Virtual host monster question
by Garito 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Hi! I create a website in development environment that works fine But when I try to put it on the production server links stop working Why? Seems is a question of VHM misconfiguration I have a domain www.example.com who host the server but the website (at www.example.com/Webs/myclient) is on www.myclient.com When I visit www.myclient.com seems to work ok but If I put the mouse over a link the url is not translated by VHM I spect for: www.myclient.com/Page1 The reality is I have: www.example.com/Webs/myclient/Page1 Can you see what is happening? Need some more information? Thanks! -- Mis Cosas http://blogs.sistes.net/Garito

HELP! Will PAY YOU to Fix This Problem!
by tonylabarbara＠aol.com 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Hi; I just built out a new server according to a formulary I´ve worked before without any problems. Now, however, I have a bug in ALL of my Zope sites that throws a strange attribute error for various attributes that have always worked in the past (see thread "AttributeError: Can´t Pin It Down!"). I built everything from *.zexp files when my sites were working fine on my old server. I can send you the exact formulary I used to build the server (on FBSD). I have lost a couple of weeks over this silly problem that no one on the list has been able to address. HELP! Write me off list. Give me your hourly rate.

SiteErrorLog
by Peter Bengtsson 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

I've been playing with a new monkey patch product for zope 2.8 (at least) and I confidentally call it 'BetterSiteErrorLog'. The only two features I've added so far is to make the error log searchable and that it shows the date of errors older than one day. What other products are there out there already that I should look at? What other features have you guys been desiring in the error_log but never had the time to do something about? -- Peter Bengtsson, work www.fry-it.com home www.peterbe.com hobby www.issuetrackerproduct.com

Quesiton about retrieving the base object
by Alric Aneron 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

Hello, I have a custom product that has a ZFile as its base class. I tried importing the file on the upgraded platform, but I got the "Operation not supported" error. I have a ton of these objects that show up as "broken". Question: I still have my old Zope server running, is it possible to extract the files as regular Zope Files so I can transfer them over? Maybe make a python script? Thanks. RA --------------------------------- Choose the right car based on your needs. Check out Yahoo! Autos new Car Finder tool.

Problem importing xml backup file
by Vittorio Manfredini 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

I have to upgrade to a new server and I export my zope in the xml file using the export option. On the old system I use zope 2.7 and python 2.4.3, on the new system I use opensuse 10.2 with python 2.4.4 (recompiled by me) and zope 2.10. When I try to import the file I receive the following error : Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. Error Type: UnicodeDecodeError Error Value: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa1 in position 34: ordinal not in range(128) And in the log : 2007-07-20T11:26:06 ERROR Zope.SiteErrorLog http://10.0.1.130:9673/manage_importObject Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 119, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 42, in call_object Module OFS.ObjectManager, line 609, in manage_importObject Module OFS.ObjectManager, line 626, in _importObjectFromFile Module ZODB.ExportImport, line 65, in importFile Module OFS.XMLExportImport, line 114, in importXML Module Shared.DC.xml.xyap, line 58, in unknown_endtag Module Shared.DC.xml.ppml, line 626, in save_object UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa1 in position 34: ordinal not in range(128) I tried to find any recurrence of xa1 in the xml file but I did not find anything. Any help please. Thanks -- Vittorio Manfredini

How to import a basic class in Script (Python)
by Tudor Gabriel 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

To learn zope I am trying to write a basic library page. I wrote a book_py class ... and from search_books_py try to return a list of books to show in a ZPT. now let's suppose all the files (all the py and zpt files) are in the same directory:Library in search_books_py i tried importing the book class in this ways: from book_py import * from Library.book_py import * from here.book_py import * from container.book_py import * they all give ... an unauthorized access to book_py when importing. i even renamed book_py to book.py and tried all the above imports like from book import * ... same error. I've searched Zope Help and it mentions in there that i have to make a new dir in Products called whatever and add to __init__.py the allowimport or something like that, for my package. i tried that too ... same error (haven't restarted zope after... should i?) . >From Zope Help i get that only some standard python modules can be imported this way ... So is there a way to simply make a class in a Script(Python) and import it in another Script(Python). If there isn't, and i have to make a custom Product for my Book class... please give me a basic example of how can i make that. Thank you for your patience.

z3c.form 1.5.0 and z3c.formdemo 1.3.0 released!
by Stephan Richter 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hello everyone, I am pleased to announce new releases for z3c.form and z3c.formdemo. The latest changes were mainly driven by Paul Carduner's work on z3c.formjs and z3c.formjsdemo, but also by continued customer work. Again for the curious and impatient ... --------------------------------------- This time there is no new demo available, but the old ones still work as expected. To run the demos do the following:: $ svn co svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/z3c.formdemo/trunk formdemo $ cd formdemo $ python bootstrap.py $ ./bin/buildout -v $ ./bin/demo fg Now you can access the demo under: http://localhost:8080/ We now also have functional tests that check all the demos: $ ./bin/test -vp1 On the Javascript Front ----------------------- A lot more progress has been made on this front. Look out for Paul's announcement! It will make up for the missing new demo in formdemo! Changes ------- z3c.form ~~~~~~~~ - Feature: Added a span around values for widgets in display mode. This allows for easier identification widget values in display mode. - Feature: Added the concept of widget events and implemented a particular "after widget update" event that is called right after a widget is updated. - Feature: Restructured the approach to customize button actions, by requiring the adapter to provide a new interface ``IButtonAction``. Also, an adapter is now provided by default, still allowing cusotmization using the usual methods though. - Feature: Added button widget. While it is not very useful without Javascript, it still belongs into this package for completion. - Feature: All ``IFieldWidget`` instances that are also HTML element widgets now declare an additional CSS class of the form "<fieldtype.lower()>-field". - Feature: Added ``addClass()`` method to HTML element widgets, so that adding a new CSS class is simpler. - Feature: Renamed "css" attribute of the widget to "klass", because the class of an HTML element is a classification, not a CSS marker. - Feature: Reviewed all widget attributes. Added all available HTML attributes to the widgets. - Documentation: Removed mentioning of widget's "hint" attribute, since it does not exist. - Optimization: The terms for a sequence widget were looked up multiple times among different components. The widget is now the canonical source for the terms and other components, such as the converter uses them. This avoids looking up the terms multiple times, which can be an expensive process for some applications. - Bug/Feature: Correctly create labels for radio button choices. - Bug: Buttons did not honor the name given by the schema, if created within one, because we were too anxious to give buttons a name. Now name assignment is delayed until the button is added to the button manager. - Bug: Button actions were never updated in the actions manager. - Bug: Added tests for textarea widget. z3c.formdemo ~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Feature: Created functional tests for the demos. - Feature: Moved all application ZCML declarations into a ZCML file called ``application.zcml``.

I'm troubleshooting a complex shop I had a programmer who worked for me build...so it's not my code...and it's complex ;) I went into the shopkeeper's side and was able to successfully query the database. I was, for example, able to display the "cotton" products for editing. However, when I do essentially_the_same_thing TTW with the following code snippet, it hangs! <tal:block metal:define-macro="content" ?????????? define="dummy python:request.set('category', 5)"> ? <tal:block metal:use-macro="here/Store/Main_frame_content/macros/content" /> </tal:block> Furthermore, mytop shows the user is hanging: ???? 30 mysqluser?????? localhost mrtableclo?????? 473? Sleep What should I do next to troubleshoot this? TIA, Tony ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
