Hi there For editing Zope stuff, I've found nothing that comes close to sitecopy + vim. I've outlined a way of working in this post to the Zope list: http://makeashorterlink.com/?U5CB4391 Jean

ZGadflyDA doesn't
by Ng Pheng Siong 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

Hi, I'm having some problems with the Gadfly that is bundled with Zope 2.4.2. This is on a W2K desktop. I did this: 1. Installed Zope 2.4.2 binary package. 2. Installed Python 2.1.1 binary package separately. 3. Created directory <zope>/var/gadfly/mydb. 4. Used Python in (2) with the Gadfly found in <zope>/lib/python/Products/ZGadflyDA/gadfly to create my database in batch mode; my database files went into <zope>/var/gadfly/mydb. I can query the database from the Python prompt. 5. Started Zope. Tried adding a ZGadflyDA connection. *** Problem: Zope only sees the data source called "demo"; "mydb" cannot be seen. 6. Modified and re-ran my database creation program to deposit the database in <zope>/var/gadfly/demo. 7. Restarted Zope. Added a ZGadflyDA connection to the data source "demo" successfully. 8. Tried this new connection by doing some SQL. *** Problem: "Database does not exist" or words to that effect. What am I missing? TIA. Cheers. -- Ng Pheng Siong <ngps(a)post1.com> * http://www.post1.com/home/ngps

by Gitte Wange 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

Hello again :-) I am really trying new stuff here so bear with me please .. when you have a dtml-in tag you can set sort=attribute But how do you do that in a python script? You can't do: for item in folder.objectValues('lala') sort='something': So how do you do it then ? TIA, Gitte Wange

A new list needed?
by Andrew Kenneth Milton 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

I'm looking for/want a Zope mailing list that's for more advanced programming under Zope. zope-dev is for Zope innards, which isn't appropriate, and I think the level of some of the stuff that comes through zope(a)zope.org is a little low (and fairly repetitive), which seems to remove most of the skilled people from the list due to noise. A zope-hackers type list would be quite useful I think. Anyone else think it would be a good idea? -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm(a)theinternet.com.au|

Userid in Z2.log
by Tim Cook 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

I didn't find where this issue has appeared in the archives but I thought I woould see if anyone has seen/solved it. The userid is not logged in my Z2.log: Zope Version Zope 2.3.2 (binary release, python 1.5.2, linux2-x86) Python Version 1.5.2 (#10, Dec 6 1999, 12:16:27) [GCC 2.7.2.3] Installed products are: BTreeFolder Product LocalFS Xron CookieCrumbler. spellchecker I know that it was occuring before I started using CookieCrumbler and spellchecker. One item in the archives indicated that it *may* be asociated with LocalFS. The symptom is that I get a dash ( - ) following the IP where the userid should be. Any ideas appreciated. ____________________________________________________ Tim Cook, President - Free Practice Management, Inc. http://www.FreePM.com Office: (731) 884-4126 ONLINE DEMO: http://www.freepm.org:8080/FreePM

Here's the line that worked: > <img src="images/top" width=<dtml-var > "sizeCalc(1008,sizer(_.None,_))"> height=<dtml-var > "sizeCalc(82,sizer(_.None,_))">> Ben, you'll find an explanation in your online-help,under Zope Help->Api Reference->DTML Method see the block about __call__. Another source (highly recommended!) would be the book Dieter Maurer is writing about zope at http://www.handshake.de/~dieter/pyprojects/zope/book/book.html esp chapter 3, paragraph 4.4. cheers, oliver

That is some pretty funky code, Seb, but it worked! Would you *please* explain what you did? Especially the syntax with all the wild punctuation! The idea of this, my first external method, was to keep_it_simple. So much for that. Here's the line that worked: <img src="images/top" width=<dtml-var "sizeCalc(1008,sizer(_.None,_))"> height=<dtml-var "sizeCalc(82,sizer(_.None,_))">> Thanks for your help!

Re: [Zope] Best approach for a newbie?
by Richard Hewison 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

Many thanks for the replies. I now have the DocumentLibrary product installed, as recommended by a few people here. I have come across one oddity with it so far though. For some reason, the 'approval' process only works if we select the 'Add Document' button from within the 'Documents' folder (the default document store that is included inside every new 'document library'). If we go via the default document_submit DTML method, then all docs are immediately made available, bypassing the approval stage completely. Anyone else using this?
