CMF import issue
by Talha Haroon Attar 08 Jan '03

08 Jan '03

Hi I imported a CMF site into my zope installation from another zope installation. I have the 2.6 version while this site was installed on 2.5.1 version. Plone extensions are used in the site as well. Although my import was successfull I could not import a lof of objects including ones under portal_skins/Images and many others. Also the site does not seem to function on my installation. Is there something I should know of here? Appreciate your reply

Problem with big Data.fs in Zope(2.5.1/Python-2.1.3) and large file support on linux
by Sven Rudolph 08 Jan '03

08 Jan '03

Hello I have a problem with a big Data.fs in Zope(2.5.1/Python-2.1.3) and large file support on linux. I tried to recompile Python with the following steps: export CC='gcc -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' rm config.cache ./configure --prefix=/export/home/www/medizin/local2 --with-large-file-support --with-thread --with-threads --with-lfs --with-large-file (it's a privat installation of the user "medizin", not system wide) make clean make make install On our test server (Debian 3.0 Woody) everything works fine, and "test_largefile.py" says: <quote> create large file via seek (may be sparse file) ... 2500000001L =?= 2500000001L ... yes check file size with os.fstat check file size with os.stat 2500000001L =?= 2500000001L ... yes play around with seek() and read() with the built largefile 0L =?= 0 ... yes '\x00' =?= '\x00' ... yes 1L =?= 1 ... yes 0L =?= 0 ... yes 0L =?= 0 ... yes 42L =?= 42 ... yes 42L =?= 42 ... yes 84L =?= 84 ... yes 84L =?= 84 ... yes 2500000001L =?= 2500000001L ... yes 2499999991L =?= 2499999991L ... yes 0L =?= 0 ... yes 2500000000L =?= 2500000000L ... yes 'a' =?= 'a' ... yes play around with os.lseek() with the built largefile 0L =?= 0 ... yes 42L =?= 42 ... yes 84L =?= 84 ... yes 84L =?= 84 ... yes 2500000001L =?= 2500000001L ... yes 2499999991L =?= 2499999991L ... yes 0L =?= 0 ... yes 2500000000L =?= 2500000000L ... yes 'a' =?= 'a' ... yes @test exists: 0 </quote> This seems to be OK. But the same procedure on our live server (RedHat 7.3 Valhalla) says: ... make install => make: *** [libinstall] Error 1 And "test_largefile.py" says: <quote> Traceback (most recent call last): File "test_largefile.py", line 22, in ? raise test_support.TestSkipped, \ test_support.TestSkipped: platform does not have largefile support </quote> The first thing I thought about was that I can not call "make install" while Zope (or any python process) is still running. So I stopped Zope and tried "make install" again, but with the same error message. Note that the old Python version (2.1.3 without large file support) was compiled by me on the same computer (RH 7.3), with no problems. Can anybody help me? Any hints?

Hi, everybody! Is anyone can help me? Problem: I give access to the first page (login page) of my site to everyone (anonymous user). Than, he is entering username and password (the same as Zope's username and password) on this page. Can I change his roles (from anonymous to which one has in Zope) without standard login dialog ? (If can, how?) Many thanks, Alexander Klimovich

Which Cache?!
by Bo M. Maryniuck 08 Jan '03

08 Jan '03

Hello. Which cache Zope use?.. I have made a typical syntax error in my some ZopeProduct. Then I went to Control_Panel/ProductManagement and icon of my product was broken. Then I went into that icon to get a Traceback, fixed my Product, restarted Zope and... Control_Panel/ProductManagement my icon STILL broken with STILL the same Traceback. Hmm... But I've fixed and it works very well. O.K., I've clicked on View/Preferences/Cache on my Mozilla browser, cleared all the cache and went to Control_Panel/ProductManagement. Surprise! Icon still broken, same Traceback, Product works. <NUTS/>. I've closed my Mozilla and open a Konqueror which I use one at month. I went to Control_Panel/ProductManagement and... guess what I see there! -- Regards, Bogdan > How long is the largest chunk of code Larry Wall has written in Python? It was 23 lines longer than the largest chunk of code Guido has actually written in Perl. The difference is that Larry's code worked, and Guido's still doesn't. (found on comp.lang.python)

set id
by Mark McEahern 08 Jan '03

08 Jan '03

I have a CMF portal type Product. It looks like I must explicitly set the id like so during __init__(); e.g., class MyPortalType(PortalContent, DefaultDublinCoreImpl): ... def __init__(self, id, ...): self.id = id ... _setObject(), typically invoked in the factory method, doesn't seem to set the object's id. Also, SimpleItem suggests the use of getId() to access the id, that direct access to id is deprecated. Is this so? Thanks, // mark -

Zope Product and database help: ver. 2.5.1
by sameer chaudhry 08 Jan '03

08 Jan '03

Two issues: 1) I have a product that I wrote in zope which is just a big hash. It loads in company names as keys, and from a text file, adds ticker items as each value for a particular key. Now I only want this huge dictionary to load once, which is when zope starts up (possibly in a global space), as I need one copy of it and I need that one copy to update every x number of minutes. Currently, I think, each user that views this product, loads his own copy of the hash, which makes it slow and a memory hog. I only want a single copy available to all users, and the data refresh time to be determined by the system or the user. 2) In the same python product, I am trying to access an ODBC database connection. I have tried 2 ways of accessing it, and both have failed. First I created a Z SQL method in the same directory as the Product, and tried to access that Z SQL method. My product subclasses SimpleItem, and so I tried self.getattr(name_of_Z_SQL_meth)(). The Z SQL method doesn't take any arguments, so that should have worked. Then I tried import SQL from Zope: from Products.ZSQLMethods.SQL import SQL, and running the SQL method directly. It always complains about the formation of the connection ID which I cannot seem to get right. Help on either of these issues would be greatly appreciated. I am using: Zope 2.5.1 with Python 2.1.3 on win 2k professional. -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Meet Singles http://corp.mail.com/lavalife

Is there a Zope based file manager product?
by Farzad FARID 08 Jan '03

08 Jan '03

Hi, I'd like to know if there is a web-based file manager built on top of Zope or CMF. Ideally, I'd like to integrate a file manager in a CMF or Plone site in order to browse and modify the filesystem through the web. As a bonus, the product should be able to handle multiple users and their rights on Unix correctly. Thanks -- Farzad FARID <farzy(a)farzy.org> http://www.farzy.org/
