newbie: why external database?
by frank sagel 06 Jul '01

06 Jul '01

ahoi, I want to develope a forum with zope. There are products wich store messages and replies in the ZODB. In case this forum will become crowded, this seems to me not the right way ( ? ). I've read that ZODB does a good job if 99% of the users only read. Is this right? Can somebody tell me at wich "size" (e.g. amount of users, hits, etc... ) an external db is needed? Anyway if i'd have to migrate to an external db, how is this functioning? thanks for replies frank

ZSQL Pluggable brains broke in later Zope, can't add instance attributes
by Brad Clements 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

I've been using a pluggable brain with ZSQL methods to inject an instance attribute, like this: class PackageEvent: """Package Event Pluggable Brain""" def __init__(self): """initialize""" self.__dict__['eday'] = self.eventday() # self.eday = self.eventday() # setattr(self,'eday',self.eventday()) <snip> The first method (using __dict__) used to work on 2.2, but now fails on 2.3.3 I've tried the commented out methods as well. I get an attributeError when any of the above three methods are encountered. I believe some new ExtensionClass magic is causing this to fail. Record.c is too complicated for me to figure out. Do I need a self.__of__() something to do this? I can't use an instance method because I need to use <dtml-if first-eday> in my DTML methods. <dtml-var first-eventday> fails of course because eventday is a bound method, not a string. Any suggestions? thanks Brad Clements, bkc(a)murkworks.com (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com (315)268-9812 Fax netmeeting: ils://ils.murkworks.com AOL-IM: BKClements

Determining Local Roles
by Eric Vautour 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

Hello all, I have a stumper here. I am using the following code to determine the permissions of users from AccessControl import getSecurityManager user = getSecurityManager().getUser() if user.has_permission('Change DTML Documents', ob): This piece of code appears to detect appropriate permissions if the user is set up in an acl_users folder however, this piece of code does not appear to work at the "local role" level. That is to say that if I give "Jo" permissions to change the "index_html" document, the above code does not see "Jo" as having permissions to do so. Is there any way to detect the permissions at the local role level? Eric

Looping through results (generated by traversing to result object)
by Kieran Walshe 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

Hi, I don't know if anybody can help me but my problem is as follows: I have managed to set-up a Z SQL query which display results (using http://localhost:8080/sql_method/id/12/viewresult) but I have to explicitly embed the fields returned from the Z SQL query. I would like instead to loop over all the fields returned from the Z SQL and dynamically generate my report for the record. I think it should be something like <dtml-in data_passed_in>..etc Any help is much appreciated. Kieran

Catching specific exceptions in Python Script?
by Etienne Labuschagne 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

Hi all I would like to be able to catch specific exceptions with Python Scripts: eg. try: ..... except Exception, e: ..... of try: .... except sql.error, e: .... This doesn't work as none of these exceptions are imported, also I cannot import them due to the import constraints of Python Scripts. Is there a workaround for this other than using external methods? Etienne
