LocalFS and ZPT
by Blossom Merz 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

I'm in the beginning stages of a fairly large web devlopment project. For this one, I need to store most of the zope object in the local filesystem. LocalFS knows how to store them, but I can't get it to parse the TAL stuff. I've tried making a few changes to the module source, but I really don't know what I'm doing. Any ideas? Thanks! blossom merz (Zope newbie) --

dictionary definition and strings
by p.t. 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

Hi, as a newbie to Zope and this list, I have a simple question I can't manage to get an answer. If, in a python script, I have a string ="{'aKey':'aValue'}" and I want to generate a dictionary from such a string, what should I do? BTW, the function dict() does not work (at least in Zope 2.4.3) TIA for any suggestion, p.t.

STX (Wiki) to PDF?
by Brad Clements 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

I've been looking around the Zope Book CVS and web pages trying to find the elusive "STX to PDF" conversion tools. Anyone have any pointers? I need a way to dump a Wiki into a single PDF document. Figured I'd have to build something, but would like to find an STX to PDF converter to start with. Thanks for any hints.

Does anyone have suggestions for an approach to executing a dtml method nightly? The platform is Windows 2000, and I have access to the Task Scheduler to run python and perl scripts from the command line. Thanks!

manage_addFile won't work
by Mark Spencer 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

The following python code works when I upload a local file to my local Zope server, but gives a "resource not found" error when uploading any local file to a Zope Server across the internet: context.manage_addFile(id, file=new_file_object, title=title, precondition="", content_type="") (If I change "file=new_file_object" to "new_file_object" there is the same problem) Does this mean that I have to process the path/filename in a different way, or is it some kind of permissions issue ? And how can I simply overcome the problem, do I need to use an external method or some other solution? Mark Spencer.

compile bug in Zope 2.5.0
by system PRIVILEGED account 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

Hi, I am trying to install Zope on our ES40 machine. I encountered problems with two C source files whose names seem to have been truncated: UnicodeSpli UnicodeSplitter.c and ISO_885 ISO_8859_1_Splitter.c Both are in the lib/python/Products/PluinIndexes/TextIndex/Splitter subtree I don't yet have a working version, but at least the compilation terminated... Cheers, Herzog rherzog(a)ulb.ac.be

Get exposure for a new site
by Milos Prudek 04 Apr '02

I just created a new site with Zope. What is the best way to gain exposure for the new site? - Yahoo requires $299 annually. I can't afford that. - Excite requires at leat $0.05 per click. What are the best deals in web listings? -- Milos Prudek

Ri:Re: [Zope] Z-SQL Method performance
by Stefano Vedovelli 04 Apr '02

Hello Jens >one exception where the security machinery will not check are simply python >types (the return values from a ZSQL method are objects that contain the >results and not simple types), such as strings, lists, dictionaries etc. so >if you use an external method to get the result set and then convert it >inside the external method to such a simple type and hand that back to DTML >you will see a marked increase in speed. consider this: recordset = context.retrieve_all_contacts().dictionaries() for record in recordset: for key in record.keys(): print key, "=", record[key] from my how-to http://www.zope.org/Members/spinwing/ZSQL_Results. In this case, is Zope applying security as well? This is an internal python script. This is interesting for me so that I can include it in the how-to. Regards Stefano

The Xron product, did the trick. Xron is a product that allows a timed event to be triggered internal to Zope. What I did was; install the product, and add an instance. This places a schedule object (Z Catalog I think) in your site root, and and Xron DTML method wherever locally you want it. Give it an ID, Execute At (starting time, in some time format Zope understands), and Reschedule Interval (nightly in my case). Then add dtml to the method (in this case a method that calls a python script that calls ZSQL directly.) It seems to work very well. Now a question. How stable is Xron? It still seems to be in development. Harlow Pinson Indepth Learning Email: hpinson(a)indepthl.com Web: http://www.indepthl.com Voice: 505-994-2135 FAX: 208-475-7678
