Q: Zope to generate static web pages?
by Michael Scharf 30 Nov '02

30 Nov '02

Is there any script to use Zope to generate static webpages? If my ISP does not support Zope and I use zope to create and manage my web, I want to have a script that updates my static web from a given zope web... Michael

by Michael Scharf 30 Nov '02

Is there a non web based (python) interface to zope? Are there any non web based interfaces to Zope (wxPython, TKinter, win32, delphi....) Or asked differently: is it possible to write a non webbase GUI frontend to Zope? Michael

RE: [Zope] My Zope is leaking memory ... Still no luck.

Jo, Really? Wow, you'd think such a required behavior would be documented ... Unless I missed it somewhere. I do indeed use quite a bit of Python Scripts ... Problem is many of them are part of the CMF ... I really don't want to have to go through every bit of python script I have to do this, and would much prefer finding the root cause! Maybe I'll go digging for documented bugs and possible patches concerning Ptyhon Scripts ...

Do you use PythonScripts (ZODB-based that is, not Products)? We had the same effect as the one you describe and solved it at least partially by setting every object used inside our PythonScripts to None before returning from the script. So if you have code along the lines of "something=context.restrictedTraverse('whatever')" or "baz=foo.objectValues(bar)" (or anything like that) try setting "something=baz=None" before the script ends. BTW: LeakFinder is a great tool, very useful in my experience and I deeply regret that it is no longer working with 2.6. Be prepared to restart your Zope after using it though.

Zope-2.6 acquisition problem
by Thierry Florac 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

Hi, I'm building a web site using Zope-2.6. I created several new "folder like" products with new properties and methods, which hinerit from SimpleItem, PropertyManager and ObjectManager. My problem is simple : 1. I put an image in a folder, with name "logo" => OK 2. I put a different image in a subfolder, with name "toto" => OK 3. I rename the second image to "logo" => ERROR: when downloading the image, I get the image from the parent folder !!! 4. I rename the second image to "toto" => OK, I retrieve the original image... (and it's the same problem if I directly create an image called "logo" in the subfolder). I think that this is in complete contradiction with Zope acquisition principles, so I suppose that I missed something... Any idea will be greatly welcome... Thanks, Thierry -- Linux every day, keeps Dr Watson away... http://gpc.sourceforge.net -- http://www.ulthar.net

double authentification problem
by Elena Schulz 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

Hi, in the below folder-structure I've got the following problem: a user links to Methode1 where he does his login with role:Voter. Methode1 contains only <dtml-var Methode3>. The below form in Methode3 calls Methode2 on submit. The problem: after submission of the form there is 2nd login-prompt for the already authentificated user. How can I get rid of that? All the Methods do have Manager-roles already. (I would like to cut them to Voter or Owner anyway) Can anybody help me with that? -- many thanks for your replies, Elena form-code: <form action="Methode2" method="post"> <input class="formButton" type="button" value="schließen" name="Fenster schließen" onclick="window.close()" />  <input class="formButton" type="button" value="zurück" name="zurück" onclick="history.back()" />  <input class="formButton" type="submit" name="submit" value="Methode2"> </form> folder-structure: FolderA | |_FolderB:viewPermission->roles: Manager&Voter | |_acl_users-Folder: ..... | |_DTML Methode1:proxy=Manager | |_DTML Methode2:proxy=Manager | |_DTML Methode3:proxy=Manager

zope server problem
by Hamzat Kamal 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

Hi, I am running zope server 2.5.1, python 2.1.3. on RedHat Linux. Meanwhile I have a site presently running on another host which I intend to move on my zope server. Each time I redirect traffics from my host to my zope server for a test, I discovered that it always want to run the whole of the traffics on one instance which eventualy bring it down. I have the ffg spec on the system running the zope server: RAM : 512 Mb Bandwith : 785 Kb Processor : 1000Mhz Any idea for achiving the goal will be appreciated. Thanks. ===== Hamzat kamaldeen Ishola Dnet Systems Limited. 223 Ikorodu Road, Lagos.

RE: [Zope] RE: Logging out users with cookie crumbler
by Brett Haydon 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

I just needed a URL users could logout by (which is the logout method of cookie crumbler). so.. cookie_authentication/logout It's just a shame it wasn't actually written in the documentation because it would only take one line to make it explicitly clear. I'm guessing the other way to do it in python is to expireCookie but don't need to try that yet.

Greetings, I'm getting 401's when I try to debug my Zope site using pdb.

post-publishing hook
by Carlo Giomini 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

Dear all, I need a sort of post-publishing hook (so to say). I need Zope to call a function of mine as the very last action of publishing a request, i.e. after having built the response (and sent it to the browser possibly), but before starting publishing a new request. My Zope server is running as a single-threaded app. Does Zope support this any way? Thanks for helping, cheers, Carlo.
