Help! The suits are taking away my Zope!
by Dunigan, Craig 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

I read the recent thread about the so-called WebDAV support in Office2K, and it raised some hope that someone may be able to help me. I am about to have my Zope intranet yanked out from under me, tentatively to be replaced by, of all things, MS SharePoint Server. I have a new "Corporate VP of MIS," who truly believes the whole "increased productivity" myth that MS propounds. Anyway, here's my situation. I have a central ZEO server and four remote ZEO clients. The ZEO clients function as each remote location's "local" intranet server, by caching most of the content, and requesting new objects when notified by the ZEO server that an object has been updated. Each site connects back to the ZEO server by VPN. Oh, and as of today, the remote servers are Zope 2.3, ZEO 1.0b3, and Linux, and the central ZEO server is Zope 2.3, ZEO 1.0b3, and NT4SP6 (*not* my idea!). It works great, giving us near real-time file sharing. But, my users have two complaints that I can't resolve. One, you can't use Office2K for collaborative editing of a document. Now, *we* know that's because Microsoft didn't do WebDAV right. But the suits' perception is "it works with SharePoint, so something must be wrong with Zope." I have no doubts that this is exactly the reaction that MS planned for. Is there any way to make Zope work with the bastardized MS implementation of WebDAV? Their second complaint is that users can't attach a Zope-served document to an email from within MS Outlook. I've tried everything I can think of, but Outlook appears to be brain-damaged. It seems to me that it can only understand "drive letters," not even the so-called WebDAV Folders that MS uses. By "drive letters," it seems to mean UNC mapped SMB shares. Has anyone done any work with making the ZODB speak SMB? I'd really like to stay with the ZODB for storage, because the way ZEO works is one of my biggest selling points for Zope. If I have to go to FileStorage to use Samba, and arrange for scheduled replication over the VPN, I'd be in no better shape than SharePoint, and we'd lose that near real-time thing that everyone seems to love. So, can anyone tell me how to get Zope to serve something that Outlook can understand? Craig Dunigan Web Programmer Esker Software 608.273.6000

RE: [Zope] Zope Object Contexts and Acquisition
by Timo A. Hummel 27 Feb '02

>Well, if you do this, then you'll want to change getPhysicalRoot() >either to site1, if site1 is a unique name, or >restrictedTraverse('/site1') if it's not. That's the idea NOT to change anything. I thought some construct like: myObject.getPhysicalPath.objectValues so it gets the objectValues relative to myObject and not relative to the object from where myObject is called. best regards, Timo

total size of files in a folder
by Marcus Bergmann 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

Hi, I want to get the total size of a folder. I do a loop over all files in the folder, but it gives me only the size of the last file in the folder: <dtml-let total_size="0"> <dtml-in "Files.objectValues()"> #Files is the name of my folder <dtml-let total_size="total_size+size"> <dtml-if sequence-end> <dtml-var total_size> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> </dtml-let> Alternatively, is there simply a variable I can lookup to get the size of the folder? Thank you, Marcus

PHP Document file not found
by Ulrich Wisser 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

Hello, we try to produce jpg pictures from a PHP Document. It works fine, generaly speaking, but sometimes it fails: Error Type: IOError Error Value: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/1014800341_1.out' How can that happen? When there is an error in PHP it still writes to the .out file, it just doesn't display any picture. But here the whole output is missing. Any ideas?

product for simple editing (no HTML)
by Miles Fidelman 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

Hi Folks, I'm considering using Zope to set up a site for a small organization. What I'd like to be able to do is delegage management of specific pages, or sections within pages, to individuals who do not have HTML skills. So.. I'm looking for something that works within the Zope environment, where a designated individual: - goes to a specified URL - logs in - enters ascii text - hits save - sees a preview - hits submit to send the change to somebody for approval Nice additions would be: - a simple way to insert paragraph breaks - some basic WYSIWYG editing Can somebody point me at such a beast? Thanks much, Miles Fidelman ************************************************************************** Network Technology Corporation PO Box 600618 Miles R.

Forcing someone to download a .html file
by Peter Bengtsson 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

I have a little method in my product class that when called returns an XML file and Internet Explorer asks if you want to Open it or Save it. That's almost what I want and it working in IE(5or6) is only important. It's just one windows user who will need this. What I want ultimatly is that when editing "foo.html" in the ZMI there will be the option of downloading it "Click to download foo.html". Clicking that will automatically show the little Save/Open dialog for download. Ideally Here's the code:: def Download(self, REQUEST, RESPONSE): """ Download the document source and PUT it forward """ doc_src = self.document_src(REQUEST, RESPONSE) from whrandom import random id = "File"+ `random()*10`[2:4] suffix = 'xml' f=StringIO() f.write(doc_src+'\n') RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-type','application/data') RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'inline;filename=%s.%s' % (id, suffix)) return f.getvalue() That works fine but I don't want to save it as .xml because that makes it difficult to open in Dreamweaver. Using 'html' for the suffix makes IE trying to open it immediatly. Desperate for some helpful advice or hints. Peter
