StructuredText with Images
by Barry Pederson 22 May '02

22 May '02

I was wondering what's the story with lib/python/StructuredText/HTMLWithImages.py - it looks like it should allow you to place images in structured text, with something like: "my image":img:http://foo.com/myimg.jpg but it doesn't seem to be used by default, instead plain HTMLClass.py looks to be the usual handler for STX documents, for example when calling structured_text() from within a PythonScript. I'm also curious why HTMLWithImages.document() method overrides HTMLClass.document() but takes away the option of disabling the header, and only adds a: bgcolor="#FFFFFF" attribute to the body tag (athough the version in CVS doesn't even add that). In CVS it also looks like HTMLWithImages overrides the HTMLClass.xref() method with an absolutely identical method. I'm guessing I could call it with an external method (I'm not asking for help with that) - I would mostly like to know why is it there, why isn't it being used by default, and why is it just a little different in not being able to turn off the headers in the document() method.

mapply & Z SQL Method
by Christian Theune 22 May '02

22 May '02

Hi. I got a very weird problem with cduncan's mapply hint: In a python product method i do following: source_ = self.aq_acquire(self.source) data = mapply(source_, self.REQUEST.args, self.REQUEST, call_object,1, missing_name, dont_publish_class, self.REQUEST, bind=1) Where data most of the time contains the result of the method, in the case of ZSQLMethod objects, this will be a result instance. Now the __call__ method of DA (defined in Shared.DC.ZRDB.DA) is defined as follows: def __call__(self, REQUEST=None, __ick__=None, src__=0, test__=0, **kw): """Call the database method ...""" And src__ gets sometimes set to ZServerHTTPResponse('') which evaluates to a true value and will return the source of the method instead of calling it. :/ Now i don't know how this happens, this actually doesn't look to be intended, as src__ is expected to be 0 or 1, but definitely not a Response object. Hints or solutions?

22 May '02

Hello, I use the portal_catalog in order to search files in my zope site ==> Ok, it works great But, can i search inside documents (like Microsoft's Word, Excel, RTF files, PDF, etc...) ? I store these files outside the ZODB using a CMF Portal Type : "Portal External File". Thanks in advance. Excuse my english Frédéric.

Script context discrepancies & Zope conceptual confusion
by Corey Lubin 22 May '02

22 May '02

<foreword optionalReading="true">Zope has seemed like an appealing option to me ever since I had first heard of it. As a C++ programmer, and an amateur user and lover of Python, the concepts behind Zope struck a chord with me. >From afar, I viewed it as an object-oriented web development environment with the perk that it integrated well with my new "pet language" (Python). The only thing was that it /wasn't/ an option, until now (my goals were too high for some of the free providers, and the commercial provider I came to, iMeme, decided to ignore me).</foreword> With my new firewall-free connection, I installed Zope on my own system and got to work. I quickly came across some problems. Not the typical newbie-that-didn't-RTFM problems (well, ok, those came along too, but that was expected and they were easily dealt with), but conceptual problems, problems of understanding. In terms that strip the unimportant details from the situation, my wish was to have "/foo/bar/doc" include "/foo/doc" which would in turn include "/doc" (doc == some file implemented as a DTML document with an intended cumulative behavior). After figuring out how to access parent objects and accomplish what I wanted by duplicating the required DTML code into each "doc", I decided to encapsulate the work by placing it into a Python script living in the root folder. To my surprise, in addition to the obvious translation from DTML to python syntax, the switch from inline DTML to an python script changed the _behavior_ of the code. Where "this().aq_parent.aq_parent" once referred to the doc's grandparent ("/foo" in the case of "/foo/bar/doc"), the supposedly analogous "context.aq_parent.aq_parent" referred to the doc's great-grandparent ("/" in the case of "/foo/bar/doc"). As was inferred by the mentioned results, simple tests using absolute_url indicated that "context" infact referred to the doc's containing folder rather than the document itself, the object being viewed -- the object upon which the script should have been acting upon. I must have misunderstood the context variable, I thought as I reread that it "." Well, the document /is/ the object being acted upon when being viewed, not the folder it happens to be sitting in, I argued to a more experienced Zoper @ opn/#zope, hoping to clear up my understanding of the way Zope works. Judging solely from the behavior of Python scripts as they seem to work now, I was just about ready to change my view of Zope and assume that the only item analogous to "objects" of OOP-speak were Folders and that Documents should just be considered views of the object, rather than objects of their own. That is, until we eventually realized we agreed with each other, and in response to my question as to whether other procedure-like objects (DTML Methods,...) act the same way, he admitted that DTML Methods would behave in the way I expected my Python script to. The remaining questions were clear... - What behavior is intended by the Zope designers/developer? - If Python scripts called from within DTML Document's /are/ supposed to have their context bound to the document's parent, rather than itself, what is the reasoning behind the discrepancy? To me the following only seems logical: A call to a script "/script" from within the source of "/foo/bar/doc" should match the calling behavior of a visit to "/foo/bar/doc/script". coreyLubin ...who ended up making this mailing into much more of a story than the developer-targeted question that it is

Zope source RPM released
by Adam Manock 22 May '02

22 May '02

I have built a RPM for Zope 2.5.1 It's loosely based on the packaging work done Jeff Rush for earlier Zope versions. http://www.zope.org/Members/dingo/Zope_RPMS I'm releasing this in .src.rpm format only for now, I'll be waiting a week or so for any changes to come in before building a -2, releasing binaries, and marking the packages "stable" Contributions, comments and changes welcome! Thanks, Adam

LocalFS - does it live? Version on Product list needs regex to re update
by Gary Speer 22 May '02

22 May '02

Is there a later incarnation of the LocalFS product. It seems several other products are dependent upon it being installed. Only version I found is 0.40 and it has not been updated in a year. Is there a similar product? Thanks, Gary

how to get started with Zope development?
by 신형환 22 May '02

22 May '02

hi, i'm a newbie and started making a site with zpt on Zope. i've been trying to read over various documents and helps and specs from various sites. but when i get across example codes from this list or some other sources, time to time, i'm discouraged by new functions, modules and usages. the product PythonScripts is one of them. today i found 'bobobase_modification_time' from an example code, but it's not in the API reference or python built-in functions. i wanna know what is the proper approach to Zope development? should i look into Zope source code or something? thanks, hwan
