Hi thinking along the lines of exporting file objects onto the filesystem as their original file type so file system storage isn't quite right. This type of issue must have come up before as it's a big managerial concern to be able to extract all files from a site.

grabbing the url query string
by David Bear 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

I would like to have a url that I can use to address a zope object where I grab the query string and 'do something with it'. The issue is I want to be able to do this for any/all zope objects. For example lets say I have a zpt in my site called http://mzope.edu/zopeobject I would like to be able to do http://mzope.edu/zopeobject?id=129292 and have a way to capture the value of 'id'.. The use case I have in mind is a set of emails where I hand out a url to a page in a zope or plone zie that has a key or tag on it like the id above. In one set of email id=abc, in another set the id=xyz. I want to track 'clicks' based on which mailing generated the click. But I want to be able to apply the 'method' to any/all zope objects. Does this make sense? -- David Bear phone: 602-496-0424 fax: 602-496-0955 College of Public Programs/ASU University Center Rm 622 411 N Central Phoenix, AZ 85007-0685 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"

APE - are there plans for a new version for higher Zopes ?
by michael nt milne 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Hi Have been looking into running a script which would export all the file objects and folder structure of a site out onto an area on the filesystem. This would be a management requirement as once a week they would like to take a copy of all the assets separate from the ZODB. This product looks good but I realise that it only runs with Zope 2.7. Just wondering if there is a plan at all to upgrade it simply for file system export? http://plone.org/products/ape/ Thanks -- michael

how to install zope eggs
by robert rottermann 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

hi there, I would like to install an egg that depends on zope eggs installed (i18ndude) this of course can easily be done with easy_install. however afterwards non of my zope installations (and I have a number of them on the system) are working anymore because python is picking up some parts of the installed zope eggs. with no-deps I can avoid installing the zope eggs but the i18ndude does not work anymore. how can I install zope eggs (or i18ndude that is) such that my zope installations still work? or phrased differently: how can I install the zope eggs into a given zope instance? thanks robert

handling exceptions for external methods
by David Bear 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

I've begun using external methods and am trying to better understand the context they run and and how to handle exceptions. I have concluded the following (and I don't recall reading some of these in any documentation) (please correct me if I'm wrong) 1 external methods run in the same interpreter as zope 2 external methods have access to a larger namespace and therefor more functionality 3 external methods inherit the same namespace available to scripts running inside zope 4 external methods are not launched as forked or spawned child processes 5 external methods do not have access to stdin/stdout 6 external methods must return only strings, but they may be unicode string as long as they are valid xml string data Something that I don't understand is how to handle an exception. For example, if I have an external method that appends data to the end of a file, if there is an IOException how to I capture it and send a message back to zope with something informative? -- David Bear phone: 602-496-0424 fax: 602-496-0955 College of Public Programs/ASU University Center Rm 622 411 N Central Phoenix, AZ 85007-0685 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"

Aaron, The Path Handler product (http://www.zope.org/Members/NIP/PathHandler) is your friend. Normally, you would create a path handler called 'games' and point it to your display_game method. To obtain the result you describe, you could move your display_game code into index_html and test for a path_to_handle, else display your 'real' index_html. Have fun.

catching shorter URLs
by Aaron Maupin 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

I'm trying to make pretty URLs for a game site I'm developing, and due to the hosting environment I'm somewhat limited in my Apache URL rewrites. (I've tried the normal mod_proxy / mod_rewrite rules and they haven't worked in this environment.) I'd like the visitors to see http://games.mydomain.com/game-title Whereas what's really being accessed is http://www.mydomain.com/display_game?title=game-title or any solution that allows me to query a relational database for a game title so I don't have to create hundreds of objects in Zope. The only idea I have now is to use a Virtual Host Monster mapping to send visitors using the games.mydomain.com to a folder that contains a custom standard_error_message that reads the request object, figures out the game title, and queries the database.... but that's really inelegant. Is there a way to inspect the request before Zope starts traversing objects? Or any other ideas on how to accomplish what I want? I'm not new to Zope, but I basically use it as a container for Python scripts and haven't delved too deeply into it otherwise... so I may be missing something obvious. Aaron

Thanks Dieter! That indeed did the trick. It took a lot of digging around online (and several times undoing the last edit because it made the folder I was working in uneditable with the management interface) but in the end I was successful. For posterity: A Virtual Host Monster mapping sends any request with the "games" subdomain to a special folder with the following access rule: ##### request = context.REQUEST #determine title (last part of URL) url = request.other['ACTUAL_URL'] if len(url) > 0: if url[-1] == '/': url = url[:-1] splitpath = url.split('/') target = splitpath.pop() #add title as form data to request object request.form['gametitle'] = target #rewrite path - display_game is a Python script in the root of #Zope, so by adding its name to the namestack it will be found. #Not added if I'm editing the script (hack) so I'm not locked out. namestack = request.other['TraversalRequestNameStack'] if namestack[0][:6] != 'ZPytho' and namestack[0][:6] != 'manage': request.other['TraversalRequestNameStack'] = ['display_game'] ##### So far it works well. I can visit games.mydomain.com/Tetris and www.mydomain.com/display_game?gametitle=Tetris interchangably. Aaron
