Re: [Zope] STATISTIC] Is there a way to have statistic of a Zope

I'm a happy Analog user http://www.analog.cx, and I heartily recommend it. I wanted to see a quick summary of the last hits on my sites, so I wrote a little utiltity in python to take a tail of the Zope logfile, summarize and print out the information. Of course I kept thinking of new features, so now you can display the results in a terminal window and set it to update regularly, you can output the results as xml, etc., etc. I display the top 10 users of the site by number of hits, so if you chose to take the last ten million lines in your logfile (i.e., the whole thing), you would see how frequently each user has hit the site. You could easily modify the source to display all of the users, rather than just the top 10. You can find more detailed information at: http://www.zope.org/Members/howardhansen/logwatch Hope this helps Howard Hansen http://howard.editthispage.com ----- Original Message ----- > Subject: > site use ? > From: > To: =?US-ASCII?Q?Fr=8Ed= > Cc: zope(a)zope.org > Date: 13 Mar 2002 10:47:25 +0000 > > On Wed, 2002-03-13 at 10:18, =?US-ASCII?Q?Fr=8Ed=8Eric?= Lemaitre wrote: > > Hello, > > A have my Intranet Zope production site since few days (GREAT !!!). > > > > I would like to know if there is a way (without manualy analyse the > > access log) to know : > > - How many users have been authentified since the site is on-line ? > > - How many times a page has been seen ? > > - The top visited pages ? > > - Statistic of when, how much, etc.. users use the site ? > > > > In fact, is there a Zope functionnality to do something like that > > whithout using an other software (like Webtrend) ? > > No. You could try Analog or Webalizer as Free alternatives to > Webtrends. > > Seb

Hi, Does somebody has experience with modifying STX in such a way that it only effects some parts of the Zope Tree? ie. I'm looking for a way to make STX showing pictures (I managed that), but I want to make it so that all pictures have the same width and height (independend on the real height/width of the picture) and a link when clicked on the image so that the full image can be shown.... I've looked for all the information I could get, but unfortunately it looks like I miss some skills here. My question: is there somebody who can give me a direction, hint, .... etc? Thanks, Tom.

ProxyRequests
by Stephan Goeldi 13 Mar '02

13 Mar '02

There was a thread about ProxyRequests and the problem you get, if you enable them in httpd.conf (ProxyRequests On). In fact, a server can be used as a public Proxy server, if you enable this. I think, if this is really true, it is bad, that it is suggested in at least 2 Howto's on Zope.org: http://www.zope.org/Members/rbeer/caching http://www.zope.org/Members/Jace/apache-vhm Greetings Stephan --- Swiss Quality Zopehosting.ch --- http://www.zopehosting.ch web(a)goeldi.com Tel +41-61-7330555 Fax +41-61-7330556 _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

Zope server cant bind port 80
by Stanislav Marszalek 13 Mar '02

13 Mar '02

Hi, When starting Zope server on port 80 under user "zope", sever fails with message "fail to bind port 80 - dont have permissions." When running under user "root", it is ok. When trying start zope server on port 8080, everything is ok. So just cant run on port 80 because of permissions but why? Have anyone similar experience? Zope server 2.5.1b1 FreeBSD 4.4 Thanks, David Marko

Datefields (problem with ZPsycopg and "/"s in dates)
by Joel Burton 13 Mar '02

13 Mar '02

[ Tim -- Email to you bounces--might want to check your address. ] Not seeing the problem. Here's a small test case to make sure this isn't a version difference between us. Can you see if this works? # In psql: CREATE TABLE datetest(id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, thedate timestamp); [using date rather than timestamp works fine, too] INSERT INTO datetest (thedate) VALUES ('2001-04-01'); # ZSQL Statement "select" # no arguments or parameters SELECT id, thedate FROM datetest # Pyscript "pyscript" # one parameter: "thedate" m = thedate.Month() return "%s is the cruellest month" % m # dtml method "dtml" <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-in select> <dtml-var "pyscript(thedate)"> </dtml-in> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> View "dtml" and I get "April is the cruellest month" If this works, can you send me a .zexp of your ZSQLMethod, Python Script, and DTML Method, plus SQL DDL to create a table like yours?

One small idea: it's possible that "client" is a meaningful word to Zope.

Normally, dtml-raise would be used to raise an error manually if something bad happens, so, yes, it would often be used with dtml-if. However, you can use it yourself for debugging purposes, and it's quite useful like this.

Re: [Zope-Packagers] Re: Zope 2.5.0 RPMS was Re: [Zope] What causes the community to stall so often?

Hi guys, wasn't aware anyone was listening on this list, judging from the archives :-) Sorry I missed the zope@ thread, I don't subscribe anymore because the traffic level is (used to be?) a recipe for insanity. As Paul hinted at, I'm currently working on revamping the build, installation, and instance management processes for Zope 2.6, based on existing work. I have a vested interest in this because I build the OpenBSD package, which currently installs the software home into $PREFIX/lib/zope and includes a script to build an instance home for you. I want to expand on this. I don't know what your timetables are, but if you're in the process of rethinking this, wait till the weekend is past, I should have something by then. What I do come up with will most likely be able to be used with 2.4 and 2.5. and it'll mean you don't have to do it again for 2.6. :-)
