ZPT: examples in The Zope Book don't work
by Joseph A. Knapka 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Hi folks, I was trying page templates out for the first time the other day, and ran into this minor problem: After cut&pasting the code from the "compoundInterest" example in chapter 5 of TZB into my ZMI, they didn't work. The interestDisplay template, confronted with <span tal:replace="years">, threw an exception claiming that "years" was undefined. Changing it to <span tal:replace="request/years"> worked fine. Similarly, all references to request variables in the invocation of the Python script had to be changed from "variable" to "request.variable". Am I missing something here, or is this the way templates are supposed to work? (Incidentally, this was Zope 2.5.1 on a Linux box.) Thanks, -- Joe "I'd rather chew my leg off than maintain Java code, which sucks, 'cause I have a lot of Java code to maintain and the leg surgery is starting to get expensive." - Me

test scripts with versions
by Jim Kutter 28 Aug '02

One question as an offshoot to my last question. Testing a script (Python) while in a version is unsupported because of "TemporaryStorage is incompatible with versions" Doh So how do I test scripts while in a version? -jim

xron on Solaris
by Shilpa Shenvi 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Hello, I am having some problems with xron. One machine runs Solaris 8 - the xron does not have problems here. However, I am having difficulty running xrons on the machine with Solaris 2.5.1. In both cases, I use Zope 2.5 and xron 0.0.10 . On the machine with Solaris 2.5.1, the first time I add a xron to a directory, it shows up in the Cataloged Objects field of the Scheduler. However, after the time it should have run, the Cataloged Objects field is completely cleared even though I had specified a reschedule. In addition, the method that I specify to run on the xron is never executed. Is there anything I can change to get the xron running on the Solaris 2.5.1 machine? Is there some incompatibility with the version of the operating system? Thanks, Shilpa

Report into Solaris Zope Performance - The Postscript
by Paul Browning 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

This report <http://www.zope.org/Members/glpb/solaris> (March 2002) painted a rather depressing picture for "poor little rich kids" obliged to run Zope on Solaris. The following is offered by way an update. The residual crunch issue seems to be what happens when you put a database adapter in the mix. We're not yet sure whether the various tweaks we've applied cure Zope applications that make heavy use of back-end Oracle databases. <http://www.zope.org/Members/glpb/solaris/report_ps> Please continue to report your experiences to zope(a)zope.org and I'll try to provide an update from time to time.

If I could I would, but the arguments include lists of dictionaries which zope doesn't handle as normal http yet.

do I need to get user's password?
by Terry Hancock 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Hi, I'm looking at implementing a very simple encrypted password scheme, using SimpleUserFolder. The documentation says I need to implement a function to return a user's password. But if I understand encryption at all, this is supposed to be impossible. What should I do? Return an empty string? The hashed password? What depends on this capability? Surely it doesn't need this to support logins, does it? Also, should I expect any trouble with using SUF with CookieCrumbler to get cookie-based authentication? Otherwise, SUF looks pretty straightforward. Just trying to make sure I understand what I'm doing. ;-D Thanks, Terry -- ------------------------------------------------------ Terry Hancock hancock(a)anansispaceworks.com Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com P.O.
