ZPT parser changes from 2.6.x to 2.7.3 ?
by Marco Bizzarri 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hi all. The following page was accepted under Zope 2.6.x, but it is not anymore accepted under Zope 2.7.3. <html> <head> <title tal:content="template/title">The title</title> </head> <body> <script><![CDATA[ if (gecko) document.write('<tr><td><table>'); ]]></script> <script><![CDATA[ if (gecko) document.write('</table></td></tr>'); ]]> </script> </body> </html> The problem, of course, is in the </table> inside the second <script> section. The error is: Compilation failed TAL.HTMLTALParser.NestingError: Open tags <html>, <body>, <script> do not match close tag </table>, at line 10, column 36 therefore, the parse is interpreting the inside of the <script> tag as normal tags instead of simple content of the script. (Please note that it is not an option, at the moment, to put the <tr><td><table> inside one single <script> tag, because there is other content between the two scripts). Any suggestions? Regards Marco

ldapfilter and script
by Samuele Giovanni Tonon 16 Nov '04

hi to all, i have ZLDAPConnection on zope 2.7. I'm trying to make some script to access to data on LDAP, however i'm stuck on some strange problem. This is the script from Products.PythonScripts.standard import html_quote request = container.REQUEST RESPONSE = request.RESPONSE entries = container.uidfilter(uid='*') for e in entries: print e return printed this is the ldapfilter i call (uidfilter): uid=<dtml-var name=uid> If i run the ldapfilter, it returns me the data i want to view and if i run the python scrypt i get <Entry instance at 1153315904; uid=Administrator,ou=people,dc=sferacarta,dc=com> <Entry instance at 1153315856; uid=nobody,ou=people,dc=sferacarta,dc=com> ecc. ecc. however if try to print e.objectIds() or e.objectValues() i get only void list and i can't access to attribute of "e" any hint ? Thanks Samuele

[half-newbie] products refactoring and existing site
by bruno modulix 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hi Writing my first Zope site, I dumbly put each of my componants in a separate product, instead of grouping related classes in a same product. I end up with something like 9 separate products each one with a single class when I could - and should - have 3 products with 2 to 4 classes in each. So I'd like to refactor all this. But we already have most of the content (hundreds of objects...) online, and can't afford to start filling this content all over again. So, is there a known way to refactor the code (ie : regrouping classes from products A, B and C into product A) without losing all existing content ?

As far as read-only-database goes it doesn't see to work, so I have submitted it to the Zope Collector. I found that setting read-only to true in the filestorage group in the zodb_db declaration did do the job. A warning to anybody that want to use this is that some third-party products do write to the ZODB at start up which will halt the start up if the read-only flag is set. (For instance PlacelessTranslationService and Formulator.) //Johan <zodb_db main> # Main FileStorage database <filestorage> path $INSTANCE/var/Data.fs read-only True </filestorage> mount-point / </zodb_db>

Re: [Zope] OrderedFolder broken (by old-style OrderedFolder?)

Because the product >is no longer installed, you get this error when Zope tries >to load the object. It then becomes a "broken" object. > >Find such broken instances and delete them. > Ok... What I have done is to re-install the old OrderedFolder Product. Now, in the dropdown list, I see "Folder (Ordered)" -- the new style -- and also "Ordered Folder" -- the old one. With the old one installed I found 3 Ordered Folder instances. Still, when I add a Folder (Ordered) it does not have ordering support... So, if I change those 3 to regular folders, and delete the OrderedFolder Product, will that allow the Folder (Ordered) to start working? Or is that unrelated and there is just something else wrong with my Folder (Ordered)?

read-only-database

Does the read-only-database in zope.conf really work and what does it really do? Does it turn of all writing to the filesystem or just the main Data.fs? Regards, Johan

That last solution was a bit long-winded. Try this python script (put theText in the parameter list): lines = string.split(theText, '\n') for line in lines: (subject, email) = string.split(line, ',') print 'Subject=%s, Email=%s' % (subject, email) return printed and call it like this: <dtml-var expr="myList(_.getitem('file_name', 1))"> Cliff Brokken, Allen P. wrote: > I am working on a very simple "feedback" type form for my site.

Maintaining Zope => packing
by Serge Renfer 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hi all, I'm managing several zope instances on a Solaris machine, and I'd like to pack them through crontab, as it is showed in the zope book. http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/ MaintainingZope.stx There are several root users on this machine, and I don't want to have a crontab visible (with password in clear) by others with manager rights. To connect to a zope instance, for security reason, I would have liked to have a user that could do only packing of the base. But there is no "security tab" in the in the database page of the control panel. So I cannot make a local role at this level. Is there another way to give a user only this right (packing the database) or should I renonce! Thank you in advance for your answer(s)! serge

Reading File Contents
by Brokken, Allen P. 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

I am working on a very simple "feedback" type form for my site. I realize this can be achieved with the collector or other intermediately complex means, but for this site I need something very light weight and simple. All I need is a table of "Subject","Email address" to be read from a file rather than hiding the values in the form. Basically the method that renders the form reads the file and picks up the subjects to make a drop down, then when submitted it matches the subject to the appropriate email address. If it's not a valid subject it drops the request, and only sends email to the right person. If this were perl on a traditional web server I would have done this in like 60 seconds. As it is I can't figure out how to read in the data from the text file so it goes into an array properly. I was hoping it might be as simple as doing file_name subject1,email1(a)host.com subject2,email2(a)host.com subject3,email3(a)host2.com method ... Form header and fields <select> <dtml-call file_name> <dtml-in file_name> <dtml-let keytosplit=sequence-item feedback_name="_.string.split(keytosplit, ',')[0]" email_address="_.string.split(keytosplit, ',')[1]"> <option value="<dtml-var feedback_name>"><dtml-var feedback_name></select> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> However it treats file_name as a string and won't let me <dtml-in> over that. Is there a way to easily convert the contents of the file to a line by line input for a <dtml-in >statement, or some other quick and dirty way to do this? I've come up with some more complex ways with adding a header character to each line to split on, with some form of loop through it all, but turning the other file into a set for <dtml-let> seems to be the most straight forward way to do it. I've come up with half a dozen other ways to handle this that include MySQL, or other products, but I really would like it to be as simple as possible with as few external dependencies as possible. --- Allen Brokken IAT Services - ISAM University of Missouri brokkena(a)missouri.edu

Hi, >I'm not sure what else to suggest; you seem to be the only one >experiencing this problem. Maybe reinstall Zope a different way? How >did you install Zope? From source? Yes, originally from source. Then I moved everything to another server eunning the same OS (RH FC2). I re-compiled some stuff. Everything seemed to work a few days ago. I can try re-installing from scratch I guess, in the worse case. That leads to my question: what's the best way to move a Zope installation from one server to another? Thx, Paul
