Re: Text truncated by Netscape (but not by Explorer)
by Pierre Dricot 06 Apr '01

Finally, we have found the solution by using the following tag <dtml-var expr="_.string.split(AUTEUR_BIO_FR)"> to display the text really transmitted through ODBC: ['Vous', 'n\222\351chapperez', 'pas', 'au', 'Colonel', 'Moutarde', '!', 'De', 'MADAME', 'FIGARO', '\340', 'MODES', '&', 'TRAVAUX,', 'Moutarde', 'enlumine', 'les', 'pages', 'des', 'plus', 'grands', 'ma\000gazines.', 'Des', 'INROCKUPTIBLES', '\340', 'OKAPI,', 'le', 'Colonel', 'baladait', 'son', 'charme', 'et', 'ses', 'images', 'aux', 'couleurs', 'lumineuses', 'quand', 'la', 'passion', 'de', '\000la', 'BD', 'l\222a', 'surpris', 'au', 'd\351tour', 'd\222une', 'page', 'de', 'L\222\311QUIPE', 'MAGAZINE.', 'Et', 'en', 'bande', 'dessin\351e', 'comme', 'en', 'illustration,', 'le', 'Colonel', 'Moutarde', 'd\000onne', 'le', 'meilleur', 'de', 'lui-m\352me', '!'] As you can see, there is a special caracter \000 is some words most probably inserted by SQL Server every 125 caracters and Netscape reacts inconsistently. The solution was simply to remove this caracter with the following tag: expr="_.string.replace(AUTEUR_BIO_FR,'\000','')" So the problem wasn't inside Zope... > Pierre Dricot a écrit : > > > A long text description is stored as ntext(16) in a MSSQL7 database and > > retrieved trough ODBC (ZODBCDA-3.1.0b2-win32-x86).

Re: [Zope] ZipFolder Problems

It happens only if the zipfile is unreadable for zipfile.py, the constructor leaves the temporary file open, os.unlink() fails. Do you use the Windows Binary distribution of Zope? May be I'll port the current zipfile.py back to Python 1.52... again. jens -- Shipping software is an unnatural act

hi all zopists, i have seen how zope works on linux when one of my friend happened to install.. and it didn't take me any time to get a comfy feeling with it. now i am trying on win nt platform.. and face some problems.. the initial installation or the start.bat doesn't get executed properly stating errors like "could not lock the database file. there must be another process that has opened the file." when there's no process which is using it. looking forward for some urgent assistance on the same. thanks and regards, madhavi.

Classes & Objects Vs Relational Databases
by Error 06 Apr '01

06 Apr '01

hello, i'd like to know whether it is best to use classes or relational databases for a (medium ?) sized project involving about 1000 new documents a month (average interconnection between them) and about 2 years of backlogs (each doc being about 1500 signs). i would love to do it entirely in zope (classes + methods + dtml) but i'm not sure wheter this is a good idea or if i can make everything i'm used to like in a relational database. to make it more clear, i'll make an example. let's say i am dealing with news-like sutff i have the following tree : news news/sport news/sport/20010406_0236 news/sport/20010406_0345 news/sport/XXXXXXXXXXXXX (being yyyymmdd_hhmm) news/art news/art/20010406_0236 news/art/20010406_0345 news/art/XXXXXXXXXXXXX (being yyyymmdd_hhmm too) i'm using classe for these yyyymmdd_hhmm objects and i'd like to sort them according to date or author both in separate folders (newest items in sports) or to pick them from both (5 most recent items from both folders for example). how do i do that in dtml ? (i'd prefer doing it in dtml than in python because people who will be in charge afterwards will have less trouble managing it). <dtml-in xxx sort="date"> would do the trick inside a folder, but how do i do it in both folders ???? furthermore, is it a good idea to keep this in the zodb or is it best to put it in another outside database (mysql most probably) ? thx, $ven

recursion in zope.
by ghaley＠mail.venaca.com 06 Apr '01

06 Apr '01

hi, recursion will be the bane of my existence. i have something like the following data structure: base_id node_num type par children in this, base id is a unique id, node num is unique for a user, par is the node num from which the instance of the node num derives, and children are the node nums that derive from the node num. the type is either a branch or a leaf. a branch can have either more branches or leaves, but not both. (in case it is not obvious, the data structure is building a tree-list). but i need to be able to traverse the tree outside of the tree-list structure to solve my problem. base_id type node_num par children 1010 B 2 1 [3, 5, 10, 25] 1011 B 3 2 [6, 7, 8, 9] 1912 L 5 2 [] 1913 L 6 3 [] 2011 L 7 3 [] 2012 L 8 3 [] 2244 L 9 3 [] 2250 B 10 2 [11, 12, 13] 2251 B 11 10 [] Rules and coding: A type of B means a branch, a type of L is a leaf. A node of a type B cannot contain both nodes of type B and type L, so a B type with the first element of a B cannot contain subsequent Leaves. And a B type with the first element of L cannot contain any other B types. i have written a method that iterates through a list of the children. if the first child points to a node that is a terminal child (L), it stops and prints out the identification of the child. it will also expand out a list of nodes containing terminal children [ good heavens this sounds grim! ] but when i try to get it to expand those sub-nodes of type B i get an error stating excessive recursion; yet, if i look (via view source) at the error screen, the source shows the expansion down to a single sub-branch, and no lower; and it never displays the error trace. a strangeness that has been popping up recently -- i.e., an error, whose source shows what i expected the method to do, but does not include an error trace. i would post the relevant code, but it is in two files and rather long. if anyone has had experience with recursion in zope and can lend some advice, or point out a how-to, i would very much appreciate it. many thanks for any pointers. ciao! greg.

Re: [Zope] to zope or not [Documentation]
by Russell Hires 06 Apr '01

06 Apr '01

I looked at the website that is refered to here, (URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap1.html) and I wonder at what point it can become a part of the official Zope documentation, if the author would allow it, actually, because it is wonderful in giving an explanation that is very detailed, yet simple and not insulting to the reader.

Ah, that is I think the only common factor: Always users > worked at the same time on Zope (viewing or managing). Does that help? Ummm.. not really. ;-) We'll continue to stagger towards a solution, however... ;-)

ZServer (still) dying (from time to time)...
by Error 06 Apr '01

06 Apr '01

[Chris] OK, I've been able to reproduce it. I have no idea of its cause however... but its definitely a Zope bug. We'll get on it. [Philip] You have saved my sanity - I thought it was me! If you're ever in London, beers are on me! [Sven] once the bug is finally dead, come to paris to get yet another free drink ;-)))) $ven
