probable python version problem
by Ted holden 18 Oct '03

18 Oct '03

Does anybody have the latest thinking on the following error message: ImportError: /home/bear/Zope-2.6.2-linux2-x86/lib/python/Products/instantindex/_iindexpymodule.so: undefined symbol: PyType_IsSubtype This occurs when trying to load a .so file created with swig, which works well enough from a normal python/pygtk application. >From what I gather doing searches on the problem, it would probably go away if I were to recompile the .so file against python 2.1, but that's sort of like heading in the wrong direction. I'd appreciate hearing from anybody with a better solution.

Well, it seems the red sox fans are still mighty pissed off. Or the site is just damn slow. It's taking forever to load. I'd be interested in knowing what they've done right/wrong, etc. Anyone with more info on this?

error on dtml method, insert on postgres
by CY 18 Oct '03

18 Oct '03

One possible error: <input type="hidden" name="vfechacompra" value=20031012> I think this is should be written as value="20031012". My favorite debug technique: 1. change: <form action="equipoTest" method="post"> 2. equipoTest method: <dtml-var REQUEST> Explanation: The <dtml-var REQUEST> will display all your form variables and its values where you can visually compare for typo errors. This is very helpful. Good luck. > Hi folk > > When try to insert on a postgres table show me the follow error > > Zope Error > > Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. > > Error Type: _pg.error > Error Value: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "p" at character 137 > > <dtml-method> > <dtml-var std_header> > <h2>Datos del equipo</h2> > <p> > <form action="equipoAddDisplay" method="post"> > <input type="hidden" name="vidtipo" value="2"> > <input type="hidden" name="vidsubzona" value="6"> > <input type="hidden" name="vidmarca" value="2"> > <input type="hidden" name="vserial" value="A2345X"> > <input type="hidden" name="vserialuc" value="UC2003"> > <input type="hidden" name="vidproveedor" value="2"> > <input type="hidden" name="vprecio" value="3500000"> > <input type="hidden" name="vfechacompra" value=20031012> > <input type="hidden" name="vdescripcion" value="BORRAR"> > <br> > <input type="submit" value="submit"> > </form> > <dtml-var std_footer> > </dtml-method> > > the error occurs with the field vfechacompra, fechacompra is a date field on > postgres table. > > when test my sql-method on ZMI all is OK, but not with the dtml-method > > <sql-method> > <arguments> > vidtipo > vidsubzona > vidmarca > vserial > vserialuc > vidproveedor > vprecio > vfechacompra > vdescripcion > </arguments> > > insert into equipo > (idtipo, > idubicacion, > idmarca, > serial, > serialuc, > idproveedor, > precio, > fechacompra, > descripcion) > values (<dtml-sqlvar vidtipo type="int">, > <dtml-sqlvar vidsubzona type="int">, > <dtml-sqlvar vidmarca type="int">, > <dtml-sqlvar vserial type="string">, > <dtml-sqlvar vserialuc type="string">, > <dtml-sqlvar vidproveedor type="int">, > <dtml-sqlvar vprecio type="nb">, > <dtml-sqlvar vfechacompra type="string">, > <dtml-sqlvar vdescripcion type="string">) > </sql-method>

Found an answer: <http://www.zope.org/Members/spinwing/ZSQL_Results> http://www.zope.org/Members/spinwing/ZSQL_Results This is super handy if you need to do any processing, filtering, or whatever on your resultset from a Z-SQL call before displaying your data in dtml or zpt templates.

RE: [Zope] DTML Document ids

Are you putting this in a DTML Document, or a DTML Method? AFAIK, that won't work unless it's in a method.

Now, can you please elaborate a bit (or point me to some doc) on why I should use the getId() method instead of the id attribute? It happens that I have exactly this bad habit and I have quite a lot of code where I use id attributes :-( Thank for the reply, __peppo _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Zope Evaluation
by Gabriela LÃ³pez Ruiz 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

Hi all, I'm evaluating Zope platform and Zope products, just in a general way. My main goal is to find out if I can use Zope as a simple platform where we could develop and delivery web-based applications. The principal characteristics that a platform like what we are looking for has to have are: licenses (it has to be open source), if it has a rich set of products, it it has a great users community, if there is many available documentation (in Internet, in bookstores, etc), the possibility of integration with external databases, if it has a security model (and how strong is that model), if it gives the possibility of avoiding the interaction of a web master in all deployments, how many languages does it support and which ones, recommendations concerning the base product to be taken, which of these options is better and why: CMF + ZOPE, ZOPE only, CMF + PLONE+ ZOPE, if its easy installing new products and developing applications, about Clear Case integration, and what about stability/performance I know that this is a very large list of characteristics, but I will be very thankful if you can give me your opinions as you have been working in this platform more time than I have. So if you can give me your opinion or can send me an URL or some articles where I could find the description of some of this characteristics, it would be better. Regards, Gabriela. _________________________________________________________________ Charla con tus amigos en línea mediante MSN Messenger: http://messenger.yupimsn.com/

can i ask a question about a possible zope book?
by Chester, Pam [ELS] 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

Hi-- Would it be possible to send the following question to subscribers to your list? I'm an acquisitions editor at Digital Press, and our foreign rights office just asked me if I'd be interested in publishing the English version of a recent German book on Zope (Zope--Content Management and Beyond). It's a collection of articles edited by Stephan Richter. If you feel it might be worthwhile to publish such a book, would you be willing to email me at p.chester(a)elsevier.com? If I'm going to persuade my boss that there's a market for this project, I'd need people to answer a couple of questions. (If this is not an appropriate query for your list, please just let me know.) Thanks. Pam Chester Digital Press, an Imprint of Elsevier Burlington, MA

boston.com: The demo gods strike again
by Wade Leftwich 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

I was talking with a friend about options for replacing a crufty old CMS, written in .asp, that manages 80 websites. I said, "Hey, let's look at boston.com, the new Zope showpiece!" But, at 9 o'clock this morning, boston.com was painfully slow to load. Is this a regular thing? Next time, of course I will check the site *before* I open my mouth. -- Wade Leftwich Ithaca, NY

RE: [Zope] add LocalFS in python

[Dennis Allison] > Argh! Right you are -- the damn'd gratutious Microscoft change to the > directory delimiter. I don't do Windows in general--and when > I do I use > r'c:\this\is\a\test' which does the right thing. Yes, that's what I do too. For those who are not that familiar with Python, the "r" prefix indicates that the string is "raw" - characters have their normal meaning, so that a backslash is not special. Using os.path.join would the preferred way to build up paths, except that it is restricted in Python Scripts. Cheers, Tom P
