Accessing folders
by Chris Pedrotti 02 May '01

02 May '01

I'm new to all this, so please be patient. What I am doing at the moment is using <dtml-tree> to construct an html form of catagories for users to submit images to. I was setting the value of the radio buttons to tree-item-url and then hoping that I could just replace all '/' to '.' to access the folder that I wanted to image submitted to, and call manage_addImage. I was using <dtml-let> to assign a var to the folder url with the .'s and then calling <dtml-call "_[submitfolder].manage_addImage(id='', file=file, title='')"> Not working. Could anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks. -Chris

Need some help with ZCVSMixin
by Itai Tavor 02 May '01

02 May '01

Hi, I finally decided it's time to get acquainted with ZCVSMixin, mainly because I was looking for a way to sync a project between a development and a production server. But I'm having problems getting started with it. I started a new project, checked it out to /home/itai/workspace/MyProject, created a CVS Folder instance in Zope in the MyProject folder, and then created and checked in some files and folders. No problems here, except for some trouble doing commits. Checkins work fine, but commit just hangs forever. I'm not sure I get commit at all - why is it such a long procedure? To do a commit I need to first click "Force Obj->File" and then select "commit" and click "Admin Function", whereas checkin is a one-click action. Anyway, I then wanted to see how I would use ZCVSMixin to update a production server. So I checked out a new copy of the project ( cd /home/itai/test; cvs co MyProject ), created a Test folder in Zope, added a CVS Folder to it and set its file system root to /home/itai/test/MyProject. Then I viewed the CVS object CVS Status page. I expected to see the objects that I checked out, but I saw nothing. Then, I created a new folder under MyProject, and tried to add a CVS Folder to it, but got errno 13, even though /home/itai/test/MyProject is owned by nobody, which is also the user running Zope. So: following the instruction in the ZCVSMixin README I can get a CVS-controlled folder working, although I can't commit anything in it, and I can do nothing with a new checkout copy of the project. What am I doing wrong? One other question, just in case I manage to solve these problems: I want to CVS the ZClasses in a Product along with the project folder, and it would be nice if they were both stored in the same repository branch. How should I set up the CVS Folder for the Product? I set it to use /home/itai/MyProject/Product. Is that a good idea?

Best way to set up a Product with multiple classes?
by Matthew Wilbert 02 May '01

02 May '01

I want to create a Product which allows creation of an container object which has a number of subobjects and sub-subobjects which can be separately instantiated within it. The subobjects should only be able to be created in the appropriate container object defined within the Product. I know how to do this (or something adequately similar, anyway) with ZClasses within a Product, but I don't understand how to do this with Python classes in a Python product. If the answer to that is too easy, I have a second question. Can I make a such a subobject be permitted in a finite number of containter types, so for instance a FloweringPlant could be added to a Garden or a Florist but not to any other container type? Thanks for any suggestions, Matt Wilbert ___________________________________________________________________________ Visit http://www.visto.com/info, your free web-based communications center.

How do you do a simple relocate?
by Tommy Johnson 01 May '01

01 May '01

Ok, first of all - I'm new to Zope (1 week). Now, what I'm trying to do is relocate from one page to another. Something very simple, such as if a user comes to a certain page, based on some variable, the user will be relocated to another page. I can do a server side include, but this really isn't what I wanted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tommy _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Zope Data Access Flaw?
by Brian Withun 01 May '01

01 May '01

I am using 2.1.4 (linux), and have stumbled across this little quirk... Create a ZSQL Method as follows: ================ SELECT <dtml-var "_.whrandom.randint(1000,9999)"> AS random_value ================ (Our ZSQL Method is connected to Sybase, but this works on MySQL as well) Then, simply test the ZSQL Method. Here's what I get: Random value ---------------- 2754 SQL used: select 7684 as random_value 2754 is clearly not the same as 7684. This is quite repeatable, with different random numbers each time. This works as expected if I replace the whrandom call with a constant, but I can't imagine how whrandom can be the culprit. Brián Withun

Zope IOError messages
by Jérôme Loisel 01 May '01

01 May '01

Hello! After working on my website for a few hours, I sometimes start getting IOErrors from Zope in stupid_log_write. See the full message here: http://zope.levinux.org/ioerror.html This only happens when editing the site. Upon encountering this error once, all subsequent attempts at modifying the site (or even restarting Zope from the control panel) fail with the same error. Simply viewing the site, however, will continue working. This problem is does not crop up constantly, but it is not rare either. I work full-time on the website, and this IOError happens a few times a week. It seems to be happening more recently. (Maybe I should pack my database?) I would like to know why this happens and whether or not I can do something about it. The site is meant to be dynamic user-editable. I can manually restart the Zope server, but my users cannot. So this could easily turn into a big headache if the problem persists. Thank you very much in advance.
