[ANN] TextIndexNG 1.09 released
by Andreas Jung 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

I am pleased to announce the release of TextIndexNG 1.09 TextIndexNG is a new pluggable index for the ZCatalog and is the most feature complete solution for fulltext inexing under Zope. TextIndexNG enhances the fulltext indexing capabilities of Zope by providing the following features: * support for document converters (HTML, PDF, WinWord, PowerPoint, Postscript). Custom converters can be easily added * stemmer support for 12 languages * optional support for right truncation * similarity search (soundex, metaphone support) (for English) * NEAR search * phrase search * pluggable query parsers (two parsers included) * stop words support * new test tab for interactive testing * faster than Zopes old TextIndex * full unicode support (new) * normalization support (new) * new similarity algorithm: double metaphone (new) * new TXNGSplitter * new vocabulary browser Changes since 1.08: * apply_index() now uses the default encoding choosen for a TextIndexNG instead of iso-8859-15 (thanks to Myrosav Opyr) * lexicons and storages now used IITreeSets? instead of IISet?. This should reduce memory consumption of TextIndexNG instances. Existing instances running TextIndexNG should be reindexed. * getEntryForObject() now returns a sequence of all index worde instead of "XXX distinct words" (standard behaviour of all Zope indexes). * words removed from a reindexed documents were not properly removed for the word-doc storage (means you could search for removed words and got hits although the words was no longer inside the document). Thanks to Yuppie, Tres Seavers and Dieter Maurer for pointing out this problem. It is highly recommended to reindex directly after the upgrading Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/textindexng -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Andreas Jung http://www.andreas-jung.com - - EMail: andreas at andreas-jung.com - - "Life is too short to (re)write parsers" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

problem with superValues
by Steffen Hausmann 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Hi, Im trying to send an E-Mail within an external python script each time an object is edited. Therefor I use superValues to locate the MailHost object. mailhost=getattr(self, self.superValues('Mail Host')[0].id) If the object that sends the mail already exists anything goes fine. But if the object is edited for the first time (via the __init__ procedure that calls the edit procedure) superValues can't find the MailHost object (IndexError: list index out of range). Any ideas what's going wrong? MfG Steffen -- That you're not paranoid doesn't mean they aren't right behind you.

dynamically generated TAL not being interpreted
by N. Thomas 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

We have a script that generates TAL. The problem is that the content is not being interpeted as TAL by Zope, but rather as raw HTML. A search through the mailing lists archives found a posting from last September where someone was trying to do something similar. According to one of the replies, the HTML is supposed to have the TAL namespace declaration, so I changed my code to produce something like this at the top: <html xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal" metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master"> But the problem persists. Does anyone know how I can do this? thanks, thomas -- N. Thomas nthomas(a)cise.ufl.edu Etiamsi occiderit me, in ipso sperabo

VHM and SSL problems
by AM 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

I have a ZServer behind Apache 2.0 setup running for quite some time now. Today morning the Secure portion just stopped working. The rewrite entry in my ssl.conf file is: http://191.168.10.172:8080/VirtualHostBase/https/nbs.neuro-bs.com:443/nbs_o… which for all purposes is valid. Any ideas??

Latest stable version / combination
by Michael Lewis 08 Mar '03

08 Mar '03

I'm using Zope 2.44, Python 2.13 and Apache 1.3.22 as recommended by Dieter, and everything is working fine. I would like to upgrade Zope to be able to use ZCTextIndex to enable exact phrase searching and was wondering what versions of each to get.

by the way, please do not cross-post to several lists. i am restricting this to the zope list because it is more appropriate. i don't think you will have any success tring to "use" user folder methods that have to do with authentication outside of the user folder itself, period. from your description it sounds like all you need is a user folder implementation that handles cookies. i suggest you investigate the CookieCrumbler product (if you are married to your specific user folder, that is) or you use a user folder that has cookie hanling built in. i'm not sure what that "dont want to use any products that does not come with a clean Zope install" is all about. most zope products install by dropping them in the Products folder of either your instance or in the zope software tree. it doesn't get any cleaner than that. jens On Saturday, Mar 8, 2003, at 12:30 US/Eastern, Sondre Rønjom wrote: > > I'm creating a python product - which needs to be authenticated; and I > dont want to use any products that does not come with a clean Zope > install > - so I user Simple User Folder and define two roles admin user and > ordinary user.

I'm creating a python product - which needs to be authenticated; and I dont want to use any products that does not come with a clean Zope install - so I user Simple User Folder and define two roles admin user and ordinary user. I just want a user to login via login form, check username and password with the acl_users user list and set the user to AUTHENTICATED_USER if username and password is correct. Actually I just want to access the methods which the pop-up authenticator use when one does /manage. To me it looks like validate() from AccessControl/User.py does this for you, but Im not sure how to use the method. /sondre On Sat, 8 Mar 2003, Jens Vagelpohl wrote: > > what exactly is it you are trying to achieve? maybe someone can help if > > you let us know what the real motivation is. > > > > jens > > > > > > On Saturday, Mar 8, 2003, at 11:42 US/Eastern, Sondre Rønjom wrote: > > > > > Ive been looking through AccessControl/User.py to understand the > > > validate() methods paramteres.

Verbose Security
by baiewola＠netscape.net 08 Mar '03

08 Mar '03

Where does Verbose Security show information about failed access under Zope 2.5.x? The readme says "All of this information appears in the exception message when access is denied." However, I haven't been able to find anything in the traceback except the usual information. Do I have to be running in debug mode? __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.

standard_error_message frustrations
by Cameron Laird 08 Mar '03

08 Mar '03

Let me get this straight: to work as desired, a standard_error_message must be a DTML Method, correct, but not a Python Script? Standard_error_message isn't powerful enough to quiet Zope about what it knows, right? That is, even if standard_error_message contains, for example, some minimally short text, clients will still see the initial "Site Error ..." and trailing "Troubleshooting suggestions ..."? There's no way to eliminate those? I'm surprised I don't find more in the archives about standard_error_message. I conclude either: 1. other developers don't find exception-handling as important as I regard it; or 2. I don't understand how to search the archives properly; or 3. both.
