adding objects to a ZCatalog
by Tom Von Lahndorff 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

Hi, I have a folder called "images" and a form that to add images to that folder. The form called an external method (../images/addImage) that references a python script, the one I sent earlier, that creates 4 versions of the images in 4 sizes and places them in the "images" folder. Also in the "images" folder I have a ZCatalog called "ImageData". I'm trying to add a line to the python script to automatically catalog any images that are added to the "images" folder. I tried "ImageData.manage_catalogObject..." but I kept getting back: NameError: global name 'ImageData' is not defined. Any advice? Thanks. Tom

Zeo Client Hanging Unresponsive
by Paul Williams 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

I have posted this several times, but have not until now been able to get DeadlockDebugger installed. zope 2.9.5 + zeo pythonm2.4.3 Red Hat RHEL 4 Plone 2.5.1 Our zeo clients hang intermittently. We have no way of reproducing the problem, but it occurs daily. The client hangs and a restart seems to fix the problem. In the event log with tracing on we get Trace zeo.zrpc.Connection(C) wait(16697) {server:8100} pending, async=0 There are hundreds to thousands of these until the server is restarted. In the zeo log we get Error caught in asyncor asyncore.py error:(110,'Connection timed out') We have been trying to track this down and have had no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? Below is our deadlock debugger output Threads traceback dump at 2007-02-23 15:26:50 Thread -1269564496 (GET /VirtualHostBase/https/soawds:443/VirtualHostRoot/Content///training): File

Error Tracing in Zope 2.6
by David VanKirk 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Can anyone give me some pointers on tracing errors in Zope 2.6? I'm already using the DTML var "error-tb" or whatever it is. And that can be helpful at times. But I was wondering if there's some other way to pinpoint which line in the DTML file is throwing the error. I'm moving my Zope setup from Linux to Windows and apparently there are some syntax that needs to change when migrating over (aside from my SQL command, since I'm going from Oracle to MS SQL Server). Some of these files are big, and there's a done of files to go through, so going through by hand is just not an option. If anyone can give me some pointers to more specifically locate erroneous lines, or if you can give me some tips on what syntax to look out for during the migration, I'd really appreciate it. -- David VanKirk

Resizing an Image with PIL via a Form Upload

How to create a global variable?
by jerome prudent 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Hi! I've a python script which creates a dictionnary each time it's called. This dictionnary is always the same. I would increase the performance if I could generate and cache the dictionnary once, then reuse it. I'm looking for a space like REQUEST.SESSION that is the same for each user of my website (other solutions are welcome). Do you know how to do that? Thank you.

metal:fill-slot and tal:condition
by Dragos Chirila 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Hi everybody, I am stuck with the following problem. I would appreciate it very much if you could help me with it. So I have a ZPT where a macro is defined with several slots; one of the slots like below: <tal:block metal:define-slot="slot_issue"> SLOT DEFAULT CONTENT </tal:block> The common way to put other content in the slot is: <tal:block metal:fill-slot="slot_issue"> CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT </tal:block> Now, in a ZPT that uses the above marco I want to replace the default slot content with other stuff *only* if a condition is fulfilled: <tal:block tal:condition="<condition-code>" metal:fill-slot="slot_issue"> CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT </tal:block> If the <condition-code> returns True then the "CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT" is put instead of the default slot content - correct. If the <condition-code> returns False then nothing will be displayed - this is not correct?!. I also tried somthing like: <tal:block tal:condition="<condition-code>"> <tal:block metal:fill-slot="slot_issue"> CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT </tal:block> </tal:block> In this case the content of the slot is "CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT" in both cases - the result is True or False. The only solution that I can think of is not elegant at all because I have to duplicate the slot_issue's default content: <tal:block metal:fill-slot="slot_issue"> <tal:block tal:condition="<condition-code>"> CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT </tal:block> <tal:block tal:condition="python:not <condition-code>"> SLOT DEFAULT CONTENT </tal:block> </tal:block> Is there other wat to accomplish this? Thank you very much, Dragos
