You can hack the Photo Product 1.2.3 to perform what you need, using ImageMagick's convert.exe Take a look at IM's documentation, at www.imagemagick.org Ausum >From: "Zimmermann, Mark" <MarkZimmermann(a)schmuecker.de> >To: zope(a)zope.org >Subject: [Zope] Create Image on the Fly >Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 09:59:13 +0100 > >Hi, >last year i work with Perl and PHP and there i can create Text within >images.

I can do all five servers in less than a day. I might as well upgrade ZEO while I'm at it. I'm testing it now with Zope 2.5 as a ZEO client to the production ZEO server, then davfs and samba on that machine to export the ZODB "files." I'll send the results to the list.

RE: [Zope] Convert Help

Let's avoid the confusion, since they look similar but are in fact different enough to cause errors: It's a TUPLE of LISTS. Also note that extra comma: (['1','2','3'],) Required, as I recall, for single-element tuples. I'm not sure *WHY*, but it is. Idle question -- do you know if executemany is supported for MSDE/SQL-Server? I don't have any need for it at the moment, but it may come in handy for a particular project I'm working on. ---------- Keith J.

Kromer [mailto:matt@zope.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 11:42 cursor.executemany('INSERT INTO TABLE VALUES (:1)', (['1','2','3'],)) [...] API says that this SINGLE argument is the LIST of ALL argument LISTS -- ie, if I wanted to insert two values, I would: cursor.executemany('INSERT INTO TABLE VALUES(:1, :2)', (['1','a'], ['2','b'], ['3','c']))

Regarding WebDAV, a completely wild suggestion: why not try davfs on a Linux box running Samba as a SMB->DAV proxy? Then just mount the SMB share of your Zope root as a drive letter or create a shortcut to the share folder on everyone's desktops... You could find an old PC, throw Linux on it, and use it in this manner? I haven't done this, but the idea seems like an interesting, free, and likely possible solution, at least for something as simple as getting documents into Outlook, etc. Sean -----Original Message----- From: Dunigan, Craig [mailto:craig.dunigan@esker.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 12:00 PM To: 'seb bacon' Cc: 'zope(a)zope.org' Subject: RE: [Zope] Help! The suits are taking away my Zope! - THANKS I replied to seb, because his message summarizes the suggestions I've received. Thanks to all who responded, even if it was only commiseration. I'm looking at webdrive, but we have 500+ plus PCs in nine locations encompassing six countries and three US states, so I'm not sure that's really gonna fly.... Yes, seb, I did search the archives first, but your response prompted me to try again, and I have discovered that Zope 2.4+ includes a workaround for some of the M$-DAV problems. No one apparently noticed that I said I was still on Zope 2.3. I've done some preliminary tests with Zope 2.5 that are successful with Office 2K so far. It won't solve the Outlook problem, but I haven't seen any evidence yet that even SharePoint can do that, so I may be safe there. I do believe that DC or someone else should look at adding SMB to Zope. M$, especially Office, is the standard in the corporate world, and as long as someone with an impressive title but little technical knowledge can claim that Zope doesn't work with some facet of Office, no matter how obscure, they'll have an excuse to remove or refuse Zope. For anyone else reading and wondering about a solution - it looks like WebDrive and Zope 2.5 are the best ideas I've been given so far. However, it may still come down to some very good advice from Ron, who didn't copy the list on his response, but who I will quote here (with his permission): >Having been down the route you now find yourself, I can only give you this >advice: Take benchmarks of current performance levels and record them somewhere >where you won't forget about it.

Well, I can at least fight it until they tell me I have no other choice. Sorry for cluttering the list with my long, sad tale. Thanks again to all.

Re: [Zope] Security issue with the Guest book example in Zope Book
by Amos Latteier 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

Thanks for noting the security problem with the guest book example in the Zope Book. I've fixed the example in CVS to use files in place of DTML Documents. BTW, Zope 2.5 comes with a small collection of example applications including a guest book that uses files for entries. -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@zope.com Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com
