Crazy Problem With Having to Restart Zope Won't Go Away!
by Ben Ocean 16 May '01

16 May '01

Hi; For some reason, from what I can judge a bug in the source code that affects some unfortunate ones such as myself, ZServer crashes every few hours and has to be re-started. So I wrote this script: >>> #!/bin/sh while : # if there's a page there, copy it to a test file do `wget -q -t 3 -T 30 http://thewebsons.com:8080/index_html -O test` # if there's something in the test file, go take a nap if grep '^<' test then sleep 60 # whoops! Why the heck does RH6.2 complain there's no ./start file?? Sometimes it complains, sometimes not. Hmmm... else if ./start then ./start & sleep 60 else sleep 10 fi fi done <<< and just let the fool thing run (in the Zope installation). But now I get error messages stating ./start doesn't exist! That's why the *else if* stuff, but it _still isn't good enough! Come back hours later and Zope's dead as a doornail. Furthermore, my script's not running, either. I don't get it! What am I not seeing? TIA, BenO

ODBC DSN file
by Menard.Jean-Francois＠hydro.qc.ca 16 May '01

16 May '01

I need to transform a lot of data from multiple Excel files and export one standard big text file. I created an ODBC System DSN, and it work fine. But I have about 100 excel files, and I would like to develop an interface with a dropdown list with all the excel files in my directory, choose one, and import it. Any ideas how I could do that? I tried to create a File DSN, but Zope doesn't seem to detect it. With such a connection, I could change the connection string into the DSN file when needed. So: - Is it possible to connect to a File DSN ODBC from Zope? - Is there a better, cleaner solution I could try? Thanks!

DTML in Properties?
by Rahsheen Porter 16 May '01

16 May '01

I'm using ZStyleSheets and wanted to set the width of a layer to the width of the actual image which appears in it. I know that Zope has the image's size stored as a property of the image and this property can be acessed via DTML, but can I put DTML as the Value of the ZSSAttribute? (or any property, for that matter) --- Rahsheen Porter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

HTML e-mail and irony
by Jim Penny 16 May '01

16 May '01

Is it not a bit ironic that a mailing list about a web development system has such a strong policy against HTML e-mail. (Not that I disagree, html email is, whether one is concerned about legibility, bandwidth, security, or privacy, an unadulterated evil. But still, there is a tinge of irony). Jim Penny

You could also point them to this page - http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help/html-off.html - which has instructions on how to turn off HTML in various email programs! :-) Cheers, Jon ----------------------------------------------------------------- It is a bit impolite just drop messages from novice users. I'd recommens to send them polite reply with FAQ on our policies. procmail+formail are great to do this kind of job. Oleg.

Im trying to check that a user has permission to do something: user = self.REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] for p in ['Foo',]: print user.has_permission(p, parent) I get 1 for everything. Is has_permission the correct call? Cheers. -- Andy McKay.

[ANN] ZShell 0.9
by Jerome Alet 16 May '01

16 May '01

Hi, I'm pleased to announce you the very latest ZShell version: 0.9 ZShell is an external Zope method which allows you to manipulate the ZODB using standard unix shell's commands from within Zope's Management Interface in your web browser. It's a very powerful tool which can possibly destroy your ZODB's contents when not used correctly: You've been warned. You can download it from: http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/zshell/ New features: ============= - Commands grep, view, properties and manage added. WARNING: no security check is done on manage. - Command replace was deleted since grep can do replace. - Command google now opens a new window. - If javascript is not activated then new windows are not opened but the user can follow links to the results in commands: google, view, properties and manage. - Some minor fixes. - Code simplifications. - find was going one level too deep when --maxdepth was used. You'll probably find the new grep command useful, considering that it can search and also replace patterns in objects. You can use the full re module regexp possibilities, both for the search and replace patterns. Currently grep is able to replace in objects content for objects which are or inherits from: DTMLMethod, DTMLDocument, PythonScript, provided you've got sufficient permissions. But grep can also replace in any other object type properties with its --properties option, again, if your current priviledges allow that. the meaning of a matching pattern can be reversed using the --invert option: objects that doesn't contain the pattern match. finally, the grep command may be used recursively with its --recurse option. Feel free to send any comment, bug report, or wish to me. Thanks in advance. Jerome Alet - alet(a)unice.fr

Cron & Receiving email
by Bruce Eckel 16 May '01

16 May '01

1) Is there a cron-like tool in Zope? Or a way to have cron run a process in Zope? 2) Under Linux/Sendmail, can I have the above Zope process "receive" mail sent to a particular address? (Note that my ignorance of how mail works could fill volumes). Thanks...
