Hi Brad - Thats exactly what I am speaking of - I havent read on Novell's work, but so many players are entering the mini-application and gadget arena in terms of portals.. its either gonna be a really big thing or something that goes bust in the conceptual stage first. Need to build these "gadgets" in Python/xml and open up the Zope system to interface with any system on the planet... to view/process/edit/manipulate its data...

Steve - Please go back and read other messages in this thread. As, CMF is not the same thing as I am talking about. I am talking about having CONNECTORS into different enterprise applications that then use ZOPE to handle security, state, other informational content etc. As far as I can see... CMF is very content-portal driven... Its original name Portal Toolkit was more appropriate for what I am talking about - obviously thats why its now called CMF (?!?). The CONNECTORS create a "user cockpit" of mini-applications to do specific tasks from one interface rather than having 4 or 5 applications open at the same time - creates a more productive enterprise work environment thats focused on what the users need to get done. It isnt about managing NEWS content (though, portals of today take in any content/application data)... so, they steal alot of the premise behind a corporate intranet too. Of course, this discertation is way off my point which was to discuss ZOPE as an application server with extensions that provide data connection into different corporate applications...

Hi, Can anybody tell me how I can access a ZClass in another ZClass with python? For example I have a ZClass, called "foo_class" that lifes in another ZClass called "Container_class" in a product called "foo_product". So this works fine: "Control_Panel.Products.foo_product.Container_class" But this doesn't work: "Control_Panel.Products.foo_product.Container_class.foo_class" Zope says: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: foo_class Can anybody help me? ciao, Klaus

redirect command and advise in general
by Mehmet Yousouf 05 May '01

05 May '01

Hi, I'm slowly putting together an intranet using zope and Mysql to keep track of orders and manufacturing processes for our business and I've got most things working however, there are a couple of things (well... lots actually) I am doing the "wrong way" that I want to fix so that I can cut down on the code and tidy up a bit (simple things, but when you don't know how...) The first and easiest...... I'm using zsessions to keep track of things and the same session can be started from different pages so the way I imagine I should be able to have a single bit of code to achieve this is either javascript (which I have worked out how to implement but don't want to use - I frequently have javascript turned off) or "post" the information to a page that sets the data then redirects back to the "referring url" which is the way I want to do it.... I can't work out how to pass the url into the redirect command so I have been setting up the same page, just slightly changed, for each page that needs to set a session.... e.g. I'm using: <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('query_page')"> instead of something like <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('referring url')"> all that's done on the page is setting of the session i.e. <dtml-call "SESSION.set('blah', blah)"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('prodution')"> I could cut down on thirty "pages" by doing it properly Any help/suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated

RE: [Zope] best streaming practice??
by Farrell, Troy 04 May '01

04 May '01

Your choices are extremely limited. You can try RealServer: http://www.realnetworks.com/products/servers/sysreqs.html which runs on NT/2k,linux,FreeBSD,Solaris,AIX,HP/UX,and IRIX. I'm not sure that streams mpeg though. It is really pricey. If you're a corporation with deep pockets, you can <shameless plug> VYVX your video feed to a streaming company, and let them stream it (very pricey).</shameless plug> If you just wanted audio, we could hook you up with Icecast... All that is well and good, but when it comes to zope, you can only serve static content. That is to say that zope can store and server a video/audio file, but zope/zserver doesn't speak any streaming protocols (RTSP, MMS...). The above solutions do both static and dynamic content.

LiveLink "converters"
by Menard.Jean-Francois＠hydro.qc.ca 04 May '01

04 May '01

We just got a demo of LiveLink, a document manager system. They have an Intranet module wich is REALLY like the Zope one. In fact, it's almost de same! I found a number of similar functionalities between them, but there is a couple of features in LiveLink wich I found interesting: - If a user upload a document, the programmer can use it directly. There are automatics converters for many formats: PDF to HTML, Excel to HTML, Word to HTML, Word to PDF, etc. You can develop your own converters if tou want. Example: Someone upload a report in Excel. In your website, you can put a link to a PDF version, or show it in HTML automatically! - When a user is logged, he sees only the documents he can manage! Much simpler interface! - The interface is internalionalized. So, I guest my questions are: - Any plan for a Zope interface internationalisation ? I know, we could translate the interface ourself, but we want to upgrade sometimes... - Any plan for "converters" ? I think it would be fairly easy, no? - Could hiding unauthorized objects been possible? I know that I can manage that in DTML, but I mean in the default management interface? Any thoughs?

Did you look at the Zope book or the DTML section of URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html ? "dtml-var" can include any object: attributes, property values, functions and methods without arguments (they are called before inclusion), DTML objects (they are called with parameters 'None' and the current DTML namespace), Scripts (they are called with the DTML namespace and possible further parameters from the environment, if configured). Usually, DTML objects must already be objects and not file names. Thus, you should already have transformed your files into DTML objects (there are special classes for that), and put them in the DTML namespace (passing either a mapping or keyword arguments to your top level DTML object call).
