Knowledge Base type of product
by Hung Jung Lu 07 Jul '02

07 Jul '02

Hi, I am looking for some product that can store a "knowledge database". Open-source or commercial (the cheaper, the better), Zope or otherwise. I simply need to store text files, and make them searchable. I know that ZCatalog can kind of do the job, I used it a few years ago, but back then the search features were kind of limited (for instance, two-word search was hard to implement, like when searching for "correlation matrix": you don't want files that contain "correlation" and/or "matrix", you want files that contains the two words consecutively. Also, back then, ZCatalog did not have "and", "or" logical operators.) I don't know whether it's been improved recently. (I know search engine is no easy matter.) Ideally the product should allow some sort of failure report (when some user looks up for certain keywords and couldn't find anything), and also some basic statistics, so that a human editor could improve the hit scores, say, once a day or once a week. Anyway, I am looking for something that is not 100% automated: it would be great if some human editor assistance can be incorporated to make the knowledge database's output more reasonable. I'd appreciate any pointers. regards, Hung Jung __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo! Dial - First Month Free http://sbc.yahoo.com

Create subfolder at product creation
by Chad Nantais 07 Jul '02

07 Jul '02

I have a folderish Python product called "Customer". When an instance of this product is created, I want it to contain a folder called "Vehicles" which is a normal OFS.Folder that will contain Vehicle objects owned by the customer. If I create a manage_afterAdd method in the Customer class, what does it need to call to create a folder called "Vehicles"? Or, if the manage_afterAdd is not a good way to accomplish this, what is better? Thanks in advance.

XUF - authentication problem
by Sebastian Kors 07 Jul '02

07 Jul '02

Horrido, I've got a problem with exUserFolder 0.10.9 running on Zope 2.4.3. Authentication works fine, i get the right username with <dtml-var expr="_.SecurityGetUser().getUserName()">. But it only works in the index_html. When i am browsing to other sites in the same folder i am only an anonymous user. I've configured my Login Form in this way (how discribed in the docs): <form action="content/news" method="post"> <input type="text" size="10" name="__ac_name"> <br> <input type="password" size="10" name="__ac_password"> <br> <input type="submit" value="okay"> The cookie-based-authentication works fine (on other sites). Can somebody kick me in the right direction? Thanks a lot. Sebastian Kors "All your base are belong to us."

Hello! The company I was working for had been having financial problems and finally was sold to a new investor. I am not going to join the new company and now I am completely free. If someone wants to hire me as a telecommuter please look at my CV (http://phd.pp.ru/My/resume.html mirrored at http://phd.by.ru/My/resume.html and http://phd2.chat.ru/My/resume.html) Tomorrow I am starting to move the domain phd.pp.ru to another server. Hence during next few days you may experince problems contacting me. If your message about job offer, my programs, patches or such bounces - just wait a day or two and retry. After the move I will take a rest for a week or two. I will put all my subscriptions on hold, but I will check my personal mail at least every few days. Oleg. -- Oleg Broytmann http://phd.pp.ru/ phd(a)phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

Controlling base href
by VanL 07 Jul '02

07 Jul '02

Hello, I should have mentioned, I can't rely on setting my own base href in the index_html method, I have to rely on the container. I am aware of the section on controlling base href in the Zope Developers guide. It just doesn't work for what I'm doing. Thanks, VanL

RE: [Zope] sending SMS messages from Zope application

Its pretty easy just follow the instructions on their site . We don't have a Zope product for it." Smsdriver.com is expensive for a little amount of messages (at least 720 Euro's). So I'm still kooking for a better solution.
