I've got a 2-hour powerpoint presentation entitled "Squishdot, Zope and Python" from a talk I gave last February which kind of covers a lot (so most of it is a bird's-eye view of the whole damn kaboodle) -- just email me privately if you're interested... Its about 1.5 MB unzipped (35 slides) -- most of it screenshots of squishdot sites (I'm biased ;^)) -- you can take out the stuff you don't want... --- Andy McKay andym(a)ActiveState.com wrote: > > I would recommend just showing a lot of Zope and an application.

I'm almost convinced (though I haven't tried it) that a demo (and enough time afterwards for questions) might make a more powerful and lasting impression. Cheers!

Starting zope automatically on Linux Mandrake 8.0
by Karl Munroe 13 Jun '01

13 Jun '01

I have one for all you linux gurus, I recently installed Zope 2.3.2 after much headache..finally it work that to help from Chad Crawley. I have a problem with linuxconf picking up the zope script from /etc/rc.d/init/d. The file exists and it has execute permissions. I can : ./zope {start|restart|etc..} form the command line. However, when I try to restart the zope server from linuxconf it does not report it as a service and zope does not start automatically when the server is rebooted. Is there a special script editor to use?? Or can I just use pico to edit the text in the script? Do i need to include the infomation to start zope automatically anywhere else?? Does anyone have a pdf on how to write the scripts??? Thanx in advance, Karl Munroe P.S. The How-to Start zope on linus Redhat did not work for me on Linux Mandrake

Working on Zope presentation
by Timothy Wilson 13 Jun '01

13 Jun '01

Hi everyone, I'm going to be doing a presentation on Zope at the July meeting of the Twin Cities Linux Users Group. I'm looking for suggestions from others who may have done a similar presentation regarding what topics I should cover. I'll be looking at some of my own projects as case studies, but what else would people recommend covering? -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.org | http://www.zope.org W.

Because the same was reported for Gadfly I assume a problem in this Zope alpha version. Regards, Frank

RE: [Zope] Last Modified

Hmmm, well I haven't seen it in documentation, but the documentation may exist. To tell the truth, I just learned that last week when C. Duncan came up to teach Zope/Python training at my company. There a story behind why it is named that. It was once a part of one project that merged with another project. These to projects formed Zope, but for some reason the variable names (well, not all of them at least) didn't get changed to something more intuitive.

Re: [Zope] Zope < - > MySQL -> GOT IT RUNNING!
by Carl Robert Blesius 12 Jun '01

Just to let the list know (and people that have run into similar problems): After a long fight to get MySQL and Zope to talk to one another we got it going!!! This little bit of information: >Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2001 20:14:04 -0400 (EDT) >From: Andy Dustman <andy(a)dustman.net> > >ZMySQLDA-1.1.3 is not compatible with MySQL-python-0.3.5. Instead, try >ZMySQLDA-2.0.7 with MySQL-python-0.9.0. >http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python along with installing Distutils (and other various requirements mentioned in the documentation) on a non Zope Python 1.5.2 Version and copying the needed folders and files mentioned in the error messages from standard python install to Zope python install did the trick (as well as various nitty gritty configuration settings because of our "non standard" system and system setup). I am sorry it is not more detailed, but we were about to give up and as a last resort started trying some crazy things (without documenting it): and like magic... it started to work (and has been running ever since).
