I'm a little stuck here.... (And please forgive me, I don't really know what i'm doing)... Problem: Getting ForbiddenAttribute: ('__call__', on annotation I am trying to make a tabbed form which shows 'snapin-annotations' as tabs in the same form as the content In the form i look up the snapin-adapters like this: def getSnapInAdapters(self): for iface in component.interface.searchInterface( context=None, search_string=None, base=snapin.interfaces.ISnapInAnnotation): myAdapter = component.queryMultiAdapter( objects=(self.context,), interface=iface, default=None) if myAdapter is None: continue yield myAdapter And then try to adapt the context like this: for myAdapter in self.getSnapInAdapters(): snapin=myAdapter(self.context) Here I get the error like this: snapin=myAdapter(self.context) ForbiddenAttribute: ('__call__', <bdz.testtour.annotation.ContentAnnotationA object at 0x03588510>) <zcml> <adapter factory="bdz.testtour.annotation.ContentAnnotationA" trusted="True" /> </zcml> I must be forgetting something... Will You help? med venlig hilsen / with kind regards Jørgen G. Jørgensen. --- I just like to play with computers, unix, windows, linux, come as they may __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Windows binary releases
by Brian Sullivan 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

There seems to be no Windows binary releases (even older ones) at: http://www.zope.org/Products Is there some timetable for production of those releases? Is there some reason why older binary releases are not left there?

Zope 2 Development Best Practices
by Edward Pollard 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

Greetings, A few years back our institution adopted Zope to support some CMS- like development on a zero-dollar budget. We achieved our primary goals in no time at all, and we very happy. Since that time we have used Zope to deliver a number of solutions to our organization. However, as the complexity of our operation increases, it becomes more and more apparent that our coding standards for Zope are very low. We've leaned on the existing Zope community - adopting code, borrowing ideas, trying to learn - but have never seen anything that helps us better understand the philosophy and structure that would underly a strong understanding of Zopishness. For instance, here are a few gems from our playbook. Please note first that everything works to our needs and we are trying to find a way out of the darkness. We're smart folks, but I fear we have strayed far from the path of wisdom and light. - We have never developed a python based product, although we have hung a gigantic amount of external methods off of a half dozen pages to make it go. And yes, we use ZClasses (shock) - We have solved problems by modifying the ZServer source code. - We have developed entire database driven products inside external methods. - Every Z SQL Method we have has a python script associated with it to massage input and output (and manually enforces security). Of course, a google of Zope Best Practices just brings me a bunch of Plone development stuff. That is of no use. So where is the knowledge I seek to be found? Understanding that open source products are prone to such abuses, I've not been able to find anything as a starting ground to reform our ways. Thanks in advance. -- Edward J. Pollard, B.Sc.

manipulating zodb from independent database connection
by Tim Nash 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

Does anybody have a script available that shows how to insert objects into the ZODB root['Application'] from a non-zope process outside the Zope application? Everytime I try to read root['Application'] I get a page template error. I'm using zope 2.5 (matches a book I like) and doing like so: >>> from ZODB import FileStorage, DB >>> storage = FileStorage.FileStorage('Data.fs') >>> db = DB(storage) >>> connection = db.open() >>> root = connection.root() Also, can the ZODB be altered this way on a running Zope instance? I would like to have a script run on cron and insert objects and remove objects from the ZODB while the zope instance application is running. I'd like these newly inserted objects to be Zpublishable as well. Thanks! Tim
