zeo: commit lock tests fail, zope hangs when opening
by Mark McEahern 04 Sep '02

04 Sep '02

When I run the ZEO (2.0b1) tests, it gets all the way to checkCommitLock2OnCommit and just sits there. I have Red Hat 7.3. I built Python 2.1.3: ./configure --with-threads --without-pymalloc make make altinstall I installed Zope 2.5.1 from the source tarball. I can start and run Zope just fine without ZEO, but when I stop it and place a seemingly banal and vanilla custom_zodb.py in /usr/local/Zope/var/, start ZEO, and start Zope, I am unable to access Zope. I get a timeout error in the browser. I can give much more detailed information, if someone can help me identify what's relevant to solving this problem. Thanks, // mark -

Authenticated user in Session onAdd methods?
by Juan Carlos CORUÑA 04 Sep '02

04 Sep '02

Hello zopistas, I want to incluye some default values in a session data container when it instantiates. I created a python script that called when new session is created. The problem is hat I need to know the user name in order to setup the default session values. For example: sdo['UserName'] = <way to obtain the username> I tried: sdo['UserName'] = _.SecurityGetUser().getUserName() and the result is always "Anonymous User" even if I am logged as an authenticated user. Thanks. Juan Carlos Coruña jcoruna(a)ibdosnorte.com

RE: [Zope] lists, not strings in database
by Greg Fischer 03 Sep '02

That makes sense. So, what I would like is either a comma sepparated list in the column, or space separated. aperson bperson cperson The end result is this... I would like to create an array, at a later time, based on this record, to generate a view in html of the selected items and also to create a mailto: link from these. These are usernames on our network, so I can simply add the '@domain.com' and I am set. My thought was this... (simplified, of course) <dtml-in sqlMethod> <dtml-var Column1> <dtml-var Column2> <dtml-var Column3> <dtml-in PeopleInvolved> <a href="mailto:<dtml-var sequence-item>@domain.com">Email: <dtml-var sequence-item></a> </dtml-in> </dtml-in> Storing the multiple values in this way should work, correct? But, how do I get them to store that way? Greg -----Original Message----- From: Thomas B.

I made as you > said and it worked 2 times but on third it began make errors with > above messages. Please keep the list in the loop. There are various ways to debug this. One is by looking at (or logging) the XML-RPC protocol messages and see what messages Zope is sending back and forth. Shane Hathaway has produced the excellent tcpwatch product that also can be used for just this purpose: http://hathaway.freezope.org/Software/TCPWatch The important thing to realize is that the traceback that you see are only for code on the XML-RPC client side, but they are caused by errors on the XML-RPC server side. You want to see what goes wrong on that side. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@zope.com | Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ ---------------------------------------------

Re: Not a clue....
by Josef Meile 03 Sep '02

Hi, I was working in something similar, but instead of folders, they were submenus of a pop up menu. I found a how to (don't know anymore the address) from where I took this lines that should be in your DrafFolder constructor: <dtml-with "myClass.createInObjectManager('myId',REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "manage_addProduct['ZCatalog'].manage_addZCatalog('myCatalogId','myCatalogTi tle','create_default_catalog_',REQUEST)"> </dtml-with> In DrafDocument you must put this: <dtml-call "manage_editCataloger('myCatalogId')"> <dtml-call reindex_object> It should work, but when you have a draftFolder inside another draftFolder it doesn't work because you have two catalogs with the same name but in different locations, graphically: DraftFolder1/Catalog DraftFolder1/DraftFolder2/Catalog I guess it's because of the adquisition, so I just gave them different names to the catalogs and it works: DraftFolder1/Catalog1 DraftFolder1/DraftFolder2/Catalog2 >http://sourceforce.net/projects/nlada-library By the way, this link doesn't work Regards, Josef

property/selection/value
by Andreas Rippel 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

Hi, there is this option for a folder to add some properties with standard types, like boolean, date etc. Is there a way for (multiple) selection not only to define the displayed text for each popup-entry, but also the "value" for the generated option-tag or the "name" of the select-tag? Where do these defined properties live within zope, and how can I access and manipulate them directly? Andreas

Polling a folder
by GimsMail 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

Hi all, What's the best way to Poll a folder in Zope (I want to check the folder every now and again for new items, perform some actions, etc.) I have tried creating a polling object that runs a loop in a thread and does the work I want it to do. I do this with a Zope Object inheriting from SimpleItem.SimpleItem. I invoke this object's run method in a thread with thread.start_new_thread(self.run,()). Zope doesn't seem too happy if I inherit from SimpleItem.SimpleItem and threading.Thread at the same time! The strange thing is I get acquisition problems that I'm battling to solve. Things like: self.aq_parent.Tables.id == 'Tables' self.aq_parent.Tables.QMessages.id == 'Tables' (??? Seems like QMessages is the same object as Tables) self.aq_parent.Tables.QMessages.sqlGet() == Attribute Error (it claims sqlGet does not exist, it does). Also, when using the ZMI to navigate to the offending folder (to see if the folders are there etc.) then the acquisition will suddenly start working again. I'm not sure if the fact that I'm polling in a thread has got anything to do with my problems, but I am sure that I'm sooooo confused! Etienne P.S. I'm currently battling Outlook to get it to send Plain Text mails, so please bear with me if this is in HTML!
