I hope this may work for others. If anyone finds the latest cvs version still giving problems with virtual hosting I'd be glad to hear about it. Thanks, -Simon

nope. i spoke too soon. in actual fact, ie 5.x performed ok. it looks like mozilla/4.7x, 6.x and opera also performed great. here's a the stats after sometime. if we could also compress gifs/jpgs, it'd be better.

Passing Namespace Arguments to ZSQL Methods
by Casey Duncan 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

The other day I learned a useful trick with ZSQL methods that I thought I would share. Normally ZSQL methods look only in the REQUEST object for their arguments. I have had an occasion though where it would be useful to pass arguments directly from the namespace just like other methods, without having to write nonsense like sqlMethod(arg1=arg1,arg2=arg2,...). I found that if you pass the ZSQL method the underscore variable (_) as an argument, it will pull its arguments from the namespace and not just REQUEST. example: <dtml-call expr="sqlMethod(_)"> I hope others of you out there find this trick beneficial as well. ===== | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan(a)kaivo.com `-----------------> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

ZSQL question
by Stefano Vedovelli 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

Hello I was making some exercises, and wanted to test the <dtml-sqltest> tag. So I wrote the following: select * from address <dtml-sqlgroup required where> <dtml-sqlgroup> <dtml-sqltest name column=name op=like type=string optional> <dtml-or> <dtml-sqltest name column=last_name op=like type=string optional> </dtml-sqlgroup> <dtml-and> <dtml-sqltest company op=like type=string optional> </dtml-sqlgroup> Following the Zope book, that should produce: select * from address if no parameters specified, or: Select * from address where (name like 'ste*' or last_name like 'ste*) in case the name param is valid and so on. Pety that I can't make it working. Everytime I run it, all conditions are rendered, regardless. So I modified it this way select * from address <dtml-sqlgroup required where> <dtml-if name> <dtml-sqlgroup> <dtml-sqltest name column=name op=like type=string optional> <dtml-or> <dtml-sqltest name column=last_name op=like type=string optional> </dtml-sqlgroup> </dtml-if> <dtml-and> <dtml-if company> <dtml-sqltest company op=like type=string optional> </dtml-if> </dtml-sqlgroup> but this way it is not like the book describes and requires some extra work, and I think it is not in the intentions of the sqlgroup/sqltest tag functionality. Now the question is: where I make it wrong? Note that I put the two parameters in the ZSQL parameters list. Thanks for the kind help! Stefano

Renting/buying a dedicated Zope server
by Eric Casteleijn 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

I finally got the company I work for to give me a chance to try a pilot project using Zope. Problem is we need a server set-up somewhere running Apache and Zope (preferably under NT as we have no *nix/nux knowhow whatever inhouse.) We found a company here in the netherlands that will host a 19" server for us cheaply, so we asked our hardware supplier for an offer on the box with apache installation (Zope i can manage myself, but i have never even seen Apache up close). They said it would cost approximately 10k for an IBM Netfinity with 2 SCSI-drives, including 12 hrs to install Apache. Somehow that seemed a little excessive to me, and even if it isn't, we can't afford to spend that much on this project right now, but we might in a few months. My question is: does anyone on the list know of a partner that can: a) sell us the hardware & Apache installation at a lower price (keeping in mind the box will have to be shipped to the Netherlands.) or b) rent us a server with Apache/Zope installed, and something like pc-anywhere running to access it from over here. We would require 24-7 service (someone to reboot the server if it hangs/crashes, not much more.) any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I know these aren't questions about Zope proper, so if this question is inappropriate for this forum, please disregard, and this newbie's apologies. cheers, ---------------------- eric casteleijn eric(a)codenamefuture.nl t 070 302 47 81 f 070 364 49 34 Codename Future Zeestraat 71 2518 AA Den Haag ----------------------

call by reference
by Arenz, Ralph 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

Hi, for some external methods in zope i have do write some python scripts. Here my question: I want do a 'function - call by reference' in python. My function definition is like that: def foo(foo1,foo2): foo1=1 foo2=2 My intention is to call the function from an other function in the python script like def foo2(): x,y=2,3 foo(x,y) I know that python is working with seperate namespaces in case of function calls, but is there a work-around for this problem. ralph

Hiding Port Number in Zope
by Eric Vautour 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

We are running Zope under an Apache server and we were wondering if there was anyway to remove the port number from the web address. For example, our web address looks as following: http://www.something.com:8080/its and we would like it to look like this http://www.something.com.its is there any way to do this?
