Hi; I need to enable visitors to d'l s/w after purchasing. Of course, I want the d'l page protected, so I presume I'll have to generate a password, etc. Has anyone done this and have some code they could share to get me started? TIA, BenO

RE: [Zope] instability problems 2.4.x... Ready for production?
by Bjorn Stabell 12 Nov '01

12 Nov '01

I'm running 2.4.3beta... are there any known bugs in PluginIndexes/ZCatalog? I'm having major problems with the ZCatalog (portal_catalog) failing some DateTime range searches; only works properly if the DateTime is a "whole day" (earliestTime()). If it's not a known bug, I'll put isolate it and put it in the Collector. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dieter Maurer [mailto:dieter@handshake.de] > Posted At: Monday, November 12, 2001 07:05 > Posted To: Zope List > Conversation: [Zope] instability problems 2.4.x...

Structured Text with Images -> enabled!
by Oliver Keller 12 Nov '01

12 Nov '01

hi folks, I just figured out how to use images in strucured-text with syntax like "alternative text":img:image.jpg Because i never read how to do that anywhere (nor on zope.org!) i feel free to tell you that simple modification to the zope source. Goto $ZOPE/lib/python/StructurdText/ folder. You see some files that contain "WithImages" in their names. As i saw that i simply tried to tell the StructuredText.py file to use them, and not the others - and it wooorked. well now the only thing todo in StructuredText.py is: change source (around line 90 ) to: import HTMLWithImages, DocumentWithImages, ClassicDocumentClass and in line 96/97 to: Document = DocumentWithImages.DocumentWithImages() HTMLNG = HTMLWithImages.HTMLWithImages() thats it. so....am i the only human beeing who figured that out? i'm shure i'm not, but why did no one of the "big" zope freaks/programmers advised us? (im rellay _not_ into python. i can "just" read :-) and know some basic programming structures..) ....or is that the way of zope => see and try !?? ;-) (i'm rather new to zope/python...) a truthful puzzled but happy oli keller P.S.: that worked with zope 2.4.2 and 2.5.0a2 P.P.S.: i want to extend the :img syntax to accept "parameters" to adjust the alignment of the image. any advise/suggestion what syntax to use? what about just implementing :img-right and :img-center? thats probably not the way the structured text authors would go...wouldn't they?

Can't add objects to Folder-like product
by Jesper Holmberg 12 Nov '01

12 Nov '01

Hi All, I'm trying to create some simple products. One of them starts like this: # Parsing.py from OFS.SimpleItem import Item from OFS.Folder import Folder from xml.dom import minidom from Products.Step import Step from AccessControl import ClassSecurityInfo from Globals import InitializeClass from Acquisition import Implicit from Globals import Persistent from AccessControl.Role import RoleManager class Parsing(Folder, Implicit, Persistent, RoleManager): -- Here comes the rest of the class -- I can create new objects of type Parsing. These objects also know that they are folders, so I can (through the web interface) put new objects within them. However, when I try to do this in my Python code, the troubles begin. I have this line in Parsing.py: self.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFolder(name, title="") This gives the errors: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: _getProducts with the backtrace: File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/Parsing/Parsing.py, line 74, in do_Steps (Object: ParseXML) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/App/FactoryDispatcher.py, line 99, in __getitem__ File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/App/FactoryDispatcher.py, line 102, in __bobo_traverse__ AttributeError: (see above) I've tried to change everything I can think of, rereading the documentation a thousand times, but now I'm at a complete loss. Could someone please tell me what I could try next. Also, if I've provided too little information, please tell me what you'd need, and I'll be happy to provide it.

LocalFS and 2.4.x
by Michael Best 11 Nov '01

11 Nov '01

I was having no luck running LocalFS in 2.4 As a result I looked at the source code, and after some experimentation discovered that ts_regex which comes from ts_regex in the Zope distribution was causing this product to fail. As regex is depricated in the Python 2.1, will a replacement to ts_regex be written, or ts_regex modified? I was under the impression that ts_ meant Thread Safe. Perhaps re in Python 2.1 is thread safe already and so it would be okay to use it? I prepared a patch to make it work, but I don't know if there are any hidden caveats and I should follow a different approach? Here is a basic diff, with a patch as an attachment. < import AccessControl, re > import AccessControl, ts_regex < bad_id=re.compile('[^a-zA-Z0-9-_~,. ]').search #TS > bad_id=ts_regex.compile('[^a-zA-Z0-9-_~,. ]').search #TS < if bad_id(id) != None: > if bad_id(id) != -1: --- LocalFS.py Fri Nov 9 15:58:22 2001 +++ LocalFS.py.orig Fri Nov 9 15:57:17 2001 @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ import sys, os, string, re, stat, urllib, glob, errno, time, tempfile import App, Globals, Acquisition, Persistence, OFS -import AccessControl, re +import AccessControl, ts_regex from App.Extensions import getObject from webdav.NullResource import NullResource from ZPublisher.HTTPResponse import HTTPResponse @@ -400,7 +400,7 @@ if id == os.curdir or id == os.pardir or id[0] == '_': return 0 return 1 -bad_id=re.compile('[^a-zA-Z0-9-_~,. ]').search #TS +bad_id=ts_regex.compile('[^a-zA-Z0-9-_~,. ]').search #TS def absattr(attr): if callable(attr): return attr() @@ -556,7 +556,7 @@ # only check that the id string contains no illegal chars. if not id: raise 'Bad Request', 'No id was specified' - if bad_id(id) != None: + if bad_id(id) != -1: raise 'Bad Request', ( 'The id %s contains characters illegal in filenames.' % id) if id[0]=='_': raise 'Bad Request', (

ZSQL insert: None, '' and null behaviour
by Matt Goodall 11 Nov '01

11 Nov '01

Hi, Can anyone give me a good reason why an object with value None, used to insert data into a database inserts the text string 'None' rather than a NULL value? It seems to me that None is pretty much equivalent to SQL's NULL. I found an excellent document, http://www.zope.org/Members/jshell/ZSQLMethods-InsertingData, which explains how to get things to work (use type=nb and optional in the sqlvar tag) but it doesn't work for values of None, only empty strings. I am now going to "fix" all the code I have but I would love to understand why I need to (in my opinion) code around this. If it makes any difference I'm using Red Hat Linux 7.2, Python 2.1.1, Zope 2.4.2, PostgreSQL 7.1.3 and psycopg from CVS. I get the same behaviour on FreeBSD, Python 2.1.1, PostgreSQL 7.0.3 and psycopg 0.99.7 (IIRC). Thanks, Matt

Hi all, Can anybody please point me in the direction of instructions for applying a .diff patch? I have a couple of plugins I want to have a play with but they need these patches to run, and since I've been bashing my head against this one for the past week or so, I thought it was time to ask for help!
