ZMySQLDA

Hello, I am trying to get MySQL support for zope 2.3.2 working. I have installed mysql-python 0.3.5 and ZMySQLDA 2.0.6. I copied the _mysql.so file to my ZMySQLDA directory under my zope installation. When I start zope with ./start I get the following error: 2001-05-30T23:40:07 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't import Products.ZMySQLDA Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/2-3-2/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 528, in import_products (Object: string) File /usr/local/zope/2-3-2/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/__init__.py, line 91, in ?

ImportError: /usr/local/zope/2-3-2/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/_mysql.so: undefined symbol: PyObject_Init Zope starts but with MySQL support. I saw messages in the archive about this problem, but did not see any solutions. I am running Mandrake 8 with MySQL 3.23.36 Anyone have any idea as to what I may be doing wrong? Thanks for any help, Steve

Are there any products for managing FAQ lists under Zope? (I know it's fairly simple and easy, but I thought I'd ask.) -- Cheers! Chris Ryland Em Software, Inc. www.emsoftware.com

Uhhh. I'm the only zope developer (that I know of) at Williams Communications :( I'm not in IT and I get to develop because IT can't develop fast enough :) They use Java, jsp and asp.

I don't know :) Well it is, sort of, as I have spend the last 6 hours trying out solutions to the problem. And now I am sort of run dry. I don't know how many times this has happened for me when programming in zope. In simpler systems like asp and php I would know how to make a workaround. But if there is a hurdle in Zope you are just stuck. And if the problem isn't rather simple there is no help from neither the mailing list nor #zope. This is Zope's biggest problem for me. You need to know the whole system to make even simple things. Well that isn't your fault, I just had to let out some steam. regards Max M

Problems with demo server of Proiektor
by Peter Bengtsson 30 May '01

30 May '01

I tried the Proiektor demo server and it looks promising. 1) The Mini calendar should highlight todays date. 2) The address book link on the right should be "Search Address Book", not "Address Book" (since the link on the left side does something completely different) It would be nice if one could - in the Mini Address Book - do both Search and Add. or even a link saying <pseudoenglish>Search and if fail, add</pseudoenglish>. 3) The Address Book thing in the right pane doesn't work (JavaScript disabled Opera 5.02 Windows). Naughty boy. You are using JavaScript to submit the form! 4) When I in the quick Address Book search type in a firstname, I expect to be able to just hit Enter and that submits the form. This is sometimes buggy in NS, but I know that it is something users are expecting to be able to do in IE and Opera on Windows. 5) When adding an entry to the addressbook, the tab key jumps between the input fields zig-zag. It should take you from "First name" to "Middle name" to "Last Lame" (notice the spelling). Use the tabindex="2" HTML attribute. 6) It's not possible to click entries in the Address Book to edit them or see more info. This for example returns a 404 http://demo.iuveno-net.de/Proiektor/Organizer/acl_users/2/Persons/2//Contact s/9/editContactForm 7) Clicking the Delete link in Address Book gives you this message Error Type: NameError Error Value: REQUEST 8) Copying a URL from an inlogged session browser into a non-logged-in gives this ugly message: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: canAccessObject 9) In the Task Tree, what does the little plus symbol mean? For some reason Opera won't show me the ALT of the image when I roll the mouse over it. And the icon itself isn't intuitive. 10) In the Task Tree the priority shouldn't be an integer. What does 1 mean in contrast to 5?? Use 'high' 'normal' and 'low' instead. And I think three priority options is enough. 11) On the demo server changeing or adding a Task is impossible. It just returns 404's http://demo.iuveno-net.de/Proiektor/Organizer/acl_users/2 And List of all Tasks doesn't work either. 12) Why is status "Halted" by default when you add a Project? 13) """Should be a "refresh this page" option link. What do you mean? I know! When you add a note, and click "Save" you'd expect to see your note in the list of other Notes. IE autorefreshes. Add a feature for controlling the chachedatetime of the templates. <a href="submitsave.html?setcachdate=1second">Save</a>""" % from the Notes page. 14) View Resources in demo in Group Functions doesn't work. What does that do? 15) For the whole tablestructure, I reckon you should expand it a little bit more. There is still plenty of whitespace out there to fill with content. (this is a skin issue perhaps, but it should be changed for the default). 16) A second click on the "E-mail" column in the Address Book should reverse the order. Like Windows and X does. It's not very fast (yet 10 times faster than worldpilot). But this is probably because of other reasons than the code, right. What might be the bottleneck so that I can think of that when I install one. There's great potential in this, but there are little things to think about first. Keep it simple. You've done that well. Use HTML form buttons instead of hyperlinks to do things like "Save" or "Change" or "Cancel". Even though that serves no purpose, it's what people are used to. A hyperlink is a connection to another reference somewhere else and doesn't give the feeling of transmitting away information like a button does. Buy a PalmPilot and try to imitate their interface. It's really good and well thought of. Note how has it is. The AddressBook product (http://www.zope.org/Members/morphex/AddressBook) is only an addressbook, and seems to be a little bit more advanced (at least its planning) when it comes to importing and exporting contacts using the vCard format. I'd like to be able to upload my M$ Outlook contacts in all at ease and upload my Psion vCard files without having to click Save and Confirm buttons. I also want to be able to export one or more contacts in different ways. Any plans for enhancements to the Address Book in this direction? I'd loved to help you. I noticed the note about "Palm Pilot synchronization." in the "Planned Features" list. That's great! How easy would it be to add on my own interfaces to this? I have lots of BugTrackingPseudoIssue meta_type objects around that I want to interface to. Is this easy to do? Plus can I build it so that it only works for certain users? Now, for the most exciting feature. Since speed is everything and you can't ever get good speed with web apps like this. The only way to get the best performance is to download (mirror) the HTML and keep them offline so that your startpage in Opera can be http://localhost:8080/staticproiektor/overview?username=peter&password=bengt sson. The frontpage index_html can be downloaded as static HTML by a cronjob every 1 hour or what ever and using some brains it should be possible to pre-render the static pages so that they know exactly when and when not to use the real live site. If you have a busy cronjob, the only thing that needs to be online is the database. And each of your static page should have a manual refrech button that says "Refresh this page by downloading the current version from the online site" What do you see in the future for this? Phew, very long email. I was excited by the demo and I now want to install it. Here we go! Peter

Zope and SSL
by Chris Ryland 30 May '01

30 May '01

I've scoured the various Howto's and have found some things related to using Zope and SSL in various ways, but I still can't quite figure out the answer to a really basic question (please be patient--I'm a real Zope newbie). Can Zope itself be configured (without TOO much pain) to use SSL directly, i.e., a provide a secure (https:) connection not using Apache as an intermediary? I've already got Apache working with SSL, so I've got all the certificates, keys, etc., and it's "just" a matter of getting Zope to talk security itself, directly. I'm also curious why this isn't built-in to Zope, i.e., why it isn't (or doesn't seem to be) important to the core DC folks? Thanks. -- Cheers! Chris Ryland Em Software, Inc. www.emsoftware.com
