Zope, CMF, WebDAV +Windows' Network Place and versioning.
by Knut Meidal 10 Oct '02

10 Oct '02

Greetings! I have been playing with Zope and CMF. Scavenged an old HP Workstation, a B132L with PA-RISC processor, little RAM and a small disk(2.1GB). Got Debian Linux installed, along with debs of Zope, Zope-CMF. (PostgreSQL too, in case I ever figure out how to move my data in there. Hints appreciated.) I now have a test-CMF site running. I have created a few folders and users, uploaded a few files, published and played around. I saw that Zope-CMF supported WebDAV. And I saw the light. My great vision was to create a Windows "Network Place" to read/write to Zope directly from Windows. This way, I envisioned, I could have people use familiar tools to save documents to a familiar environment. While at the same time, we could attach some metadata to the items, and use versioning between files, with full accounting on who edited what file, when, and possibly keeping track of several versions of the SAME FILE, in the SAME PLACE using the SAME Filename. It almost works. I can create "Network Places", save documents to the Zope folders. Only thing missing is the ability to have Zope versioning on files created in this manner. Can it be done? Anyone else tried this approach? Experiences? Good? Bad? Do's and DON'Ts? Tips, tricks? PostgreSQL pointers? KnutM

How to make a folder with a path property?
by Oliver Marx 10 Oct '02

10 Oct '02

Dear List We are trying to make a folder-like product with a path property. In one of the zope books it says that __bobo__traverse can be used to let an object have multiple parents. CMF has the skin_tool and in some sense one could say that what we want to make is a product where there is only *one* skin. Should we use is the bobo approach or the CMF way? \Oliver

Zope & Gimp & Win32
by Anders Schneiderman 10 Oct '02

10 Oct '02

I'm trying to create a product that will dynamically create pictures by calling Gimp from Zope. Eventually the code will run on a Linux server, but for now I'm on a Windows box. Has anyone ever done this? If so, any pointers on how to go about calling Gimp from a Zope product? Thanks, Anders Schneiderman

KnowledgeKit?
by Richard Wesley 10 Oct '02

10 Oct '02

Is anyone using this? It was greeted with joy by my documentation team, but it is rather old and crufty. I am faced with the task of converting it to ZPT among other things. Also, the fact that I can't seem to add a custom index_html to a knowledge base instance is rather annoying...

LocalFS indexing on CMF ?
by Cravoisier Thierry 10 Oct '02

10 Oct '02

Hi all, I am using LocalFS on W2000 with Zope 2.51 and CMF1.3 I catalogged my files by using the portal_catalog tool, the "Find Ojects", searching for the "File" object type. In the ZMI, I get the list of all object identifiers cataloged : looks OK ! When I move to the details of the catalog contents "catalog" tab, I get the object identifier correct BUT the details of a cataloged file gives me some strange information: Metadata Contents Metadata is the information that the Catalog keeps inside of its internal structure so that it can answer questions quickly. This is then returned in the "brain" that the Catalog gives back during searches. Key Value Subject () Type Folder CreationDate 2002-04-17 10:34:57 review_state ModificationDate 2002-09-19 18:36:20 Date 2002-09-19 18:36:20 EffectiveDate None modified 2002/09/19 18:36:20.656 GMT+2 created 2002/04/17 10:34:57.568 GMT+2 ExpiresDate expires 9998/12/31 getIcon folder_icon.gif Creator zopeadm effective 0999/12/31 Description portal_type Folder Title <the title of the Folder just before my Local FS Directory" ??????? > The index contents seems ok except the Title that again refers to the <the title of the Folder just before my Local FS Directory" ??????? > !!!! Any Hint ? As an impact, it gives as a search result, always the same "name" for any object indexed from the file system and behaves the same for the topic items !!! -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thierry CRAVOISIER
