Problem with Tabs
by Sebastian Queißer 27 Oct '02

27 Oct '02

Hello! I have a class, which should create dynamically one tab for every folder, which was created in this class. When I click on one tab there should the index of the folder be displayed and also the other tabs. To get this work I wrote a method which changes the mange_options tuple for every object in my class and the class itself, so that the path of every tab is right. This method is called everytime the index of my class is called. Now the display of a tab should depend on a variable 'visible', which every folder gets, when he's created. This variable can be changed on the index of my class. After that the index of my class is reloaded and the deactivated tab should not appear. All this worked fine on Zope 2.5.0, but on every version higher there is a strange bug: When I change the variable and click the button, which should reload the index, the whole row of tabs disappears. When I reload the page manually by refreshing with my browser the row of tabs appears again how I wish it. In the Changelog of Zope I found the fllowing change in Version 2.5.1: - Propertysheets: Ids like 'values','keys' and 'values' are now forbidden as they break WebDAV functionality. Existing Propertysheets are not affected but I don't know, if there is a connection between this and my problem? Another less important problem is, how I can select one special tab to be emphasized. If anybody could tell me how to solve my problem, I would be very grateful. Sebastian Queißer

[ANN] TextIndexNG 1.06 released
by Andreas Jung 27 Oct '02

27 Oct '02

I have just released version 1.06 of TextIndexNG. This version is a bugfix release without any new features. V1.06 fixes some unicode-related problems using the ZMI and fixes a problem with the new TXNGSplitter. The software is available as usual from http://www.zope.org/Members/ajung/TextIndexNG (sources) or http://sf.net/projects/TextIndexNG (sources + TextIndexNGExtension binaries) It is strongly recommended to *recompile* and *reinstall* the TextIndexNG extensions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Andreas Jung http://www.andreas-jung.com - - EMail: andreas at andreas-jung.com - - "Life is too short to (re)write parsers" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Confusion Regarding Perl Script Object
by Jonathan Mark 26 Oct '02

26 Oct '02

The Zope Book describes Zope Perl Script objects and says that they are like Zope Python Script objects. The Zope Book does not, however, show any pictures of using the ZMI interface to create a Perl Script object or specifically mention the ZMI as a means of running Perl scripts. I have been able to run Perl scripts as external methods, but my ZMI does not show any Script(Perl) object the way it does the Script(Python) object. I am running Zope 2.4.3 (source release, python 2.1, linux2), python 2.1.3, and freebsd4. Are Perl Script objects accessible from the ZMI just as Script(Python) objects are? Or do I need to create an external method in order to run a Perl Script? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!

Zope on a Zaurus??
by David Mitchell 26 Oct '02

26 Oct '02

Hello list, Has anyone managed to get Zope running on a Zaurus (Linux PDA)? A few days ago, it occurred to me that, while it's painful juggling a laptop on a train, the Zaurus is fine and I could use the commute time for something other than looking at everyone else. Has anyone been down this path before me? Thanks in advance Dave Mitchell

Success! (was: efs fails to connect to any hosts)
by Skip Montanaro 26 Oct '02

26 Oct '02

About a week ago I complained to both the Zope and XEmacs beta mailing lists that I couldn't connect to remote hosts using efs from my Mac Powerbook running 10.2.1 and XEmacs 21.5.b9. Specifically, I wanted to connect to Zope's FTP server. I couldn't even get the server to detect a connection. I ignored the problem for several days then revisited it today. It turns out my efs-ftp-program-args were set incorrectly. The default value for this variable is '("-i" "-n" "-g" "-v") As a carryover from my previous Linux laptop, I had set it to '("-i" "-u" "-g" "-v") in my init.el file. I no longer recall why I needed "-u" but not "-n" under Linux, but "-u" at least it means something entirely different under MacOSX. I now have this setting in my init.el file: (setq efs-ftp-program-args '("-i" "-g" "-v" "-e" "-n" "-A")) Both the -e (disable command line editing) and -A (force active mode) seem to be required for the version of ftp on my machine. Without -e it can't detect the remote host type if I connect to ftp.xemacs.org. Without -A it attempts to send an EPRT command, which many (most?) ftp servers appear not to understand. (Perhaps efs can be trained to ignore EPRT and EPSV errors.) To the XEmacs beta folks, let me know if you want more input regarding the -e and -A flags. I'd be happy to send some ftp buffer contents your way. -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com http://www.mojam.com/ http://www.musi-cal.com/

Can page templates be the default object created?
by Skip Montanaro 26 Oct '02

26 Oct '02

If I create a new object via FTP it seems to always turn up as a DTML document. Is it possible to make the default object a page template? I find it rather cumbersome to have to create a page template in the management interface, then open it in XEmacs. I'm using Zope 2.5.1. I poked all around my management interface but didn't see anything promising. Thx, -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com http://www.mojam.com/ http://www.musi-cal.com/
