Hi Larry, I think there is a problem with the binaries included in the helper app because I had to install it as follows (please note that I test two windows 2000 machines and both of them had the same problem): 1) Install the helper app 2) Install python 2.2.x 3) Install the Python Win32 Extensions for Python 2.2 It seems that the last step replaces the dlls included with zopeedit and repares the problem; however, there is other problems you should know: 1) If you exit from word, excel, or powerpoint without saving changes before, it doesn't matters if you answer the question "Do you want to save changes?" with "Yes", your document won't be saved into the ZODB. So, you had better save before exiting. 2) You had better not work with Excel documents. The first time it will work perfectly, but when trying to edit the sheet a second time, you will get an error message: "FATAL ERROR: (-2147418111, 'Call was rejected by calle.', None, None) and if you are working with webdav locks, the lock won't get away, even if you restart zope. I have already wrote an e-mail to the author, but I didn't get an answer. I guess it's difficult to fix it since it seems that Microsoft doesn't follows the Webdav standard. Anyway, if you're wondering about my "ZopeEdit.ini", here it's: [general] editor = "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" "%1" save_interval = 1 cleanup_files = 1 use_locks = 0 always_borrow_locks = 1 reload_on_save = 1 [content-type:application/msword] extension=.doc editor = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE" "%1" [content-type:application/vnd.ms-excel] extension=.xls editor = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL.EXE" "%1" [content-type:application/x-msexcel] extension=.xls editor = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL.EXE" "%1" [content-type:application/vnd.ms-powerpoint] extension=.ppt editor = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\POWERPNT.EXE" "%1" [content-type:application/x-mspowerpoint] extension=.ppt editor = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\POWERPNT.EXE" "%1" Regards, Josef

Cookie crumbler and VHM
by drew nichols 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

Hi, I have converted a zope site (using CC authentication) to virtual hosting. Now I can't authenticate. The request['AUTHENTICATION_PATH'] has the VHM appended to the end so i guess this is the problem. I also see from the mailing lists that it could also be apache truncating the cookies. Any clues please? tia Drew

threading and database connections

Using MySQL and Zope. Anyone know what happens when more than one Zope thread wants to access MySQL (or any database) at the same time? Do the database adaptors serialize?

FQ Path Names in container
by Roy Rapoport 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

Goal: Serve 'protected' documents via a Python Script in Zope. The concept is that you'll actually access the script and, if it decides you're authorized, will give you the documents. Problem: Returning a document that's in the same directory as the script is a no-brainer -- return container['docname'] works perfectly well. Returning a document that is in a relative directory is also not a problem -- Assuming this directory structure: / A B C.pdf (1) D A B C.pdf (2) C.pdf (3) script Then if we're accessing /D/script and returning 'container['C.pdf']' we'll return C.pdf(3); if we return 'container['A/B/C.pdf'] then we'll return C.pdf(2) (acquisition is a beautiful thing). However, returning 'container['A/B/C.pdf'] gives me a key error. This makes it rather difficult to access C.pdf(1). I have two possibilities: A) Figure out how to use fully qualified paths in my return statement; B) Do something interesting with acquisition and URLs -- something like calling /A/B/D/script, having script figure out its context is actually /A/B, and then return the C.pdf in that directory. Unfortunately, reading both the Zope book and the Zope Web Application Development and Content Management book did not reveal to me how I'd go about doing it, and my random stumbling around and attempts to get this done have not worked successfully.

FYI: MailBoxer 2.2.6
by Maik Jablonski 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

Hi to all, I've just released MailBoxer 2.2.6 which fixes a critical bug when MailBoxer is used for moderated lists. What is a MailBoxer? -------------------- MailBoxer is a lightweight ZOPE-Product to run mailinglists, newsletters and mailarchives. Its main idea is to give you an extensible framework for building mailinglist-based applications with the power of ZOPE. Out of the box it provides a full featured mailinglist/ newsletter/ mailarchiving-framework. The German Zope User Group runs all mailinglists with MailBoxer. Changes ------- * added a keepdate-parameter. Useful if you want to import mailarchives with MailBoxer. Thanks to Eric Barroca! * fixed critical bug: a cc to a moderated list produced a mail-loop. Thanks to Sebastian Hoffmann. Download -------- http://zoped.de/MailBoxer Demo ---- Do you want to the a mirror of the zope(a)zope.org-mailinglist? http://www.dzug.org/mailinglisten/zope-org-zope/ Features -------- * MailBoxer is easy to use and to configure and can handle mime-encoded mails with attachments. * People can subscribe/unsubscribe your list by sending an "signed" email with a specified email-subject (not body!!!) to the same address where the postings will go. No more hazzles with passwords and unsubscriptions. * You can customize and disable subscription and unsubscription. * All mailinglists can be moderated. * Mails can be archived (even with attachments) by a combination of dates & threads with customizable set of headers. * User-friendly archive with powerful search-interface and a "one-thread-one-screen"-view with snipped signatures etc. * By defining a spamlist, dirty content or misconfigured vacation-notifications can be identified and will not be forwarded by MailBoxer. * MailBoxer can convert all mails to plain-text and strip of attachments if you have read enough HTML-Mails and useless attachments. * MailBoxer provides automatic bounce-detection and a management-interface for bounced addresses. * MailBoxer talks directly to your SMTP-Server. This is very fast compared using the standard MailHost.send-method (no more overhead for connecting & closing the channel every time you send a mail). It should be fast enough for even large lists. * MailBoxer provides many hooks to integrate it into your own Zope-applications. Cheers, Maik

Zope.org migration
by BZ 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

It seems like the Zope.org migration is very painful as it has been spitting out errors since last night. Is there anyway they can go back to the old look until it is working correctly? It just looks very bad for Zope to have the main site giving errors for so long. BZ

filefield value when empty
by Marie Robichon 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

Hi everyone, I figured this one out for myself and thought maybe someone would be interested in the answer. I found that even when no value is added to the field using the browse button, (and even despite defining a default value) the REQUEST shows a 'FileUpload instance object'. Therefore you have to check that the filename attribute of this fileupload instance object is empty: if getattr(file, 'filename')!="": do something ........ Hope this can be helpful to someone, Marie
