webdav + ms word
by Joe Gaffey 12 Sep '01

Hi all, What is the current status with the problem whereby one can't edit existing zope 'files' in MS Word? IE they come up as read-only. I read somewhere that this is related the level of webdav locking that Office 2000 expects. (is this true). I am using zope 2.3.3, but a first glance at zope 2.4.1 and the problem doesn't seem to have gone away. Does anybody know what I should do to get around this? Did any of you guys who posted about this before ever get any satisfactory workarounds? PLease Help, Thanks, Joe.

ANNOUNCE: Photo Product Update
by Ron Bickers 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

Hi all, After much discussion on images in Zope, I've just released a new version of Photo at http://www.zope.org/Members/rbickers/Photo/. Photo now has support for ExtFile/Image so that rendered display sizes can be stored in the file system. This keeps ZODB bloat to a minimum (for those who care about that) and provides the possibility for serving the images outside of Zope (eg, via Apache). Also, you now have the option to use ImageMagick or PIL for resizing images. ImageMagick is slower (much slower in my tests), but produces better results. See http://www.bickersfamily.org/Photos/PILvsIM/ for a couple examples. This is still a development version, but it works for me. If you used Photo 0.8.0, see UPGRADE.txt for important info. You can report bugs and feature requests at http://sourceforge.net/projects/zopephoto/. Enjoy! _______________________ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc.

Best way to do CVS in a project.
by acg 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

Mmmm... Ok, hi again. I´m spanish so, sorry for my English, :-). I´m trying to make the CVS of a project in Zope. A lot of people working in a project with different versions, stable, development, personal, ... I found some answer, making different folders, or using adquisition, or Rewriting standard error message to redirect in errors to an stable version. But, I don´t know. My question is: What is the best way to do CVS in Zope?, How to control and check all different modules in a project, for automagically have an stable version where everybody could make changes, without break works of others?. All suggestion can help me. An experience in this. Thanks. Antonio Carrasco www.udiberica.com acarrasco(a)udiberica.com "If you look heedfully Reality, you will be able to see pixels"

how to "see mailing-list archives"?
by Mitchell L Model 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

When people on this list say something like "see mailing-list archives", what techniques do they expect people to use? One way to rephrase this question is "what do people use to search the zope mailing list archive?", but maybe there are resources out there other than searches. I've poked around at various Zope web sites, but I haven't found any way to search archives like Deja News (now Google) or egroups (now Yahoo), so I assume I'm missing something. -- --- Mitchell

Folder renaming
by James van der Veen 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

Hia all! I have a little question. I have a from people can use to change some properties of a folder. But I would also like them to be able to change the folder ID How should I do that. The thing I´ve tried is with manage_renameObject(id=old_id, new_id=new_id) But then only the Manager can change the folder name.The 'moderator' gets you are not alowed to acces manage_renameObject. I just cant figure out which security to turn on/off for my moderators to get them able to change the folder ID. Can anyone tell me what the best way to do this is? Thanks in advance!

wysiwyg editor
by Sebastian Kügler 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

Hey group, I already discussed this issue with some people @Eurozope in Berlin two month ago, here's an update of the status. We planned to implement a WYSIWYG editor in zope, but it seemed quite hard to find one. This problem has been solved. Maybe there are people who already found the same one, edit-on, it is a product of realobjects, a company from germany. Although it is not open source, i would recommend to at least check the online demo http://www.realobjects.de/samples/cmsdemo/ and click around. To me it really seems to be a fine peace of software with enough features to integrate it in Zope in "the zope way". (customizing also seems to be quite conveniant as most of it's featurescan be configurated within xml files.) I am nearly finished with integrating edit on in zope (Not the most difficult hack i ever needed to make ;)) I think I do not have to explain all the possibilities such a tool can give especially when talking about CMS applications. Afaik realobjects can provide you with a limited evluation license for free. give it a try, report your experience if already existing, opinions and tips are also very welcome ... greetZ, sebas. ________________________ Sebastian Kügler Webmaster NSM

problems with first pyhton product
by Achim Domma 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

Hi, I'm just writing my first Zope (2.4.0) Produkt in Python, but I have some problems : I have two classes, one of them is folder-like and should contain the other. I followed the advice in the 'Zope Developer Guide' and created all neccessary files (interfaces, implementations, __init__.py,...) and I could use the objects in Zope. Everything fine so far. But now I want to call a memberfunction of an instance through the web. For example: I have an instance of an object with the id 'MyInstanceA' in the folder 'TestFolder'. Now I want to handle the data posted from a form via a memberfunction of this instance. The function is defined as: def handleFormData(self,param1,param2): ... If I try to access this function through the url '.../TestFolder/MyInstanceA/handleFormData' I get a 'resource not found' error. BTW the function is declared as public. If I name the function 'index_html' I also get an 'resource not found' error, but if I remove index_html Zope finds again the index_html on a upper level in the hierachy. I think I understand something wrong, so could somebody give me a hint ? greetings Achim
