Does anyone know about any web games written in Zope, something akin to Blacknova.net, which is written in PHP ? The source is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/blacknova/.

Yes, indeed, it is in $ZOPE_HOME/bin. This means that when you run python, you are probably not running the python that zope is running. I think, but am not totally sure, that the PoPymodule.so would have to go in $ZOPE_HOME/lib/python1.5 and zope restarted for it to become available. (Would you try this and tell me if it works, please?) Alternatively, one could edit z2.py to NOT use Zope's python, or one could install the source package. I actually recommend the latter course. It is a dead easy install.

a little problem - $1 reward!
by Lee 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

Hi there, If someone could have a quick look at this I would really appreciate it! I cannot for the life of me understand this... I have a DTML method taking in parameters for use with sendmail, which when I *display* appear correct but when I *send* are altered slightly. I know where the problem lies (it's obvious) but I can't see what the problem is. Here's my DTML method: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('recipients',[])"> <dtml-in "REQUEST.form.items()"> <dtml-if expr="_['sequence-key'] in ('message','sender','senderEmail','subject')"> <input type="hidden" name="<dtml-var sequence-key>" value="<dtml-var sequence-item>"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "recipients.append(_['sequence-key'])"> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> <dtml-sendmail mailhost="MailHost"> To: <dtml-var "_.string.join(recipients,'@cs.strath.ac.uk, ')">@cs.strath.ac.uk From: <dtml-var sender> Reply-To: <dtml-var senderEmail> Subject: <dtml-var subject> X-Mailer: ZAPHOD Mail Client V1.0 <dtml-var message> </dtml-sendmail> <h2>Cheers, <dtml-var sender>!</h2> <p>Your message has been sent.</p> ^ My problem lies with the To/From parts in the <sendmail>. When the message has been sent... -=-==--=-= I should see: Subject: Hello Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 08:30:11 +0000 From: Lee Reply-To: lee.reilly(a)ntlworld.com To: ltyler(a)cs.strath.ac.uk, lreilly(a)cs.strath.ac.uk -=-==--=-= but I see: Subject: Hello Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 08:30:11 +0000 From: Lee(a)cs.strath.ac.uk <---- why is the @cs.strath.ac.uk still appended? Reply-To: lee.reilly(a)ntlworld.com To: ltyler(a)cs.strath.ac.uk, lreilly(a)cs.strath.ac.uk <dtml-var sender> gives me 'Lee' Clearly, there is a problem with : To: <dtml-var "_.string.join(recipients,'@cs.strath.ac.uk, ')">@cs.strath.ac.uk From: <dtml-var sender> i.e the @cs.strath.ac.uk is still lingering... but why? without the '@cs.strath.ac.uk' at the end of the var the last email address would not be complete i.e. it be "lreilly". even when i put another tag in place of from, e.g. 'X-Mailer:' is still renders From='Lee(a)cs.strath.ac.uk'. I know it's asking a lot but can anyone tell me what the problem is? I'm confused and the coffee isn't helping anymore! - Thanks, Lee -- Lee Reilly mailto:lee.reilly@ntlworld.com ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,, HAVE SKILLS; WILL TRAVEL.

Zope gets stuck
by Shai Berger 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

Hi guys, We've repeatedly encountered a weird situation where Zope gets stuck. Then, when we kill one of the Zope processes, it is released and answers requests. Has anybody encountered anything like this? I know this is a little short on information, but we are still trying to figure more ourselves. The stats: Zope version: Zope 2.2.5 (binary release, python 1.5.2, linux2-x86) Python version: 1.5.2 (#10, Dec 6 1999, 12:16:27) [GCC 2.7.2.3] System Platform: linux2 We're using Oracle and ZOracleDA too, but this time they seem not to be the culprits... Thanks, Shai.

DCOracle with Python 2.0?
by Michelle Walden 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

I'm having zero success getting DCOracle to build with any version of Python using the included Makefile.pre.in files. Anyone with a working DCOracle install on RedHat 6.1 who might be willing to offer suggestions or donate binaries will receive many thanks from my programmer. Thanks in advance! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Michelle Walden UNIX Systems Administrator Informations Systems Laboratory Applied Research Labs University of Texas 10000 Burnet Road F0253 Austin, TX 78758 512.835.3158 mwalden(a)arlut.utexas.edu

z2.py
by Wolfgang Strobl 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

While analyzing a problem, I had a quick look into z2.py, and frankly, I don't understand the logic behind the so called "required path hackery for the win32 binary distribution". This hack unnecessarily makes the z2.py location dependant. The installer rewrites the z2.py source, inserting the absolute path of the zope home into a variable, from where it is used in getting some python folders in front of the python path. IMHO, this is nonsense. A few lines down in z2.py, the absolute path to the zope home is constructed from sys.arg and os.cwd anyway. Why not use that? I removed the superflous stuff from the hack and moved the remaining lines down a few lines, now it comes right after the definition of 'here' and reads: import sys sys.path.insert(0, '%s/bin/lib' % here) sys.path.insert(1, '%s/bin/lib/plat-win' % here) sys.path.insert(2, '%s/bin/lib/win32' % here) sys.path.insert(3, '%s/bin/lib/win32/lib' % here) Works like a charm, both from a service (on win2000) and standalone. ws

Q's about Zope security model tweaking
by J B Bell 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

I'd like to make a 'fallback' authorization scheme for Zope. That is: If user does not exist in usual UserFolder, then authenticate against custom module (NIS, in this case) and give them Anonymous privileges. I want to do authentication for a whole subset of the site (indeed, its entire public face really), but don't want a huge userfolder build from NIS. nisUserFolder doesn't seem like the right solution since I only want to use nis if they don't auth in the customary fashion. Can anyone give me some general pointers on this admittedly broad topic? --JB

I understand people do use Win9x, but I would always recommend NT 4 workstation over 9x unless there is an overpowering need for USB. I don't use USB myself and have been using NT exclusively on the desktop since 94. When properly configured it is much more stable. Nowadays, NT5 (oops 2000) is a better choice for USB support and about as stable as 9x. But, that aside, I'm interested in your desktop uses for Zope. What sort of apps? >> From: Toby Dickenson <mbel44(a)dial.pipex.net> >> There are those of us who use Zope in desktop applications too (yes >> really), where Win9x is not an unreasonable choice. >> Toby Dickenson
