[Ann] ManagableIndex 0.5
by Dieter Maurer 30 May '04

30 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 0.5: * "RangeIndex" now efficiently supports improper ranges, i.e. ranges with at least one unrestricted boundary, * a "RangeIndex" can now be used as a (partial) plugin replacement for CMF's "effective" and "expires" indexes. I expect that such a replacement will speed up most CMF searches. 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

TAL and Zope Security
by patrick sullivan 30 May '04

30 May '04

I am having some problems comprehending a security issue with zope and page templates. I have a folder protected by exUserFolder, and that folder contains another folder where my site is sitting. I have a page macro that all other pages use, so i just need to fill in slots of content throughtout the site. i want to make a page available to Anonymous users. But this page template contains calls to z sql methods, the page macro, some images, etc etc etc. I changed my Security permissions on this page tempalte for Anon to view and access object contents but i am still getting the authentication popup. That didn't work. So I gave anonymous everything in the security tab, and still no joy. Do I have to allow for Anon on everything that this template uses to fill its slot? Like every image, every z sql method, the page macros, and everything else? Thanks, Patrick __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

ZPT and standard_error_message
by David Chandek-Stark 30 May '04

30 May '04

I can override standard_error_message with a custom ZPT file; however, I don't seem to have access to the error data. What am I missing? Surely there must be a way to do this. Zope 2.7/linux2 Python 2.3.2 CMF 1.4.4 Thanks, David -- David Chandek-Stark Web Applications Developer Duke University - Perkins Library (919) 660-5859 dc(a)duke.edu

29 May '04

Hi all, I was wondering if there is a lite version of zope or something like it. My idea would be to somehow install it on an ipaq/linux and use it to learn zpt etc. Is such a thing possible? Thanks Aaron

Is Zope a good tool for this application?
by Mark Randall 28 May '04

28 May '04

[I apologize if this is a repost. I tried once and it didn't seem to work] I'm new to the list and hope this is an appropriate place to post a basic question. Our business has a need to prototype a portal application. A friend mentioned that Zope might be worth investigating as a possible platform. I'm hoping that the readers of this list can offer some guidance. OVERVIEW This portal will be a public media sharing site, not too dissimilar from the old MP3.com site (or kind of like the current garageband.com site). Public users need to be able to create an account. Each user with an account will get an automatically created, somewhat customizable 'homepage' within the site. They will be able to self- publish their media, add it to one of the site's directory categories for browsing, and add a searchable description. Each homepage will have a list of that user's media that other users can browse/play, a description of the user, a mini-blog for the user (with comments). Each piece of media will have a way for other users to rate it (the average rating being displayed), report it for abuse, and add a 'review' to it. Reviews will have a "Was this review helpful" option (like Amazon). The main page of the site will have a browsable category directory, search function, as well as an automatically generated "top ten" list, a "most recently added" list, a "higest rated" list, "featured" list etc. Each category will have its own sub-page with the same items on it. This site will start as a low volume prototype (a few hundred users) but we hope it will need to eventually scale to tens of thousands. Your opinions please: - Is Zope a good platform for this type of application? - Are there any sites like this built on Zope? - How far can Zope (and existing Zope addons) get us toward this goal? (halfway? more?) - Are there any Zope addons that we should particularly look at? - Any caveats or concerns we should be aware of? Thanks for any help you can provide. --- Mark
