Trouble w/ Photo product and Imagemagick
by Tim Wilson 09 Jan '02

09 Jan '02

Hi everyone, I'm setting up Zope 2.5.0b3 and Ron Bickers' Photo product on a new home server. Zope is installed fine, but I can't get the Photo product to use Imagemagick to render the different sizes. Using PIL work fine, but the resulting images are not nearly as good. I'm running Zope on a Debian (woody) Linux system. The imagemagick page is installed via apt-get and I can use Imagemagick's 'convert' program (which Photo uses) just fine from the command line. Permissions on 'convert' look fine. Rendering the images produces the following traceback: Error Type: IOError Error Value: [Errno 32] Broken pipe  Can anyone provide a hint here? I've got essentially the same setup on a production server I use (except I'm using Zope 2.3.3). I installed Zope 2.4.2 on my new server as well and I had the same problem as with 2.5.0b3. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.org | http://www.zope.com W.

Transferring from one Zope server to another
by John Wheeler 09 Jan '02

09 Jan '02

I have a conundrum. I have a Zope installation on my local machine, which I have the admin role and filesystem access, and I want to transfer files to a folder on remote machine, that I only have the manager access to. Without filesystem access, I don't see how to use Import/Export to the remote machine (from worked great). The "Upload" button in Add/Edit has the kind of functionality I'm looking for, but I can't figure out how to access the files on my local server with it. (I'm using Netscape 6.2 for Linux, Caldera 2.4, if that matters.) Installing a new product would be very difficult, as the admin has little more experience than I do. Security is a major concern; I shouldn't be able to upload files to directories I don't have "Add files..." permission for. Can anyone help? _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Have you tried going in as superuser? I think that when you log in as superuser, you can reset the password for your manager account.

Andreas: As you have experience in this area, perhaps you could give me one last enlightening jolt.

PHP in conjuction with Zope?
by Adam Haberlach 08 Jan '02

08 Jan '02

So here's the scoop. I'm very familiar with PHP, and I've got a site nearly ready to roll in PHP. I've even got a stupid system for letting the content guy update the pages remotely in PHP. Problem is, I've just discovered Zope. It does so much more then what I had originally wanted (a secure file repository) that I'm looking into using it for managing the whole site. Just the ability to manage the files via a web browser kicks ass. However, it seems that the PHP tags in the documents I imported with load_site.py blow up because Zope doesn't understand PHP and doesn't seem to pass things back to Apache that it can process. Any ideas? Should I quickly redevelop things in Zopeish, or is there a way to get Apache to apply the mod_php parser to the output of Zope via pcgi? -- Adam Haberlach | Who buys an eight-processor machine and then adam(a)newsnipple.com | watches 30 movies on it all at the same time? http://newsnipple.com | Beats me.

Re: [Zope] Using fpformat in python scrips; Was: Currency formatting from within Python Script
by complaw＠hal-pc.org 08 Jan '02

08 Jan '02

Forget what I just wrote in the last response, bad idea. Andreas was right. It is just better to do it the hard way. I wish there was a place in Zope where the administrator could select what set of standard python modules that would be supported by scripts. You know, something with two boxes: the set of unselected modules on the left, and the set of selected modules on the right, with arrow buttons going each way. Then you would have a "restart" button to restart Zope and 'voila,' instant gratification. Just a thought... Thanks for your help, everyone.

Using fpformat in python scrips; Was: Currency formatting from within Python Script
by complaw＠hal-pc.org 08 Jan '02

08 Jan '02

Thanks Steve, that was indeed very simple. However, I have stumbled across an seemingly strange (at first blush) issue. There is a module called fpformat that will allow for floating point formatting. fpfloat.py is /lib/python2.1/fpfloat.py It is available to Products, but not to python scripts. My question is, if I do what Andreas says and have a product called FP, with a python file called fpfloat.py and an appropriate __init__.py script, will that interfere with anything? Instead, what if I modified PythonScript.py and simply added "import fpfloat" (and restarted Zope)?
