RE: [Zope] index.html problem
by Fritz Mesedilla 26 May '01

26 May '01

well, the reason i wanted to use index.html is for log files to process it properly. but thanks to web*r (i'm not advertising cause i don't even know them) i was able to produce the webstats we needed though i had a lot of trial and error going. zope produces images as *folders* in log files that it includes that in the stats. but i was able to find a way to omit this. thanks all.

Data.fs packing persistently shuts down
by Fritz Mesedilla 26 May '01

26 May '01

help! when i'm running zope and zeo, data.fs packing doesn't work. i can see in the process list that it does nothing. it is only when i change the custom_db.py to disable zeo and restart zope that packing works again. is there a way that i can pack the data.fs while zeo and zope is running? and how do i configure zope to run and use "/usr/local/zope/var/data.fs" as its database and not "ZEO Storage" which is in the same server? essentially they use the same database, however, zope in that same server becomes a client that i think zeo doesn't allow it to pack the database. please help! thanks.

Actually most of the support will be via XML-RPC, but not all. Some calls will use DC's Client.py (over HTTP so it should not be a problem) as some of the Zope API calls require keyword arguments which XML-RPC does not support.

ZEO homogenously distributed
by Jørgen Hermanrud Fjeld 26 May '01

26 May '01

Hi. Having seen the implementation of a high speed database, based on a homogenous cluster of machines, I wonder if there are plans to make a ZEN (Zope Enterprise Network). I am imagening ZEN with the following properties: -Must consist of at least 2 machines. -Data is always stored in at least two different machines --This makes no need for a disk write, only a saved to memory on two machines acknowledgement. -All machines share the object index. -All machines can handle requests and forward or load balance the request to an appropriate machine. -Extending the cluster is just about adding another machine. -When a machine goes down data redistributes so that the cluster is reduntant to yet another machine failure. These are just some thoughts, but I would like to know if this is an idea that someone might deem doable. Sincerely Jørgen

I did not install other things than the source tarball from zope.org. There are two things. 1. I can not log-in as the manager account. (Sometimes yes, but sometimes no.) 2. The management interface screen does not reflect the changes I make immediately. Maybe some time has passed, and I make a connection to the zope, then it shows the changes.

DTML/Python to upload documents
by complaw＠hal-pc.org 25 May '01

25 May '01

First, let me say that I'm making a site for lawyers to use to upload documents. Now you know why it needs to be as simple to use as possible. The easiest thing to do would be to use the Zope interface. It doesn't always work out that way... I have created a form (DTML method), an addFormAction (DTML Method), and a Python script to make a pretty screen for gathering information and uploading the file. I would like to do something fancy with the ID (like remove blanks from the filename, change : and / to _, etc, and be certain that it is a unique id. But that is for another day... The problem with the following code is that it does not put a file in my folder. All it does is copy the location of the file (e.g., G:\some\path\to\file\filename.pdf). No document. If I get this right, I'm going to post in on ZopeLabs. (ZopeLabs is a really great idea, incidentally.) Here is the code for the form... <dtml-var standard_html_header> <H3 ALIGN="center">Add a Document Associated with the <dtml-var case_style></H3> <P ALIGN="center">Enter the information below to upload the document.</P> <FORM ACTION="addFileAction" METHOD="POST"> <table border="0" cellspacing="8" width="95%" align="center"> <tr> <th width="25%" align="right">Date of the document:</td> <td width="75%" align="left"><input type="text" size="40" name="document_date:date" value="<dtml-var ZopeTime fmt="%B %d, %Y">"></td> </tr> <tr> <th width="25%" align="right"><em>Brief</em> description of the document:</td> <td width="75%" align="left"><input type="text" size="40" name="description" value=""></td> </tr> <tr> <th width="25%" align="right">Keywords to help people find this document:</td> <td width="75%" align="left"><input type="text" size="40" name="keywords" value=""></td> </tr> <tr> <th width="25%" align="right">Unique Filename for the document (No blanks): </td> <td width="75%" align="left"><input type="text" size="40" name="fileid"></td> </tr> <tr> <th width="25%" align="right">The document to upload:</td> <td width="75%" align="left"><input type="file" size="40" name="uploaded_file"></td> </tr> <TR> <TD WIDTH="25%" ALIGN="right"></TD> <TD WIDTH="75%" ALIGN="left"><INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Upload Document"> <INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear"> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </form> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Here is the code for the addFileAction DTML Method.... <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-call expr="addFile(document_date, description, keywords, fileid, uploaded_file)"> <h1 align="center">Thank you for your entry!</h1> <p align="center"><a href="<dtml-var URL1>">Return</a> back to the documents page.</p> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> And, finally, the Python script... # This code adds a file to the folder... # Use the user-supplied fileid as the id... id = fileid # Create the document... context.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFile(id, title=description, precondition="", file=uploaded_file) # Add the properties... doc=getattr(context, id) doc.manage_addProperty('document_date', document_date, 'date') doc.manage_addProperty('description', description, 'string') doc.manage_addProperty('keywords', keywords, 'string') I'm sure you all guessed where I picked up this line of thought and code. I'm probably missing some little thing. I've gone over load_site.py, File.py and Image.py and sevearl HOWTO's, but still managed to miss the solution. The upload page of Zope itself has many solutions, but I couldn't find the particular file in the source for the upload file page. I think that somehow the contents of the file are not getting through the form, but haven't been able to confirm that. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Ron

RE: LocalFS manage_overwrite Permissions Question
by Flynt 25 May '01

25 May '01

Hi I stumbled about a problem in LocalFS today, and when searching the mail archives, I found that the question was raised already in March, but not answered. So I send the answer also to the list. Here is the archived email: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2001-March/085619.html The *Overwrite local file* permission is not working from the ZMI, so that only users with the *Manager* role can overwrite a file via uploading. I run Zope 2.3.2 with LocalFS-0.10.1 (which is the actual version on zope.org) The problem is a typo in module LocalFS, class LocalDirectory, method manage_overwrite (line 678 in LocalFS.py). Instead of: if user is None or not user.has_permission('Overwrite files', self): it must read: if user is None or not user.has_permission('Overwrite local files', self): ------------------------------------------------------^^^^^^--------------- I apologize, if the typo is already known and I come with something old. Greetings --- Flynt
