Problems with Standalone Skins v0.2 by Chris McDonough
by Petter Holmström 24 May '04

24 May '04

Hello, Are there anyone in this list that have used Standalone Skins v0.2 by Chris McDonough? I can't get it to work properly in my product (all objects are created in code, I don't use the ZSI at all): 1. All my Directory Views are cleared everytime Zope restarts and I have to delete my product object and re-add it in order to get it to work again. 2. Only the most recent call to addSkinSelection gets saved, i.e. the following code causes only the 'custom' layer to be added to the skin 'default': tool.addSkinSelection('default', 'style') tool.addSkinSelection('default', 'master') tool.addSkinSelection('default', 'ui') tool.addSkinSelection('default', 'custom', make_default=1) Any ideas? Thanks in advance, -Petter-

Architectural decisions
by Ben Last (Zope) 24 May '04

24 May '04

Dear Zope list I'm approaching, on one particular project, a point of architectural decision. The site is one of those potentially annoying constructions that needs to present several different "faces" on the same content, depending on a set of conditions, in this case: a) from which partner organisation a user is referred, or by which partner site the pages are framed b) whether they're on a web browser or a mobile device c) in what locale (i.e., country) the user is located The engineering of all this, in terms of referrers, browser-ids, etc, is all well-understood, and not a problem. The decision is more in the architecture of the page templates. The question I'm asking myself is, more or less, which of these approaches do I take? 1) Use monolithic page templates, one per actual page. To add a new partner, device or locale, copy existing templates and modify them. Simpler templates, but more of them. 2) Use a set of generic templates and share them by acquisition. More complex templates, but fewer of them. In the latter case, there are some interesting techniques that I've discovered, but also limitations. Chief amongst the latter is that there seems to be no way to use a variable as part of a ZPT path. For example, if I have, in each partner subfolder, a template called "environment" which contains statements like: <span tal:define="global partner HugeInternationalCorporation"/> ...and is referred to by generic scripts with: <span tal:replace="here/environment | default"/> ...then I can provide each template with a cue to the context in which it's being invoked. However, I can see no way to do stuff like: <h2 tal:content="here/$partner | default">Default Header"</h2> So, what I'm really interested in are any tips, experiences or general good advice that can better help me evaluate the pros and cons of approaches 1) and 2). Regards ben

[Ann] ManagableIndex 0.4
by Dieter Maurer 23 May '04

23 May '04

ManagableIndex is a flexible indexing framework. It comes with managable field, keyword and efficient range indexes. Via the management interface, you can for example configure * how to combine values to be indexed from various attributes * how to normalize terms, e.g. for case insensitive searches * to ignore stop terms to keep your indexes small * to convert terms into an efficient form This is how ManagableIndex supports efficient "DateTime" and "DateIndexes" * how to handle acquisition and calling of values New in version 0.4: * efficient 'integer', 'DateTime' and 'Date' indexes * efficient "RangeIndex"es (I expect them to be considerably more efficient than "DateRangeIndex"es) * optimization for "AdvancedQuery"s descending sorting More information and download: <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope#ManagableIndex> Note: This may be the last version with its current open source unrestricted use license. I consider whether I will expressly forbid the use of my software by institutions of the European Union (Councel of Ministers, Commission, Parliament, ...). This is in protest against a recent decision of the Councel to make software patentable. This decision ignores a Parliament vote that pleaded to keep logic (algorithms, business rules) un-patentable. -- Dieter
