I am trying to write a python script to update a Zcatalog object which I can then run automatically via Xron. Below is the method I am trying to call, I do not know how to set the parameters properly manage_catalogReindex(REQUEST, RESPONSE, URL1) Below is my attempt and the resultant errors context.myCatalog.manage_catalogReindex(context.REQUEST, context.RESPONSE, context.myFolder.absolute_url) return "completed" myCatalog = ZCatalog object, myFolder = the folder in which the catalog object is saved I receive the following error Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: RESPONSE <pre onclick="this.firstChild.data=this.lastChild.data"> §</pre> Rhian Williams ZIT IB Securities ------------------------------------ DLZ 2 01.57.0440 Mainzer Landstr. 153 60327 Frankfurt ------------------------------------ Tel: +49 69 136 48319 Fax:+49 69 136 42540

html_quote, quoting accents
by Jean-Francois.Doyon＠CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca 02 May '03

02 May '03

Hello, I have french content on my site, which means accents and other high-bit type characters. For the first time a user actually ran into the problem of the characters coming out wrong on his screen, so now I have to fix it :P I tried using html_quote without success, and also using the &dtml-Title; type syntax (Which apparently is auto-quoted) but in both cases my accents are still coming out in raw latin-1 instead of something like é ... Of course in the case of the metadata, I don't want to html encode the characters since technically it's not HTML just yet :) Help ?

Crashing zope. Any hints?
by Charlie Reiman 02 May '03

02 May '03

One of my testing zopes is crashing with a SEGV fault. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to start isolating or fixing this? The requests before the failure are pretty innocuous and I have several zopes with similar setups that aren't exhibiting this behavior. This machine is also in our development environment and is not exposed to real world traffic and abuse. This zope has several products installed: DCOracle2 PortableHole TinyTablePlus exUserFolder LocalFS SetTag ZSyncer Of these, DCOracle2 and exUserFolder are hacked but I trust them as I've been using my hacked version for ages. LocalFS is the newest product on the server. I'm a bit stumped on where to start since python shouldn't be throwing segvs anyway. Zope 2.6.1, Python 2.1.3, Solaris on Intel.

PATH_INFO available?
by martin f krafft 02 May '03

02 May '03

i'd like to realise the following: http://server.url/people/krafft should call the DTML or ZPT script at /people and pass it the value krafft. in a CGI, i could do this with PATH_INFO. in Zope, the only way I can imagine is place a custom standard_error_template into /people which then does the magic, but this is an ugly hack. http://server.url/people?user=krafft is not really acceptable... thanks. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck keyserver problems? http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/keyserver.html get my key here: http://madduck.net/me/gpg/publickey the reason that every major university maintains a department of mathematicsis is that it's cheaper than institutionalizing all those people.

Using metal macros in a Python script
by Gilles Lenfant 02 May '03

02 May '03

Hi, I'm actually making a form which widgets list and types are built dynamically. The basic idea is to use ZPT macros from a script to build the content of the form. I found the way to get ZPT macros in Pyhton scripts... macro = some_template.macros['some_macro'] But I'm stuck hacking deeper into the metal logic. I need now a way to execute these macros, feed them with variables (here, options, foo, bar...) and fill the slots. Has any of you some hints or examples to achieve this? Many thanks in advance. --Gilles

CatalogAware

create Login/Logout functionality
by Andreas Pakulat 02 May '03

02 May '03

Hi, I would like to have a login Link on the top of my page, but I don't know how I can login a user. I have searched through the help, but didn't find a method that causes the MessageBox, that appears if I go to a /manage Url, to appear. And I also want the users to get logged of again. I know that I can write a dtml/zpt page and call a script with values from a form, and then in the script set the Authenticated User if he exists in the User Folder, but I don't see how to verify the password. Also I really would like to have it with the messagebox and not a separate form to fill in. Andreas -- Wer nicht immer weiser wird, der ist nicht einmal weise. -- Jean Paul

making a static snapshot
by martin f krafft 02 May '03

02 May '03

i wonder if there are ways to create a static snapshot of a Zope site. standard mirroring tools exist, sure, but due to acquisition, one object can potentially have one million URLs, so standard mirroring won't work. has anyone else thought about this? thanks. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck keyserver problems? http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/keyserver.html get my key here: http://madduck.net/me/gpg/publickey eleventh law of acoustics: in a minimum-phase system there is an inextricable link between frequency response, phase response and transient response, as they are all merely transforms of one another. this combined with minimalization of open-loop errors in output amplifiers and correct compensation for non-linear passive crossover network loading can lead to a significant decrease in system resolution lost. however, of course, this all means jack when you listen to pink floyd.

Very handy, and up-to-date with the Zope you're using, which is an important factor.

Zope and RedHat 9
by Michel ALBUISSON 02 May '03

02 May '03

I recently upgraded my server to RedHat 9. I discovered that Zope was running badly : no answer after very few queries, nothing in the logs. The server looks like sleeping deeply, but not dead. I tried a full re-install from sources (Python 3.1.3 + Zope 2.6.1), same result. I moved to an other fresh RH 9 box, idem. With a freh RH 8 config, all is running fine. What is so different with RH 9 ? -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Michel ALBUISSON @ @ CENERG Ecole des Mines de Paris @ mmmmmmm aaa @ BP 207 Rue Claude Daunesse @ m m m a a @ F-06904 Sophia Antipolis cedex @ m m mmaaaaa@ @ Tel.
