LocalFS fix

Hi, there is a problem in LocalFS.py: the permission to overwrite files is called 'Overwrite local files' but manage_overwrite() tests 'Overwrite files' permission... Here is the patch. -- Bertrand Croq - VIRTUAL NET (http://www.virtual-net.fr) 80, avenue des Buttes de Coesmes - 35700 RENNES tel: +33 2 23 21 06 30 - fax: +33 2 99 38 16 85

Moving a application from digicool.com to our host...
by addyd＠unk.edu 13 Sep '01

Greetings fellow earthlings, I have just been retained as a web consultant for the local newspaper. One of the projects they have for me involves Zope (which I have not worked with beyond installing it a couple of times, but have followed it's development for a couple of years). Apparently they purchased this application from Digicool and also hosted it with them. They were told that Digicool is going out of the hosting business and they would have to move the application. They don't seem to have any of the documentation that came with the program when it was purchased. My understanding is that the directory was tarred or zipped and moved to the new server. The hosting company knows nothing about Zope. They are supposed to be giving me shell access to do what needs to be done. So... a couple of questions. 1) How do I find out what sort of Support Contract the newspaper has with Zope.com (if any... this was purchased some time ago). 2)Do you feel it would be necessary to purchase a new support contract (assuming the old one has expired) or once things are installed and running is there much to support? 3) Since this application was purchased some time ago, I'm wondering if it will still work with a current version of Zope (or is it likely that something is broke). 4) What steps do you recommend for moving this application successfully? I'm assuming I would start with getting the current version of Zope installed on the new host and somehow exporting the database into the new database. Any pointers to HOWTOs, etc? I would think that since DigiCool (now Zope) caused this problem by going out of the hosting business that they would provide some sort of instructions/information for their customers that are placed in this position.

Re: ExtDocument problem

Vineet, Is the catalog named 'Catalog' and acquirable to the document? (this uses CatalogAware, and that's how it works) And secondly, is the Index still called 'PrincipiaSearchSource', not Principle, because that is the attribute name. You can test the functionality of the method by calling it on the ExtDocument like this... http://SERVER_NAME/extDocInstance/PrincipiaSearchSource and that should give you the "raw" data that will be indexed. If it's none of the above, let me know. -- Tim McLaughlin iterationZERO - www.iterationzero.com 703.481.2233 Vineet Ahuja wrote: > > Dear tim, > > I got ur email from zope mailing list. > I am trying to index pdf files using ExtDocument. > But as i add a pdf file from the management screen as an ExtDocument,it gets > added successfully but when i catalog the ExtDocument There is nothing in > the principle search source. > I have installed the pdftotext successfully . > But i dont know as to why still I am not getting anything in the Principle > SearchSource. > > Please Help me !!! > Best Regards, > Vineet Ahuja > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

I solved it by renaming _getNewId() to getNewId() ... Go figure. Must have something to do with permissions. I will try you solution too though, as _getNewId() really is meant to be a private method. regards Max M
