Please test latest CVS of the Zope AddressBook
by Mike Renfro 28 Jun '01

28 Jun '01

http://zope-contacts.sourceforge.net/ It works for me, and is almost entirely feature-complete, I think. The nightly CVS tarball should be updated in several hours, but if you already have CVS, check out the files and see how they work for you. I make no guarantee that any AddressBooks from previous versions will seamlessly upgrade to the latest CVS, but hopefully they will. Should this code cause your Zope server to catch fire, remember that this message says "test it out on a non-critical server". Report any bugs or requests in our trackers on Sourceforge, please. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- renfro(a)tntech.edu

How does a dtml-method of a ZClass refer to the ZClass instance?
by Jean Lagarde 28 Jun '01

28 Jun '01

Help! I think I still have a long way to go to fully grasp the namespace/acquisition/whereverelsevaluescomefrom structure of Zope (and I suppose I'll find all of it rather obvious once I 'get it'). Simply put, I would like to access the objectValues (i.e. the contained objects) of a ZClass instance (based on ObjectManager) from a dtml-method of the ZClass, no matter what the calling path is, and I just can't figure it out. My specific problem is that I am calling the dtml-method of a ZClass instance from a dtml-document contained in a second instance of that same ZClass, and no matter what I've tried so far, the dtml-method always ends up using the objectValues in the second instance. I have verified that the ZClass dtml-method is called within the context of the instance I want, because if I insert <dtml-var aPropertyOfMyZClass> in the method, it spits out the correct value of the property for the instance. What I really need is to get a hold of the ZClass instance itself, let's call it 'self', so I can use 'self.objectValues()' inside of my dtml-method. It seems to me that if I can get to aPropertyOfMyZClass, I should be able to get to the instance that owns that property, but how? I know that 'aq_parent' and 'this' are not what I need. I have also tried 'superValues()', and 'getParentNode().objectValues()', just in case. Any suggestion would be appreciated. I have kept the description of my setup pretty simple here (there are a few intermediate calls between the dtml document and the dtml-method of my ZCLass); I can provide more details as required. Also, nobody has volunteered to answer my question at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zope/message/64321; given the flow of messages on this list queries quickly get lost, so I hope that this reminder will get me a reply or two ;-) Cheers, Jean

Python Path?
by Etienne Labuschagne 28 Jun '01

28 Jun '01

Hi all After installing more than one Zope on my machine I noticed the following: The one installation's Python path also appears in the other installation's. Is there an easy way to make sure that a Zope installation acts as if it was installed on a clean machine without Python? I would like to have an installation like that since I have been surprised previously by import errors etc. when installing Zope on a client's machine and (wrongly) thinking that I had all the modules at hand, only to find out the installation only worked on my machine due to another Zope having a specific module on the sys.path. I know I can hard-code sys.path in the z2.py file, but it doesn't feel that elegant to me. Any suggestions? Thanks Etienne

manage_upload and file objects
by Sedat Yilmazer 28 Jun '01

28 Jun '01

I have a special httpd clinet that sends the file encoded as base64 . In the DocLibrary product they have doc.manage_upload(REQUEST.file) I want to change that to something similar to doc.manage_upload( base64.decodestring(REQUEST.file)) But manage_upload waits for a file or an object that mimics a file and base64.decodestring needs a string ( base64.decode( f1,f2) needs f1 and f2 as file) so I need an object that mimics a file so I can decoded ( file object ??) base64.decode(REQUEST.file, decoded) doc.manage_manageupload( decoded ) is there such an object ? Any suggestions ? Sedat Yilmazer Kibele Iletisim Sis. ve Serv. Ltd.

Want to Build Bulletin Board for Local Events
by Bill Bell 28 Jun '01

28 Jun '01

I am an experienced software developer who is new to Zope. I live in a rural community. As a public service I'd like to build a site that is capable of accepting short notices about upcoming events such as theatre performances, tavern gigs, church suppers, etc and then of displaying them using either a calendar page interface or scrolling list. One of the many reasons that Zope appeals to me is that it seems to make it relatively easy to make it possible for others to post these items themselves. Or, IOW, I can't afford to spend time entering all of these events myself. I don't want to have to learn everything before I do something--if you know what I mean. OTOH I would like to master a substantial part of Zope over the next few months. Would someone be willing to suggest one or two places where I can download Zope systems somewhat like what I want for study and adaptation? Thanks for any help! Bill
