I don't think compressed storage would be related to this; though I have never used it, my understaing is that it only compresses large objects; the initialization of the db may have more to do with the number of objects (including old/deleted stuff)...

LocalFS customization - Upload Method
by Benoit Dominiak 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

Hi everybody, I'm trying to build a big file library which can be accessible through my zope server. So I've installed LocalFS. It's very good but I'd like to customize it a little bit : I made a Zclass wich contain informations concerning one file (like title, author, subject...). I'd like to be able to upload a file in my LocalFS object (easily with a form) and then to create a Zclass instance whith the id of the file. How can I modify the upload method to be able to do that ? Thank you in advance.

Zope Page Layouter available???
by Philipp Robbel 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

Hi everyone, one quick question: is there a Zope Product similar to a Website-Template configureable to the following layout: checkbox (yes/no) Title [ ] checkbox (yes/no) Description [ ] checkbox (yes/no) Picture [upload...] checkbox (yes/no) People [select box filled from a database ] checkbox (yes/no) Links [ ] `-> more... The user can interactively choose the categories he wants on the created page and fill in the boxes. That kind of product would be important for me since I'm dealing with clients who don't want to deal with HTML nor Zope DTML. If such a product is not available, can anyone at least point me to a place to start to create such a product? I was going to create a normal DTMLDocument called "Page Layouter" (including a form with the options outlined above). After the user presses submit, a python script is called that creates another DTMLDocument with the selected options. All I need would be some python code to get me started: My current problem is an Edit function for the created DTMLDocuments... or should I do something completely different? Thanks in advance, Philipp

RSS channel tag

30 Jul '01

Hi I would like to add RSS channels created through the syndication tool to the Intranet Portal site on CMF1.1. I have installed the ChannelTag product in the InstanceHome/Products directory to add the channel. I have also installed the XMLDocument product. but the ChannelTag product appears broken and gives the following traceback Traceback (innermost last): File "/export/usr/local/Zope3/Zope_software_home/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 528, in import_products product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "/export/usr/local/Zope3/Zope_software_home/lib/python/Products/ChannelTag/_ _init__.py", line 25, in ? import ChannelManagement File "/export/usr/local/Zope3/Zope_software_home/lib/python/Products/ChannelTag/C hannelManagement.py", line 51, in ? from Channel import Channel, manage_addChannel, manage_addChannelForm File "/export/usr/local/Zope3/Zope_software_home/lib/python/Products/ChannelTag/C hannel.py", line 59, in ? from xml.sax import saxlib,saxexts ImportError: No module named xml.sax Can anyone please tell me what is mistake I am doing? Are there any special considerations for installing the ChannelTag product? Or is there any alternate way of doing the same? Thanks for any help. Priya

File extension mangling & FTP/WebDAV
by Joel Burton 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

As many of us know, it's tricky to edit DTML/ZPT files in GoLive and Dreamweaver because both of them expect valid HTML files to have an extension (to be fair, both allow you to configure these extensions, so we could use something like '.dtml'; we just can't have it be blank.) I think that naming DTML Docs & Methods with extensions is a Bad Thing -- then, links are dependent upon the format of the file. If you switch from a dtml method to a dtml document or to a PageTemplate, you'd have to change your links. (Plus, .extensions make for slightly uglier DTML code; see my message earlier this week about graphic files w/.gif or .jpg extensions.) One possible workaround would be to patch the FTP and WebDAV upload/download so that: * for all the files in a folders, the server would add a simulated extension. For example, for dtml methods, the server would report a file called 'index_html.dtmm', or for dtml documents, 'index_html.dtmd'. * this file could easily be updated by most HTML tools. * when saving this file, the Zope server would re-mangle the filename back to the original. It's definitely a hack, but could be coded in much less time than it will take Macromedia & Adobe to fix their programs. I'd be willing to take a first cut at this, but I'm hoping someone has already done this, or has begun this work. -- Joel Burton <jburton(a)scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington

Re: [Zope] virtual hosting, Zope.cgi, and apache
by Steve Spicklemire 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

Hi Jack, I know it's sorta confusing. ZServer *is* doing pcgi. In my experience you get a little better performance using ProxyPass, but it's not a huge effect (no.. I haven't done any benchmarks.. just casual observation). The only real problem I've had with pcgi/rewrite is trying to server larger files. In these cases you may be better off server the files directly with apache, but then you lose Zope's nice security system. Of course, you can also mix Rewrite and ProxyPass if you like, Rewrite for directing stuff to apache (e.g., /static, /mailman, /cgi-bin) and ProxyPass (or [p] in rewrite I think is equivalent) for Zope. -steve On Sunday, July 29, 2001, at 10:43 PM, Jack Coates wrote: Hi all, I've always written everything in a text editor, so this whole app server thing is new to me... I've done my homework though, and Zope looks like what I want to build some better sites. I'm having trouble with virtual hosting, though. Here's what I've got (on Mandrake Linux 7.2, Apache 1.3.14): Apache on port 80, (3) name-based virtual hosts: works Apache mod_rewrite directives pointing to zope: works <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/baydoula-rewrite_log" RewriteLogLevel 1 # Let Apache handle requests for non-Zope content RewriteRule ^/static/(.*) /var/www/baydoula/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/icons/(.*) - [L] RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/(.*) - [L] RewriteRule ^/webalizer/(.*) - [L] RewriteRule ^/mailman/(.*) - [L] RewriteRule ^/zopedocs/(.*) - [L] # Ensure the documentroot is served by Zope and Apache passes # authentication headers to Zope as well.

But, it's all one Zope. Reading the fine manual, it looks like I need to do a VirtualHostMonster and call subfolders, but it also looks like you need to use zserver to do that. 1) What's the best way to support three virtual hosts? 2) I assume Zserver would give better performance than Zope.cgi. Is it a big pain to switch? Seems like I would remove the pcgi .rpm and install the zserver .rpm, change the rewrites from files to localhost URLs, and restart zope and apache? 3) Failing that, are there a few files I can copy around to make separate installations? Bad idea (I suspect so, upgrades would get uglier than usual).
