Timeouts from overseas?
by zope＠concision.com 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

I have an international customer who claims that their European offices have difficulty receiving pages (roughly 50% failure rate) from our Zope server here in the US while at the same time they have no trouble receiving pages from our apache server. Both servers run on the same physical machine, and the hostnames are served from the same DNS zone. It would seem the only variable is the http server software - zope vs. apache. Just to complete the picture, they say that their US offices have no difficulty receiving pages from any of our servers. Is there some timeout value that I might try adjusting? I know I can serve the Zope content through apache/PCGI. I'd rather not.

recent articles about Zope?
by Eric Balasbas 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

Does anyone have any links to recent reviews of Zope? It seems that all of the articles I found are from 1999 and earlier. Zope has changed a lot over the years, and it would be a shame if the only product reviews of Zope were from two years ago.

calling zope
by jr＠i-bucks.com 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

I am new to zope. I am looking for an application server. I want to know if I can call zope objects and methods from a script run OUTSIDE of zope (say python, to make it easy). Is this possible? So far, all the API/call information that I have found either relates to calling system functions (APIs) from inside methods, or calling external methods. Nothing about calling the app server from an external program. I get the impression that I have to execute an http call, and clumsily parse the output. Is this true, or is there something that I have overlooked in the output? The types of calls that I need to make is to search for objects with certain properties, create new objects, and update old objects. I need to retrieve object properties, and execute methods. I need to have basic security enforced (userid identification or userid/password). The reason why is that it is contractually necessary to provide an api into the server. Thanks, jr John Riehl

removing items from lists ?
by Junk 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

hello, i am making a dtml script that will choose 3 different objects and display them and i'm kindda stuck. i think the process would be : 1] make a list of objects (dtml-let ?) 2] choose a random item from the list (or maybe choose all three at one time ?) 3] remove this item from the list 4] same player shoots again... right now i'm able to make the list, to use whrandom.choice(xx) to get a random value, but i can't remove items from the list and once in a while i do get the same item twice (which i don't want happening). maybe i don't do it the right way ;-) $ven

problems with adding monthRange.py as Python script object
by Frank McGeough 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

I am trying to add the monthRange.py Python script into a Zope folder. I get the following traceback that looks like Zope's having trouble finding DateTime. DateTime is definitely there and compiled o.k. (pyc files are present) Any ideas? I am running Zope 2.3.2 and CMF 1.1beta on a Windows ME machine at home. What's with the empty string after the File in the message below? Is that part of the problem? Thanks for any hints.

Proxy role question
by scott 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

Hello, I am having some permission problems with a DTML method. I am running 2.3 I have a method that adds a folder, user's folder, a method and siteroot as well as sends a mail message. Now, I had set up the manager proxy role which has the permission to do all of those things. This worked in 2.1.6, now in 2.3, it gives the standard "unauthorized" error. I have tried changing the proxy role to manager, anonymous, and owner. Still raises error. There has got to be a way around this.... All Help is appreciated!

Mass update of a ZClass property?
by Satheesh Babu 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

Hi, I've a ZClass that defines an object of type X. In a folder there are around 100 X objects. Now one of the properties of the ZClass is a selection, drawn from a property "Category" which is of the type lines. The values are ['Music','Software','Book'] Now, there is a requirement that 'Software' needs to be changed to 'CD'. How do I change that in the 100 X objects, that have 'Software' category, in one shot? Calling manage_editProperties in a loop for 100 objects should work. But this method needs REQUEST to be passed through. If I just set a REQUEST for "Category" but that erases other properties of the object :-( So, I suppose I've to load all properties for each object into REQUEST, then change "Category" to CD if it is 'Software' and then call manage_editProperties. Well, I tried playing with property_sheets.myproperty.propertyItems , with not much luck. Am I doing it in a round about way? Any easier solutions? I really miss SQL here ;-( V.
