sergio, try to keep to the list - you'll get more help ;-) On Wed, May 07, 2003 at 09:19:21AM -0400, Cueto, Sergio wrote: > Can I use SQL2000 as the database in zope?

You can access any database from Zope - if you want to store information in tables. You can access several different external relational databases from one zope. But the Zope Object Database (ZODB) is actually one the great features of Zope - you can just store objects without needing to convert from objects to rows. Most commonly people use the ZODB for storing templates, logic, etc and then connect to an external RDBMS to work with existing or tabular data. Zope makes this easy. If you really really want to use an RDBMS to store the actual ZODB, you can search for AdaptableStorage or DirectoryStorage, but that's quite advanced stuff and you'd need a good reason to do it. What are you actually trying to do? F.

Re: Transfer directory from old Zope version to new Zope version.

I personally had some problems when trying to do this. For example if you have ZClasses that inherit from ObjectManager. I adviced you to make a backup of your Data.fs first and then try to overwrite the Data.fs of the new zope. If this doesn't work, see some possible issues that I found here: http://www.zope.org/Members/jmeile/upgradingZope If you have other problem not mentioned here, then search the archives.

Zope sizing and Scalability
by Andrew Howe 07 May '03

07 May '03

I am looking for some information regarding sizing of the Zope database its scalability, how big it can grow without performance issues beginning to impact on it etc. I have read the documentation in the manual regarding how to set up a number of servers but it does not give any indication as to how big a zope installation can be. I am after qualified numbers if anyone has any. Hope someone can help. Andrew

structured-text unordered list is rendered wrong in zpt
by Max M 07 May '03

07 May '03

I am rendering some structured text in a page template. The text looks like this: test_text: ####################################### Some paragraph - This is a list item - This is a second list item - This is a third list item A closing paragraph ####################################### And it generates the following html. ####################################### Some paragraph <ul> <li>This is a list item</li> <li>This is a second list item</li> <li>This is a third list item</li> </ul> A closing paragraph ####################################### The problem is the superfluous element around every list item. It makes the list item appear on another line than the bullet :-s Does anybody know the problem is here? The tal used to render the text is here. ####################################### <div tal:define="sfmt modules/Products/PythonScripts/standard/special_formats; sttxt nocall:sfmt/structured-text" tal:omit-tag=""> test_text </div> ####################################### regards Max M

Changes to dictionary disappear
by Glen Ecklund 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hi. I thought this was working, but now it has turned against me. I'm losing the changes I make to a dictionary. I have created a stand-alone script to demonstrate the problem: ------------------------------------------------------------ ## Script (Python) "test3" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace= ##bind script=script ##bind subpath=traverse_subpath ##parameters= ##title= ## testdict = {} try: print 'AA1' dict_len = len(container.testdict) print 'AA2' except: print 'Creating new testdict' try: print 'BB1' textdict = {} print 'BB2' container.manage_addProperty(id='testdict', value=testdict, \ type='dictionary', REQUEST=None) print 'BB3' dict_len = len(container.testdict) print 'BB4' except: raise print 'len=', dict_len print 'testdict=', container.testdict container.testdict[dict_len] = dict_len dict_len = len(container.testdict) container.testdict[dict_len] = dict_len dict_len = len(container.testdict) print 'len=', dict_len print 'testdict=', container.testdict return printed ------------------------------------------------------------ When I run the script, sometimes it updates the dictionary properly ( adding two objects to the dictionary), but more often, it appears to have added to the dictionary, but the changes are lost the next time I run the script. So, just now it added to the dictionary once, increasing the starting length from 0 to 2, but every time I run it since then the starting length is always 2, so I get the same output, as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------ AA1 AA2 len= 2 testdict= {1: 1, 0: 0} len= 4 testdict= {3: 3, 2: 2, 1: 1, 0: 0} ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Glen Ecklund The Geo Group 6 Odana Court Madison, WI 53719 USA glen(a)TheGeoGroup.com +1 608 230 1000

Re: [Zope-CMF] index_html acquisition
by Troy Farrell 07 May '03

07 May '03

Off the top of my head and completely untested, I would change my __init__() function do to something like this: def __init__(self,...): """Initialize my content""" # do stuff here ... del(self.index_html) ... # do more stuff here Obviously, I wouldn't try this in production, and I'm no python supergenious, but there has to be a way to do this...unless the python interpreter chases down attributes by looking at parent classes instead of merely copying the attributes to the child classes... Hmmm this could be more problematic than I thought. Give it a shot. Give us a shout. We'll figure it out.
