Plone is neglecting my styles
by Mitch Pirtle 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi all, In working with Plone, I'm currently in the throes of creating the template for a portal. The default skin in Plone has a white body, but my ploneCustom.css specifically sets it to grey. But when I view the page rendered by Plone, the background is stil white. ? But wait, there's more - some of the other styles get applied, but not all. Does Plone's stylesheets have the css equivalent of 'reserved words' or what? -- mitchy

use of RedG-analize-1.0
by Pierre Colonna d'Istria 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hello, We want to use RedG-analize-1.0 in order to porduce a report of Zope logs wich can be readable with webalizer In the how to, we don't understand the following section : ================================ 3. Add "File" object somewhere in ZMI. Content Type: text/plain Format of the file entries (lines): NAME VIRTUAL_HOST So for example if statistics for web site: www.zope.org should go to subfolder 'zope' please add the line: zope zope.org Please note that there are no prefix 'www'. This way all requests to zope.org will be logged. Multiple entries for same NAME allowed. It is also very recommended to 'secure' this file contents to anonymous users. When editing file in ZMI please press "Security" tab and change "View" permission as following: [ ] Acquire permission settings [ ] Anonymous [ ] Authenticated [x] Manager [x] Owner ======================================== What is this file? it is the log file ? Wich name could we use ? Is it this file that sould be "webalize" ? Could we have more explanation ? Thanks

My German's a little rusty, but it looks like this person doesn't want to get mail from me. Since I sent it to zope.org, that would mean they want off the list. Any bilingual folks here who can help? --- Gostnerr <GostnerR(a)t-systems.com> wrote: > Sehr geehrte(r) Mailsender(In), > ich bin nicht mehr im Hause T-Systems besch�ftigt. > Bitte wenden Sie sich an Herrn Czerwinski Michael > (06151 - 886-0) oder an Herrn Gr�newald Matthias > (06151 - 886-0) > Bitte beachten Sie auch, dass diese Email nicht > weitergeleitet wird. > Mit freundlichen Gr�ssen > Roswitha Gostner __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

PIL and TIFF problem
by Borja Prieto 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

I have installed Easy Image and PIL 1.1.4 on my Zope 2.6.1 with Python 2.1.3 on Windows XP. It works well with jpg and other formats, but when I try to upload a TIFF image (wich is precisely what I want) it gives me the error: IOError "decoder tiff_ccitt not available" I have followed the guide on Zope.org (http://www.zope.org/Members/SmileyChris/howto/pil_for_windows) to install PIL, and I have no idea what can I be doing wrong. I will appreciate any help you could give. Borja Prieto Alanta

Running ExternalMethods using ZopeTestCase
by Tim Edwards 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

Hi, I am trying to run an ExternalMethod from a ZopeTestCase: class TestSomeProduct(ZopeTestCase.ZopeTestCase): def afterSetUp(self): # Put SESSION object into REQUEST request = self.app.REQUEST sdm = self.app.session_data_manager request.set('SESSION', sdm.getSessionData()) self.session = request.SESSION def testSomething(self): '''Test something''' print self.app.test2.company.id print self.app.test2.company._module print self.app.test2.company._function INSTANCE_HOME = insthome os.environ['INSTANCE_HOME'] = insthome print 'in the main module instance home is ' + INSTANCE_HOME print self.app.test2.company.filepath() print self.app.test2.company() self.app.test2.company() is the External Method. The id, _module (Module name) and _function (Function name) attributes are returning correct value, as verified by the print statements. The problem seems to be that when I actually call the method it can't find the module in the file system, to verify this print self.app.test2.company.filepath() returns None. I have set the instance home variable and environment variable and the print statements above show the right values, in my case "C:\Program Files\Plone\Data". I have traced this through some of the source code. The call to the external method goes down into the __call__ function of Products\ExternalMethod\ExternalMethod.py and from there it calls _getPath from App\Extensions.py. This is where the cause of the problem seems to be: the cause of the problem is that the instance_home variable loses it's value - it becomes "C:\Program Files\Plone\Zope\lib\python\Testing". The Intance_home environment variable still has the correct value. This causes zope to be unable to find the external method. Any help would be greatly appreciated Tim Edwards

CMF: Fields not available in objects found by catalog search?
by Ian Beatty 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

Greetings. I'm constructing a "schedule" page in Plone, following closely the example of the news page and events slot. It lists information about Events (CMF Event type) that meet specified criteria (keyword, start date within a specified range, etc.) by calling container.portal_catalog(). So far, so good. I can then iterate over the returned result set, call getObject on each element, and access fields of the object such as "Title" and "Description". However, not all of the Event type's fields seem to be available. If I try to access "location" or "contact_name" (or "Location" or "ContactName"), I get a KeyError. No such field. What gives? Why are some fields not accessible? And where can I hack something to make them accessible?

Are products the right approach?
by Carsten Gehling 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

Since I'm new at Zope, I would value your opinions very much about my choices in this first project. My first Zope project is creating an intranet for a local TV company. They wish to store information about their equipment, spare parts, etc., and maintain logs about the equipment's current state (working, out of order, being maintained, etc.). (note: This is only a small part of their intranet, extracted for discussion purposes). Right now, I've made the following folder structure: ---------------------------------- /root ... intranet Technical Equipment SpareParts ---------------------------------- I have created two product classes called Equipment and SpareParts. As it might be obvious, objects of class Equipment should only be created in the folder Equipment, and likewise with SpareParts. Objects of both classes store information about the specific piece of equipment or spare part. I've also made a superclass called "Loggable", which they inherit to be able to create logs about the use and maintainance of said object. The logs, however, are stored in a relational database. I've done it this way, because I need to create reports later on for the equipment and spare parts based on the logs. So the "class hierarchy" is pretty much like: SimpleItem Loggable |------+-----| | Equipment and the same for SparePart At the moment, I'm not sure this is the right approach. My judgement may be clouded since I come from the relational-DB world. 1) Should Equipment and SparePart be classes or perhaps instead tables in my RDBMS? (ATM they are classes to facilitate the history/undo functionality in Zope) 2) Should I make it all as classes (including the Log)? 3) How do you make relations between objects in Zope? (For use in eg. reporting) 4) I'm going to make a scheduled "event handler" that sends out mail messages based on the latest log entries. This needs to be able to find an object in ZODB based on the log entry - how do I make this connection? I deliberately did not include any source code, since this is more a discussion of techniques and principles. If any of you wish to see some of my code before answering, please say so. I hope you can help me. TIA - Carsten
