Zope database file grows when no one is modifying it
by Jamie O'Keefe 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

I am administering a Zope/CMF site running Zope 2.6.4 with python 2.2.3. We have been running low on space and have not been able to clean out the database of old edits. We are moving other sites over to a new server and were able to free up about 3GB. Unfortunately, our main Zope site has filled up most of that space quite rapidly. We haven't edited it much so it is unclear why it is growing so quickly. What might be amiss? Thanks! Jamie

Zope development needed
by Ashley Martinez 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Our company, Housing Helpers of Boulder, Colorado, is currently looking to find a new web developer/designer for our roommate service website. It's written in Zope language. Is this something you do, or know of a company that does this? How do we go about getting an estimate? We would also need the site to be hosted and want to build a long term relationship with a company that can provide support and help add features. The kinds of improvements we are looking to make as soon as possible are different prices for different areas and different subscriptions lengths for our Roommate service. We only have limited capabilities to do this now. We are expanding the regions we serve and want to be a competitive nation wide roommate service. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi, I had a look at: http://www.zope.org/Products/user_management?batch_size%3Aint%3Arequired=100 Most of them are a bit old... and might not run on current Zope version. I think there should be some cleaning...isn't it?

Bare except clause in respect to self.DestinationURL()
by Sascha Welter 13 Oct '07

13 Oct '07

Hello Zopistas! This pattern here is very common in many people's Zope products: try: u=self.DestinationURL() except: u=REQUEST['URL1'] It's usually in the manage_addXY() method, when all the work is done, we test for REQUEST!=None and we want to know where to redirect to. Is there a reason for that bare except here? Wouldn't except AttributeError: ... do the job just as well? Currently I'm in the process of smoking out bare except clauses in the Zwiki code. I've learned that bare except clauses are bad (amongst other reasons mainly because they can swallow ConflictErrors), so I try to be a good kid and get rid of them. This spot seems to be somewhere where a ConflictError could happen (we're creating something), but OTOH it gets run when creating from the ZMI, so... It might be that in this spot it's just irrelevant and I've turned pedantic in my hunt - or there might be a reason for this. What do you think? Regards, Sascha PS. I hope this doesn't kick off a bike shed discussion... :-)

searching with foreign characters in the ZCatalog
by Wohnlich, Eric (IMS) 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

As far as I can tell, using any of the default index types that come with Zope 2 (FieldIndex, TextIndex, whatever) if you do a search for "Jurgen" it will not match "Jürgen". In my opinion, this is correct - "Jurgen" is spelled incorrectly. However, I am having some clients push hard to have it behave differently. From what I've looked at, I haven't seen a way to make FieldIndex ignore or somehow manipulate "special" characters, nor have I seen any products that provide a new index type to specifically deal with this. Does anyone know if there is something out there to help with this? Eric -------------------------------------------------------- Information in this e-mail may be confidential.
