Er... is something missing from the Zope 2.7.6 tgz on zope.org? http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.7.6/Zope-2.7.6-final.tgz Can someone else confirm that there might be a wee problem?

Sending mail with attachments via Python
by Kirk Strauser 03 May '05

03 May '05

I'm currently trying to replace a bit of DTML with a Python script. Here's what I currently have: <dtml-sendmail mailhost="outboundserver"> To: <dtml-var recipientemail> From: <dtml-var senderemail> Subject: <dtml-var subject> <dtml-mime type="text/plain" encode="7bit"> Attention <dtml-var recipientname>: This file was sent to you from the Foo Company web site. The sender included this message: <dtml-var emailbody> <dtml-boundary type="application/octet-stream" disposition="attachment" encode="base64" filename_expr="filename"><dtml-var expr="publicstore.download(filename=filename,password=password,skipctypeheader=1)"></dtml-mime> </dtml-sendmail> Basically, it fetches a file from a public download directory, encodes it as a MIME attachment, and sends the works to the specified recipient. Now, the documentation on sending a normal text email is easy enough to find, but from Googling around for more advanced docs it seems like I'm the only person to ever want to do this. Are there any examples for this sort of thing lying around that I somehow managed not to find? Many thanks, -- Kirk Strauser The Day Companies

ZODB.POSException.ReadConflictError
by egroup＠mac.com 03 May '05

03 May '05

I'm getting a ZODB.POSException.ReadConflictError on my Plone 2.0.5 site (Zope 2.7.3, Python 2.3.4 on Mac OS X Server 10.3.9). It happens most frequently when members try to register on my site (about 10% of the time), but occasionally happens when other pages are accessed (no pattern). Alternatively, a blank page is returned. No messages appear in the Zope or Plone error log. I've reproduced the error messages below, all of which resulted from a member registration. I received 7 error reports were from the past two days, with two types of errors. Of the two types of errors, the "oid 0x07e8, class BTrees.IOBTree.IOBucket" error was seen 5 times and the "oid 0x08, class Products.Transience.Transience.Length2" error was seen twice. Is there something wrong with my installation or is there something wrong with my data.fs file? How do I correct either?

Problem with AdManager
by David 03 May '05

03 May '05

Hi Setup is: Zope 2.7.5, Python 2.3.5 (UNIX/gcc 2.95) (No ZEO, no CMF, no Plone!) We are trying to use the AdManager ZClass, a great product doing exactly what we needed. Testing this on the developer's machine, we had no problems. But having now done a "small scale" stress testing (requesting about 20 pages per second) on the server, some pages suddenly throw errors of the following kind (see traceback below). The errors are not all 100% like this one, but similar enough, I guess. The errors occur on a ratio of about 1:4 (so 4 successful pages, then one error). [I know this is not really scientific or would stand in a statistical analysis, but just to give you an idea.] We could also not find any connection between the errors and any of the 5 banners we're using for testing. (The product rotates which banner is displayed.) -- from the traceback -- ZODB.POSException.ReadConflictError Sorry, a site error occurred. Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 175, in publish_module_standard Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 149, in publish Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 149, in publish Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 149, in publish Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 139, in publish Module Zope.App.startup, line 163, in zpublisher_exception_hook Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 101, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object Module OFS.DTMLMethod, line 144, in __call__ Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 474, in __call__ Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Var, line 214, in render Module OFS.DTMLMethod, line 137, in __call__ Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 474, in __call__ Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Var, line 214, in render Module OFS.DTMLMethod, line 137, in __call__ <DTMLMethod instance at 91a9b90> URL: /advert_chooser/manage_main Physical Path:/advert_chooser Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 474, in __call__ Module DocumentTemplate.DT_With, line 76, in render Module OFS.DTMLMethod, line 137, in __call__ <DTMLMethod instance at 9281cb0> URL: /site/advertisements/show_banner/manage_main Physical Path:/site/advertisements/show_banner Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 474, in __call__ Module DocumentTemplate.DT_With, line 76, in render Module DocumentTemplate.DT_In, line 703, in renderwob Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Util, line 192, in eval __traceback_info__: date_end Module ZODB.Connection, line 599, in setstate Module ZODB.Connection, line 628, in _is_invalidated ReadConflictError: database read conflict error (oid 0x3244, class *ilYYN6piu7CmJucspzx0gA==.AdBanner) -- end traceback -- Any idea what is happening here?? This is beyond my understanding of Zope/ZODB and as it only happens occasionally, it does not seem to be a straight bug. Any suggestions on what I could try would be very welcomed. (If you are using a Banner Ad Manager that is a proper product, not a ZClass, that runs on a plain Zope, let me know.) Thanks in advance, DR

[ANN] TextIndexNG 3.0 beta 1 released
by Andreas Jung 03 May '05

03 May '05

I am pleased to announce the release of TextIndexNG V 3 beta 1. 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 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. TextIndexNG V 3 is published under the GPL.

bypass authentication
by u1207440 03 May '05

03 May '05

I made a signup form for my website and I want to check if the username already exists in acl_users folder without having to log in as administrator. How do I do that, what and where do I have to modify my permission for so I can use acl_users.getUser(REQUEST.name) without having to login first?? (Zope tells me that I don't have permission to use the getUser method)

ZSQLRelay Problem
by Evrim Ozcelik 02 May '05

02 May '05

Hi, My zope server is running on fedore core3. I want to connect to ms sql server running on windows xp platform using FreeTDS, SQLRelay and ZSqlRelayDA. My sqlrelay.conf can be seen below: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE instances SYSTEM "sqlrelay.dtd"> <instances> <instance id="mssql" port="9000" socket="/tmp/examplesocket" dbase="freetds" connections="1" maxconnections="15" maxqueuelength="5" growby="1" ttl="60" endofsession="commit" sessiontimeout="600" runasuser="nobody" runasgroup="nobody" cursors="5" authtier="listener" handoff="reconnect" debug="none"> <users> <user user="evrim" password="123456"/> </users> <connections> <connection connectionid="db1" string="sybase=/usr/local/etc/freetds.conf;user=evrim;password=123456;server=MyServer2k;db=LKSDB;" metric="1"/> </connections> </instance> </instances> As you seen there is only 1 listener socket created. I can execute the first sql command successfully but i can't execute the second command. The sqlrelay error shown in the log file: Client Library error: severity(78) layer(0) origin(0) number(51) Error: Attempt to initiate a new SQL Server operation with results pending. I think the connection does not end after the execution. When all the listener sockets used the system becomes useless. Then i restart the sqlrelay service in order to clear the sockets. What must i do ? The listener socket must be empty after the execution.

Hello the list, In Zope.conf ( ZOPE 2.7.5-final ) I changed "rest-input-encoding" and "rest-output-encoding" to send "UTF-8" and then restarted the server. But in my webbrowser, the files are always received in "windows-1252". Please, what can I do to receive UTF-8 from ZOPE 2.7.5-final? Best regards.
