Debugging Zope on Windows
by kjzz.webmaster＠riomail.maricopa.edu 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

I am using Zope 2.5.0 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), and the python 2.1.3 distribution of from python.org as a service on a Windows 2000 server. I have heard that there is a way to debug zope and save error messages to a text file using the "STUPID_LOG_FILE" parameter however I'm not clear on how to implement this. I have tried adding the the paramter, STUPID_LOG_FILE=Zope.log to the Z2.py file. I modified the command line parameters "C:\Python21\python.exe" "C:\PROGRA~1\Zope\z2.py" -S for the registry value at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Zope\Parameters\start to "C:\Python21\python.exe" "C:\PROGRA~1\Zope\z2.py" -S -D STUPID_LOG_FILE=Zope.log or should this be "C:\Python21\python.exe" "C:\PROGRA~1\Zope\z2.py" -S -D EVENT_LOG_FILE=Zope.log ??? Still, when I restart Zope, I'm not seeing the log file. Does anyone know how I might set this up properly on a Windows Machine? Alternatively, has anyone configured the z2.py file (or windows registry) to use a syslog utility (such as the Kwiki Syslog Daemon), found here: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/info_syslog.htm Sincerely, John T.

Maybe you have an error page somewhere which also contains those words? Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Rotating Zope Log Files on Windows
by kjzz.webmaster＠riomail.maricopa.edu 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

I am using Zope 2.5.0 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), and the python 2.1.3 distribution of from python.org as a service on a Windows 2000 server. I am looking for a solution to rotate zope log files on windows. I just started writing a batch file to accomplish this, and it seems to work fairly well: net stop ZOPE_INSTANCE_SERVICE_NAME FOR /f "tokens=6-8 delims=/ " %%G IN ('NET TIME \\%computername%') DO ( SET _mm=%%G SET _dd=%%H SET _yy=%%I ) FOR /f "tokens=1,2 delims=: " %%G IN ('time/t') DO ( SET _hr=%%G SET _min=%%H ) ECHO Today is Year: [%_yy%] Month: [%_mm%] Day: [%_dd%] ECHO The time is: [%_hr%]:[%_min%] REN "C:\Zope_2_8_1_instance\log\Z2.log" "%_file%-%_yy%-%_mm%-%_dd%(a)%_hr%-%_min%.log" del Z2.log rundll32.exe >C:\Zope_2_8_1_instance\log\Z2.log net start Zope net start ZOPE_INSTANCE_SERVICE_NAME I am thinking of using windows scheduler to run this every night at midnight. But I wonder if anyone else worked on a similar solution and could pass along any advice. Or, conversely, does anyone know how to configure Zope 2.5.0 to send information that would normally be saved to the Z2.log file to a syslog utility, (such as the Kwiki Syslog Daemon), found here: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/info_syslog.htm Sincerely, John T.

logging from external methods
by Jed Parsons 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

I'm trying to perform some logging from external methods. I've discovered that, if you're not careful, you get more and more loggers each time Zope reloads the module. This leads to an ever-increasing number of identical entries in the log file, whose timestamps all match down to the millisecond. Currently, thanks to the helpful folks on python-list, I've got it down to two entries per time. My goal is to get exactly one log entry per event logged :) Here's the code I'm using in an external module. I set up a global _logger instance that various methods in the module use: import logging _logger = logging.getLogger("lois.access") _logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) if not _logger.handlers: _handler = logging.FileHandler(os.path.join(LOG_ROOT, 'access.log')) _formatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s %(name)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s") _handler.setFormatter(_formatter) _logger.addHandler(_handler) _logger.propagate = 0 Each time a method calls _logger.info("some event"), I get duplicate entries, like so: 2006-03-31 15:07:57,676 lois.access INFO: get wiki_ldap 0.html (jedp) 2006-03-31 15:07:57,676 lois.access INFO: get wiki_ldap 0.html (jedp) The _logger.handlers test is there to make sure I don't spawn a new handler each time the module gets reloaded. This makes a huge difference; without it, the number of duplicates grows and grows. Can anyone tell me how to get a logger to leave just one log entry from an external module? Many thanks.

Strange behavior with TAL and python: expressions
by Floyd May 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Great and mighty Zope gurus, I have a template which calls a macro. Within the template, I tal:define a variable, 'form'. Within the macro, the 'form' variable (which is an FSForm object) is defined as None unless I access it using python expressions. If I attempt to do anything with attributes of 'form', I get an AttributeError indicating that the NoneType object, form, doesn't have the attribute that I'm looking for. However, I can use 'form' any way I want inside the template that calls the macro. It seems that the macro call somehow lost part of the information associated with the 'form' variable. I worked around the problem by defining form using a python expression instead of a pure TALES expression. I was also able to work around the issue by accessing 'form' within the macro using python expressions instead of TALES. Why would this happen? Is this expected? I'm using Zope 2.7.5 and Formulator 1.9. I'm not sure what other products to list here; this seems like a ZPT-related thing. Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide.

Hello, I have a problem with my archetype, I'm using dependent lists. I've downloaded the MasterSelectWidget product, but I have a problem with it. In my archetype I have a master field and a slave one, I install the archetype, I add an object of this type to my portal, but when I load the saved object and try to edit it, I see that the slave field (a selection widget) don't have the value that I have selected. How can I solve it? Is there any alternative to MasterSelect widget? Thanks ! TERRA -->

ZopeTime in Zope 2.9.1
by JoseLuis de la Rosa Triviño 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Hello, I've been using the product WhoOnline on zope 2.8.4 with CPS 3.3.8, now I have migrated to zope 2.9.1, cmf 1.6 and CPS 3.4 and when I try to install WhoOnline (with an external method and with CMFGenericSetup) I get an error because ZopeTime is not available. Does anybody knows how to make ZopeTime available in zope 2.9.1? Or is there any alternative product for zope 2.9.1? Thank you very much.

Adding an RSS Aggregator
by Chris Purves 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Hello, I would like to add an RSS aggregator to my Zope site. I have found SilvaNews and CMFSin, but these require either the Silva or Plone CMF, which I would prefer not to set up just to get the aggregator. What would be the simplest way to add an aggregator to my Zope site? I have a basic 2.7 install. Thanks. -- Good day, eh. Chris

reading cookies from external methods
by Jed Parsons 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

This is probably a silly question, but how does one read cookies from an external method without passing REQUEST to the method? The method should be callable both from dtml and from other external methods. I know I can do this: def foo(REQUEST): cookie = REQUEST.get('some_cookie') return cookie Can I get the same cookie without requiring boty my dtml methods and my other scripts and external methods that call foo() to be able to pass the REQUEST object? I'd like other methods to be able to say this: val = foo() # good without requiring them to be able to do this: val = foo(REQUEST) # bad Likewise, I'd much rather say this: <dtml-var foo>  than this: <dtml-var expr="foo(RESPONSE)">  If I've just revealed myself to be tremendously ignorant of the right way of doing all these things in Zope, great! Please enlighten me.
