logging module in Zope?
by Peter Bengtsson 07 Apr '02

07 Apr '02

Has anybody had any experience in using Vinay Sajip's python logging module in Zope development? I would like to apply it to my python product development, and am just wondering about more zope specific use and hints. http://www.red-dove.com/python_logging.html Peter

Newbie: Win Me reboots with Zope
by Adam Basil 07 Apr '02

07 Apr '02

Hi, I've just installed Zope 2.5 on Windows ME. Double clicking start.bat causes the machine to reboot. Running z2.py with IDLE also causes a reboot. I'd read somewhere that Norton Firewall can cause this but I only use Norton antivirus and disabled it everytime I tried to start Zope. Can anybody help?

Use the source Luke -- what could be done to help documentation process? Request for comments!
by Heimo Laukkanen 06 Apr '02

06 Apr '02

A while a ago there was discussion about the community stalling and the state of the documentation. As far as I can remember and see, there wasn't really any agreements or solutions what to do -- so I raise the question again -- and propably aim it to the people at Zope corp., what we -- noble users -- could do to help your work on documentation? I am no frigging genius, but after banging my head enough to the wall I learned to turn into the source code and find answers from there. As it brings some enligthment from time to time, I - personally - would like to help others to find the answers more easily, and possibly let them solve some other problem and that way help me, while I'm propably facing that problem in the future. We have a great community -- that is unfortunately in very many pieces around the world. Nice thing is the diversity, but in some cases the effiency suffers. Should one turn into ZDP, Zope zen, zope newbies, zopelabs or search through the mailinglists? Huh? Joel Burton asked wether there would be people interested to help in these efforts, or more precise to be leaders in such cases. I emailed him that I would like to help, but at this stage could not be a leader of any kind. Now I am asking, is there -- in the wide open world -- a person or persons, who would like to help the community get back on the knowledge building-track? What I am suggesting is that together we create a certain set of methods of work, that we all will follow and help others to follow. These will include some etiquette on the mailinglists, howto's and what to do with the information -- for example where to store good code snipplets etc. I know it sounds hard and would require work with many people, especially the great persons who now maintain great sites at zope.org -- but also zopezen.oeg, zopelabs.com, zopenewbies etc. We have so much what we could - for example tell stories and write case scenarios about how we have used Zope and how we have planned to use it in future. There is whole lot of tacit knowledge stored into many of the seasoned Zope-developers and the challenge for the whole community is to get that knowledge into usable form. While Dieter's and others replies on the mailing lists are excellent, I believe that we could achieve more. For example by writing summaries of our problems and solutions, and storing them in some good format with good metadata so that the searches will find them better than now. But where and how? This is where we - as a community - would need to make decisions and stick by them. Possibly it would require that some persons would work as a coordinators, and many others -- just like myself -- would assist them by creating content and moving information from one place to another. But coordination is the key, wether you like it or not. It only requires some time and commitment -- which for most of us equals money. But count the numbers and tell me honestly, would you have any less -- or way much more, if our community for some parts would work like a well oiled machine. Atleast for me, Zope has been a great source of inspiration -- and honestly changed the way I see development... And I would be honoured to give something really valuable back.

Issue tracking
by Tom Nixon 06 Apr '02

06 Apr '02

I'm looking for an issue tracking product for Zope. I would like a web-based app where my customers can log support requests etc and I can keep track of the status of each issue. I have already found a few candidates on zope.org but can anyone recommend a good one? Preferably one that's quick and easy to get up and running, not too complicated. T.

External Method and PIL
by dnielca＠netscape.net 06 Apr '02

06 Apr '02

Hi there! I wonder if someone could help me figuring out how can I turn a Zope Image Object into a Image object of PIL within a external method. I thought about using the data attribut from Zope's image object to get some where, but I'm still lost in doing that. If any one can help me, it would be nice!

reindex_object() in a python script??
by Mark A. Lilly 06 Apr '02

06 Apr '02

Hi, I create an Object instance in a python script, and then change two of the properties. (see below). Even though i'm calling reindex_object, after the Task object is added to the Folder, it is not in the ZCatalog TaskCatalog until i manually add it. The Task's ZClass (task) is CatalogAware. Thoughts? Thanks, mark folder2 = getattr(context, 'Tasks') id = context.ZopeTime().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S') theProject=folder2.manage_addProduct['Task'].task.createInObjectManager(id, context.REQUEST) theProject.propertysheets.primary.manage_changeProperties(task_desc=REQUEST. input_desc) theProject.propertysheets.primary.manage_changeProperties(task_name=REQUEST. input_name) theProject.propertysheets.primary.manage_changeProperties(project_id=REQUEST .input_project_id) theProject.reindex_object()

RE: [Zope] ZGDChart refresh
by Igor Leturia 06 Apr '02

06 Apr '02

You're right, it's the browser cache! There was a gif file named 'mychart?' ('mychart' is my chart's name) in the temporary internet files' folder, so I suppose the browser just shows that file again and again. If I delete this file and ask to show the page again, it generates the chart properly. So now we know what the problem is, but I need a solution! How can I tell my browser not to use this file? Or how can I delete this file from Zope?

Are there Graphic Designers?
by Stephan Richter 06 Apr '02

06 Apr '02

Hello everyone, as we are moving forward developing Zope 3 with large steps, it becomes more and more desirable to think about a nice frontend (ZMI) for Zope 3. However the skill set of the developers currently working on Zope 3 does not include good graphics design skills. For this reason the development team is looking for one to two good graphic artists who would like to work on the look and feel of the new Zope version. Since it is fully developed from scratch, there are almost no restrictions, other than: It has to be functional. Are there any takers? Regards, Stephan PS: I am sorry about the cross posts, but I think this is a Zope-Dev/Zope3-Dev message with an audiance mostly found on the Zope Mailing List. -- Stephan Richter CBU - Physics and Chemistry Student Web2k - Web Design/Development & Technical Project Management
