Dividing Products into separate Folders
by volker.wend＠efgbsh.de 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

He folks, I have two folders for Products, one for stuff that comes with Zope and one for stuff that I add to the installation later on. It seems to work fine but I get the following error message in the logfile: ------ 2003-04-22T18:14:40 PROBLEM(100) OFS.Application Duplicate Product name After loading Product '__init__.py' from 'E:\\Zope\\Products', I skipped the one in 'E:\\ZopeSite\\lib\\python\\Products'. Any Explanations ? Can I ignore that one ? Thanks, Volker Wend

I checked the logs and then some HTML. We did tell the web designers (customer's choice of design agency) to reference all images with absolute url (well, always start with the slash, e.g "/images/navigation/home.gif", but they didn't (so they are: "images/navigation/home.gif"). And there are hardly any 304 codes in the log. Would in this case an Accelerated HTTP Cache Manager help? I am afraid I would need to skim through about 100 files and change the HTML otherwise.

>Longer term, you'll want to read up on debugging in Python. Agreed! >For now, let's just kludge something together. Thank you, yet again I put your code into the External Method, and called it just before the loop. If I return lines_check(lines), then it just sends back: lines is type: lines has value: Yet if I replace that - in exactly the same place, with return lines, then it returns the expected value of lines. If I meddle with lines_check, and just let it do: return lines Then it returns the value, but if it just does: return 'lines has value: %s' % lines Then it does not return anything! ???????

RE: [Zope] HTML

Since Zope publishes HTML, all you need to do is save the source you get back when you make a request. If you need to save a lot of docs, you may want to look into a spider that will save a local copy of any web site you point it too. Really, this isn't a Zope issue at all. If you want to save the HTML Zope produces, you need only do so. Dylan

RE: [Zope] Preventing duplicates in ZCatalog
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 23 Apr '03

I've never understood why anyone would use CatalogAware given that CatalogPathAware works quite well. Is there even any reason to justify its existence in Zope at all other than backward-compatibility?

A likely candidate it >"Products.ZCatalog.CatalogAware". Replace this by "Products.ZCatalog.CatalogPathAware". I already use Zope 2.6.1. Hm.. CMFCore's PortalContent imports Products.ZCatalog.CatalogAware, not CatalogPathAware. Probably, this is the source of my problem, then? ( CMF 1.3.1, the latest. ) May I ask why CMF imports CatalogAware instead of CatalogPathAware? CMF people should know better than that. I just want to know if there's any particular reason why, since I'm basing my own applications on CMF.

What do we want in the way of Zope binary distributions?
by Chris McDonough 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

Hi, With the new Zope 2.7 install and configuration stuff (currently on the Zope trunk), ZC needs to redo its mechanisms for Zope binary distribution. Currently, ZC distributes binaries for Win32, Linux, and Solaris on Zope.org. The Linux and Solaris distributions are in the form of a tarball containing binaries. The Win32 distribution contains an executable installer generated by WISE. I'd like to propose that ZC drops the "generic" Linux binary distribution in favor of an RPM distribution that would be "guaranteed" to run on the latest Red Hat release or the one before it, but might also work on Mandrake, etc. It's getting a bit scary to try to distribute a "generic" Linux binary release (who knows what's different about each?), and we really don't have the resources to do a functional test of the binary release on every Linux platform. Additionally, most Linux distributions typically come with all the required tools to compile Zope from source, and compiling Zope from source is now a matter of 'configure; make; make install'. If people don't want to do this, they can install the RPM or their distribution's repackaging of Zope (ala Debian). I also propose we drop the Solaris binary distribution in favor of providing instructions to Solaris folks about how to compile and install the source package. This might be the most contentious proposal: I really have no idea how many people use the Solaris binary distro. The Win32 binary release should likely stay much like it is. I'm not sure about the "upgrade" release packages. Does anybody use these? Comments? - C

Chris, thanks again for your help, although I'm not sure I know exactly what you mean (my stupidity as opposed to anything else!). There is very little to this External Method: def run(self) REQUEST = self.REQUEST fileID = REQUEST.fileId lines = REQUEST.lines import sping.stringformat from sping.PDF import PDFCanvas from sping.PS import PSCanvas filename="c:/zopepdf/"+fileID canvas = PDFCanvas(size=(350,200), name=filename) y = 20 # return lines works fine here for line in lines: # this is the line where the error is reported. # print line here also generates the same __getitem__ AttributeError sping.stringformat.drawString(canvas, line, 10,y) y = y + 20 canvas.flush() canvas.save() # If trying to print line I try returning printed here instead return fileID I don't know what other debugging I can do, so would be grateful for suggestions. Again, if I define, or over-write the lines variable inside the External Method, (ie lines=[], lines.append ...) then it works fine, its just when it retrieves lines from request, or it is passed as a parameter.

Dynamic url generation for content with zope site
by Patel, Tejash 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

Hello All, Need some help, trying to dynamically generate links on my homepage with content that is ftp-ed to my site. I have played with cataloging items, I am having no problems with news_items, file, document etc. \ The problem is when I try to use 3rd party products. IE: MSWORDDOCUMENT. I believe the product MSWORDDOCUMENT needs to be index into the catalog when a new content of type MSWORDDOCUMENT is created. And if edited it needs to be reindex. I don't know if this is the best practice to accomplish my goal? Thanks in advanced. TP
