Passing an instance in a form to a product method
by Ulla Theiss 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Hello List, I have to pass an instance of a self-defined class within a form to a product method. I try it in the following way: <form action="addUploadFile" enctype="multipart/form-data" target="main" method=post> <input name="doc:instance" value="<dtml-var doc>" type="hidden"> <input name="addFile" value="add File" type="submit"> </form> But within the method addUploadFile, always the parameter doc is passed as a string (the name of the instance) Does anybody know, what I have to change, that it works? Many thanks in advance Ulla.

step by step going from single zope to zeo
by David Bear 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Are there any step by step guidelines for how to modify a current single instance zope into a zeo configuration? I have a single zope instance. That zope.conf define two mount points for multiple zodb's. I would like to take that single instance and turn it in to a zeo server, with to zeo clients. Are they any recent howto's on this? -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU 411 N Central, Phoenix, AZ 85004

Hi Seems to be a couple of problems with this tutorial: http://www.benjiyork.com/quick_start/ 1. Adding this to your configure.zcml <browser:addMenuItem class=".hello.HelloWorld" title="QS Hello World" permission="zope.ManageContent" /> doesn't add anything to the add item drop-down in Zope 2. When following all the steps exactly and going to http://localhost:8080/hello You get a resource not found. By the way the <include package="hello" />...shouldn't that be <include package="hello" file="configure.zcml" />? Thanks -- michael

Problem with WebDAV and non-ascii titles
by Pawel Lewicki 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi, I have a problem with accessing files with non-ascii titles via Enfold Desktop (WebDAV)- Zope 2.10.4). 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 webdav.Resource, line 286, in PROPFIND Module webdav.davcmds, line 124, in apply Module OFS.PropertySheets, line 344, in dav__allprop UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 47: ordinal not in range(128) Is it a bug? I solved my problem with extra line: -------------- + result = [r.decode('ascii', 'ignore') for r in result] result='\n'.join(result) return propstat % (self.xml_namespace(), result, '200 OK', '') -------------- Pawel Lewicki

ZSyncer & Zope 2.10
by Craig Chasseur 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hello All, We've recently completed an upgrade to Zope 2.10.5 on one of our servers and we've begun to encounter problems with ZSyncer. We use ZSyncer to synchronize objects between this server and another running Zope 2.9.8 (both have ZSyncer 0.7.1 installed). When attempting to "put" folders from the 2.10 server to the 2.9 server, the process hangs and nothing is transferred. However, when we attempt to put individual objects, we are successful. Does anyone know what might be the cause of this issue? ZSyncer 0.7.1, which is the latest release, claims that it may not be compatible with Zope 2.9 and up, but we were able to use it successfully before this most recent upgrade to 2.10. If anyone is aware of a fix or a workaround, or simply has an insight into why this breaks for us, I would greatly appreciate the help. Sincerely, Craig Chasseur University of Michigan

zope on google file system
by Tim Nash 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

The google summer of code is almost underway and already has a lot of good ideas but I was wondering if any of my fellow zope users would have any interest in the following area: I don't have the skills but I think it would be cool if some student ported Zope to utilize features of the google file system or libferris. Libferris is a virtual file system that mounts just about everything including postgres, xml and OpenOffice docs. If zope ran on the gfs (primarily adding business logic, security and publishing) it would give a boost to the value of any zope based company. Also, I think it would be fun to run map/reduce on my stored objects! A zope that ran on libferris and offered secure publishing of libferris resources would just be cool. If anybody else thinks this would be useful I will jon the gsoc user list, (even though I'm not a student and I'm not experienced enough with zope to be a mentor) and do my best to make this happen.

RE: Managing Zope objects in Subversion
by martin.gfeller＠comit.ch 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Dear all I would like to thank all those who have responded to my query about management of Zope objects in Subversion. After I sent out my message on 2 March, I got completely side-tracked by other business. Please accept my apologies for this late response. I've experimented with FSDump and FileSystemSite, but that's a one-way solution; i.e., I cannot restore the file system back into ZODB. For me, the most promising respone was: > From: Sam Rangaswamy sam(a)zeomega.com > Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008 5:46 PM > Subject: Re: [Zope] Managing Zope objects in Subversion > Hello Martin > We use subversion extensively to manage our entire product development life cycle. > We have built tools to move source code back and forth between file system and zodb. > I will have it documented and share it with you and publish it.

Then when the gfs becomes a service that can be purchased (surely coming one day) zope is ready to be ported to gfs. Also, google can only offer so much without the ability to utilize business logic and security. They must be looking for an affordable way to offer business logic that can scale and serving secure objects. A bright student can help them explore using zope for this. > > Also, I > > think it would be fun to run map/reduce on my stored objects! > > Dunno what this means either... > Here is a paper on map reduce. If zope is storing documents, it would be useful to map / reduce the documents stored in zope and prepare reports, etc.. http://labs.google.com/papers/mapreduce.html Here is an overview offering many competing arguments: "Why Should You Care About MapReduce?" http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=48283 Also, check out hadoop. http://hadoop.apache.org/ > Chris > > -- > Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting > - http://www.simplistix.co.uk >
