Missing usingWithEmacs Howto
by Andreas Tille 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

Hello, the Howto http://www.zope.org/Members/nemeth/usingEmacsWith is missing from the Zope site. I have a copy of this document on my local disk but I'm missing the images learningzope-zopedevenv.png learningzope-emacs.png which possibly solve my problem, which is the following: I can read Objects into Emacs but can not save the edited DTML text. I'm sure that the problem described in Before using emacs with your Zope repository you should be aware of that 1. You cannot use version objects via FTP. If you open a file stored in Zope with emacs it is always opened outside of any version object. If someone changed a document in a version, and you open that document, you will get the original version, but you cannot save your changes. doesn't occure because there isn't any other user on my offline box, which I used for testing. Any hint what might go wrong here? Kind regards Andreas.

Solution for ERROR(200) ZServer Cannot write PID file when used INSTANCE_HOME
by Grégoire Weber 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

Hi Evan, Hi all, I made a cc to the zope list because other people could encounter the same problem and I couldn't find anything appropriate about the solution in the list. I tried to make my life easier with INSTANCE_HOME as described in http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/instancehome. All seems to work fine. But Zope displays the following error on startup: 2001-02-13T09:41:49 ERROR(200) ZServer Cannot write PID file. After some searching I know what happend. I _moved_ the whole var directory to my INSTANCE_HOME so zope couldn't write the pcgi.pid to the disappeared var directory anymore. So I propose to mention the fact in your the How-To that at least a empty var directory has to remain in the original zope installation. This note applies to Zope 2.3.0 (and possibly to former versions too) on a NT4SP6us machine. Greetings, Greg P.S.: Sorry about my emglish. It's not my mother tongue! _____________________________________ Grégoire Weber mailto:gregoire.weber@switzerland.org

uploading mutltiple files
by Lee 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

Hi, Could someone tell me if it is possible to upload *mutliple* files using, for example, <input type="file" name="file" enctype="multipart/form-data"> to a zope directory? I've got an app built and I'd like to add a facility for a individual user record system displaying every user's photograph as appropriate. My university's security system maintains a database of students and their photographs and indexes them similarly to how my app has been designed. At the moment, these pictures (GIFs) are on another server. I can access them this way but I'd like a facility to 'grab' these photos and store them in Zope directory. Is it possible to create an interface for a user (not via the zope admin screens) to select multiple files from this location (like holding down 'CTRL' while selecting them) and uploading (or should that be 'transferring' them)? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks a lot, Lee

Try setting a REQUEST variable like so: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('expand_all',_.int(1)"> before you call your tree tag ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francois-regis Chalaoux" <Francois-regis.Chalaoux(a)sanofi-synthelabo.com> To: <zope(a)zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 9:54 AM Subject: [Zope] How to force to expand a tree tag > Hi All, > > How to force to expand a tree tag when you render it ? > expand_all="1" as attribut seems to not work. > > Error: > ==== > Invalid attribute name, "expand_all", for tag <dtml-tree branches="publicObjects" skip_unauthorized="1" expand_all="1" sort=id>, > on line 11 of menu.html > > FR > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** > (Related lists - > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

newbie Q: <base href="">
by Andre Quintos 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

Greetings. I'm currently setting up Zope for this company I work for. Everything is going smoothly so far except for 1 thing: Zope adds a <base href=""> automatically to every page. It looks like this: <base href="http://wwwproto.ima.com//support/" /> This really messes up the URL whenever I use the navigation bar. It looks like this: http://wwwproto.ima.com//purchase/support Notice the 2 slashes after the .com. That won't look very good once we launch the site. Is there a way to "tell" zope to stop adding that <base href=""> tag? I'm running Zserver and Apache at the same time. Hope that extra info helps. Thank you in advance to anyone who helps.

self-referencing URL behavioral change in 2.3.0?
by Bill Anderson 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

Sorry for the vague subject, couldn't think of a better one ATM. I've been a site on 2.2.4, ZEP (041), and use balance (http://balance.sourceforge.net) to take advantage of multiple processors. Balance runs on port 80, and acts as a port forwarder-type setup to balance between three or four ZEO clients on ports 6011,6012,6013,6014. (How to coming as soon as I can get this problem fixed ...). Under Z2.2.4, everything ran fine. under 2.3.0, zope is now outputting URLs that have the client port tacked into them. Example of different URLs: under 2.2.4: http://www.immortalitysystems.net/Documents under 2.3.0: http://www.immortalitysystems.net:6014/Documents I am running siteroots for some subdomains (http://zmc.immortalitysystems.net) and am taking advantage of some, undocumented features (I guess that's what you'd call them) (see above howto reference ;), so i would rather not create a siteroot in the root folder that rewrites everything to http://www.immortalitysystems.net. This is a pure zope solution, no other server available to do the rewriting. THis solution worked perectly in 2.2.x, what changed, and how can I get it back? Bill Anderson PS, for some reason, I am not receiving the list mail, so please cc me.

Hi all. I just tried to write a class in PythonScripts, and came up against a problem. The class is: class Alpha: alpha = 0 def set(self, alpha): this.alpha = alpha It seems that PythonScripts does not like this. Am I not supposed to be able to define classes?
