The zope instance also supports some plone 2.5.x sites. Complete upgrade needs to be zope 2.8.8 to 2.9.8 and plone 2.5.0 to 2.5.5. I have installed the new versions using the unified installer. Does that make this impossible? Should I just move this whole question to plone list?

Not so lucky time I guess. Anyone else have pointers to what I need to know? When I search zope.org for "upgrade zope" the only relevant article on the first three pages of results was last updated in August 2003 and is useless. Google doesn't get me anything much better. There is no upgrade information on or linked from the zope 2.9.8 release pages. I found some generic info on the zope wiki finally, however of course it doesn't cover plone upgrades. thanks, John S. -- John Schinnerer, MA WSD ------------------------------------------ - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john(a)eco-living.net http://eco-living.net

[buildout] bootstrap and develop
by Janko Hauser 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hello, I'm using the infrae.subversion recipe to collect various Products and packages from our subversion. The main goal here is, to not use svn:externals. But the buildout directive "develop=src/..." seems to have the requirement, that the packages are already present if bootstrap.py is called. So it is not possible to place packages there with buildout and get them picked up. 1. Is this correct? I searched and found others have the same problem. 2. What would be alternatives or how can this be changed? Thanks for answers and hints, __Janko Hauser

I haven't been able to access the zopelabs cookbook for several weeks. The page (www.zopelabs.com/cookbook ) just hangs. Is anyone able to get access to the zope cookbook? If the zopelabs site is permanently gone, are the menu's available somewhere else on the web? Thanks, Tim

How to get nice traceback like from old versions?
by Jaroslav Lukesh 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Hi all, with Zope version 2.5.1 I was get nice error messages from source of page. With 2.9.4 I was get error messages in file log/events.log which is better for security reasons, but these messages are not as exact as from old zope which give me point to failure like that: ... Error Type: NameError Error Value: global name 'Mailinf' is not defined ...  Many thanks, JL.

brains and metal:fill-slot
by sguglia＠arrows.it 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

hello everybody! I have a bunch of brains. Their URLs point at a *.cpt file I wanted to be displayed inside the 'main' plone slot, so the usual code: <html metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master"> <body metal:fill-slot="main"> but it doesn't work. Error Type KeyError Error Value '@@plone' this is the cryptic (for me :-) message shown and no help from google..Any idea or link, please? bye! Stefano

Five events and webdav
by Chris Withers 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

Hi All, What event should I subscribe to in order to recatalog all of a folder's contents should that folder be renamed via webdav? (I guess I'd need to uncatalog from old path and then re-catalog from new path?) cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Installing TextIndexNG3 in ZopeTestCase (long story short)
by Peter Bengtsson 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

I've had a morning of annoyed frustration on trying to get TextIndexNG3 to install properly in ZopeTestCase. The problem I described in http://www.nabble.com/ZopeTestCase.installProduct%28%27TextIndexNG3%27%29-t… mysteriously went away some time ago without any reasonable explaination. Now I've created a new product which relies on the old troublemaker and it starts like this: ZopeTestCase.installProduct('ZPsycopgDA') ZopeTestCase.installProduct('PlacelessTranslationService') ZopeTestCase.installProduct('ZCatalog') ZopeTestCase.installProduct('ZCTextIndex') ZopeTestCase.installProduct('Five') ZopeTestCase.installProduct('TextIndexNG3') ZopeTestCase.installProduct('Mest2') ZopeTestCase.installProduct('Design2Mest') ZopeTestCase.installProduct('MailHost') ZopeTestCase.installProduct('Photo') This works when running the tests of Mest2/tests! Mest2 depends on Photo but the ZopeTestCase is clever enough to solve that dependency challange and TextIndexNG3 depends on Five but it works that out too. Now in Design2Mest/test I copied the above lines and wrote a few basic tests and now it no longer works!!! TextIndexNG3 complains (again) about some parsers not being available. What happened was kind of that none of the zcml files of TextIndexNG3 were read or parsed at all. The solution to the problem was to rearrange the order of...: ZopeTestCase.installProduct('Five') ZopeTestCase.installProduct('TextIndexNG3') ...to this...: ZopeTestCase.installProduct('TextIndexNG3') ZopeTestCase.installProduct('Five') ...and then it worked. Lessons learnt: * Five and TextIndexNG3's importing order is very sensitive in ZopeTestCase * Sometimes the order matters sometimes it doesn't * TextIndexNG3 is a brilliant product with excellent features but a large heap of external connections that are hard to debug * Five & ZCML is very hard to debug since there's bucket loads full of "magic" or whatever you want to call it that makes it damn hard to put in conventional print and raise statements to look through tracebacks. * Don't give up PS. I've never touched or written an ZCML files in this environment. -- Peter Bengtsson, work www.fry-it.com home www.peterbe.com hobby www.issuetrackerproduct.com

Execute a PageTemplate in another context
by Peter Bengtsson 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

Is it possible to execute a PageTemplate as if it was located somewhere else? The PageTemplate has this code:: <html> </html> And it's located in a folder called /foo/bar/ which are normal Zope Folder objects. I'm executing this template object from Python code (not from URL travsersal) and the rendered result is: <html>/foo/bar</html> But what if I want to execute it as if it existed in another context, e.g. /barfoo Is that possible? I can imagine a some convoluted solutions but was hoping for something easy and obvious that I've missed. -- Peter Bengtsson, work www.fry-it.com home www.peterbe.com hobby www.issuetrackerproduct.com
