ZPT list is dead... zpt nav question
by Norbert Ray-Goldman 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

so I am posting this here. I would like my zpt to list only folders in a director - essentially filtering out all other meta_type(s)... can you tell me where I am going wrong with the filtering here ? ################################################ <html> <head> <title tal:content="template/title">The title</title> </head> <body> <span> <a href="HOME_URL" tal:attributes="href container/absolute_url" tal:content="container/title_or_id">TITLE OR ID</a> <span tal:repeat="item here/objectValues"> <a href="" tal:attributes="href item/absolute_url" tal:condition="python:item.meta_type=='Folder'">URL</a> </span> </span> </body> </html>

DirectoryStorage on Windows and MacOSX HFS+
by Johan Carlsson 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

Is there anyone who have tried DirectoryStorage on Windows NTFS or MacOSX HFS+? I'm going to try both, got a compiled readdir.dll module if anybody's intressed in tring it on Windows. (I'm not sure if it's necessary in the Windows release, the documentation isn't clear about that.)

understanding Zope's memory usage
by Lucas Hofman 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

I am running a server with a handfull of plone intranet sites. The server has 4GB memory, but is now starting to page. What I notice is that the different Plone instances vary widely in there memory usage. For one site every process uses 400Mb, and there are 6 processes running! That is 2.4 Gbyte for one site! I see there is one deamon process that is small, and 6 processes that are big. If we call the six biggies a-f: deamon start a a starts b b starts c d e f c d e f are probably zserver threads, but what do process a and b? And why do the all have the same size and RSS? What are the alternatives to limit the memory consumption? Anybody who can enlighten me on this? Thanks, Lucas

Re: newbie : select tag value setting problem
by prabuddha ray 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

Thanks for the suggestion, I added the 'value district/district_code' now only. 'selected' is working fine . if i remove the 'value' thing its working fine. i also tried this ; option tal:attributes="selected python:test(distname==district.district_name, 'selected',''); value district/district_code" tal:content="district/district_name"> </option> as for the 'distname' test value() the def is: <body tal:define="distname request/form/districtname|nothing; So guess since value tag is not set so 'distname' is not being set. the select tag is : <select name="districtname" onchange="reloadPage()"> plz suggest.

Session without cookies.
by Fernando Lujan 12 Apr '05

12 Apr '05

Hi everyone, Is there possible to use a Session control without cookies? I already changed the browser_id_manager and unchecked the cookies and checked the "Automatically Encode Zope-Generated URLs With A Browser Id" option. But it's just stops working. :( In addition, where could I get the Examples? The Zope book has a mention of it, but I couldn't find the URL to download the Examples. Thanks! Fernando Lujan
