Presentation of CMF Topic.
by burley＠zonnet.nl 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

I'm using Zope's CMF (not Plone) and would like to present Topic search results in a flexilble way: i.e. as a tree structure depending on the order of search criteria used. Is this possible, and how can it be achieved? (I've used dtml-tree in the past, but, if possible, how does it integrate/interface nicely with the CMF interface?)

zpt and hrefs
by Pete Taylor 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi all, Sorry for the newbie question, but I've scoured TFM for 2.6 and 2.7 (as much of the new book as is there), and I can't figure out how exactly to do the following. basically i'm attempting to have an href link access a python script with a particular set of parameters, have the python script call a zsql method (the only way i've found to make zpt and zsql work together when there are particular "WHERE" bits), and then return the relevant pieces back out to another zpt using the "tal:replace="options/passed_params" construct. i've tried using tal:attribute instead of href="" explicitly, but that doesn't work any better. it may just be that i'm approaching this the wrong way, in which case i'd be glad to try it another way... normal href... <code> <a href="somescript?identifier=4">link me</a> </code> but assume identifier is built dynamically, and is held in a zope repeat/replace loop like... <code> <table tal:repeat="item sequence"> <tr><td><a href="somescript?identifier=item/ret_val">link me</a></td></tr> </table> </code> obviously it doesn't work... it tries to pass the literal string "item/ret_val" to identifier. but I would imagine there's got to be a way to make that value dynamic. it works in dtml, but i'd really rather use zpt and python scripts if at all possible. is there a better way to do this, or am I just missing something obvious?

Hats off to Zope
by David H 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Zope List, I just wanted to thank the developers of Zope for coming up with an amazing product. I sometimes admire things in life and Zope is one of them. I also want to say that there is a population of Zope "helpers" that is truly impressive. Seems like the best Zope developers take time to answer almost every question. Thanks for listening, David

DirectoryStorage?
by Shane Graber 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

I was wondering if I could get some feedback on DirectoryStorage as compared to FilesystemStorage, which ships with the default Zope product. From what I've read on the website (http://dirstorage.sourceforge.net/) it claims to be a much more robust and fault tolerant way of storing data compared to FilesystemStorage (Data.fs). I hadn't given DirectoryStorage much thought until I saw that Enfold Systems (http://www.enfoldsystems.com/Products/Server/Features) released their Enfold Enterprise Server as default using DirectoryStorage as opposed to FilesystemStorage. Based on this, I wanted to get some feedback from the Zope community about this storage option, it's scalability, it's use in a high volume production setting, it's stability, scalability, robustness, etc. And if the Enfold Systems people are reading this, I'd be interested in their reasons behind their decision to go this route as I'm sure some thought was put into why to go this way as opposed to what ships default with Zope. Our group will be going into production with 2-3 Zope/Plone sites in the very near future and robustness, security, and scalability are key factors in our production environment. What are the community's thoughts on DirectoryStorage as compared to FilesystemStorage? Thanks in advance, Shane -- http://liquid.homelinux.org/

Style guide for ZPT?
by Paul Winkler 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hiya, I've been asked to come up with some formal coding standards for my employer's Zope projects. For Python code, I just use the relevant PEPs (maybe with a few addendums), but I'm wondering if anything similar exists for ZPTs so I don't have to completely reinvent the wheel. Validating as XHTML is a good first step, but that can still leave you with random indentation, absurdly long TALES statements, ugly loop idioms, use of "tal:replace" vs. use of macros, whether or not "tal:" and "metal:" attributes should be on the same line as vanilla XHTML attributes, etc. The first of those is easy to fix with Tidy, but the others are necessarily zope-specific. I seem to recall there was a ZPT style guide for Plone at some point, but it's resisting all my best efforts at googling - I get hints that something existed but has vanished from the net. For example: http://www.tchezope.org/traducoes/lp/ingles/7 "Temporarily discontinued, out of date" If nothing turns up, I'll probably just write my own based on what I like and publish it somewhere, maybe on zopewiki.org. (But not till after my impending vacation...) -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

Zope Shopping Cart Opinions?
by hpinson＠indepthl.com 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi all. Does anyone have direct production experience with ZWarehouse? I would like to hear some opinions, especially from active users. My first impression, after install and about 2 hours of configuration is that: it has lots of potential, is well thought out, and has lots of bugs (as of 03/28/05). Your experiences? Alternatives?

User changing their own password via External Method with Cookie Crumbler
by Dave Cinege 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

After I installed Cookie Crumbler my external method for a user to change their own password will no longer work. I realize I've got a chicken and egg issue with the cookie needing to be updated at the same time as the change...or something. : P How do I fix this ? I've been using code that looks something like this: def UserEditFunc (self): reqd = dict(self.REQUEST) self.acl_users.userFolderEditUser(reqd['username'],reqd['password'],'','')
