SendMail on NT
by Horst Wald 25 May '01

25 May '01

Hi! I have installed ZOPE on WINDOWS NT. Unfortunately the SendMail-Tag doesn't work like the manual says it should (nor does any example I have seen yet), so could anybody please give me a code example that works on NT? Thanks Horst _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I use NetMind's URL-Minder to tell me when the wikis I need to be on top of are updated. I watch RecentChanges when I care about the whole wiki, individual pages otherwise. > 2.

With e-mail, I can use whatever editor I prefer. There's no reason to edit in the web browser if you don't want to. With FTP, you can use whatever editor you prefer. I only use the textarea to make new pages, and only then because I've been too lazy to set up the PUT hook that would remove this. > I certainly missed many points. I'd be glad if anyone says his/her > words in favor (or agains) web or email-based collaboration. It's not really a split. Email archives are usually web based, but they're not editable like wiki pages are. I hate web-based replacements for mailing lists, but wikis aren't that. They're complimentary. -- Karl Anderson karl(a)digicool.com

Thank YOU so much Hans !! This worked just fine.

Dtml-in objectItems
by Paul Zwarts 25 May '01

25 May '01

Morning all, I cannot make this code work: <dtml-with Interop> <dtml-in expr="objectItems('Interop')"> <a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title_or_id></a> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> I've been searching for hours now in the list and site, but I've found nothing that tells me why I get a blank page when I'm trying to list the objects in the Folder Interop.... This snippet of code is in the same directory as the Interop folder... which has a bunch of folders and files in it. Can anyone help with this supposedly blatantly simple piece of code? Thanks, Paz

Vote for Windowing Toolkit to use for Fat Client
by jimbo 25 May '01

25 May '01

I'm not sure if this counts since it uses wxpython, but it already has some support for zope. The project is still moving forward. The zope support needs some more documentation. jimbo http://sourceforge.net/projects/boa-constructor/

[Q] thread option in Python
by YOON, Joo-Yung 25 May '01

25 May '01

I built zope from source, but it acts strange. When I make any change in the Zope management screen, it works, but I can not see the change (e.g. newly added folder) on the screen. So, I would like to know what happens to Zope if Python was not built with --with-thread option. joo-yung

[ANN] ZShell 1.0 Final
by Jerome Alet 25 May '01

25 May '01

Hi, I'm pleased to announce the awaited availability of ZShell 1.0 Final. ZShell is an external Zope method which allows you to manipulate the ZODB using standard unix shell's commands from within Zope's Management Interface in your web browser. ZShell is licensed under the GNU General Public Licence, with some clarifications of my own concerning it's use with Zope. You can download it from: http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/zshell/ New features are: ================= - The history command now works, please read its help. - The lsperms command now works. - The setperms command now works. - The lsusers command output was made cleaner. - The locate command was removed until post-1.0, because I don't know enough about ZCatalog searching yet. - about command modified, and source comments modified wrt the GNU GPL. Credits: ======== This couldn't have happened without the help of the following people: Peter Bengtsson Simon Michael Jason Cunliffe Michel Pelletier Godefroid Chapelle Laurent Pierron Toby Dickenson Jim Penny Many thanks to them ! Post 1.0 plans: =============== - Make most commands recognize options, the most useful options would certainely be: --recurse and --maxdepth --hasperms= --type= --mtime= --mmin= --owner= ... Finishing and factorising the do_find() code should do it. - Add the locate command to search in ZCatalogs. - Create a ZShell Zope product, to allow people to create ZShell scripts, just like Python Scripts or DTML Methods. - Piping between commands. - Set up a webpage, CVS access, and mailing list somewhere (SourceForge ?). - Create a test suite (it's a joke). Feel free to send any feedback, especially if you like or don't like features, or if you want to help in some way. Enjoy ! Jerome Alet - alet(a)unice.fr

[ANN] ZShell 1.0pre3
by Jerome Alet 25 May '01

25 May '01

Hi, I'm pleased to announce the availability of ZShell 1.0pre3. ZShell is an external Zope method which allows you to manipulate the ZODB using standard unix shell's commands from within Zope's Management Interface in your web browser. ZShell is licensed under the GNU General Public Licence, with some clarifications of my own concerning it's use with Zope. You can download it from: http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/zshell/ New features are: ================= * view, manage and properties now work fine. * Modification time format in ls output is shorter. * The dump command works. * wget now handles local files and directories correctly. * suckfs will never exist because wget now can do that, and more... * Added some urls to the GNU GPL FAQ, backing my position. * DocStrings fixes. Apart from the fixes, the most interesting things in this version are: * you can now suck files or directories (not recursively yet) from the server's filesystem into the ZODB, using wget. * you can now dump objects' source to the server's filesystem using the dump command. However only objects which have a callable document_src attribute are dumpable, yet. This means, essentially: DTML Methods, DTML Documents, Python Scripts. Thanks to all the people who helped to make this happen, especially Jim Penny who gave the dump command idea, but I've just realised I've forgotten to put his name in the CREDITS file... (it's a TODO for the next version) As usual, comments, patches, bug reports, etc... are welcome. Jerome Alet - alet(a)unice.fr
