This list is here to help with technical problems. In general I would say it's very good at it. It doesn't really seem to exist for community building. If it was here for that, I wouldn't be here and I believe many others the same. ... > That's why I decided to see > if anyone on this list feels like commenting about this, Thank $DEITY people don't just express how they feel when someone comes here with a problem. From: Ben <shadroth(a)gmail.com> Subject: [Zope] Re: Problems starting ZEO with zeoctl > This fixed it. See? This is the kind of response this list solitices as an end result. Blogs are fine (I'm blogging myself), but they do an entirely different job than a mailing list. If you haven't understood that, you have a problem with blogging and/or mailing lists. People write on their blogs when they want to express their oppinion or when they want to drop a technical article. They write on the mailing list when their blog software breaks down. So I "feel" your weighting up of mailing lists and blogs is invalid :-) Regards, Sascha

hi to all, i have this problem which is related to zope. we sell a tool inside zope that we install on a machine that stay at our customer. We need to find a easy but powerful way to update the tool if there are bugs or new features . after some research i've found zope synchronizer which is quite good but it miss some function (i.e. checking the file instead of just checking mtime ) and i would like if there are other products or solutions Any hint is well appreciated. thanks Samuele

question on URL styling
by Erik Myllymaki 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

I am making a survey that has many very similar pages all in one directory. The page templates are called page-1.html, page-2.html, ... page-n.html. I am using two submit buttons on each of the pages; one for 'Next' and one for 'Previous' so that I catch changes to the form elements in each direction. I use a python script as index_html, and hit it on each submit (<form action=".">), and then redirect to the appropriate page, whether that page is current_page++ or current_page--. I also stuff all form variables into SESSION in the index_html python script. What I am wondering though, is how to display the 'page' portion of the address - right now it always just displays as http://myzopesite.com/workingdirectory/ I would like it to display http://myzopesite.com/workingdirectory/page-1.html, http://myzopesite.com/workingdirectory/page-1.html, etc. The pages are all accessible directly by those names, but by always going to index_html and returning the page via "return container[next_page](context, request)" I never see this part in the URL. Thanks for any suggestions.

I don't know Sakai either, but a 30 seconds look at http://sakaiproject.org makes me belive that you are compaing apples and oranges. Nowhere does that website say that Sakai is an application server - which is what Zope is. It seems to be a "collaboration tool", so maybe you could compare it to SchoolTool on Zope (3, I believe)?

Upload file to server for encoding...
by Nick Gr 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hello Zope community, I just installed Zope-2.9.4 in a windows XP SP2 . I'm making a web site that the visitors should: A) Upload a file to the server B)After the file is uploaded , I have write a python program to encode the file C)When the encoding is finish, user must download the file back to his machine. I'm very new to Zope and I choose it because I thought it should have an easy and good communication with python. Since I have terminated the python program that does what I want, I have no idea how to accomplish the requests above. A -> I know I will need external access to the file system, is there a product that can help me in that ? B -> my program works as I want like a python program , it will need any modification so I can use it in Zope ? C -> I think I will need also some kind of progress indicator so the user can know when the encoding is done (some time takes more than a minute). Any ideas how the user will download back the file? should the download begin automatically after the encoding ? Thanks in advance...

Authentication on a Folder?
by Ferhat Ayaz 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hi, I want to restrict access to a subfolder: Folder structure: --------------------------------- Root Folder +- MySite +- Admin Access limitation: --------------------------------- My Site: Public for all Admin: Only with Basic Authentication Notes: --------------------------------- My page templates under 'MySite' use Script (Python) calls from Admin folder like: index_html (in MySite): --------------------------------- <html> ... <tal:contain define="user container/Admin/getUser"> ... </tal:container> ... </html> But 'getUser' should not be able for access from outside the application server. How can I do this? Thanks very much, Ferhat __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

You don't understand what I am talking about. When you cann findUsers, have you confirmed that the object you call it on is the user folder? The exception says there is no findUsers method on the object, so it is probably not using the right object. > Pls let me know how to configure the application so > that the basic authentication pop-up dialog comes up > when we access the URL(this happens in our old > installation). You don't get what people try to tell you: This is not an authentication problem. The problem is with the exception that clains there is no findUsers method.
