BOF at Python Conference
by Spicklemire, Jerry 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

Hi Zope and Python Fans, So far there have been two topics proposed for Zope "Birds of a Feather" gatherings: Content Management Framework (CMF, aka PTK) ZEO and Mission Critical Zope Can anyone hazard a guess as to when these might take place, for those of us who just can't manage a four day trip this time? Thanks, Jerry S.

Wrapping zope header/footer around LocalFS html objects
by Pieter Biemond 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

Hello, Today I installed the LocalFS-product and would really like to use it to wrap/zopify (local) html-files on a Zope-site. That is: see a HTML-file with the Zope standard_html_header and standard_html_footer attached. I read the LocalFS-FAQ at http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/HowTo/DTML_with_LocalFS and tried the following dtml-document: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var "localfsdir['somefile.html'].data"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Unfortuately it doesn't work. Can anybody tell me why? Furthermore, I really would like to be able to render a lot of HTML-files this way (and extract the TITLE and BODY tags if possible). Did anybody do this before? I found a bit of Python code that should be able to extract the body-tag, but I am clueless how to get it to work using LocalFS. page = <<somehowreferencethelocalfsobject>>.data regex = re.compile(r'<body.*?>(.*?)</body>', re.I | re.M | re.S) result = regex.search(page) if result: return result.group(1) else return "no body tag found" Any help would be appreciated, Pieter Biemond PS I also tried using DocBrowser, but can't get it do to what I want either.

Virtual Host Monster question
by spinwing＠inwind.it 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

Hello I was playing around with SiteAccess and VirtualHostMonster to get aquainted to it. My simulation is: I have a Zope folder called http://host:8080/virtual. My goal is to have Apache on top of Zope running at http://host and hiding the zope by translating all requests from http://host/virtual into http://host:8080/virtual, thus shielding the 8080 port. I found a lot of documents about that, so I managed a way out doing the following: Apache httpd.conf ProxyPass /virtual/ http://host:8080/virtual/VirtualHostBase/http/host/VirtualHostRoot/ ProxyPassReverse /virtual/ http://host:8080/virtual/VirtualHostBase/http/host/VirtualHostRoot/ ProxyPass /misc_ http://host/misc_ ProxyPass /p_ http://host/p_ Now my virtual directory works. Now comes the problem. I have a method called index_html. If I call http://host/virtual the methed gets displayed but no pictures and all the links are pointing to the Zope 8080 port. However, if I call the method directly http://host/virtual/index_html, everything is perfect..... Then I said, ok I try SiteRoot, but whenever I add it to the folder, setting the base path to http://host/virtual/, then I cannot manage it anymore from the management console.....however, if I browse it at http://host/virtual/manage I can see only the subfolders, not the root folder..... Can somebody help me with this? Thank you Regards Stefano

TextImage , PIL installation troubles
by walter＠pleyer.com 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

Hi folks! I've been trying to install TextImage for a while now, but apparently my PIL setup is wrong. I can see TextImage in my Products-list, but it only displays the following error-message: Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 397, in import_products product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "/var/zope/lib/python/Products/TextImage/__init__.py", line 5, in ? import TextImage File "/var/zope/lib/python/Products/TextImage/TextImage.py", line 12, in ? import PIL.Image ImportError: No module named PIL.Image Can anyone help me with some advice on setting up PIL properly? Thanx Walter

Add Python Product Tutorial to Zope book?
by Hamish Lawson 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

I realise that the Zope book can't cover every topic in advanced detail, but it might be hoped to touch on each of the major topics, even if whetted appetites have to seek further information elsewhere. However I feel that one major topic has been omitted entirely without any appetite-whetting opportunuity, namely developing Python products. Could the Python Product Tutorial* not be added to the book? It seems to be written with a similar approach as the existing chapters in the book, and so wouldn't seem to require too much work to be incorporated. Without a chapter like this I feel that the Zope story hasn't quite been told.

RE: [Zope] Newbie - security
by Farrell, Troy 02 Mar '01

First, on the Security tab of the folder to protect, remove the 'Acquire Permission Settings?' checkbox on any permissions you don't want the folder to get from it's parent. Generally, the root object allows anonymous access to the 'Access Contents Information' and 'View' permissions. If those were the only ones you needed to adjust, only unselect those checkboxes. If you want no acquision, you would uncheck all the 'Acquire Permission Settings?' boxes and set only the permissions you desire.

Paradox and zodbcda
by Hans de Wit 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

Hello, I am having problems with a Paradox database that is connected via odbc and the zodbcda into Zope. I tried it on two machines now and after a day or two the connection doesn't work anymore and i cann't revive it. Has anybody experience with connecting Paradox databases via ODBC into Zope (and give a hint). The symptoms are: When you test the database connection with a very simple SQL query: select * from atable The first time it gives back (this is my english translation of the dutch error message, stuurprogramma = driver / driverprogram?) Error Type: sql.error Error Value: ('S1093', -1003, '[Microsoft][ODBC Paradox-driverprogram] Invalid argument.') The second time that you issue the test it sends: Error Type: sql.error Error Value: ('24000', 0, '[Microsoft][ODBC-driverprogrammanagement] Invalid cursorstatus') Before i started the test the first time i was able to browse the database. All tables were shown. After the first test not anymore. Probably this is not a Zope error. The error messag is in dutch and Zope is in english. The messages hint that the problem is somewhere else. I was able to connect to the odbc source via Excel, even after the testing. Thanks Met vriendelijke groeten, Hans de Wit h.de.wit(a)scp.nl
