A growing database
by Jonathan Després 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

Hi Guys, 1) Since several weeks our database (data.fs) is growing very fastly. 2) We don't add alot of content in our database. 3) Our hits are growing fastly. 4)You can see our statistics here: Atomasoft.com, NanotechNews.com, MEMS Center.com, etc.. <name of the site>.com/usage 5) We got several problems, our websites were all down yesterday. When we packed, David Elkins (Hurrah.com) did it, it was ok. 6) If you know the problem, you got this problem in the past, I'd like to enter in discussion with you, or either me Jonathan(jonathan(a)atomasoft.com) or Calin (calin(a)atomasoft.com) or David (webgurus(a)hurrah.com) 7) We use several tools, Zope, YIHAW, Squishdot, a banner roation program (the one where you can add Flash banners!), etc.. we can help you in return with these tools if you want. Thanks for your consideration, --Jonathan Despres

[zwiki] wikimail, bug reporting practices ?
by Simon Michael 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

I'd like to solicit thoughts and opinions on two things: First, using ZWikiDiscussion vs using all pages ? Not many of you are subscribed to the whole wiki but it's kind of cool. You see everything. Say Geoff posts an interesting comment to WikiAcquisition. Now, I can just send an email reply back and it gets archived on WikiAcquisition. Or, I can change the subject so that my reply goes back to the generic ZWikiDiscussion page, which is where most of us are subscribed. When is it best to do one vs. the other ? It's good to have one central place where people can follow all discussion. I'm thinking that place should be "the whole wiki" rather than a single page. You do want a default page to catch general thread-mode discussion, which is how I see ZWikiDiscussion's role. Second: simple wiki-based means (eg ZWikiProblems) vs a more structured bug tracking system (eg sourceforge) for reporting, managing and reviewing zwiki problems ? Thanks for any ideas, feedback, etc. Just to liven things up I'm cc'ing the zope list. Reply where you will. :) -Simon

Zwiki privileges
by Trevor Toenjes 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

I installed Zwiki today and loaded 20 zwiki pages, but cannot figure out how-to... 1. give "anonymous" rights to "add comments" 2. restrict rights to "edit this page" "Change ZWiki Pages" in Security gives access to do both. This might not be the best place to post Zwiki Q's, but zwiki.org content looks like my desk with papers scattered everywhere. I cant find a zwiki mail list or any how-tos. Please scoot me in the right direction. TIA, -Trevor

Accessing ZWiki pages via ftp / permissions
by Oliver Sturm 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

Hi! I hope this is not too dumb... I'm stuck with a rather weird problem. I have a ZWikiWeb at "/projects/abc". Security settings for / are set so that only authenticated users can view stuff there (Manager has all permissions, Anonymous has none, Authenticated has "Access content information" and "View"). There's also a role "ftpusers" that has "FTP access". There's another role "abc" that has no special rights. Security settings for /projects/abc do the following: - The "Access contents information" permission is not acquired, but set only for roles "Manager" and "abc". The same for the "View" permission. - The role "abc" has all the ZWiki related permissions, which are also acquired (though this should make no difference). Now, all of this works fine. I can use the abc role to work with the ZWikiWeb, add, change, everything. BUT: I want to access ZWiki pages in the web via ftp. Using a user with the "abc" and the "ftpusers" roles, I can access all DTML documents and DTML methods in /projects/abc. But I can't even read any of the ZWiki page type objects in the ZWikiWeb, because I get 503 unauthorized folders. I checked and saw that there are no special permissions on any of the ZWiki pages. For a test, I granted the ftpusers role every permission available on the / level, to no avail. I fail to see what else I could allow the user to do, that he can't do yet. Can someone explain the logic of this to me? Is there some place to look (a log file or something), where I can see what is the exact source of this problem? Any help appreciated! BTW, before I started securing the site by taking permissions away from "Anonymous", ftp access to ZWiki pages used to work, so I'm sure there must be a way!

upgrade 2.3.2 to 2.4.1: import zwiki
by John Hunter 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

I just installed Zope-2.4.1 in a new dir and still have my Zope-2.3.2 in the old dir. I exported my Wiki dirs from 2.3.2 and imported them into 2.4.1. The data has come through fine. I am a little bit confused about how to use Zwiki in 2.4.1. Simon's log on zwiki.org says that it has been incorporated into the main zope product, and indeed I see StructuredText/Zwiki.py in the 2.4.1 distro, but I do not it in the products dir. Do I need to install the Zwiki product or is the StructuredText/Zwiki.py file enough? When I try and load one of my zwiki pages, I get the error: This object is broken because the ZWiki product that created it is no longer installed or is installed incorrectly. Please contact the product maintainer for assistance. Note that the data associated with this product has not been lost, and will be accessible again if the product is reinstalled. Can someone point me to some docs or otherwise provide some advice about what I should do next? Thanks, John Hunter

Structured Text, touble with tables
by Robert Rottermann 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

I try to create a table with structured text. I have the impression, that the results are rather erratic. I looked at the code that creates the table. However I failed to understand it. I attach a stx file with a table I would like to create. If any helpful soul could put it trough the structured text processor and tell me where it does find all the un needed dashes it puts into the table, and why it creates different number of columns I would be very grateful. Robert
