by Matthew T. Kromer 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

ZOPE 2.6.2 Beta 5 Released Zope 2.6.2b5 represents a development step in the next Zope release formed with a large number of community contributions. You may download Zope 2.6.2b5 from Zope.org: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.6.2b5/ Users of the Zope source release should note that Python 2.1.3 is now the required platform. Python 2.1.3 includes a fix to an issue that could cause crashes in Zope. Users who upgrade from source MUST RUN a |make clean| and |make| command to build the proper binaries correctly; distutils will skip compilation of the library modules needed for Zope and will cause errors if they are not up to date. Particular features of interest in Zope 2.6.2b5: * Fixed an error where ZClasses that subclassed ObjectManager would not load. * Fixed a case where objects trying to check access rights on behalf of another user were unable to do so. * Fixed memory leak with Page Templates * Python 2.2 compatibility fixes * Back ports of BTrees fixes * Back ports of ZODB fixes relating to the packing of storage, where a packed database could contain an UNDO transaction which referred to data which had been discarded by the pack * A fix for fsrecover.py which prevented it from recovering any data * Fixes for collector issues 256, 514, 683, 814, 816, 823, 875, 882, 892, 902, 928, 937, 939, 954, 956, 959, 964 For more information on what is new in this release, see the CHANGES.txt and HISTORY.txt files for the release: * http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.6.2b5/CHANGES.txt * http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.6.2b5/HISTORY.txt For more information on the available Zope releases, guidance for selecting the right distribution and installation instructions, please see: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Misc/InstallingZope.html -- Matt Kromer Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/

Re: [Zope] Why doesn't this work?

I didn't have a second guess. :-) Actually, though going to using __bobo_traverse__ introduces a bizarre new wrinkle to the problem. If you access the object (in DTML) as: Normal HTTP request (i.e. just put it in the HTML): """ <a href="MyContainer/Green">Link to Green wrapper object.</a> """ that works (with __bobo_traverse__ defined). And if you define an accessor method like the "get_obj" method I defined, you can call the object using it: """ <dtml-var expr="restrictedTraverse('MyContainer').get_obj('Green').index_html()" > """ that works. BUT """ <dtml-var expr="restrictedTraverse('MyContainer/Green').index_html()" > """ DOES NOT work! You get the authentication failure, just as I did in the case I posted earlier. This is with __bobo_traverse__ doing basically the same thing that get_obj() did in my example (you have to change the arguments around, because it expects this calling profile: def __bobo_traverse__(self, REQUEST=None, name=None): "Traversal hook" # your code here return acquisition_wrapped_object I can of course avoid calling it this way (it's not hard to restrict myself to using restrictedTraverse on the "real" object), but it is very weird. I remember from when I first started poking around with this that I discovered that restrictedTraverse uses a "fake request", and I now think that must be at the heart of the matter. But I still don't understand it. I had been thinking that it was ultimately because of the problem of returning the dynamically created wrapper object, which is why I wrote the PBTest product to separate that problem out. But apparently that's not it, since (after applying your help) that part works okay. Any thoughts on this?

RE: [Zope] getting CVS files for CMF, Plone and Zope?
by Kelley, Sean 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

After retrying many times it seems like a good solution would be to have all of these items in the collective available outside the CVS on download pages of CMF and Plone so that people can not only get to them, but know they exist. If you don't know better you would not know many of these things are available. -----Original Message----- From: Chris McDonough [mailto:chris.mcdonough@cox.net] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 5:06 PM To: Kelley, Sean Cc: 'zope(a)zope.org' Subject: Re: [Zope] getting CVS files for CMF, Plone and Zope? Sourceforge is experiencing serious performance problems on their CVS servers. They've limited pserver access to a fixed number of incoming connections, which is typically maxed out during the day. I suspect that if it keeps up this way, people will start to migrate to other hosting providers. In the meantime, all you can do is keep retrying. - C On Fri, 2003-07-25 at 18:00, Kelley, Sean wrote: > I need to know how to get CVS items for zope.

The documentation covers Zope 2.5. Just try replacing the <dtml-sqlvar> with a normal <dtml-var> for the variable containing you (215,216) string... cheers, Chris

Thanks, I was already thinking about changing to reStructuredText. But first I will try the locale....

Using MySQL from a product
by Carsten Gehling 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

I amd creating a product, that needs to communicate with MySQL (inserting/updating records and making select queries). I've installed MySQLdb and Z MySQLDA and can easily create connections from ZMI. I don't know however, how to communicate directly with MySQL from my product. Should I rely on a connection created in ZMI? Or do I create my own connection - if so: how? And how do I make the queries? - Carsten

Zope 2.7: You are not allowed to access 'SESSION' in this context
by Alec Munro 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

I have a page template that is accessed via restrictedTraverse(), and gives me an Unauthorized error when I try to access request/SESSION. It doesn't seem to be directly related to restrictedTraverse(), because I switched it for unrestrictedTraverse() and had the same problem. Thanks, Alec Munro

Newbie Q: How do you backup the data? Where is everything anyway?
by Frank Joerdens 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Greetings! I just installed Zope and Plone and am trying to get the hang of it by playing with it and working my way through the available documentation. I just figured out that folders, paths and files (e.g. /thefirst/portal_skins/plone_styles/ploneCustom.css - "thefirst" is the Plone site I just created) don't actually represent actual files in the file system (this is on a Linux box), but seem to be stored somwhere else, apparently in the ZODB (my reading seems to suggest this). However, I don't know where this object database stores its information - var/Data.fs does not exist on my system (one article I found said that this was the place where the ZODB data was to be found) - and even if I found it, I'd still need to know how to back it up. With my favourit SQL database, PostgreSQL, for instance, you are disencouraged to simply copy the directories where PostgreSQL stores its data since this would break the transactional integrity (or you'd have to stop the server to do it which isn't really optimal . . . ). Thus you have a special utility, pg_dump, which dumps your data into flat files that can be read back into the server if need be. Hence my questions: Where are the data to be found and how do you back them up? Is there a way to read them out into a file/format that is not binary, that can be viewed with a text editor as a plain file? Regards, Frank

Funky dates
by Tom Scheidt 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Hi All, I just imported an old Zope folder with a bunch of DTML Documents into Zope 2.6.1. I need to sort them by date, but the modification date has changed on all of them to today. But, all of the Documents have date property, unfortunately, the date property is not behaving like one anymore. If I try to use <dtml-var date fmt=pCommon> I get: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: not all arguments converted If I try to use <dtml-var date fmt=%A> I get: Error Type: ValueError Error Value: unsupported format character 'A' (0x41) at index 1 Anyone recognize the problem or know a fix? Thanks in advance. ---------------------------- Tom Scheidt tscheidt(a)nyc.rr.com ----------------------------
