Presider la France en grand et autrement !
by Mailer 22 May '02

22 May '02

Chers compatriotes, Le 5 mai dernier au soir, vous vous etes tous rejouis comme nous de voir triompher, avec Jacques Chirac, les traditionnelles valeurs de tolerance et d'hospitalite de la Republique contre le fascisme au front bas, et d'abord contre l'exclusion raciste de nos amis immigres, qui ne representent - somme toute - que l'avant-garde de la misere du monde et auxquels il importe donc d'ouvrir au large, des a present, les portes de notre societe, ainsi qu'en temoigne largement l'actualite, surtout celle des faits divers. Reprenant a son compte - et a celui de la droite d'extreme centre-gauche - les meilleures propositions de la Gauche Plurielle, ce en quoi il ne faisait d'ailleurs que repondre au voeu de la quasi-totalite des Francais, le Premier Ministre, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, s'est prononce sans ambiguite - avec l'appui explicite, naturellement, du President de la Republique - POUR LE DROIT DE VOTE DES ETRANGERS. Il importe donc - en vue d'assurer le succes de cette reforme bienvenue parmi d'autres - de plebisciter les candidats de l'Union de la Majorite Presidentielle aux prochaines elections legislatives. Cet appel s'adresse surtout a vous, Francais qui travaillez et payez des impots (et qui - malheureusement - etes encore majoritaires pour quelque temps dans votre pays). Sans votre adhesion active et enthousiaste, cette reforme citoyenne serait vouee a l'echec. Vous aurez donc a coeur de repondre "Present" pour en permettre l'adoption, comme vous saurez repondre "Present" lorsqu'il s'agira d'en gerer les incidences previsibles ou non. A cette fin, vous voterez tous ensemble, tous ensemble pour les candidats de la majorite presidentielle, qui ne vous proposent ni plus ni moins que le maintien de l'excellent cap pris par la France depuis vingt ans et davantage en ce qui concerne l'integration des immigres (vous n'etes pas sans savoir combien le modele d'"integration a la francaise" fait l'admiration du monde entier). On ne saurait trop insister sur la puissante motivation que donnera aux jeunes desoeuvres des banlieues et aux malheureux deracines de Sangatte - tous en proie au racisme hideux de la population locale et aux inadmissibles brutalites d'une police de plus en plus arrogante - le fait de savoir qu'ils ne sont plus rejetes et qu'ils peuvent compter sur le soutien sans faille d'une immense majorite de la population francaise, a commencer par les forces vives du pays. Ainsi aurez-vous l'assurance, chers compatriotes, que vos impots seront bien depenses, comme il le sont deja en vacances a la neige, a la plage ou a la montagne pour les pauvres jeunes des quartiers sensibles, en attendant la generalisation et la systematisation de ce genre de mesure, qui releve de la plus elementaire justice sociale. Souvenez-vous que nous devons a Jacques Chirac le regroupement familial, qui a tant fait pour l'enrichissement du pays par l'apport d'immigres travailleurs, pacifiques, honnetes et patriotes envers leur Algerie natale ! Faites en sorte que la France s'engage enfin resolument a devenir davantage pluriethnique, multiculturelle, metissee, tolerante, citoyenne et genereuse ; faites en sorte qu'elle regarde l'avenir avec confiance : votez pour les candidats de l'Union de la Gauche de la Majorite Presidentielle ! Union de la Majorite Presidentielle, Tous ensemble avec Jacques Chirac.

Seperate Development ...
by Bernd Schoeller 22 May '02

22 May '02

Hi ! Using a Windows Server (which I had to do), I have a production zope site that needs to be always online. Unfortunately I am quite a newbie using zope, so I have a question: I would like to setup a second site for development, perhaps with an automatic way to move this site to the production site. Can I just copy the Data.fs ? Do I need to stop the service before and restart it afterwards or could this even be done "on the fly" ? Bernd

RE: [Zope] Zope alone or under Apache
by Graham King 21 May '02

21 May '02

If you use FCGI with Apache, then I don't think there is much of a slow down, but of course there is the small overhead of actually running Apache. The main benefit of Apache is to provide many Virtual Hosts, so your single Zope server can be all of www.abc.com, www.def.com, www.xyz.com, etc. Thsi is achieved using the Virtual Host Monster and Proxy pass in Apache. Caching is another feature that helps defeat the slow responses, either Zope or squid or something like that. cheers Graham -----Original Message----- From: Fearless Froggie [mailto:fearless_froggie@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, 22 May 2002 3:13 To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Zope alone or under Apache >From my research I understand that Zope alone is much faster than under Apache. Are there any advantages to running Zope under Apache that would make the decrease in speed worthwhile? There seem to be plenty of zope products available to take care of things missing in zope like cgi-bin, etc. I'd be grateful for any "personal experiences" people would have to offer.

Form Based Document Creation (Newbie)
by Stephan Vladimir Bugaj 21 May '02

21 May '02

Hello, I am brand new to Zope, and have a task-oriented type of question. I'd like recommendations for the best way to do what I'd like to do. What I'd like to do is: Create a variety of different forms which create Zope documents. The forms would have different fields for different types of documents (though they would all have certain fields in common, such as author name... most of the fields would be displayed as part of the document body) I've not been able to figure out what is the proper Zope way to do this... Populate a variable associated with each doc for "expected expiration release" (because I want to be able to find all docs which are either older than a certain age based on creation date, or which expire with the current release of our production software, and then assign them to someone's todo list to edit them) Indeed, what I think I really want is to modify numerous copies of the master template for adding a document so that documentors can just add content and pick from a list of document types. However, I couldn't really figure out if I was going to keep the maximum amount of residual sanity if I did this by modifying all the templates by-hand, or doing something more automatic with Zclasses, or packages, or if I need to use the CMF or what... I could just hack stuff in Perl CGI and MySQL to do this, but if I learn the Zope way I'll become a better person, right? :-) I'd like to create applications to act on these documents, and a whole lot more, but for starters I figure I need to figure out how to make these forms and start inputting docs that have the right structure to support my apps. Please advise. Thanks. LL+P, Stephan -- ----------------------------------------------- Stephan Vladimir Bugaj, Minister of Information Pixar Animation Studios 1200 Park Ave, Emeryville, CA 94608

Cache by InterSystems vs. Zope (OT)
by Robert Allyn 21 May '02

21 May '02

I ran into this site for Cache www.intersystems.com which seems to have a fast database with object and SQL access to the data, and an app server with some similarities to Zope on the surface. Not really interested in the app server as it isn't open source, but the database sounds fast. Anyone used this or seen it? - Robert

ZPT idiom
by Jim Penny 21 May '02

21 May '02

Speaking of idiom: which do people feel is better: <input name="test" tal:attributes="value request/foo"> or <input name="test" value="dummy" tal:attributes="value request/foo"> That is, should the value= tag be given when it is going to be replaced by a tal? (Both forms work, I am concerned about readability and pedagogy.) What about <input type=checkbox name=test2 tal:attributes="checked request/foo | nothing"> vs. <input type=checkbox name=test2 checked tal:attributes="checked request/foo | nothing"> Again, both forms have been tested, does the latter form help or hinder readability?

zope upgrade and data copy
by jbr＠FIZ-Karlsruhe.DE 21 May '02

21 May '02

Hello, I am running zope 2.5.0 on one server. I have installed the new zope version 2.5.1 and would like to copy all my data of the old zope server 2.5.0 of a subdirectory ( for example /data1 ) to my new zope server 2.5.1. 1.) Should I copy Data.fs even if the old server is version 2.5.0 and the new one is 2.5.1 ? 2.) Or is there a Product to download my directory /data1 to an external file system and to reload it ? I am using zope page templates and python scripts in my directory. The download procedure should be able to process these types. Could I use the product loadsite to upload to the new zope server then ? With kind regards, Juergen Berger

drop-down-list-box pre-selecting by query variable
by Mark A. Robinson 21 May '02

21 May '02

Hi all, I have a HTML SELECT drop down list box (ddlb). It has a few items in it (OPTIONs). The value of each option is a simple number (first OPTION has a value="1", etc.) Below the SELECT is a table pulled from a database from the selection in the ddlb (a typical master/detail kind of screen). When the user selects a different item in the ddlb, I want the screen to reload and have the detail table reflect the new item in the SELECT ddlb. Everything is working just fine EXCEPT when the page reloads, the SELECT ddlb is not pre-selecting the change in the ddlb. I accomplish the page reloading by using a little javascript in the SELECT onchange event: onchange="location=mypage?ddlb_val=this.value;" so the page is reloaded with a variable called ddlb_val, and it is set to the id value from the ddlb selection. No prob. I have a dtml-var showing that the number is being passed just fine. The problem is occurring in the SELECT creation I use the following line to determine which item in the ddlb to select by default: <dtml-if expr="id == ddlb_val">selected</dtml-if> but it is as if that little bit of python cannot see the ddlb_val that was passed to the page. If I create another variable before the SELECT statement like <dtml-let ddlb_val="2"> then the ddlb preselects just fine. What does python need in order to see a variable passed to a page using URL?variable=value thanks all

Help subclassing a non Zope class as base class of a product
by Gilles Lenfant 21 May '02

21 May '02

Hi, I got a strange behaviour when subclassing a non Zope class (called MyBase) that has - and needs - an __init__(...) by another class that provides Zope features (called MyZSub). from OFS.SimpleItem import SimpleItem from mybase import MyBase ... def manage_addMyZSub(self, id, title='', REQUEST=None): o = MyZSub(id, title) self._setObject(id, o) ... class MyZSub(SimpleItem, MyBase): ... def __init__(self, id, title=''): self.id = id self.title = title # isinstance(self, MyZSub) -> 1 :) # isinstance(self, MyBase) -> 0 :( # (very strange) # THIS RAISES THE EXCEPTION BELOW MyBase.__init__(self) ... Creating a new MyZSub object raises this !!! Error Type: TypeError Error Value: unbound method __init__() must be called with instance as first argument. I can't get what happens. Is "self" something else than the newly created object when in such a class !!!??? When removing this line, it works (except of course there's no construction of the base class 8(( This (MyBase.__init__(self)) works perfectly when subclassing MyBase by any non Zope test class - including with multiple inheritance !!! I can't understand why "self" is not instance of MyBase !!! >>> class a: pass >>> class b: pass >>> class c(a, b): pass >>> x=c() >>> isinstance(x, a) 1 >>> isinstance(x, b) 1 I made a quick hack tour in the Zope products installed in my serer and I didn't notice any product trying to call the constructor of its base class from its own constructor. Has someone a hint. Please, I'm falling into a nervous breakdown... Thanks in advance. --Gilles
