How to Replicate Zope?
by Pete Nesbitt 06 Jun '01

06 Jun '01

Hi, We have Zope running on a RedHat box at a different site. I am building a dev box that I would like to recreate the same senario as on the production machine, which I would prefer not to take offline (but could if necessary). What is the best method of replicating to the 2nd machine (what files to copy, etc)? Once changes are tested etc, can I just reverse the process to move it back? -- Peter M.

Generating SMIL files in Zope for RealPlayer
by Gitte Wange 06 Jun '01

06 Jun '01

Hello, A little while ago someone here asked a question about subject. He had some difficulties on creating SMIL files in Zope. Now I have the same problem. And I THINK it is because I set the wrong content type in the header. My question is: Is there anyone out there with an example on creating smil files in Zope?? Regards -- ************************ Gitte Wange Jensen System Squid Developer MMManager Aps +45 29 72 79 72 gitte(a)mmmanager.org ************************

Apache Content w/ Zope
by Alex Kelly 06 Jun '01

06 Jun '01

I am very new to Zope, so please bear with me. I have a virtualhost setup with a rewrite rule so that http://my.host.com will take you directly to our zope root. My boss wants us to be able to put some JSP or PHP scripts and be able to go to http://my.host.com/some.php That of course won't work, because that isn't a zope object. I have seen a method of accomplishing something like this with rewrite rules, so you could have http://my.host.com/nozope be delivering the scripts, and if all else fails, we may have to use that method. I thought it might be possible to have rules saying something like "if it ends in php jsp jpg then it is apache content, otherwise it is zope content" I have no clue how to make that work though. Does anyone have any suggestions? Alex Kelly

RE: [Zope] problem with dtml-var displaying None for NULL from po stgres

Chances are (I haven't verified this yet) that PoPy and ZPoPyDA don't set the variable if it isn't there in PostgreSQL. Try: <dtml-var variable missing> Troy -----Original Message----- From: Chris Kratz [mailto:chris.kratz@vistashare.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 4:05 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] problem with dtml-var displaying None for NULL from postgres Hello all, Up until this week, we were running Zope on a windows ME box against an access database using ODBC for our first stage of development. Now, I have migrated the database and the zope instance over to a Linux box running Red Hat 7.1, Zope 2.3.2, Python 1.5.2, PostgreSQL 7.1, with the PoPy 2.0.1/ZPoPyDA 1.2 connecting everything up and we are running successfully. My question is this: we have quite a large number of pages where we use the <dtml-var> tag to dump a field from the database (after a select). On the previous setup, when the field was NULL in the database, the var tag happily did nothing. Now, on the new server, if a Null is found, it prints out None instead of nothing. For now, I am manually modifying the pages and wrapping each of the var tags with an if tag like this: <dtmil-if field><dtml-var field></dtml-if> which gives the expected behavior. This works, but is time consuming. I have examined each of the pieces (Zope/ZPoPyDA/PoPy/PostgreSQL) and cannot find an easy way to change this behavior. After reading some related information on the mailing list, I think the culprit is most likely the DA. Unfortunately, I was not successfull in installing the psycopg DA and the current version of egenics mxDateTime so I cannot compare the two DA's (ZPoPyDA and psycopgDA). Is this expected behavior? Is the Zope 2.3.2, Python 1.5.2, ZODBCDA, MSAccess configuration simply different in some aspect? Why are we getting different behaviors with everything the same except a different database? If there is no way around this, is there a faster/better way to modify the pages so that they don't display anything for a NULL field?

HowTo Search for a property
by Daniel G. Rusch 06 Jun '01

06 Jun '01

Hey all, If you ever wished you could find an object that has a specific property in your site, the following code does the trick. It consists of two methods. Put them in the root folder and "view" FindAProperty. Simply type in the name of the property and ##################################################################### DTML Method FindAProperty: #################################################################### <dtml-var standard_html_header> <h1><dtml-var document_title></h1> <dtml-if property> <FORM METHOD="POST"> <table> <tr><input type="BUTTON" name="Back" value="Back" onClick="history.back()"></tr> </table> </form> Property: <dtml-var property><br> <dtml-in "propertyItems()"> <dtml-if "_['sequence-key'] == property"> Root: <dtml-var sequence-item><br> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> <dtml-let path="''"> <dtml-var Recurse> </dtml-let> <dtml-else> <h3>Type the property name you wish to locate</h3> <P><form action="FindAProperty" method="post" name="GetInfo"> <table> <tr><th colspan=4 align="left"><b>Item: </b></th></tr> <tr><td align="right"><b>Property:</B></TD><td align="left"><input type="text" maxlength=50 size=20 name="property" value=''></td></tr> <tr><td align="right"><input type="submit" name="FindProp" value='Submit ID'></td> <td align="left"><input type="BUTTON" name="Back" value="Back" onClick="history.back()"></TD> </table> </form> </dtml-if property> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ##################################################################### DTML Method Recurse: #################################################################### <dtml-in "objectItems(['Folder'])"> <dtml-let path="path + '/' + _.str(id)"> <dtml-with sequence-item> <dtml-in "propertyItems()"> <dtml-if "_['sequence-key'] == property"> <dtml-var path>: <dtml-var sequence-item><br> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> <dtml-var Recurse> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> </dtml-in>

RE: [Zope] Sharing Database connections and/or methods between Zo pes?
by Schmidt, Allen J. 06 Jun '01

06 Jun '01

Seems like such a simple thing... I hate to say it, but it is MS Access 2000....have really had great luck with it using Zope. Not doing anything that would come anywhere to taxing it and since ALL connectivity has been with ODBC it has served our purpose very well. Access is NOT installed on either of the two Win2K servers...just using the Access MDB driver that shows up in the ODBC setup panel. Could THIS be it? One server can SEE the other using mapped drives or UNC connections and the ODBC DSN sets up happily without complaint. Don't think it is a Zope issue as I have used another method to try and access the DSN which points to the DB on the other server. Same result...but with it, it shows the 'S1000' ODBC error. So, thankfully, not a Zope issue. Thanks Thomas Allen -----Original Message----- From: Thomas B. Passin [mailto:tpassin@mitretek.org] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 2:11 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Sharing Database connections and/or methods between Zopes? [Andy McKay] The ODBC setup should allow you to select a networked database on another NT/2000 server. That should let the the ODBC driver handle it rather than Zope. If your database has client-server capability, you can run a client for it on the same box as the Zope server and access it using ODBC talking to the clienton the one box which gets the data from the database server on the other. I'm doing that successfully running SQLAnywhere. Otherwise, it might be a problem about talking to NT network hosts from Zope. I remember that the LocalFS had a problem with that and you had to install a patch to make it work. Maybe you could find out some details by searching for LocalFS things, and maybe emailing its author.
