Whither David Shaw?
by Paul Winkler 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

I'm looking for David Shaw - got an issue with his docs at http://www.zope.org/Members/dshaw but the email address given on all the product pages bounces with "mailbox disabled". David, are you out there? -- Paul Winkler "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"

url growth
by Dennis Allison 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

Zope internally constructs URLs which can get very long and very redundant. I have one example in the logs now -- /A/B/C/C/C/C/C/C/C/D/ where the C's are completely redundant. How does this happen and what, if anything, can be done to minimize the problem? (I know this has been discussed on the list before, but a quick google didn't turn up anything...)

IO Error Broken Pipe with Photo Product
by complaw＠hal-pc.org 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

I'm using the Photo product on the FreeZope site (http://www.freezope.org/) I've loaded many photos onto the web site, but yesterday and today I am unable to upload photos. Instead, I receive the following error message: Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. IOError Sorry, a site error occurred. Traceback (innermost last): File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 226, in zpublisher_exception_hook File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_addPhoto) File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_addPhoto) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/Products/Photo/Photo.py, line 675, in manage_addPhoto File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 324, in _setObject (Object: event_005) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/Products/Photo/Photo.py, line 646, in manage_afterAdd (Object: MVC-280S.JPG) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/Products/Photo/Photo.py, line 427, in _makeDisplayPhotos (Object: MVC-280S.JPG) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/Products/Photo/Photo.py, line 416, in _makeDisplayPhoto (Object: MVC-280S.JPG) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/Products/Photo/Photo.py, line 398, in _getDisplayPhoto (Object: MVC-280S.JPG) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/Products/Photo/Photo.py, line 389, in _getDisplayData (Object: MVC-280S.JPG) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.4.4-src/lib/python/Products/Photo/Photo.py, line 372, in _resize (Object: MVC-280S.JPG) IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe This problem exists on multiple boxes (running either Linux or Windows 2000) that are on SEPARATE networks. The files themselves are fine, being read with a variety of software applications, including Konqueror and Mozilla. Any idea what the problem might be so that I can pass that along to the FreeZope people? Thanks in advance, Ron

DocumentLibrary: can we read HTTPS?
by Ken 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

I copied over my Products, Extensions and various modifs from my previous install in order to run Zope using a HTTPS-enabled Python. KebasData is again able to read in HTTPS pages, but trying to make this work with DocumentLibrary failed. I must admit I didn't know what to expect, but I thought both products use the same Python module (useragent from my logs is Python-urllib/1.15), so it would work. The error: Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 150, in publish_module File /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 114, in publish File /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 159, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: doctest) File /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 98, in publish File /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 88, in mapply (Object: document_submit) File /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 39, in call_object (Object: document_submit) File /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 127, in __call__ (Object: document_submit) File /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 473, in __call__ (Object: document_submit) File /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Try.py, line 140, in render File /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Try.py, line 174, in render_try_except File /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Raise.py, line 56, in render (Object: URLError) URLError: (see above) -- I hope someone can provide me with some insight on this, it's important! ----------------------------- Chris, re: my earlier post >> ...following this, the script exits: >> >> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >> There were errors dUring Python module compilation. >> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >> *** Error code 1 >> Stop in /usr/ports/www/zope. >Do you have an INSTANCE_HOME setup and have extension Products like CMF installed? >I've seen this erro when the python script part of the >Zope builder tries to >build things like filesystem Script (Python)'s by mistake. >Using INSTANCE_HOME solves this problem... >cheers, >Chris Chris: I think your mail may have crossed paths with mine. Turns out there was no problem installing Zope from the FreeBsd port. It was me... I never really got what INSTANCE_HOME was all about, I should read up on it. I do have it in 3 places in my start file. But if you are referring to some setup that exists prior to installing Zope, I don't know about that.

FW: BASE and IMG and [X]HTML
by Charlie Reiman 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

I asked the www-validtor mailing list what's up with the img vs. base tag thing in XHTML. Here is the explanation. His comments make sense and I really have nothing to add other than it looks like I need to switch hardcore to XHTML if I want anything to validate. If you want to pester Kynn then it would be good form to join the www-validator mailing list. Charlie. -----Original Message----- From: www-validator-request(a)w3.org [mailto:www-validator-request@w3.org]On Behalf Of kynn(a)idyllmtn.com Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 2:01 PM To: Charlie Reiman Cc: www-validator(a)w3.org Subject: Re: BASE and IMG and [X]HTML Charlie Reiman asked: > We've been having a discussion on the zope mailing list regarding the > validator's behavior with <base ... />.

But why does it not > complain about <img ... />? Isn't this the same situation? Hi, Charlie, it goes like this. You and I both know that HTML 4.01 is html written according to SGML rules, and XHTML 1.0 is html written to XML rules. In the SGML-HtML rules, the closing > on a tag is actually optional in many cases, and when it's not there, the assumption is that it's meant to be there, and anything else is just character data. Why is that important? Well, it makes sense when you combine it with someone else -- a slash / can't appear inside the tag in SGML-HTML. So when an SGML-HTML application (such as the validator) sees the following: <img src="blah.jpg" alt="Blah!" /> It reads it as: < Okay, the start of a tag. img Aha, this is the image element src="blah.jpg" Okay, this is an attribute alt="Blah!" This is another attribute / Wait, what the heck is this? This can't appear inside this tag. Oh, I get it. The tag actually closed after the last valid attribute, they just didn't include the >. Okay, so the / is some character text data after the tag. > Hmm, I guess this is still character text data. So really it reads it as: <img src="blah.jpg" alt="Blah!">/> Now, the browsers out there aren't really SGML applications. So they don't follow the SGML rules properly, and won't read it that way. Instead they'll read it as: <img src="blah.jpg" alt="Blah!" [SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW SO I WILL IGNORE]> ...which means it will display as you'd expect. Okay, so what's the problem with <base /> not being allowed but <img /> is? Simple: The HTML specs don't allow "raw" character data text to appear inside the <head>, but they do allow it to appear inside the <body>. When you write <img />, that extra /> -- as the validator reads it -- follows the <img> and is within the <body> text, where character text is perfectly valid. When you write <base />, the /> appears in the <head> element, and that's NOT allowed, so the browser throws an error atcha. --Kynn

<base href="http://mydomain.dk" />
by Preben Mikael Bohn 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

Hi all, I'm using Zope behind apache, using a virtual host monster. I have put a <dtml-var index.html> in my index_html. Everything works fine, but I just tried to validate my webpages using www.w3.org's validator, and it came out with an error... When I go into http://mydomain.dk/ Zope inserts a <base href="http://mydomain.dk/" /> in the <HEAD> section, which is wrong HTML (I think the "/" is illegal) If I go to http://mydomain.dk/index.html no base tag is inserted. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Best regards Preben

Structured text - inline images
by Chris Beaven 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

I'm trying to get inline images in structured text working and can't seem to figure it out... Quoted from http://www.zope.org/Members/jim/StructuredTextWiki/StructuredTextNGRules : Text encloded by double quotes followed by a colon, the string img, another colon, an URL, and concluded by punctuation plus white space, or just white space, is treated as an inline image. For example, "Zope icon":img:http://www.zope.org/p_/zopelogo_jpg is interpreted as (in HTML, <img alt="Zope icon" src="http://www.zope.org/p_/zopelogo_jpg">) But when I try it, all I get is a link to "img:http://www.zope.org/p_/zopelogo_jpg" titled "Zope icon". So obviously this rule doesn't seem to be working. Am I missing something obvious? Is there some other way I can get this working? Thanks Chris
