Defensive Zope Development
by Dan Shafer 14 May '02

14 May '02

After my recent versioning fiasco, which I was able to solve with the help of the great folks on this list, it seemed to me that I need to re-think my one-instance-fits-all approach to Zope development. This was too scary. My entire Zope instance, complete with multiple virtual hosts I'm building and maintaining for clients, was inoperable for almost two days while I battled the problem. So what is the preferred/recommended best practice for Zope development? Do I: 1. Stay with versioning, backing up my Zope sites more often and living with rough edges (or my mistakes)? 2. Create a second Zope instance, perhaps on my local drive (Win2K) and only upload revised objects after proving them locally? 3. Use some other brilliant strategy I haven't thought of? I'm sure this is a recurring issue. It's probably been talked about on this list before, though I *did* search the archives and not find anything illuminating.

"To: undisclosed recipient;:" when sending mail through a script !!!
by Gilles Lenfant 14 May '02

14 May '02

Hi, My app sends mail through a python script like this... body = "blah blah body" title = "blah blah title" mh = container.mailhost_list()[0] mh.send(body, mto='me(a)somedomain.com', mfrom='mailmaster(a)somedomain.com', subject=title, encoding='quoted-printable') return 'OK' This works but the mail has not the excepted "to" header and shows... "To: undisclosed-recipients: ;" This is pretty unfair in the mail client. Did I miss something to have the "mto" parameter of the .send() method in the "To:" header of the mail ? Thanks in advance --Gilles

Upload Photo objects in a localFS
by William GARCIA 14 May '02

14 May '02

I have a local file system named images. I would like to write-in photo objects. When I write an Image object with <dtml-with images> <dtml-call "manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addImage(REQUEST['id_img'],file,'')"> </dtml-with> there is no problem, but when I try to write a Photo object with <dtml-with images> <dtml-call expr="manage_addProduct['Photo'].manage_addPhoto(id_img, '', file)"> </dtml-with> Zope generate the next error : Error Type: Bad Request Error Value: Cannot add objects of type 'Photo' to local directories.

Thanks in advance for the help or the ideas you can give to me. William.

Building SQL statements dynamically
by Tille, Andreas 14 May '02

14 May '02

Hello, I have to port a complex database application which has no fix SQL statements. The user builds the statement while interacting with some menus and after having done some selections a database query is builded depending from several options. Any hint how this can be performed using Zope? Kind regards Andreas.

Zope logging
by Adam Getchell 14 May '02

14 May '02

Hello all, Before I reinvent the wheel, is there a product that dynamically generates graphs of your zope site's logs and otherwise parses them for real-time display in Zope? For example, a pie chart of the address space visiting your website. Naturally, I'd want to be able to output/filter the site statistics (it seems to be straightforward to write a python script to do this though) Zope certainly has an embarrassment of riches when going through http://www.zope.org/Products, I just haven't seen (yet) the product to do this. I've seen logger, which writes to the log via DTML, and I'm looking over PIL from the Zope: Web Application Construction Kit. I'm just wondering if someone has scratched this particular itch, or knows where to start .... Thanks, *************************** * Adam Getchell AdamG(a)hrrm.ucdavis.edu * System Architect/Programmer (530) 752-1584 * Human Resources Information Systems http://www.hr.ucdavis.edu/ *************************** "Invincibility is in oneself, vulnerability in the opponent." -- Sun Tzu

Duplicating a Zope Instance
by Dan Shafer 14 May '02

14 May '02

I'm trying to figure out the best way to take an existing Zope instance on a remote server, which has a *lot* of virtual host stuff and quite a bit of product installed, and replicate it on a local Win2K box both for safety and to give me a local instance to experiment with. I copied down Data.fs and the related index file to my local Zope instance and fired up the local instance. Of course, I generated a huge number of errors. Not surprising. It became obvious I'd have to either copy down or reinstall locally all the products I've added to the remote Zope instance. But I'm not at all sure what pieces of the Zope install are essential, which will be automatically generated if not found (indexes?), or, frankly, much of anything else about this process.

Easy question, perhaps?
by Kevin Carlson 14 May '02

14 May '02

Hi, I know I've done this before, but I cannot remember how. I have a string property on a folder named 'docStorage' that holds the name "Storage". There is a folder named Storage off that is a subfolder. In other words: Root |-Test |-Storage In a Python script, I can refer to the folder object by using: folder=Test.Storage However, I want to be able to refer to it using the contents of the docStorage property. I have tried the following: folder=Test[Test.docStorage] folder=Test.getAttr(Test.DocStorage) and a few others to no avail. I get attribute errors on just about everything I try. Can someone help me out with the correct syntax? Thanks, Kevin
