filtering results
by gf 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Hi, I am a Zope newbie. I apologize if the terminology I use below is not correct, but I hope that you get the gist of what I am about to ask. I would like to be able to 'filter' results before returning them to the user. In other words, if a user requests a given object, it is passed through a filter before being passed on to him or her. As a simple example, I may want to tidy the html before the user sees it, or eliminate or add certain tags or words. I have put together a simple 'html tidy' external method that takes raw html and produces a tidied version, but I don't know how I can apply it. Thank you for any comments, suggestions, or simple examples you may be able to provide. Best Regards, gyro

TextIndexNG and ExtFile
by Palermo, Tom 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

All, I've got a site with a couple hundred ExtFile objects. I now need to index the content of the various files (word, pdf, excel, ppt). I see that ExtFile doesn't have a PrincipiaSearchSource method so I created one. It returns self.index_html(). When I go back into my catalog and reindex my PrincipiaSearchSource index (a textindexng index), clicking the "Reindex" button opens the ExtFile I'm trying to index. Is there something more to the process of trying to index ExtFiles with TextIndexNG. I've googled around and tried a few things but either they don't work or I get the same results I've just described. Any ideas? Thanks, Tom Palermo

This question really makes no sense to me. The reasons are obvious (see above) and the solution is straight forward (see above): installed the required converters and make them available through $PATH as requested and documented. -aj ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - Andreas Jung ZOPYX Ltd. & Co KG - - E-mail: info(a)zopyx.com Web: www.zopyx.com, www.zopyx.de - -----------------------------------------------------------------------

TextIndexNG question
by Palermo, Tom 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

All, I've just installed TextIndexNG2. I created a TextIndexNG2 index called PrincipiaSearchSource in my Catalog. In the converters tab for this index, I see this: Mime-Types Description depends on application/pdf Adobe Acrobat PDF pdftotext application/vnd.sun.xml.writer OpenOffice text/html Converter HTML to ASCII text/plain Null converter text/sgml, text/xml Converter SGML to ASCII Why do none of the typical Microsoft converters show up in the above table? This is on a Linux box and I'm not sure if things like wvWare are installed (eg. for converting and indexing msword files). I can index a pdf file object no problem, but word docs are ignored - they catalogged but their text/content doesn't get indexed. The converters shows this on my Win2K machine for the same converters tab: application/msexcel, application/ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-excel Microsoft Excel xls2csv application/mspowerpoint, application/ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint Microsoft PowerPoint pptHtml application/msword, application/ms-word, application/vnd.ms-word Microsoft Word wvWare application/pdf Adobe Acrobat PDF pdftotext application/postscript Adobe Postscript Document ps2ascii application/vnd.sun.xml.writer OpenOffice text/html Converter HTML to ASCII text/plain Null converter text/sgml, text/xml Converter SGML to ASCII It shows all of the microsoft converters. I don't have the dependencies installed on this machine so I know the actual index won't work. I'm just curious as to why the two converter listings I've provided are different. Thanks, Tom Palermo

I downloaded suse 10.1 beta 4 and installed zope during the install. It seems to run fine, but I cant access the admin interface. Is there a file that I can edit as root and set the username and password? I tried the zpassword.py command and still cant access it. thanks, ddh -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools

+ in url /zope object name
by Brian Sullivan 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

I am running into the problem mentioned in: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2003-October/141868.html I have "+" used in a directory name of some content generated outside zope that I want to upload. Preserving the directory name is necessary for the integrity of the data. Why is "+" a prohibited name for a zope object? As a solution Andy Mackay suggests modifying zope to allow "+" in a zope object name. Is there a downside to this?

How to convert characters that have special meaning in HTML to HTML character entities
by Jonathan Bowlas 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hi All, I have a string that contains a <a href="http://www.mywebaddress.com">link</a> tag that I would like rendered as HTML when output but it only seems to render in the html page like this <a href="http://www.mywebaddress.com">link</a> To replace the characters, I tried this in my TAL: <tal:block tal:define="d_stand row/STANDFIRST | nothing; d_stand_replaced_chars python: (str(d_stand)).replace('>','>');"> <p tal:condition="d_stand_replaced_chars" tal:content="d_stand_replaced_chars" /> </tal:block> But it converted the '>' I replaced with a '>' back to a '>' upon rendering the string in a html page. Any ideas how I can achieve this? Jon

incorporating jmol into Zope
by gf 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi, I am a Zope newbie and would really appreciate some help from experienced Zope developers. I am trying to incorporate jmol (a javascript molecule viewer: http://jmol.sourceforge.net/) into some web pages. I think that my confusion may have to do with the use of 'directory relative (../)' versus 'server relative (/)' versus 'absolute url (http://)' paths. The instructions for jmol give an example as follows: <html> <head> <title>Simple example</title> <script src="../jmol/Jmol.js"></script> </head> <body> <script> jmolInitialize("../jmol"); // REQUIRED jmolApplet(200, "load caffeine.xyz"); </script> </body> </html> I have set up a folder in Zope for jmol's files (Jmol.js, JmolApplet.jar): "root/javascript/jmol" I have a Zope folder for the molecule files to be viewed: "root/mycontent/images" I have a dtml method for the actual view page: root/mycontent/view_jmol I would appreciate very much if someone could help translate the example above using my Zope folder structure. I have tried many variations, but they usually end up locking up the browser with a 'downloading applet' message. Related to this is the following question: should I use use the actual file names 'Jmol.js' , 'JmolApplet.jar' as their IDs, or should I use 'dotless' names and just set the correct file types? Thanks for any help and advice you can give. Best Regards, gyro >From the jmol website "General Recommendations": - There is one directory on your web server that contains Jmol.js, JmolApplet.jar, and any other jmol-specific files. For the purposes of this discussion we will call this directory ../your-jmol-directory. - Every web page within your site should refer to ../your-jmol-directory using a relative url. - Directory relative paths which start with . or .. should always be used. Server relative paths which start with / might be acceptable in special circumstances. Absolute URLs which start with http:// are evil and should never be used. - Every page must contain the following HTML command in the head section in order to include the Jmol.js library: <head> ... <script src="../your-jmol-directory/Jmol.js"></script> ... </head> Every page must contain a call to jmolInitialize(codebaseDirectory) as the first call into the Jmol.js library.

Apache2 rewrite gives frustrating 403 error
by Flemming Bjerke 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

I hope someome can help me solving this problem: My apache2 rewrite statement to zope/plone make persistently 403 error. (Exactly the same statement has worked before.) From sites-available/zope: NameVirtualHost 213.173.259.117 <VirtualHost 213.173.259.117> DocumentRoot /var/www/virtual/globalfordring.dk ServerName globalfordring.dk ServerSignature On CustomLog /var/log/apache2/globalfordring.dk-access.log combined ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/globalfordring.dk-error.log LogLevel debug RewriteEngine On ProxyVia On RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://globalfordring.dk:8083/VirtualHostBase/http/globalfordring.dk:80/por… [L,P] </VirtualHost> If I remove the rewrite rule, a browser reads html-files from the DocumentRoot. I can also browse zope directly: http://globalfordring.dk:8083/portaler/globalfordring. But, when I rewrites this url to globalfordring.dk, I get: You don't have permission to access / on this server. The happens if I exchange RewriteRule with: ProxyPass / http://localhost:8083/portaler/globalfordring ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/globalfordring I don't understand what is wrong? Flemming The server is a debian stable, Sarge, with apache2.0.54, og zope278 is compiled with its own python 2.3.5. There is a a virtualhostmoster in /.
