I had this reported a couple of times (apparently randomly) from a site that I am involved in. It seems to happen in the generation of data for a report (which takes a fair length of time and does a lot of zodb accesses) -- This is with Zope 2.7. >From what I can tell from various searches this is one of those "it just happens sometimes" errors with no real fix. Is there a fix? If there is no fix is there anything that can be done?

Re: Squishdot installation problems, CVS problems
by Dennis Allison 06 Mar '06

The CVS access could have been a SourceForge problem. There is a Squishdot patch and several comments about 2.8.X problems on the site. I applied the patch and got a running site but as the patch author notes, the patch is a workaround and probably should be fixed in a different fashion. The patch (which seems to have worked is) is: --- lib/python/Products/Squishdot.bak/addSquishdotForm.dtml Fri Aug 18 00:47:57 2000 +++ lib/python/Products/Squishdot/addSquishdotForm.dtml Wed Sep 21 12:49:15 2005 @@ -40,12 +40,12 @@ Mail Host   </TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> -<dtml-if mailhost_list> +<dtml-if expr="superValues('Mail Host')"> <SELECT NAME="mailhost"> <OPTION VALUE="" SELECTED>  - <dtml-in mailhost_list> + <dtml-in expr="superValues('Mail Host')"> <OPTION VALUE="<dtml-var id html_quote>"><dtml-var title_or_id> - </dtml-in mailhost_list> + </dtml-in> </SELECT> <dtml-else> No Mail Host objects could be found. @@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ You will not be able to recieve email notification of postings until you create a Mail Host object that is acquirable by your Squishdot Site.

exuser older not working in 2.9.0
by John Huttley 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

HI, In a burst of enthusiasm, I trashed my zope 2.8 for windows and installed 2.9, with a new instance. I've reloaded ZStyleSheet and ZODBC, which have come up in the ZMI ok and exuserfolder, which doesn't. In 2.8, there were some minor issues with fcrypt which meant it came up with a broken box icon, initially. I've installed it in 2.9, fixed the issues and nothing comes up in the ZMI Running Zope in the console doesn't show any relevant messages. I'm at a loss as to how to debug this. Any help gratefully received. --john

RE: [Zope] catching BadRequest exceptions
by Palermo, Tom 05 Mar '06

05 Mar '06

I'm trying to catch when someone tries to create an object with the same Id as another object. I thought this was handled by checkValidId. It doesn't appear that this error is handled by standard_error_message. Whenever this error happens, the rror message is not skinned like the site I'm working on (ie. It's just some very basic html output). Thanks, Tom -----Original Message----- From: Dieter Maurer [mailto:dieter@handshake.de] Sent: Saturday, March 04, 2006 2:29 PM To: Palermo, Tom Cc: 'zope(a)zope.org' Subject: Re: [Zope] catching BadRequest exceptions Palermo, Tom wrote at 2006-3-3 13:56 -0500: > ... >It seems that BadRequest exceptions, like the ones thrown by >checkValidId() in OFS.ObjectManager (lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py), >are not handled by a standard_error_message. Some "BadRequest" exceptions are not handled by "standard_error_message" (a bug, please file a bug report). But, this is not the case for the one from "checkValidId". Affected are errors detected in "REQUEST.processInputs()". They are not handled by "standard_error_message" because they are detected too early -- before traversal has even begun. As a result, there is not yet any "standard_error_message" in the request context. These errors are usually type errors during conversion of request parameters called for by ":<type>" suffixes, e.g. "start:int=a" would cause such an error. The easy workaround is not to use such ZPublisher type conversions but perform the conversions yourself in your application code. -- Dieter

[ANN] TextIndexNG 3.1.7 released
by Andreas Jung 05 Mar '06

05 Mar '06

I am pleased to announce the release of TextIndexNG V 3.1.7. TextIndexNG V 3 is a complete new implementation based on Zope 3 technologies and can be used both in Zope 2.8 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). Changes in V 3.1.7: - fixed some broken unittests - fixed HTML converter - passing the 'language' query parameter down to the ranking code (reported by Simon Pamies) Requirements: - Zope 2.8+, Zope 3.2+ Download: http://sf.net/projects/textindexng Project page: http://opensource.zopyx.biz/OpenSource/TextIndexNG3 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 ZPL.

Zope for non-Web applications?
by Rodrigo de Salvo Braz 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Hi, I don't even know Python yet, but I was wondering if it makes sense to use Zope as a OO database in non-Web applications written in Python. Any thoughts on that? Thanks, Rodrigo
