frameset bug in latest Zope 2.3.1
by Jason Cunliffe 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

Latest version of Zope 2.3.1 renders an HTML frameset error [Win98se, IE5.1]: The top margin displays the same as the left-hand menu margin. Previous beta versions showed Zope logo etc. The problem lies within the DTML being accessed by the first 2 methods: manage_top_frame manage_menu manage_workspace - Jason ___________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS['Interactive Art and Technology']

Re: [Zope] Getting a date into an object title - DON'T Disregard
by complaw＠hal-pc.org 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

Therapy or not, I spoke too soon. I did manage to get a time in as part of the title. Unfortunately, the time that I got was ZopeTime(). What I want to get in is the time (really a date) set by the user. This date is taken in as input from the form page, it is then sent to a DTML Method that then calls the Python script. As I mentioned before, the parameter in question is "contact_date". If I try to set myTitle = '%d' % contact_date then I get an error. However, if I try to set myTitle = '%d' % report_title then I don't get an error. The report_title parameter was set in the DTML Method that was called by the HTML form. that code is <dtml-let report_title="ZopeTime()"> Unfortunately, if I set <dtml-let report_title=contact_date> I get an error. Note, the </dtml-let> is AFTER the call to the python script. Is there something I'm missing?

RE:Zope Misconfiguration

When I try this I get the same error as before. it still tries to access the site root in http://www.whatever.com/www/www.whatever.com/ Is there a configuration file I could delete? I have tried uninstalling both the zserver and zope packages and removing the /var/zope directory, but to no avail.

zSQl and changing connection ids?
by David Hassalevris 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

Hello Zope listers!, Im about 3 months into Zope and find it persistently interesting and humbling! Here's my question: Can I dynamically change zSQL method's CONNECTION ID? If so, 1) Would I use the "object manager?" 2) can this be done safely? One consultant warned against this saying it could create a "race condition" ... "if more than one user tried this simultaneously". Example: zSQL-method-1 has a default connection-id to a gvibDA Interbase Connection which, in turn has a connection string attaching it to say, our "los-angeles" database. But a another client, in another folder, needs to connect to a different (but identically structured) database. It would be nice to be able to "temporarily" alter zSQL-method-1's connection-id to another gvibDA Connection (which points to a different database). Clearly, I could write a "second set" of zSQL methods that only differ from the first in terms of which database connection it refers to. But then one is maintaining an additional set of zSQL methods for each new client :-( What kinds of solutions can anyone recommend in cases like this? Much thanks, David ps - this is my first post to the group, forgive if I did this incorrectly.

Hi, I find that for every database connection I made, the test page textbox is too small. Set Preference doesn't help. Michael

problem with european date parsing
by Oliver Frommel 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

Hello, I encountered a problem when trying to use european date format with Zope. When I pass a value:date from a form to dtml or python script, Zope tries to parse this value. However when the date format is ambigous it swaps month and date, i.e. when I have a date 1.2.2001 (first of february) Zope makes this 2.1.2001 internally. So I was using a python script which assumes that Zope does this and swap the values myself: in dtml: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('date', swapmd(inputdate))"> with python script (param date): return DateTime(date.year(), date.day(), date.month()) now when date.day() is bigger than 11, Zope _does_ parse the date correctly. This lead to my new script: if date.day() > 11: newdate = DateTime(date.year(), date.month(), date.day()) else: newdate = DateTime(date.year(), date.day(), date.month()) return newdate which is somehow ugly and may fail neverthelesse .. So is there a way to supply a format string to Zope to make it parse my Date correctly (similar to output "%d.%m.%Y" e.g.)?? thanks for your help --Oliver

INSTANCE_HOME example
by Timothy Wilson 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

Hey everyone, I wonder if someone would be so kind as to post an example of how they're using INSTANCE_HOME and SOFTWARE_HOME on a Linux server. Which directories are you using for them? What does your start script look like? I've searched the list and read the "Make your life easier with INSTANCE_HOME" How-To, but I'm just not quite putting it together. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.

RE:ZServer dying

Hi folks, like Sven & Philip i have to report similar strange happenings on our server Profile: RH Linux 7.0 on a Compaq Alpha 1Gig Ram Zope 2.3.0 Postgres 7.0.3 w_pcgi configuration with Zope.cgi and Apache psycopg Postgres DA we tried also PoPy as DA connector but still the same result ... it seems to me, if all those cases are related, that RH7.0 and Postgres are used on all machines where this phenomen occurs. we have on this server an average hitcount of 3000 hits per hour so i suppose you can imagine that it is not really funny to restart a production server every hour. zope runs under 6 python threads ... 7119 nobody 1 0 27848 27M 3440 S 0.2 1.3 0:12 python 7124 nobody 0 0 27848 27M 3440 S 0.0 1.3 0:00 python 7125 nobody 10 0 27848 27M 3440 S 5.2 1.3 0:34 python 7126 nobody 0 0 27848 27M 3440 S 0.0 1.3 0:27 python 7127 nobody 0 0 27848 27M 3440 S 0.0 1.3 0:34 python 7128 nobody 0 0 27848 27M 3440 S 0.0 1.3 0:25 python 7143 postgres 5 0 6200 6200 4240 S 2.9 0.3 3:01 postmaster 8455 postgres 0 0 5840 5840 4136 S 0.0 0.2 0:20 postmaster 7118 root 0 0 5056 5056 2216 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 python 2511 apache 1 0 4344 4344 3896 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 httpd 2998 apache 3 0 4344 4344 3896 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 httpd 4755 apache 0 0 4344 4344 3896 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 httpd 6600 apache 0 0 4344 4344 3896 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 httpd 3573 apache 2 0 4336 4336 3896 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 httpd 4327 apache 1 0 4336 4336 3896 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 httpd 8726 apache 0 0 4336 4336 3896 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 httpd 6231 apache 0 0 4320 4320 3880 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 httpd 7414 apache 2 0 4320 4320 3880 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 httpd 7780 apache 4 0 4320 4320 3880 S 0.0 .................. the memory usage of the python threads grows slowly but constantly until zope dies .... has anyone a hint? What would be the best method to locate the memory leak? Thank you Francisco Webber
