lines property size
by Michele Ruberl 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Hello, I'm storing a list of people filling a form in my Zope site in a folder property of type "lines". Now the number of lines has started to increase a lot... I know this is not the best choice, but I didn't expect the users to be so responsive at the time. Is there any limit to the size (= number of lines) of such property ? (just to be relaxed while developing a better way to store it, e.g. a TinyTable...) Thanks Mik

Using pydoc or epydoc on Zope products
by Sean Gillies 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Greetings, I have a Zope product (http://zope.org/Members/sgillies/zmapserver) and am trying to put together documentation using pydoc or epydoc. Problem is that each of these croak when they inspect my packages which import: import Globals from Globals import Persistent pydoc reports ImportError: cannot import name Persistent and epydoc reports similarly. I am certain that I have PYTHONPATH set up correctly. I've been using ZopeTestCase extensively in development, so I think I have a good handle on the environment needed to import Zope. Can pydoc/epydoc be used for my purposes only within the context of a live Zope? Am I going to have to create a Zope instance as in a ZopeTestCase and then run pydoc/epydoc against the code in Products? I'd really like to hear of any kind of solution. thanks, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://www.frii.com/~sgillies

It is lame attack. My zope mail me all errors and exactly these errors are in 80% of all.

Sometimes it cause zope stops to responding or go to death (in windows occurs 1-2 times per week, under Linux I was run zope in wild inet without proxy for one month without problem :-).

(sorry that's probably my quota of questions tonight I > know!) :-) Yes, today I was find that info in early morning somewhere at www.zopera.org (i think, not sure), but it is in french. But I think that these infos are in zope.org too, but use google for that searching. I mean old zope site, not new, because new site has problems with howto and products section (it shows only first 100 instead all). Regards JL.

Duplicated keys in a BTreeFolder2
by Thierry Florac 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Hi, I currently use a custom subclass of BTreeFolder2 to store my site's users profiles (currently 3700). I've noticed several problems : - several keys (= user ids) are duplicated in this folder ; in the ZMI, these duplicated keys appear at the start of the list, unordered. - some keys are duplicated more than once ; if I try to delete one of them, the other duplicated keys are kept and can't be deleted, because the object doesn't exist !!! - if I try to cut a duplicated object and paste it into another folder, I receive an error message, saying that I'm trying to paste an object from a foreign database connection !!! So here are my questions : - is it a bug in BTreeFolder2 ?? Can I avoid this ? - are duplicated keys pointing to the same object or no ? - is it possible to repair this, without losing currently stored objects ?? Thanks for any help...

dtml-in format
by Ben Bush 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

I would like to use dtml-in to iterate through some results in a python script. I am not sure what format I need to put the results into in my python script to be able to reference them in the <dtml-in> tags. I am currently trying to return a dictionary but that does not seem to work. Here is how I have it setup. I have a DTML-method with a DTML-IN block that trys to printout the <dtml-var name> variable. <dtml-in currentItems> <dtml-var name> </dtml-in> The object currentItems is a python script. Here is a copy of it. I print out the return results and it goes back as a list with a dictionary per item. ## Script (Python) "current_items" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace= ##bind script=script ##bind subpath=traverse_subpath ##parameters= ##title= ## # Get a list of the current items in the cart and return it back in a table format # Provide access to session data session=context.REQUEST.SESSION # Only get items if the cart has been established if session.has_key('cart'): cart=session.get('cart', {}) cart_items=[] # Lets loop through our cart and get each item for product_id, quantity in cart.items(): item=context.get_item(product_id=product_id).dictionaries() for record in item: record['quantity']=quantity #print record, "<br>" cart_items.append(record) print cart_items return printed #return cart_items else: # No Cart established, no need to return anything return Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using ZPT with options/radio/checkboxes
by Chris Bruce 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Is there an easy way to use TAL/TALES to set the checked values of radios and checkboxes and the selected attribute of options? I am trying to find a clean example. For Instance: <select name="question_type" id="question_type"> <option value="Text" selected="selected">Text</option> <option value="TextArea">TextArea</option> <option value="ListSingle">ListSingle</option> <option value="ListMulti">ListMulti</option> <option value="ComboSingle">ComboSingle</option> <option value="Option">Option</option> <option value="Checkbox">Checkbox</option> </select> If the question_type was in the REQUEST object, how would I evaluate which one was selected? Same goes for radio buttons: <input type="radio" name="required" value="1" /> Yes <input name="required" type="radio" value="0" checked="checked" /> No and the 'required' was in the REQUEST object. I am trying to do this using TAL/TALES only. Thanks for any suggestions/code samples. Chris Chris Bruce Bionic Pixels LLC www.bionicpixels.com 323-660-8444 323-650-9926 fax 964 1/2 N.

Newbie question about zodb and script (python)
by Daniel Tartaglia 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

I'm pretty raw with zope so far but I'm trying to save information that is entered in a form, into a file. I tried pickling the object from in a scrip (python) and when that didn't work (because the shelf module was restricted) I tried using zodb instead but that module is restricted as well. I seem to remember reading something about these restrictions and how to get around them (something about calling actual python code?) but I can't find the reference any more. I have an zpt form to allow a person to enter his first and last name, how do I save the first and last name in a database file? The below doesn't work because I can't import FileStorage... from ZODB import FileStorage, DB class Person: pass storage = FileStorage( 'allDentest.fs' ) dbase = DB( storage ) connection = dbase.open() root = connection.root() # create a unique entry id id = '%d' % len(entries_folder.objectIds()) newDentist = Person() newDentist.id = len( dbase ) newDentist.firstName = first newDentist.lastName = last root[newDentist.id] = newDentist connection.get_transaction().commit() connection.close()

Re: [Zope] From FTP to FTP copy support?
by Jaroslav Lukesh 08 Aug '03

> Odesílatel: Chris Withers <chrisw(a)nipltd.com> > > it is possible to push zope FTP client to copy from one Zope FTP session to sorry, typo: server > > another FTP session? > > Didn't know Zope had an FTP client... Sory, server. > Can you try asking again, 'cos I couldn't quite parse what you're after... OK, I have FTP client with two FTP sessions at the same zope FTP server, but with different folders. One server client opens in active mode transfer, second in passive mode transfer. Data channell is not going into FTP client, only control channell. I was test it with sample files, this is OK, but folder and some files that I want to remote copy have error in creation via FTP (I must make it via ZMI). Result: Zope FTP server is able to serve that mode of access, but here are some known problems with objects creation. So I need to use ZMI :( Regards, JL.
