Backing up ZODB
by Chris Gray 08 May '01

08 May '01

Are there any gotchas in backing up a _live_ instance of Zope by archiving Data.fs? Will caching, ZEO, or something else make this hazardous or unreliable? Is there a way to dump ZODB instead of just copying the Data.fs file? Thanks, Chris

Strip-o-Gram HTML Conversion Library Released
by Chris Withers 08 May '01

08 May '01

This little library was part of Squishdot. However, it's is useful in its own right, so I thought I'd release it seperately. It provides two methods: html2safehtml -- This strips out unsafe tags, JavaScript and the like based on a set of valid tags that you provide. html2text -- This converts html to text, some might even call it structured text ;-) To find out more, go to http://www.zope.org/Members/chrisw/StripOGram. Patches and bug reports are always welcome! cheers, Chris

images
by Joe Copeland 07 May '01

07 May '01

How can I place an images in an "/images" folder so that they can be acquired by my entire site. I've placed my images in a directory called "/images" but I can't use the <dtml-var image.gif> tag to access the image unless I'm in the /images directory or beneth it. Is there a way I can set the source directory of all image objects so that whenever I call upon an image by the image name Zope can find it? Thanks, Joe

External method default arg weirdness
by Paul Winkler 07 May '01

07 May '01

This is with Zope 2.2.2. If I give a default argument to the external method, and call it from a dtml method, the default gets used even if I pass the argument. Example: Try creating two external methods and calling them like this from standard_html_footer. <dtml-var "my_ext_method1(_['id'])"> <dtml-var "my_ext_method2(_['id'])"> Here are the two external method definitions: def my_ext_method1(id): return "<br>%s" % id def my_ext_method2(id="oops"): return "<br>%s" % id Anybody else get this? Why does it do that? -- ................... paul winkler .................... custom calendars & printing: http://www.calendargalaxy.com A member of ARMS: http://www.reacharms.com home page: http://www.slinkp.com

is ZEO the answer?
by Erik Myllymaki 07 May '01

07 May '01

I would like to publish my Zope site internally (Intranet) via HTTP AND externally via HTTPS (Internet). Should I be looking at ZEO or another option? Using on HTTPS server for both would be the easiest, but the intranet use is pretty heavy and I don't want to incure the overhead of SSL on what doesn't need to be encrypted. Thanks in advance, Erik Myllymaki erik(a)pacific-shores.com
