Graphical visualistaion of possible Zope installations
by Børge Kjeldstad 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hei, recently I posted a question about the Best possible Zope installation. I received a lot of interesting answers. Out of them I read that the best possible Zope installation was dependent on, amongst other things, system requirements and user preferences. Within these dependencies there were quite a few options and a complex picture of choices. This made me think about how it would be to have a graphical presentation of the various options and choices. As my background is ship design and naval architecture rather than computer science (I often wish it was the other way around :) ), I have come across some good graphical visualizations for speed and power ranges of ship engines. These show pretty well what engine you should choose if you need a specific power and speed. Now I wonder if it would be possible, and maybe beneficial, to have something similar for Zope? These would then incorporate things like average and peak load, storage management, security and so on. To give some idea of the concept, I include here the link to one of Wärtsilä Diesels publications: http://www.wartsila.com/english/pdf/Marine/mps2003.pdf Wärtsilä Diesel is a main international ship engine supplier. Browsing through this, in my opinion quite good, publication, will hopefully show some of the benefits of such graphical visualization. If there is any problem with this link; use for instance google to search for Wärtsilä Diesel, choose Wärtsilä Frontpage, choose Marine, choose Publications, choose Marine Power Systems Cheers Børge Kjeldstad

Session
by Dennis Allison 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

I have a collection of session objects, each corresponding to an active users, each stored away in a session data container which is, itself, stored away in a transience object (aka temp_folder). For system monitoring purposes I want a privileged user to be able to look at the session data objects. The documentation (Zope Book, 2_6 Ed) is silent on this question. A first attempt at looking inside a session data container failed on security even at the highest privilege level. I'm assuming that access is only allowed from External Methods and Procducts, but thought I'd ask the group before reading the code and experimenting. -d

Zope -- where is the order of initialization documented
by Dennis Allison 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

I think I know how things are initialized, but I thought I'd verify my understanding by reading the documentation. I couldn't find anything about initialization execution order in the documents even though I am sure I read it somewhere. It's a question of where to put monkey patches for system code... A review of the archives didn't reveal much. If I want to change the behavior of, say, User.py by monkey patching, where's the right place to store them so they get executed in the right part of the initialization sequence?

Re: [Zope] feed ZSQL "select" to a multiple selection property

Thanks but what I need is the opposite. I what the result of this: select field1 from table order by field1 be the posible values of a property of type "multiple selection" of an object.
