Re: can I move my zope site off zope?

About having all the data in ZODB, I tend to agree with Jacob Singh. It is lot more *easier* in SQL (for people who know SQL a little bit) to extract data out in any way you want. However, I certainly don't agree that it is easier to program and maintain ASP/PHP code to talk to database for building a large scale applications - when compared to Zope. IMO, Zope with ZSQL methods is the best and most versatile choice for hooking up a database to web. So, what I tend to do often is to design a database in RDBMS and use Zope to talk to it - this is a hell lot more easier than mixed HTML + ASP/PHP code - it cut down the development time by around 80% and certainly cut down lot of maintenance time. One issue I can think of ZODB is that mass update of properties is little harder than SQL - I know there is find & replace support now, but I've not used it yet - as opposed to simple UPDATE table SET col='' WHERE blah blah. That said, here is the principle that I've been following so far: - If we need only a web application, go with Zope and its products - If we need a web application and that data probably needs to be used elsewhere, create a SQL schema that supports Zope's products. Then automatically synch the ZODB data to RDBMS (well, this will limit the object capabilities of Zope a little bit) - If it is really a mission critical application for which web is just one interface (and it is possible that people want OLTP capabilities later), start with a database design, use ZSQL, preferably make your own management interface and then create ZODB objects from the database. This is a lot like traditional ASP/PHP programming, but you would be surprised how easy it is in Zope. You might want to check the DBObjects product as well. S Babu http://vsbabu.org/

file-upload problem
by Demont Maarten 28 Nov '01

28 Nov '01

Hi, I'm uploading a file from a form. However, I want the id to be something I filled in the form, namely movie_id. But if I do: <dtml-call "images.manage_addFile(id='<dtml-var movie_id>', file='<dtml-call movie_file>')"> and try to upload it, I get following error message: The id "" contains characters illegal in URLs. If I fill in any name in the id='...', it works as a charm... How do I use a variable in the id field? Maarten Demont maarten.demont(a)cronos.be

dtml-in fails
by Holger Paulsen 28 Nov '01

28 Nov '01

Hello! I am very new to Zope, I do not know something about Python and DTML and I am german. So, at first, I have to apologize my bad english. And now my problem: I would like to show the content of a directory. Simple. That fine Zope-book says: | <ul> | <dtml-in expr="objectValues('../File')"> | <li><a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title_or_id></a></li> | </dtml-in> | </ul> should do this. I created a folder, put two JPGs from my home directory into it and pasted that code into the index_html-DTML-document. It does not work. When I view this index.html-File in a Browser, the result is: | <ul> | </ul> Please note the "space" before "</ul>". My system is GNU/Linux; Debian testing. "python -v" answers: | # /usr/lib/python1.5/exceptions.pyc matches /usr/lib/python1.5/exceptions.py | import exceptions # precompiled from /usr/lib/python1.5/exceptions.pyc | # /usr/lib/python1.5/site.pyc matches /usr/lib/python1.5/site.py | import site # precompiled from /usr/lib/python1.5/site.pyc | # /usr/lib/python1.5/os.pyc matches /usr/lib/python1.5/os.py | import os # precompiled from /usr/lib/python1.5/os.pyc | import posix # builtin | # /usr/lib/python1.5/posixpath.pyc matches /usr/lib/python1.5/posixpath.py | import posixpath # precompiled from /usr/lib/python1.5/posixpath.pyc | # /usr/lib/python1.5/stat.pyc matches /usr/lib/python1.5/stat.py | import stat # precompiled from /usr/lib/python1.5/stat.pyc | # /usr/lib/python1.5/UserDict.pyc matches /usr/lib/python1.5/UserDict.py | import UserDict # precompiled from /usr/lib/python1.5/UserDict.pyc | Python 1.5.2 (#0, Apr 10 2001, 10:03:44) [GCC 2.95.3 20010219 (prerelease)] on linux2 | Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam | import readline # dynamically loaded from /usr/lib/python1.5/lib-dynload/readline.so The installed Debian version of Zope is 2.3.3-1.
