dollars-and-cents display fails
by Greg Fischer 15 May '05

15 May '05

Hi all, I just moved my zope app from 2.7.3 to 2.7.6, plus the mysql db from 5.0.0 to 5.0.4. After moving everything, I noticed all of my decimal fields that will no longer display their values in DTML unless I remove the dollars-and-cents fmt option. I tried all kinds of things in mysql thinking that was it because I knew there have been some major changes in that, but I couldnt find anything there. I tested a query from the mysql connection test, and it retrieves the values fine. Then I noticed, if I remove the fmt="dollars-and-cents", it would work. Any thoughts on why this is? Is it a security option on the folder or other items? I could just remove all the formatting, but I'd rather not. Thanks for any help! -- Greg Fischer 1st Byte Solutions http://www.1stbyte.com

Re: [Zope] URL rewriting (VHM and browser Id manager)
by Victor Kolisinski 14 May '05

Dear Dieter I am relativy new in the Zope community , so my firt goal was to check am I doing something wrong in Zope setup or in my code. Regarding debuging , I am also using the pdb debuging tool and for me it's works well. I don't have enough time for now to correct bugs in Zope but this bug is also related to bug "BASE Tag is generated without session information" described at http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/885. Both bugs are related to session machinery without cookies , so in my case I can't using session data at all. Also my suggestion to Zope developers is that "Browser ID manager" should rewrite URL only if cookies are disabled on client side. Thank very much for your effort. --- Dieter Maurer <dieter(a)handshake.de> wrote: > Victor Kolisinski wrote at 2005-5-13 10:31 -0700: > > ... > >URL is generated with _ZopeId but when request come > to > > > >ZServer VHM mapping doesnt works correct.

[ANN] TextIndexNG 3.0.0 final released
by Andreas Jung 14 May '05

14 May '05

I am pleased to announce the final release of TextIndexNG V 3.0.0. TextIndexNG V 3 is a complete new implementation based on Zope 3 technologies and can be used both in Zope 2.8 or 2.7 (with Five) or in Zope 3. What's new? - multi-field indexing and query support - multi-lingual support - configurable converters (through ZCML) - new indexing API (allowing you to hook your custom content types with TextIndexNG through Zope 3 adapters). Requirements: - Zope 2.8 or Zope 2.7 (+ Five) or Zope 3 (Zope 3 has nothing like catalogs yet) TextIndexNG V3 will *not* run with bare Zope 2.7 installations without Five (and this will not be changed in the future). Download: http://sf.net/projects/textindexng For installation and documentation issues refer to doc/README.txt from the archive. It's basically the same procedure as with former versions except you *need* to recompile the extension modules. Windows binaries of the required extension modules are currently not available (any volunteers?). TextIndexNG V 3 is published under the GPL.

Re: [Zope] URL rewriting (VHM and browser Id manager)
by Victor Kolisinski 13 May '05

Hi Dieter I was wrong again URL is generated with _ZopeId but when request come to ZServer VHM mapping doesnt works correct. Maybe i don't know to make correct mapping BUT today I make simple example: VHM mapping = localhost:8080/test/VirtualHostRoot/ In test folder i have index_html page : <html> <head> </head> <body> This is Page Template <em tal:content="template/id">template id</em>. <a href="" tal:attributes="href here/absolute_url">Visit me again </a> </body> </html> In this simple example BIM URL rewriting doesn't works. It works only if VHM mapping is empty. Is it posible that VHM is buggy in this case. Thank's again P.S Do I need to start new thread with example like this. --- Victor Kolisinski <victor_kolisinski(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Thank you Dieter > > My virtual host mapping string was incorrect. > URL rewriting with VHM and BIM now works. > > Victor > > --- Dieter Maurer <dieter(a)handshake.de> wrote: > > Victor Kolisinski wrote at 2005-5-12 07:13 -0700: > > >My zope application needs support for sessions > > without > > >cookies, > > >so url rewriting based on Browser Id manager is > > used. > > >However when Virtual Host Monster is included in > > >environment browser manager doesn't rewrite URL. > > > > That's surprising. > > > > Maybe a conflict for the > > "__before_publishing_traverse__" hook > > used by both features (such that VHM discards the > > information > > previously set by the BIM). > > > > In principle, the "BeforeTraverse" dispatcher > (code > > in "ZPublisher.BeforeTraverse") has a > > "priority" feature to control such conflicts. > > But, probably it is not used. > > > > -- > > Dieter > > > > > > Discover Yahoo! > Stay in touch with email, IM, photo sharing and > more.

com error w/ zope
by Robert Hill 13 May '05

13 May '05

I've got a content type that allows for Microsoft Word docs as an input for one of the fields. When you view this content, it transforms the doc into html. Right now, we're in the middle of heavy data entry and occassionally the following error will pop up: com_error: (-2147418111, 'Call was rejected by callee.', None, None) After I get this error, anytime I try to open content of this type I get the following error: AttributeError: Property 'Word.Application.Visible' can not be set. The short-term fix is easy, I just have to close the open "winword.exe" task on the server. But this has started to pop up more frequently, and I want to solve the cause the problem. Any ideas? Thanks. Rob

Refcounts, ZODB Cache and memory leaks?
by Dylan Jay 13 May '05

13 May '05

Hi, I'm trying to track down some memory leaks using LeakFinder. I get some custom objects with refcounts that keep going up on use. When I patch them using leakfinder I get no results which should be correct as they should be loaded from the ZODB rather than created. The problem is, why won't they go away after GC or clearing the ZODB cache? If anyone has experience with finding these kind of rouge references I'd really appreciate any tips.

ZODB caching issue
by David Chandek-Stark 13 May '05

13 May '05

Setup: Zope 2.7.0 Python 2.3.3 Linux2 CMF 1.4.4 Problem Area: ZPT which contains a call to a ZPT macro The ZPT macro gets data from a parsed RSS feed Now using CMFSin 0.6.1 Previously used RDFSummary 2.4 Symptom: When a new item is added to the RSS feed (b/c a news item was published), my ZPT displays the RSS data inconsistently with each browser refresh -- sometimes the new item appears, sometimes not. At first I thought this was a problem with the RDFSummary product, but I have the same issue with CMFSin. Finally, I at least discovered something that "fixes" the problem: flushing the ZODB cache. Obviously, I don't want to flush the ZODB cache every time my news feed is updated. Is this a known problem that has been resolved in later versions of Zope 2.7/CMF? Since it's not technically an error, I don't have a traceback. Thanks for any help, David
