Sorry, that's what I meant. The portal server selects a stylesheet (provided with the gadget) to customize the output for IE, netscape or WAP. > What are YOUR thoughts using a Zope backed architecture in place of > something like NPS or iPlanet portal server etc.??? Don't know anything about iPlanet, but I think this would be pretty straightforward with Zope. NPS does a lot more however, it allows the administrator to customize what the user can see/select. There's a hierarchy of settings/authority/views etc that is tightly integrated with NDS (eDirectory). You could model this on LDAP. > what does your gadget for NPS interface with? or is it a generic interface > to anything? It's a daily fortune, like the Unix fortune program.

getPropertyType
by Tim Hicks 05 May '01

05 May '01

I have a zclass that has a property sheet called 'details' and I am trying to create a form for editing this that goes through the property sheet (using dtml-in) and creates the correct input box. Everything works, except the getPropertyType part, which always returns 'None'. The ZQR says that it will do this when the property doesn't exist, but the property clearly does exist as propertyIds() finds it, a getProperty() does actually return the value of the property. I just want to see what sort of property it is so that I can present the correct type of input box. Here's the code snippet. <dtml-in "propertysheets.details.propertyIds()"> <dtml-let pid="_['sequence-item']"> <tr> <th align="left"><dtml-var pid></th> <td><dtml-if "propertysheets.details.getPropertyType(pid) == 'text'"><textarea name="<dtml-var pid>"><dtml-var "propertysheets.details.getProperty(pid)"></textarea><dtml-else><input type=text name="<dtml-var pid>" value="<dtml-var "propertysheets.details.getProperty(pid)">"></dtml-if></td> <td><dtml-var "propertysheets.details.getPropertyType(pid)"></td> </tr> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> And here is a sample of what it generates. <tr> <th align="left">name</th> <td><input type=text name="name" value="Tim Hicks"></td> <td>None</td> </tr> <tr> <th align="left">email</th> <td><input type=text name="email" value="tim(a)sitefusion.co.uk"></td> <td>None</td> </tr> Any ideas? tim

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...

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. Troy It should be noted that I am an employee of Vyvx services. -----Original Message----- From: zope-mailinglist [mailto:zope-mailinglist@mopa.at] Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 1:21 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] best streaming practice?? thanks for your answers isnt there a solution for unix/linux? my solution should run on freebsd 4.3 i would like to stream mpeg2 or (in my dreams) mpeg4 (divx) :) i took a look at darwin - but it seems that it only understands qt format dono if i'm right
