Fwd: Fwd: [Zope] Can Zope Do....?

I just checked the downloads page and it says X3 is stable. At least that's what I get when I read "3.0.0-final" released November 06. Is this final release stable but not feature complete? I thought final means final. On Thu, 2 Dec 2004 15:14:04 +1100, Andrew Milton <akm(a)theinternet.com.au> wrote: > +-------[ Alan Snyder ]---------------------- > | Holy moly!

Fwd: [Zope] Can Zope Do....?
by Alan Snyder 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

Holy moly! I'm installing zope onto my debian laptop right now. I can't wait to play with it. My only question is should I attempt to get the latest and greatest zope (X3, I believe) and latest and greatest python (2.4), or stick with the standard apt-get stuff. Thanks again - I'm sure I'll have more questions as I delve deeper and discover more stuff.

Ok, no worries, I'll keep using 2.3.4.

But the unit tests do pass. Can you do the following and retry: - Edit your zope.conf to show 'debug-mode on' - Run Zope in the foreground, and not as root, e.g. '$ bin/zopectl fg' from your instance home. See if you get any useful output.

Zope 2.7.3 database pack fails
by Dennis Allison 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

Well, the ol' Data.fs got bigger (now 3.9GB) and so it's time to cut it back down to size. Unfortunately, just clicking "pack" on the control panel does not seem to do the job. This Data.fs has a history (2.5.1b3, 2.6, and now 2.7.3). The question is, how to pack it.

Sharing images between different sites
by John Poltorak 01 Dec '04

Is there any way to set up an images folder which can be shared between several sites under one zope instance? If so how would I reference them if they were all in the /images folder? -- John

Using ZGDChart with a python script as data method
by Josh 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

Hi, I am attempting to use data gathered by a python script to create a chart with zgdchart. I am using zope 2.6.4, zgdchart 0.6.4 on windows 2000. Within a zgdchart object, if I use a dtml method as the data method with code such as: <dtml-return "(('syd','melb','bris', 'adel', 'perth'),(5, 7, 6, 4, 6),(5, 10, 5, 1, 6))"> the chart works fine. When I try to use a python script as the data method, with code such as: return (('syd','melb','bris', 'adel', 'perth'),(5, 7, 6, 4, 6),(5, 10, 5, 1, 6)) the chart fails to be produced. Can anyone provide any tips? Thanks, Josh
