zope document management
by pol 07 Jan '07

07 Jan '07

Hi all, I would like to share my user view about zope, I would like zope to strive to embody into Data.fs the best trimmed down objects as possible, leaving on the file system most of the content. Text files and pictures should be accessible by external editors, mail should be accessible by external mail readers, and so on. Zope main role would then be to establish connections between external objects, collecting, indexing, sorting and viewing external objects (editing capability would not be needed). Is anybody working in that direction? thank you -- Pol

about make products
by Allen Huang 07 Jan '07

07 Jan '07

I starting to use Zope 2.9 and I'm told not to use ZClass anymore. Instead of make products with in zope, I should make products using python coding and place it in the product folder. But I don't know zope modules will enough to make my own product. Where should I start? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Wrapping zope with socksify
by Patrick Gerken 07 Jan '07

07 Jan '07

Hello, we wanted to open connections from within zope to other elements. As the other elements require that we connect to them via a socks server, we considered it a good idea to wrap zope with socksify. socksify is a program from the dante package which allows you to add socks support for any network application by just wrapping the application with socksify. It is just like using strace on linux. Now we got the problem that zope randomly crashed. We suspected that the socksify version we used was faulty and tried it with the latest socksify version as a static compiled binary, but had similar problems. Did somebody else try to wrap zope with socksify and had success with it? I found only this hint that application developers should take care of: *select(2)/poll(2)*applications combining non-blocking sockets with select(2)/poll(2) need to make sure they can handle the select(2)/poll(2) call being interrupted. This is due to how the Dante clientlibrary implements support for non-blocking connect(2).But our application crashed randomly, and not when we tried to access certain ftp servers. Best regards, Patrick Gerken

Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object

I don't have a problem with manage_addProduct(). I know how it works. Creating objects in a folder is not a problem to me. My problem is the folderish object which I'm trying to find with a string input. If you've read my previous message, the server output error with name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') because name is a str object and does not have manage_addFile. I understand this. But name is an id to an exsisting folder that I want to access and do operation inside. how would I modify name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') into a working statement? ----- Original Message ---- From: Andreas Jung <lists(a)zopyx.com> To: Allen Huang <swapp0(a)yahoo.com>; Zope <zope(a)zope.org> Sent: Sunday, January 7, 2007 4:06:27 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object --On 7.

'name' is a string obj I have a exsisting folder name == folder.getId() say I want to use manage_addFile('point', 'a point') into this folder with the getId() == name but I can't do name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') because 'name' is a str object so how do I create a file inside a folder whose id is 'name'? ----- Original Message ---- From: Andreas Jung <lists(a)zopyx.com> To: Allen Huang <swapp0(a)yahoo.com>; Zope <zope(a)zope.org> Sent: Sunday, January 7, 2007 3:39:39 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object --On 6.

dear Andreas make my question short. I have a string object 'name' and it is a name of an exsiting folder is there a method that uses 'name'(a str object) as an argument to call upon this folder? ----- Original Message ---- From: Andreas Jung <lists(a)zopyx.com> To: Allen Huang <swapp0(a)yahoo.com>; Zope <zope(a)zope.org> Sent: Saturday, January 6, 2007 10:20:16 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object --On 6.

Such logic should be implemented in Python and *not* in DTML.

saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object
by Allen Huang 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

This is a problem a got a lot and I never able to seem to solve it. I want save or create a object to a specific folder or other folderish object, I ask the user for the id of that folder or folderish object I store the id name in a variable 'name' the problem is I know the type of the folder or folderish object but 'name' is a str object and I can't use command like name.manage_addFile(). The server just tells me that name is a str which contains no function manage_addFile(). I always end up doing a <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"> <dtml-if "getId() == name"> do something.... </dtml-if> </dtml-in> this is very ineffecient when you have a lot of data. Is there a ways I could do something like "getFolder( name ).doSomething()". Is there anything like that in dtml? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Re: [Zope] problem with createing a product object using dtml

Thanks for Replying Andreas.. but I found the problem... it was at the <dtml-call "manage_addShpTypePoint"> I forget that I was calling a python method that required 4 argument in the parenthesis. If I were to do it using python scripting (do you mean internal or external methods or python scripting) what would it look like? ----- Original Message ---- From: Andreas Jung <lists(a)zopyx.com> To: Allen Huang <swapp0(a)yahoo.com>; Zope <zope(a)zope.org> Sent: Saturday, January 6, 2007 9:52:36 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] problem with createing a product object using dtml --On 6.

Use a PythonScript instead. There is no need to use DTML at this point. -aj __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

problem with createing a product object using dtml
by Allen Huang 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

I created a product using python scripting and worked fine when I create it from the pulldown add menu. But when I try to use <dtml-let number=sequence-index> <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['ShpType']"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('id',readShpPoint(shpPath,number)[0])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('x',readShpPoint(shpPath,number)[1])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('y',readShpPoint(shpPath,number)[2])"> <dtml-call "manage_addShpTypePoint"> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> it didn't create an product object. what am I missing here?? ShpType - the product name readShpPoint - external method manage_adShpTypePoint - constructor method in the product. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

LDAPUserFolder Question
by Sean Duffy 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

Hi, I have LDAPUserFolder 2.6 on Zope 2.9.5-Final. Everything is working as expected, but there is one thing I'm not clear on. I've added uid as User ID to the LDAP Schema, and am using it as the Login Name Attribute. The authentication works flawlessly. Under User ID Attribute I have Canonical Name (cn). That should be returning the full name of the user. However when I use something like: <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set( 'User_Name',REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName())"> I get the uid and not the cn. Any idea how I can get the cn? Thanks, Sean
