RE: [Zope] win32 extensions
by Meilicke, Scott 12 Dec '02

What platform? I installed the ActiveState version of python on windows before the win32 extensions, and then told zope to use that version of python instead of the one it shipped with.

Has anyone succeeded in installing the python win32 extensions, and how?

Site Access Vs VHM
by Pablo Ziliani 12 Dec '02

12 Dec '02

I'm trying to serve multiple sites from a single Zope 2.6.0 instance, so I need some way to proxy from Apache to Zope (linux). I've been using a mod_proxy to rewrite urls to i.e.: http://www.domain.com:8080/clients/clientX, and I placed a SiteRoot object on each root folder. This model seems to work fine if I don't have any Zcatalog or (specially dangerous in zope 2.6.0) Xron object: if so, CatalogAware classes will use the fake absolute_url to recatalog themselves, raising exceptions like this one: Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 98, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object Module OFS.DTMLMethod, line 126, in __call__ Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 474, in __call__ Module DocumentTemplate.DT_With, line 76, in render Module DocumentTemplate.DT_In, line 604, in renderwb Module DocumentTemplate.DT_With, line 61, in render Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Util, line 201, in eval __traceback_info__: data_record_id_ Module <string>, line 2, in f Module Products.ZCatalog.ZCatalog, line 549, in getobject Module OFS.Traversable, line 120, in unrestrictedTraverse __traceback_info__: (['1023215715', 'aereos'], 'app') Module OFS.Application, line 108, in __bobo_traverse__ So I now wonder if there's any chance to get the same effect by using a VHM instead. Furthermore, can anybody tell me the difference or benefits of using one or the other? TIA, Pablo Ziliani

RE: [Zope] Square Roots... Please help sqrt(x)

<dtml-var expr="_.math.sqrt(x)"> -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Richard Shebora Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 1:04 PM Cc: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Square Roots... Please help sqrt(x) To anyone who may be able to help, I need to calculate the distance between two zip codes and all is working except for the square root part. I have been trying to use <dtml-var expr="_.sqrt(x)"> to get the square root of x. But it does not work and reports an attribute error. I have used the _.int(x) with no problem and dis notice the sqrt() is in the Math Library. Is there additional syntax to access this function? I searched and googled and found everything but an example in DTML of how to use sqrt().

Re: Published methods and docstrings
by Paul Tiemann 12 Dec '02

12 Dec '02

Hi Andrew, > I'm a newcomer to Zope, and while mostly it seems attractive... I hope this little clarification will help to make Zope more wholly attractive ;) > there's one thing that to me seems downright wrong: the use of > docstrings to differentiate between published and private (wrt > the web) objects (methods in particular). I'm only going to try to help based on my limited knowledge. If I'm incorrect, somebody please help me to understand this better as well-- *) Public visibility requires a docstring. but... *) A docstring alone doesn't result in public visibility. *) What really makes a thing "private" is to prefix its name with an underscore. Example: def public_hello(self,REQUEST=None): """This method returns Hello World, you can call me TTW" return "Hello World" def _private_hello(self,REQUEST=None): """Even though I have a docstring, you can't call me TTW""" return "Hello World" -- Paul

Zope products install
by H. De Backer 12 Dec '02

12 Dec '02

To install products , you need acces to the Control Panel and import directory. My Zope hosting company doesn't give access to these functions. (for security reasons I guess) On my home computer I also installed Zope ; could I install a product ( Zubb for example) , go to where the files have been installed and then copy the content of these files on the Zope hosting company server ? Would this work ? ( As you have probably already understood, I am quite new in Zope :-) Thanks for your answer. Henry

I have seen this answer on this list before...just can't remember how it was stated so you could search the archives for it. I think Dieter posted it... IIRC, it was a simple line of code to add and the query itself was returned...not the results. Probably a way to get both. I remember trying it and it worked...

Begin by adding a Z Search Interface from the ZMI, add both the search and report forms. That will generate an interface to the zSQL method, in either zpt or dtml, which you can then modify to suit your needs.
