zope form server and workflow
by Tim Nash 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

I'd like to get zope developers advice. I'm interested in the possibility of developing a system by putting together several zope instance that talk to each other via web services. I'd like to use zope as a RESTful server but I am novice zope user. I have only built one product and that was over a year ago. What I would like to do is the following: I'd like to be able to use zope as a url addressed storage system for e-forms. These are forms like you would find in a hospital clinic. There would be a gui interface that would be separate from the zope server (maybe it would also run in a different zope server but it could also be built in php or jsp). The gui pulls a blank e-form by calling http://hospital.org/form_service/patientCareForms/12465.pdf and pre-populates it with patient data taken from the session. Gui then stores the partially completed e-form. MRN is a unique number associated with a patient and FIN is unique to the MRN as well as the current encounter (or visit to the clinic) http://hospital.org/cardiovascular/MRN/FIN/date/uniqueid_12465.pdf then at a later time, gui recalls the same e-form http://hospital.org/cardiovascular/MRN/FIN/date/uniqueid_12465.pdf and sends it to a users mailbox. The mailbox is a zope workflow service http://hospital.org/workflow_service/dr_phil/date/uniqueid_12465.pdf Dr. Phil signs it and sends it to become part of the final medical record and stored in a relational database. The eform data is processed http://hospital.org/workflow_service/process_eform/12465.pdf And the pdf is sent for storage: http://hospital.org/stored_forms/cardiovascular/MRN/FIN/date/uniqueid_12465… Is this possible in zope? Is it even a good idea performance wise? The tough part to me is 1. calling a url with two consecutive url parts that are dynamically generated: /MRN/FIN 2. doing inserts into dynamic areas such as the final storage step. A system like this is would let the physician's use e-forms that look just like the paper forms they are used to and it could be scaled up quickly.

Zope Products and proprietary software
by Marco Bizzarri 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Hi all. I would like to know if someone can provide infos on the following topic: we have developed OpenFlow, which is released under GPL. A company is distributing a proprietary product based on Zope and OpenFlow. I suspect that if they want to do so, they should have a different licence from us. Can someone provide further insight? Regards Marco -- Marco Bizzarri http://iliveinpisa.blogspot.com/

Simple Item without undo revisions?
by Dennis Schulz 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Actually it is not a folder but an object that subclasses SimpleItem, that I would like to stop from saving revisions. Maybe is there a base class that has not undo support but supports most other things?

Appropriate Photo / Photo Folder for Zope 2.10.2?
by Pablo Ziliani 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Hello all, I'm having trouble to find an appropriate version for the Photo/Photo Folder product to run under 2.10.2. I'm currently using Roug's 1.3.1[1] which throws some warnings upon start[2]. Also, there's a more recent ExtFile[3] product that I'd like to use if it played well with Photo. Maybe I should use the (much older) Zope3 version?[4] Can anybody please give me a hand with this? (working links are appreciated) TIA, Pablo [1] http://www.zope.org/Members/Roug/Photo [2] WARNING Init Class Products.Photo.Photo.Photo has a security declaration for nonexistent method 'jpgcomment' 2007-02-06 10:53:11 WARNING Init Class Products.Photo.Photo.Photo has a security declaration for nonexistent method 'jpgcomment' /Products/Photo/__init__.py:32: DeprecationWarning: The ImageFile module will be removed in Zope 2.11. Use App.ImageFile instead. from ImageFile import ImageFile [3] http://www.zope.org/Members/shh/ExtFile [4] http://svn.zope.org/photo/ I guess, since the link in rbrickers' Z2 version page is broken (http://www.zope.org/Members/rbickers/Photo)

I am attempting to use DeadlockDebugger/Zope 2.9.6 (windows) -- something seems nnot working (get resource not found when accessing url). Can someone confirm that this combo should work using the latest threadframe.pyc ? ( I have installed and have a working DeadlockDebugger on Zope 2.9.4 and Zope 2.9.1 so I have some familiarty with the installation).

Limiting access to a Zope Site
by Mark, Jonathan (Integic) 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

[The other] Jonathan writes: """Why don't you run two separate zope instances, one for production and one for development, and set up the apache rewrite rules so that www points to the production instance and dev points to the development instance?""" It is my impression that moving a Data.fs file from one Zope instance to another is often unreliable. Once the development and production Zope instances differ, and by definition they will, there could be a real problem getting the development Data.fs to open in the production instance.

freezope dot org in trouble?
by Bryan Simmons 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

I have noticed a serious lack of free zope hosting sites. I mean, there's a lot of sites out there that will give anyone a free web page, but none that I can find that will give a free zope folder or plone instance or something like that. Freezope appears to be one such site but it doesn't work. Their register.freezope.org site is down and they appear to be out of disk space on the main zope instance at freezope.org. Anyone know any scuttlebutt on this site? It would be a shame if there were truly no free zope hosting sites around... -- Regards, Bryan Simmons "All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer." -- IBM maintenance manual, 1925
