Synchronizing Two (Disparate) Zope Installations
by Roy Rapoport 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

We'd love some sort of capability for comparing a directory (and all its contents and their contents etc) on one zope server with the same-named directory at a different path on a different Zope server -- in other words: http://server1/path1/to/RootDirectory vs. http://server2/path2/to/the/RootDirectory And ideally also easily synchronize them. ZSyncer, which is no longer in very active development, requires the directory path to be the same. Is there another product we might be able to use?

Can't build resource file for PCGI on Zope 2.7b1
by Aguido Horatio Davis 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

G'day, I am installing Zope on a server whose only Python is 2.3 and which is already running Apache on port 80. Port 80 is the only one that is permitted through our local firewalls, a small but significant percentage of the audience are outside the firewall, and the system administrator (who isn't me) refuses point-blank to permit the use of mod_fastcgi or mod_proxy. So I'm trying to build Zope 2.7b1 with PCGI support. When the dust settles on the "make build; make install" there is no Zope.cgi to be seen. The file doc/WEBSERVERS.txt has the intriguing sentence: To install PCGI, please get the PCGI support package from XXX, and read the pcgi/README.txt file from that package. and then blithely describes what to do once you _have_ a Zope.cgi file to play with. Can anybody point me at the mysterious XXX, or failing that, tell me how to coerce Zope 2.7 into coughing up a Zope.cgi file? Cheers, Horatio

inaccessible objects in my zope.org members folder
by Sean Gillies 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Am trying to update the content of my member folder. On the old zope.org I had created a DTML Document named 'index_html'. This is still hanging around but I can't find a way to edit it through the new zope.org site. It doesn't appear in the folder contents. Will it have to be manually removed from the ZODB?

Extrange behavior with numeric datatypes and decimal places
by Luis Mariano Luporini 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Hi list. I'm having a problem using the following: - Gentoo Linux - Zope 2.6.1 - Python 2.1.3 - psycopg 1.1.2 - zpsycopgda 1.1.2 - Postgresql 7.3.3 The situation is I'm trying to get a number (result of a division) rounded to two decimal places and can't get it to work. After some research, my problem can be simplified to this: If I run the query: select 3::numeric(10,2) in psql I get a result of 3.00 (normal and expected behavior) in zope I get a result of 3.0 (why just one decimal place?) How can I get around this. Is this a bug in psycopg or something like that? Anybody experienced this? Thanks in advance.

Zope Help System > API > File, ObjectManager is all I needed. Also, I'm copying this to the list, so that others can see. It's probably best to send things to the list, too. I might have been on vacation or hit by a bus or something. --jcc fyi, the second example can probably be shortened to:: if obj = container.Files[file.filename]: obj.update_data(file) else: container.Files.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFile(id='', title='', file=file) -- "My point and period will be throughly wrought, Or well or ill, as this day's battle's fought."

Re: [Zope] parameter transfer to a zsql-method (lists, dictionaries etc.)
by Elena Schulz 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Hi JCC, >I think your parameter construction is wrong. You're telling Zope that a list is a string, and furthermore, to iterate over a string, which won't work. In the ZSQLGuide I've got it says that ids:list:int indicates that ids is a list of integers. So columns:list:string should mean that columns is a list of strings. But even columns:list didn't work. After further investigation I think the parameter-parsing of zsql-methods is quite restricted and it's better to pass "complicated" structures via a single dictionary. I'll try that. But still I would like to know how it would work with lists and dtml_in constructs. Anyway some complete examples including the parameter part would enhance the ZSQLGuide a lot. -- anyway thanks for your answer, Elena
