ZPOP Popularity Property ?
by Jason Cunliffe 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Hello I want to add a property to folders, documents and certain objects called 'popularity'. Can anyone offer some Zope advice how I might achieve the following: 1. Maintain an updated count of hits to those objects storing the number of hits, or preferrably an some offfset processed version of that number in 'popularity'. The processed value could take into account when and where the hits came from. 2. Search through folders and subfolders, checking objects 'popularity' value, and then return ordered lists to display of most/least popular. Preferably these lists would be Python dictionaries, and could be stored externally using BerkeleyStorageDB or similar so as not to extend the ZODB uneccesarily with small transaction data. This is inspired in part by a cool interface idea at: http://rhizome.org/starrynight/ <quote> Description When a new text is read for the first time on the Rhizome website, it appears on StarryNight as a dim star. Each time a text gets read again-by any Internet user around the world-the corresponding star gets a bit brighter. Over time, the page comes to resemble a starry night sky, with bright stars corresponding to the most popular texts in the database, and dim stars corresponding to less-popular ones. Dragging the mouse over one of the stars brings up a pop-up list of keywords that the corresponding text shares with other texts. Select a keyword in the pop-up list to draw a constellation linking all the stars that share that keyword. </quote> I have other plans how to 'render' the popularity results, including as boring but very useful XHMTL tables, using Zwiff [Zope Flash product based on Ming. see http://www.zope.org/Members/sspickle/Zwiff/] Thanks - Jason ___________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS['Interactive Art and Technology']

[ZClass]User Form to add an Instance of one ZClass to an instance of another ZClass of another ZClass
by Farrell, Troy 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Hello all- Being new to ZClasses, I'm having some difficulties. I have a ZClass NetShowLogFile. I can add this to normal Folder Objects through the management interface. I have a second ZClass StreamingEvent. I would like an user to be able to add a NetShowLogFile to an existing Folder Object logs inside StreamingEvent. StreamingEvent L__logs (folder object) L__newNetShowLogFile (DTML method) L__newNetShowLogFileForm (DTML method) If I have a BigEvent StreamingEvent and a user goes to: http://localhost/BigEvent/newNetShowLogFileForm They get a form where they upload a log file through a <form action="newNetShowLogFile" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> If newNetShowLogFile only says: <dtml-var REQUEST> none of the form variables are passed by NS6. 1)Netscape 6 (WINNT 4) is not passing REQUEST properly when the form enctype is multipart/form-data. Anybody else seen this? IE5.5 seems to get it okay. Next: newNetShowLogFile looks like this: <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('id')"> <dtml-with logs> <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['NetShowLogFile']"> <dtml-var "NetShowLogFile_add(_.None, _, REQUEST)"> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> <dtml-else> Netscape lost the REQUEST again. </dtml-if> This calls NetShowLogFile_add in the same way the management UI does. However, IE is not able to do the <dtml-call "propertysheets.NetShowLogFileProperties.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)">. I keep getting the error that I am unauthorized to access manage_editProperties. I don't know which permissions I need to adjust on the ZClass. Thanks for reading my long email. In case you are curious, I am writing a Zope/Python-based streaming media log file analyzer.

RE: [Zope] Adding content type to internet explorer
by Farrell, Troy 16 Jan '01

In W95/NT: Open a File Explorer window (not IE) and select Options from the View menu. The popup will have a tab labeled File Types. This is how you change windows MIME types. In W98/2k: I don't remember and I don't have it with me. It is a similar option under IE (since there is no normal explorer. The settings are stored in the registry, but this is the easiest way to edit them. Please try to keep the list topics to zope. Thanks.

Re: Zope and OpenBSD 2.8 news?

I just asked the question on the OBSD misc list. If OBSD's threads lib is the problem then we need to create some traffic *there* to be heard and not here on the Zope list. So please join the thread on misc and we might get a fix sooner.

Re: [Zope] My Add list is so full...

<simple solution untested> Add a (lines) property (called: i_filter_meta_types) in the root of the meta_type name of the objects you don't want to use. I.e DTML Document XMLDocument .... Next, you modify the file main.dtml in lib/python/OFS At around line 95-100 you'll see this: <dtml-in filtered_meta_types mapping sort=name> <OPTION value="<dtml-var action fmt="url-quote">"><dtml-var name> </dtml-in> Change this to something like this: <dtml-in filtered_meta_types mapping sort=name> <dtml-unless "name in i_filter_meta_types"> <OPTION value="<dtml-var action fmt="url-quote">"><dtml-var name> </dtml-unless> </dtml-in> </simple solution untested> <Peter Bengtsson /> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francois-regis Chalaoux" <Francois-regis.Chalaoux(a)sanofi-synthelabo.com> To: <zope(a)zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 8:44 AM Subject: [Zope] My Add list is so full... > Hi, > > Since long time ago I have this reflexion.

Well that doesn't help much, but at least your problem has a name now. Other than that there is nothing to do about it. Regards Max M ;-)
