index_html rendering problem under VHM
by Jason Wertz 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

I'm in the process of testing a VHM / Apache installation of Zope and I have no problems with setting up the rewrite rules to work. I'm running into problems testing it though... Accessing my site like this with index_html appended to the url renders the page... http://www.dccc.edu:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.dccc.edu: 80/VirtualHostRoot/commcorp/index_html but if I leave off the index_html and just ask for the directory the page is a mess...you can see it for yourself. I'm only testing this by manually entering the URL so if this will be fixed by the Apache rewrite rules when it goes live please let me know. Rendering any other page by name works fine, it is only when the server has to pull up the default page for a directory that this happens. I'm using Zope 2.5.1 and my site is in my Zope root not a subfolder (moving it to a subfolder didn't seem to fix anything). Do I need to write a rewrite rule to accomodate for this or is there an easier way?

ZOPE IN WINDOWS, ANY WARNINGS I SHOULD KNOW? .RE: [Zope] crystal reports
by Ramon Linan 03 Jul '03

03 Jul '03

thank you Edward, what you say make a lot of sense, although, I will try to do that, I am sure is going to take me some time because I am just starting with zope. I have another question, I have found some people and books who don't advice at all to use Zope on windows system, especially with mysql for windows, is there any problem? I would like to know a real reason for not to (especially if I am going to be using crystal report). Also, I have read in a couple of books that the database that comes with Zope it is not very strong, I want to do a "project" to share pictures with my family (on the other side of the Atlantic), is there any reason for not using the DB that comes with zope. Thank you very much for making this learning experience lot quicker.

If you were to run the zope server on windows and install the complete python-win32 utilities you could connect python to Crystal Reports via COM/ActiveX and make calls to the Crystal Reports API. If you could then get the Crystal Reports COM/ActiveX control to spit out HTML you could then capture that and use it as you need it. The above would require at least writing some of your own external methods or a product. Plus you would have to understand COM programming under python-win32 (which isn't really that hard). A few years ago I made an Outlook/Exchange <-python -> XMLRPC gateway. It used python-win32's COM support and the DMAPI/MAPI (whatever they are called) APIs of Outlook/Exchange and exposed it via XMLRPC. It was neat.

Exporting zodb data (Urgent)
by Sukhwinder Singh 03 Jul '03

03 Jul '03

Hello, (I posted this question to zope-db(a)zope.org but no one replied so I am posting it here as it is urgent.) I have a web application which is written by some other person using zope/zodb/python. Now client wants to write this application using php/mysql. But existing data stored in zodb database has to be exported to mysql database. Zodb uses fileStorage to store data. I have tried zope's xml export but that doesn't make any sense to me. Now problem is I don't have much knowledge about zope. I have only basic knowledge that everything is stored as an object. I also have some knowledge of python. I have searched the web for any information about zodb but could not find much. I have only 2-3 days so I cannot learn zope then zodb and then python. My problems are: 1. How do I identify which of these objects store data(tables) because zope stores everything (images, dhtml files, folders etc) as objects so I want only objects which store data(rows) and then how many of these tables are there? 2.How do I determine how many fields are there in each data object and what are their names and data types. 3. How do I extract data from these objects and then store that to some intermediate format (csv) and then import it to mysql. So what I want to do is introspection. I don't know where to start. There are many sub-folders under this web applications. I know that I have to use external methods and I have tried it like this: from ZODB import FileStorage, DB storage = FileStorage.FileStorage('data.fs') db = DB( storage ) connection = db.open() root = connection.root() // up to this point it works. now when I try something like: students = root['students'] error message is displayed that students not found. For this reason I want to determine in which objects data is stored so that I can get its values. I also have to determine the name of the attributes (fields) used in this objects so that I can create mysql table fields of the same name and data type. If possible, please give me complete code which I can just copy and paste in external method file. If that is no possible then provide some other working example or explain the steps in detail as I don't have much knowledge about zope and co.

by Jaroslav Lukesh 03 Jul '03

03 Jul '03

Hi all, I want to delete all images recursively from my web tree by using this recursive DTML Method delimage (errorfull): <dtml-in "objectItems(['Folder', 'ZipFolder', 'Image' ])" skip_unauthorized> <dtml-if "objectValues()=='Image'"> DEL: <dtml-var absolute_url><br> <dtml-call "manage_delObjects(id)"> <dtml-else> <dtml-with sequence-item> <dtml-var delimage> </dtml-with> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> Main part: <dtml-in "objectItems(['Folder', 'ZipFolder', 'Image' ])" skip_unauthorized> DEL: <dtml-var absolute_url><br> <dtml-call "manage_delObjects(id)"> </dtml-in> Main part gives me errors and delete nothing. I was try many ways to delete objects, but no success. And checking for image <dtml-if "objectValues()=='Image'"> does not work too. Would you like to correct my errors, please? Many thanks, Jaroslav Lukesh, K-net

I did not see this on the list, although I sent it 2 days ago. A colleague has had this same problem with the Zopelist. Does anyone have any idea what causes it? Anyway, here's my real response... Sorry for my belated reply. We've implemented a password-change form and have a work-around to let users back into the system when they've locked themselves out. Rather than email the user their forgotten password, we have a two step process which allows them to change their password: First, it checks to make sure they are a valid user. If they are a valid user, it sends them an email. If they really want to change their password, they click a link in the email and their new password is mailed to them. The new password is randomly generated and annoying to encourage them to change it right away. If you haven't figured it out yet and want my code, email me directly. >harrisho02 wrote at 2003-6-27 18:16 +0800: > > We are learning Zope right now and have just 2 Q: > > Q1.
