Date utility for Zope (V2)
by Brian Sullivan 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

I am looking for a standard way (from a python script in Zope) to define and manipulate time intervals for periodic events. I need to define things like every weekday at 8 am, the 2nd day of every month at 8am, every weekday at 8am, 10am and 3pm in addition to easy things like everyday at 1pm. Does such a standard exist - perhaps with a library to manage the conversion to real times? On another forum this http://labix.org/python-dateutil was suggested -- it looks to be close to what I was thinking -- but I am not totally sure how I can use it in Zope (a level of incompetence issue no doubt). Is there something else Zope(not Plone) ready? Or alternately how would I use this in Zope?

Order of Indexes when reindexing
by Sascha Welter 09 Nov '10

Hi Zopistas! I have a funny situation here, where aparently the order in which indexes are rebuilt during an object reindex introduces some random error. There are 2 kinds of objects: jobs and documents. Documents are for this example invoices that invoice one or multiple jobs. Each job can be invoiced in zero, one or multiple invoices. Due to modelling the way people work, the link is done from the document to the job, i.e. in the document we store the IDs of jobs that are invoiced. The job can find the documents that it's invoiced in via a Catalog search. Each job needs a "most relevant invoice" date, if the job has 2 invoices, the date of the invoice with the highest amount is the "most relevant" date. That's childs play. It gets put into a DateIndex. The problem appears when reindexing either a job (on editing the job) or when reindexing all the catalog: Apparently sometimes, the "most relevant date" index gets calculated when the "job-to-document" index is still empty. Result is that about 5-10% of "jobs" have an empty value in the "most relevant date" index. What strategies are you following for avoiding one index to depend on another? Or am I doing something wrong and I'm the only one who got a problem which seems to be angled on the order with which indexes are emptied and reindexed? Thanks for any hints! Regards, Sascha

Zip Folder
by Richard Harley 03 Nov '10

Hello all I have been using Zope 2.9 - which works with the zip folder product. Now I upgraded to Zope 2.13 but the zip folder product does not work. Is there an equivalent, or another way of unzipping folders straight into the filesystem? Thanks Richard
