RE: [Zope] "SQL used:"
by Meilicke, Scott 12 Dec '02

Begin by adding a Z Search Interface from the ZMI, add both the search and report forms. That will generate an interface to the zSQL method, in either zpt or dtml, which you can then modify to suit your needs.

External Editor, with a little perl (or python) wrapper around Open Office (to clean the gradeau that OO seems to insist on adding) seems to work pretty well..... Got a few "non-technicals" using it now... Regrettably, havent been able to get it (the script) to work consistently with Windows. -- Bill Hewitt <wphewitt(a)attbi.com>

Hi all, I have a strange connection problem with Zope + Apache + mod_proxy. Sometimes users click on links in their browsers (regardsless which browser: IE 5.5 or Netscape 4.7). The browser waits for data, but nothing comes back. If the user stopps the transfer and click on the link again the transfer will be done immediatly. Has anybody an idea what to do ? Regards, Dirk

EFS is kind of an Ftp filesystem for XEmacs (and Emacs too AFAIK); you open files with "C-x C-f /sabaini@localhost:/some/path" for instance. You should configure some things: ;; prevent emacs from making backup files on the server -- ;; emacs backs up by renaming the file and writing a new one, ;; and we want the original objects '(efs-make-backup-files nil) ;; i found this to be more stable and it also helps with firewalls '(efs-use-passive-mode nil) > a mountable davfs would be awesome. See http://dav.sourceforge.net/ I had no luck in running the new version though (the old one isnt available anymore it seems) - peter.

Gotta add my bit. People often give short shrift to Solaris/SPARC running python, and pystone isn't a real world test but. As you know python perf/pystone seems directly attributable to Mhz so on my Dual 750Mhz Sun 280R A single pystone is on this box is Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 1.25 This machine benchmarks at 8000 pystones/second Whereas 16 pystones running simultaneously on the same box (note increased loop count to 50000 to be sure all jobs are likely to impact each other) Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.31 This machine benchmarks at 7923.93 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.31 This machine benchmarks at 7923.93 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.33 This machine benchmarks at 7898.89 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.31 This machine benchmarks at 7923.93 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.31 This machine benchmarks at 7923.93 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.31 This machine benchmarks at 7923.93 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.3 This machine benchmarks at 7936.51 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.31 This machine benchmarks at 7923.93 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.31 This machine benchmarks at 7923.93 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.32 This machine benchmarks at 7911.39 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.33 This machine benchmarks at 7898.89 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.33 This machine benchmarks at 7898.89 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.33 This machine benchmarks at 7898.89 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.33 This machine benchmarks at 7898.89 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.33 This machine benchmarks at 7898.89 pystones/second Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 6.35 This machine benchmarks at 7874.02 pystones/second So what we see is a single instance python is not really running as fast as it could possibly, and that the increase in load for each new process is not linear. If the tasks where running as fast as the CPU can do the job, then 4 pystone jobs should each take twice as long as two. So whilst solaris may not be the fastest pystone box for MHz/$ you may find you can do far more with it if you run a bunch of Zeo servers ;-) If you are running lot's of Zope servers then you need to look at what your horizontal scalability will be. (ie how does it handle a load from multiple processes.) This test obviously doesn't stress memory.

zope book volunteering
by Chris McDonough 12 Dec '02

12 Dec '02

I am incredibly happy to report that many folks are "signing up" to edits chapters of the Zope Book in preparation for the upcoming Zope 2.6.1 release! It's really beating the cynicism out of me! ;-) As a matter of fact, so many people are signing up that I'm getting *multiple* submissions of the same chapters! While this is a wonderful problem to have, I don't want folks to waste effort doing something that somebody else has already committed to. I have put up a page documenting signups and current status for the editing effort at http://www.zope.org/DocProjects/zope_book_signups/index_html . Hopefully this will serve as a place that I can keep track of who is doing what. Here are the chapters in the 2.6 edition of the Zope Book ( http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/index_html ) that are not yet "spoken for": Maintaining Zope Extending Zope (ZClasses) Advanced DTML Searching and Categorizing Content If anyone aspires to edit some Zope docs and get some fame and glory, the time is now. ;-) - C

increment value of self
by Davis Marques 11 Dec '02

11 Dec '02

I'm having a lot of problems with this one . I have an object (A) that has a method called increment, and a variable in the Basic propertysheet called count. I'd like other objects to be able to call that method, so that the A object increments the value of count + 1 when requested. The problem I'm having is that any other variables present in REQUEST are then also assigned to A. Here's what I have so far: """ increment """ c = context.count + 1 context.REQUEST.set('count',c) context.propertysheets.Basic.manage_editProperties(context.REQUEST)
