references to zope objects
by Mario Bianchi 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Hello list, I need (from within python code of an object of mine, call it myObject) to find another existing zope object (call it targetObject) and retain a reference to it, in order to call its API. As far as I have understood, objects in zope are identified by their id attribute, so this attribute could, I guess, be used to reference objects from python code of other objects. Am I wrong? The zope online help says: "The id is the unique name of the object within its parent object manager" so maybe I am wrong: the id is not unique throughout the entire ZODB, only within the parent object manager. Also, to get the id attribute the first time, one could call the getId() method of the object, right? But how can one call a method of an object without a reference to the object itself? Maybe via its URL? As an alternative to using the id attribute, could I use the URL of the targetObject as a reference to it? In this case what's the python code to 'dereference' the URL? Maybe the usual way to make objects interact is via some glue DTML or python methods? Any pointer to documentation telling the straight, usually followed way to make zope objects talk to each other? Thanks to all. Cheers, Mario. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

mxDateTime unauthorized
by Ulrich Wisser 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Hello, I installed mxDateTime to my Zope 2.5.1. Unfortunatley can I no longer use DateTime. All methods are unauthorized. It seems that mxDateTime has replaced the "normal" DateTime module. Any ideas how to fix this?

Here you can find a useful how-to about uploading a file and get its name: http://www.zope.org/Members/Benno/FileUpload I don't know if the html file object has additional properties like content type and size. Regards, Josef

storing in ZODB vs filesystem
by cijiisen 27 Aug '02

Hi, I need to have a document management system. That would involve a lot of document upload. Can some one advice me on whether its wise to store all the documents as zope does by default into the database or store the file on to some place in the file system. Can someone tell me how to do this easily ! If it profitable to do that ? I have a feeling that storing all the documents in the database might slow down the database! thanks, Ciji Isen

Zope Project management
by Bo M. Maryniuck 27 Aug '02

Hi, all. How is the best way of project management for Zope? Wait, a moment, I'll explain more. So, I have few coders; two designers who knows HTML, CSS and partially JS and few analitics, who know nothing how to code, but just uses the project as users doing. Unfortunatelly, we still does not use XP programming, but will. Well, I need somehow to collaborate all this. Yes, I know what ZCVS is and how it amazinly works. ;-) But I need the way (the best and right way) how to manage any Zope project with a team and that should be as easy it can be. Is it possible to lock some object for editing or just view who currently working on some object? Probably not... So how to collaborate project management in RIGHT way? ;-) -- Regards, Bogdan When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets a little crowded.

cvs or rcs and zope
by Dennis Allison 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

I've finally reached the point where the site code base is large enough that weve managed to create a version problem. <sigh> It's time to put the whole thing under source code verison control. I don't see the best way to do this in the Zope enviroment, at least not transparently. (For example, downloading with FTP and uploading is not invarient.) What's the preferred approach?

Re: [Zope] Passing lists through forms

Nevermind.
