WebDAV overview
by Lennart Regebro 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

I'm looking into WebDAV support, and I'm a bit lost. More specifically, I can open a document with OpenOffice, but if I save it, nothing happens, the document doesn't get updated. I've been trying to figure out what happens in Zope, and what methods take care of this, but I have yet to come up with nothing useful. Can anybody give me or point me to an overview of the WebDAV support in Zope?

ExternalEditor MSOffice plugins...
by Larry J. C. Prikockis 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

I know this has been discussed on the list before, but I don't know that I've ever seen a definitive answer.... when using the ExternalEditor helper app on a Windows machine, I seem to be unable to get the plugins for Word, Excel, etc. to work properly UNLESS I have Python installed on that machine. Otherwise, I get the message "FATAL ERROR:(126,'LoadLibrary', 'The specified module could not be found.') For myself, this is no problem since I DO have python installed on any computer I work on, but for the average user of our Intranet, it's not a good assumption. I was under the impression that the helper application should be the only client installation necessary to enable ExternalEditor for users. Is this not the case with the Word and Excel plugins?

REQUEST and AccessRule
by Gilles Lenfant 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Hi, It seems that REQUEST data available in a script executed as access rule are different from those usually available. How can I find the ones available ? In my case, I need to have the (external) hostname (running behind Apache and a VirtualHostMonster) in an access rule script. Thanks in advance --Gilles

Unicode Error ASCII -> decoding error: ordinal not in range(128)
by Shashank Ashtikar 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Hello friends, I am trying to import unicode content in to ZODB using an external method. This content is being added as a property. The error that I am Getting is Error Type: UnicodeError Error Value: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128) I did some googling and I found out that this is because of pythons default encoding being ascii. But I did not come across any particular solution. The text that I am trying to import is Hindi language text (i.e. ISO - 10646 encoding.) The actual traceback of the error is, Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 98, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object Module Products.ExternalMethod.ExternalMethod, line 224, in __call__ - __traceback_info__: ((<TransparentFolder instance at 8cf1f68>, <HTTPRequest, URL=http://gnu.hbcse.tifr.res.in:9673/IndicTrans/indic2/Programs/import_po>), {}, (None,)) Module /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/GNOWSYS/Extensions/po_import.py, line 47, in manage_addPoFile Module OFS.PropertyManager, line 247, in manage_addProperty Module ZPublisher.Converters, line 123, in __call__ UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128) The line 47 in the external method is objRef.manage_addProperty('trString', msgText1, 'utext') here "objRef" is the object handle which I got using restrictedTraverse API "trString" is the property id and "msgText1" is the variable containing actual unicode string. Any help or pointers??? Thanks in Advance. Shashank

Cleaning Filenames from Windows
by Edward Pollard 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

I have a form with which one can upload images. However, Internet Explorer for PC is a very clever program, and instead of putting the filename in the 'filename' attribute of the request object, it puts the whole local path of the file. This of course is unsuitable for a filename on the server. However, due the the escape nature of the backslash, I'm having a tremendous problem writing a function to clean up this mess. I am certain I used to have a code snippit to do this, but cannot find it. Can anyone give me a hand? --- Edward J. Pollard University of Lethbridge Web Development

Linux Startup problem
by Eddie Moench 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Hi, I have to install ZOPE on a Linux machine (SuSE SLES-7). After installation I get this error message: ------ 2003-09-30T20:09:57 INFO(0) zdaemon Started subprocess: pid 17103 ------ 2003-09-30T20:09:58 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /opt/csckm/zope/Zope-2.6.2-linux2-x86/z2.py, line 585, in ?

Error logging
by Andreas Tille 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Hi, today I had to deal with an access error and wanted to write a little cron job which informs me via mail that something was wrong at my Zope site. I do so for apache and did not expect any problem her but this seemed naive ... The only documentation I was able to find about writing error logs in Zope was http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Misc/LOGGING.txt but there is no date or version info in this text and because it is refering to a Python 1.5.2 version I doubt that this information might be outdated. Anyway - I do not understand this: Creating your own Zope logger is easy. Simply define a logger class with the following interface: ... I really can't imagine that I'm the only one who wants /var/log/zope/error.log without any intervention and so I hope there is a way which is "even more easy" than described above. ;-) Kind regards Andreas.

How to access the namespace of a Python Script?
by Elena Schulz 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Hi, I try to do the following inside a python script: myDict={'myKey':'myVal'} myString='myDict' myObject = getattr(thisScriptNameSpace, myString) What should I write for 'thisScriptNameSpace' to get 'myObject' pointing to 'myDict'? In a 'normal' Python-Modul 'thisScriptNameSpace' should be 'self'. It should be possible in a Python Script, ins't it? -- Any hints are welcome, Elena

FTP server hangs on ls, put, get, ...
by Ian Beatty 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Greetings. I've got a Zope installation that doesn't seem to want to do FTP. I can open a FTP connection to the server -- the authentication dialog goes okay -- and I can cd and pwd, but if I try to transfer any data (ls, put, get, etc.), the server seems to hang and eventually time out, terminating the connection. I can successfully FTP to other Zope servers. I've restarted Zope. I've tried connecting from several different client machines, and from different FTP client programs, and I get the same behavior each time. So, it seems to be something about that particular server (Zope 2.6.1 on Red Hat Linux 8). Anybody got any insightful advice or suggestions?
