very basic question. We're running Zope 2.1.6 and Python 1.5.2 Ben Chapman Director, Computing Resources, University of Tulsa College of Law bchapman(a)utulsa.edu

New Zope site... maybe
by Paul Winkler 20 Nov '01

20 Nov '01

I stumbled on this page today: www.desktoplinux.com A pretty nice-looking portal. I can't find any mention of what they're running, but something about it said "zope" to me... but netcraft says it's running apache. Well, OK, we know that doesn't necessarily mean it's not zope. Curious, I played around and discovered something: Take any page on their site. These, for example: http://www.desktoplinux.com/products/index.html http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT9545254683.html Chop off .html, and replace it with /index_html: http://www.desktoplinux.com/products/index/index_html http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT9545254683/index_html No matter what, you get the same thing as if you went to: http://www.desktoplinux.com/index_html Smells like Acquisition! -- paul winkler home: http://www.slinkp.com music: http://www.reacharms.com calendars: http://www.calendargalaxy.com
