Mailing list integration
by Marc Burgauer 07 May '03

07 May '03

Is there any mailing list software for which there is decent integration into Zope? I tried getting a hold of a recent or complete product, but can't seem to find anything. I need to run mailing lists with a web front end for an archive browser and for users to change their settings (subscribe, unsubscribe, digest, all mails, announcements from the list owner only, vacation settings, etc.), also the list has to be moderated (ideally with moderation via web AND mail, but web alone as preference if only one of the options is there). I had a look at Zmailman, but the link given for the product's home http://demo.iuveno-net.de/iuveno/Products/ZMailman/ is broken and I could not find any hints of the product's existence on the site of iuveno-net.de. Is this product still alive and where? I think Mailman comes close to what we need, if I could find a decent integration with Zope. Cheers Marc

Zope and mxDateTime
by Derek Basch 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hi, Can anyone tell me the best way to use mxDateTime with Zope in a windows enviroment? I can never seem to get Zope to find the mx modules. Do I have to compile the mx source, using a C compiler, to my zopedir\lib\python folder? Thanks, Derek Basch __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.

TaintedString, how is it determined, where ?
by Jean-Francois.Doyon＠CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hello, I am playing with the html_quote function, trying to get it to quote ALL html entities, not just the basic ones cgi.escape() handles. I've got that part working well enough, though I had to modify Zope code ... Is it possible to monkey patch (or in any other way modify) from a product a function (and not a class) ? The problem I discovered is that only "tainted strings" are passed to html_quote. BUT what Zope determines to be "tainted" isn't "wide" enough for my needs. In my case, strings with latin-1 accents are not deemed "tainted", which means they don't get quoted by the code I have in place (Which would replace "é" with "é"). Could anybody point me in the right direction? Where do I find the code that determines whether a <dtml-var> used variable (such as Title) is deemed tainted? I could just write a new PythonScript or something like that to do it ... But since the architecture is allready in place to do it, I'd rather just modify that. Also, the documentation for html_quote really suggests this shuld be the behavior. Either the behavior of the function, or the docs, should be ammended to be clearer. Thanks!

RE: [Zope] Zope sizing and Scalability
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 07 May '03

Size won't be an issue with DirectoryStorage, but number of objects is a more important factor... If that 200GB is comprised of lots of small objects, there are still penalties for storing filesystem metatdata for many, many files (i.e. tens of millions) - this is why it is recommended to use ReiserFS with DirectoryStorage.

DBTab might be worth a look too, for "mounting" different storages at different zope folders. i've never run a storage that big so this opinion is worth the paper it's printed on ;-) -- Paul Winkler home: http://www.slinkp.com "Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!" _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

sergio, try to keep to the list - you'll get more help ;-) On Wed, May 07, 2003 at 09:19:21AM -0400, Cueto, Sergio wrote: > Can I use SQL2000 as the database in zope?

You can access any database from Zope - if you want to store information in tables. You can access several different external relational databases from one zope. But the Zope Object Database (ZODB) is actually one the great features of Zope - you can just store objects without needing to convert from objects to rows. Most commonly people use the ZODB for storing templates, logic, etc and then connect to an external RDBMS to work with existing or tabular data. Zope makes this easy. If you really really want to use an RDBMS to store the actual ZODB, you can search for AdaptableStorage or DirectoryStorage, but that's quite advanced stuff and you'd need a good reason to do it. What are you actually trying to do? F.

Re: Transfer directory from old Zope version to new Zope version.

> > Simply copy the Zope/var/Data.fs from your old Zope to the new Zope. > > That's it. Not necessary, there are some cases on which this won't work. I personally had some problems when trying to do this. For example if you have ZClasses that inherit from ObjectManager. I adviced you to make a backup of your Data.fs first and then try to overwrite the Data.fs of the new zope. If this doesn't work, see some possible issues that I found here: http://www.zope.org/Members/jmeile/upgradingZope If you have other problem not mentioned here, then search the archives.

Zope sizing and Scalability
by Andrew Howe 07 May '03

07 May '03

I am looking for some information regarding sizing of the Zope database its scalability, how big it can grow without performance issues beginning to impact on it etc. I have read the documentation in the manual regarding how to set up a number of servers but it does not give any indication as to how big a zope installation can be. I am after qualified numbers if anyone has any. Hope someone can help. Andrew
