Zope and Python WebRing
by lozinski＠openstepnews.com 02 Oct '01

I have started a Zope and Python WebRing, and I invite you to join. www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=PythonAndZope;action=addform Or you can look at who has joined so far. www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=PythonAndZope;action=list I am pleased to say that the first site on the ring is www.python.org, run by Guido van Rossum, the creator of python. While the ring is still in its infancy, I have managed a webring previously, www.openstepnews.com, and this ring has Guido's backing, so I expect that this ring will grow very quickly indeed. I hope that you choose to join the ring. Is anyone interested in helping me build a webring server in python and zope? Regards Chris 1-510-795-6086 lozinski(a)openstepnews.com lozinski(a)jobmart.com

Re: [Zope] CatalogAwareBase doesn't auto-reindex?
by Chris McDonough 01 Oct '01

Hi Bryan, Please keep the mail on the maillist, thanks. This is a limitation when using prebuilt forms from the properties interface. The prebuilt propertysheet editing forms don't call reindex_object. You need to create a custom properties-editing form with a target that calls reindex_object as well as modifying the properties. You could make the target a Python Script or a DTML method, as long as it calls the right stuff (manage_changeProperties and reindex_object) on itself with the right values.

RE: [Zope] Add more examples in Zope Book API reference
by hans 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

Please, No. what i want, is a quick, concise reference. examples clutter essentials. Material w examples is better left to tutorials.. However, i would like to have indications about which feature works with which zope+python version. also, i would welcome a table of contents with url#section... im glad the Zope Book exits.

Sequence Help
by Todd Loomis 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

All: I'm using sequence-even to make 2 different background colors. However based on my sort, when I look at the page some of the background colors are grouped together. Can this be fixed or is the something other then sequence to be used here? Thanks, Todd

Using XEmacs with Zope
by Oliver Sturm 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

Hi! I'm having some problems with that combination, it seems. I can open a DTML method from the Zope ftp server with XEmacs. Right after opening the DTML method, XEmacs logs the message "Unable to set umask to 22 on ffweb#8021" (ffweb is the server). Now, real problems come when I want to save the thing using C-x C-s: XEmacs renames the original DTML method as a backup copy (appending a ~) and creates a new object for the changed content, only this is a DTML document instead of a method. At the same time, it creates a log message saying "CHMOD 660 failed for /test/vtest on ffweb#8021". I have read lots of stuff about how to use different modes for editing and so on, but nobody seems to have these problems. Any ideas? Oliver -- Oliver Sturm / <sturm(a)oliver-sturm.de>

zpt and webDAV
by Lee Marzke 01 Oct '01

I need to get some non HTML coders involved with Zope on our Intranet. I use the management interface and Emacs, but I need a Windows based soution for the others. Is it worth looking at Dreamweaver or Go-Live for the webDAV solutions. Any recommendations ? Thanks, Lee Marzke lmarzke(a)adelphia.net

parsing bookmark files
by Timothy Wilson 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

Hi everyone, I'd like to create a page where our school's media specialists can maintain a central bookmarks file for the entire school district. I've created a simple upload that works fine. The file is quite large, however, and produces a single Web page that is very long and rather unwieldy. Has anyone written a Python script, external method, etc. that would parse through a bookmarks file and create a more user friendly Web page from the contents? Perhaps one could use <dtml-tree>? -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.org | http://www.zope.com W.
