Zope number of threads
by Thierry Florac 24 Dec '02

24 Dec '02

Hi, I didn't found any answer to this probably simple question : what's the best way to define a "good" number of threads for Zope ? Is the default number defined in z2.py (4) the best for every situation, or does this number have to be increased when working with sites with a high volume of transactions ?? Thanks for any help...

Content Management
by Daryl Middleton 24 Dec '02

24 Dec '02

I need to be able to have many people collaborate on a project where they could send me text data delivered to a specific file that is assigned according to their geographic area. From that text file I will then utilize a python script to organize the text into XML for a book type publication. I am not sure if I should just collect the data in Zope, and then place it in Apache where scripts could manipulate the text for XML. I know that Python and Apache work very well for the XML conversion and XSLT. My main question is how would I design a form in Zope that would deliver the text file to that specific file listed above. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

24 Dec '02

Hello all, I'm tring to execute this script: lista = [] folder = container.indice2() #indice2 is a ZCatalog for file in folder: if not file.hasProperty('codice'): lista.append(file.id) attributes=getattr(folder, file) attributes.manage_addProperty('codice', 'inserted yet', 'string') return lista I borrowed the idea from the /Examples/GuestBook/addEntry script Zope prompts me for a user name and passwd, I type my usual account data (I'm the only user and I think I have full privileges) and BAM! Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access in this context Troubleshooting Suggestions * The URL may be incorrect. * The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect. * A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error. For more detailed information about the error, please refer to the HTML source for this page. If the error persists please contact the site maintainer. Thank you for your patience. I tried to give the script all the proxy roles I could I opened Control Panel/acl_users and gave manage property permission to managers and owners (I'm a manager user): NOTHING! Please: what's going on? Thanks anybody who will help me Bye Catonano

Windows webdav clients (Teamdrive, Webdrive), zope and dreamweaver
by Heimo Laukkanen 24 Dec '02

24 Dec '02

Hi all, I did some dancing over webdav with windows and found totally new problems and solved them too. I downloaded both latest teamdrive and webdrive to my windows laptop, and used them to access Zope ( 2.6.0 ) through webdav. In Zope I had created a PUT_factory, which maps files saved ending with .html, .htm, .HTML and .HTM to Zope Page template. As I was using teamdrive / xythos client with Dreamweaver ( 4.01 ) I noticed that if I opened a pagetemplate ( something.html ) through webdav and saved it again, the template got saved as a File - rather than a pagetemplate, as it was supposed. When I tried the same with other text-application, like textpad , similar did not happen - also it did not happen if I used Webdrive as a webdav client or Dreamweaver's own internal webdav-client. Looking at webdavlogger's log and access logs I noticed that there was something different how teamdrive and webdrive were implemented. Also we have to remember that Dreamweaver makes a strange temp-file dance, when saving a file. With Teamdrive Dreamweaver's tmp file was apparently moved / renamed to .html, while webdrive managed the same differently. So in the sense of how everything happened in Zope with teamdrive was: Create a temp file Something.tmp and do put Delete old real-file.html Rename / Move Something.tmp to real-file.html While this happened, the object that was created was a file - and not a pagetemplate. As soon as a realised this, it was easy to fix the PUT_factory to map also .tmp files to pagetemplate. Included is a PUT_factory for an example. Hope this helps others too.

Why not just have the script ask for their location from a dropdown list (let's assume it's US State, for example...), and have it submit to an External Method. This method could then simply... filename = "/my/data/directory/" + REQUEST['state'] file = open (filename, 'a') file.write[whatever] file.write[whatever] file.write[whatever] file.write[whatever] file.close() -----Original Message----- From: dmidd(a)chartermi.net [mailto:dmidd@chartermi.net] Sent: Tuesday, 24 December 2002 3:53 AM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Content Management I need to be able to have many people collaborate on a project where they could send me text data delivered to a specific file that is assigned according to their geographic area.
