Do you have an example of the XML you are trying to use? File size, in bytes? Just curious, as I have had no problems with XMLDocument (in Zope 2.1.x and 2.2.x) working with newspaper stories from AP online in NITF XML...

Design/DTML question
by Timothy Wilson 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

Hi everyone, I'm working on a Web page for our local school board. I'd like to create a table that would display links to past board meeting minutes. The table would look like this: (Note: dates are bogus) +---------------------------------------+ | Meeting Minutes | | | | Monday, Jan. 10 Monday, Mar. 7 | | Tuesday, Jan. 24 Monday, Mar. 20 | | Monday, Feb. 7 Monday, Apr. 5 | | Monday, Feb. 27 Tues., Apr. 19 | | | | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | +---------------------------------------+ By default, dates for the current year would be displayed, but clicking on the years at the bottom of the table would display those dates. Right now, I've got the dates stored in a TinyTable. I can iterate through that list and generate the links, but I can't figure out how to display the table in two columns. <dtml-in meetingDateTable> <tr><td><dtml-var meeting_date></td></tr> </dtml-in> will print the dates in a single column, but how can I iterate through and refer to two different dates in one <dtml-in> pass? (Does that make sense?) The second thing I'm tring to figure out is how to make the year links at the bottom generate the new table of dates from a different TinyTable. Maybe I should use the same TinyTable for all of the meeting dates and pull out whichever year I need when the table is rendered. I'm also wondering if I should implement these meeting minutes and agendas in a ZClass. At first it seemed like this would be too simple to bother with, but now I'm wondering if a ZClass would be a better approach. I'd appreciate any comments. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.

Ok, using Postgresql 7.0.2-2, PoPo 2.0.1, ZPoPyDA 1.1-pre2, Zope 2.2.5, here's a reproducible scenario: Create the following tables in your database: create table bugtest1 ( name text, domain text, ); create table bugtest2 ( name text, domain text, refer text, foreign key(refer) references bugtest1(name) ); insert into bugtest1 values ('a','aa'); insert into bugtest1 values ('b','bb'); insert into bugtest1 values ('c','cc'); insert into bugtest2 values ('w','ww','a'); insert into bugtest2 values ('x','xx','a'); insert into bugtest2 values ('y','yy','a'); insert into bugtest2 values ('z','zz','a'); insert into bugtest2 values ('g','gg','b'); insert into bugtest2 values ('h','hh','b'); insert into bugtest2 values ('i','hh','b'); Create the following folder structure: /root dbconn (ZPoPyDA connection to whatever database you just put the tables in) index_html get_host (Z SQL method) get_alias (Z SQL method) /alias show /host show /root/get_host select * from bugtest1 /root/get_alias select * from bugtest2 <dtml-sqlgroup where> <dtml-sqltest name column=refer type=string> </dtml-sqlgroup> /root/alias/show <TR><TD></TD><TD>&dtml-name;</TD><TD>&dtml-domain;</TD></TR> /root/host/host <TR><TD>&dtml-name;</TD><TD>&dtml-domain;</TD></TR> /root/index_html: 1: <dtml-var standard_html_header> 2: <TABLE> 3: <dtml-in get_host> 4: <dtml-with host><dtml-var show></dtml-with> 5: <dtml-in "get_alias(name=name)"> 6: <dtml-let name2=name 7: domain2=domain> 8: <dtml-with alias> 9: <TR><TD>POINT A</TD><TD>&dtml-name;</TD><TD>&dtml-domain;</TD></TR> 10: <TR><TD>POINT B</TD><TD>&dtml-name2;</TD><TD>&dtml-domain2;</TD></TR> 11: <dtml-var show> 12: </dtml-with> 13: <TR><TD>POINT C</TD><TD>&dtml-name;</TD><TD>&dtml-domain;</TD></TR> 14: <TR><TD>POINT D</TD><TD>&dtml-name2;</TD><TD>&dtml-domain2;</TD></TR> 15: </dtml-let> 16: </dtml-in> 17: </dtml-in> 18: </TABLE> 19: <dtml-var standard_html_footer> The output of all that is (a bit hard to read): a aa POINT A a aa POINT B w ww a aa POINT C w ww POINT D w ww POINT A a aa POINT B x xx a aa POINT C x xx POINT D x xx POINT A a aa POINT B y yy a aa POINT C y yy POINT D y yy POINT A a aa POINT B z zz a aa POINT C z zz POINT D z zz <snipped for clarity> So: at point A, the "name" and "domain" variables have been overwritten with the "name" and "domain" variables as they were on line 6/7, *BUT* name2 and domain2 haven't been overwritten (point B). BUT, outside the dtml-with tab (point C) "name" and "domain" are at their correct values. So - given that the dtml-with tag "must" work, I'm clearly not understanding *how* it works.

Sorry - I'm being unclear: the result is exactly the same either way i.e. the variables "name" and "domain" seem to be reset to the values from outside the dtml-in block when entering the dtml-with block. I'm wondering if it's a bug in the postgres DA, since I can't reproduce it with a quick gadfly test. I'm just going to try it out now. I'm using Zope 2.2.5, PoPy 2.0.1 from SourceForce, and ZPoPyDA-1.1-pre2 - I couldn't get any (potentially more stable) combination of PoPy or ZPoPyDA to work.

That was how I had the code originally. Didn't help. I've already read the Zope 'book' (if I were using 2.3 (which I can't, because LoginManager doesn't work OOTB), I'd be using Python methods to do most of this instead. I'm not, I'm using 2.2.5) Thanks anyway.

Special-name of variables called 'name' or 'domain'
by Mayers, Philip J 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

I've got some SQL method, and a folder structure, and am seeing some *very* annoying results. Namely, <dtml-with> seems to cancel out variable assignments from an enclosing <dtml-in> /root get_machine_hosts (SQL method) get_host_aliases (SQL method) show (dtml method) /host show (dtml method) /alias show (dtml method) get_machine_hosts takes 'machineid' and returns 'name','domain','ip', e.g. (for a 5-homed box) get_machine_hosts('535252'): www,random.com,192.168.3.2 mail,hosting.com,192.168.3.3 news,random.com,192.168.3.4 sqldb,random.com,192.168.3.5 workstation,random.com,192.168.3.6 get_host_aliases takes 'ip' and returns 'name','domain' e.g. get_host_aliases('192.168.3.3') [mail.random.com] 'pop3','random.com' 'smtp','random.com' 'mail','random.com' 'imap','random.com' But, I'm having problems with the 'in' and 'with' tags using the variable 'name'. The DTML methods are: /root/show <dtml-in get_machine_hosts> <dtml-with host><dtml-var show></dtml-with> </dtml-in> /root/host/show <TR> <TD>&dtml-ip;</TD> <TD>&dtml-name;</TD> <TD>&dtml-domain;</TD> </TR> <dtml-in get_host_aliases> <dtml-comment>POINT A</dtml-with> <dtml-with alias> <dtml-comment>POINT B</dtml-with> <dtml-var show> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> /root/alias/show <TR> <TD></TD> <TD>&dtml-name;</TD> <TD>&dtml-domain;</TD> </TR> Now, assuming I'm looking at machineid 535252 (mail.random.com) I get this: | 192.168.3.3 | mail | hosting.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | mail | hosting.com | That is, the variable 'name' and 'domain' aren't set correctly. But, if I modify /root/host/show as follows: <TR> <TD>&dtml-ip;</TD> <TD>&dtml-name;</TD> <TD>&dtml-domain;</TD> </TR> <dtml-in get_host_aliases> <dtml-comment>POINT A</dtml-with> <TR> <TD></TD> <TD>&dtml-name;</TD> <TD>&dtml-name;</TD> </TR> <dtml-with alias> <dtml-comment>POINT B</dtml-with> <dtml-var show> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> I get: | 192.168.3.3 | mail | hosting.com | | | pop3 | random.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | imap | random.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | smtp | random.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | webmail | random.com | | | mail | hosting.com | It would appear that the <dtml-with alias> tag wipes out the 'name' and 'domain' variables back to the values they had outside the <dtml-in get_host_aliases> tag, so calling /root/alias/show gives wrong data. Very odd. *BUT*, if I use 'aliasname' and 'aliasdomain' as the variable names, everything is OK. WTF? While I'm at it, is <dtml-with foldername><dtml-var dtmlmethod></dtml-with> really the best way to call a DTML method of a folder? Regard, Phil

Memory problems
by Tom Deprez 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

Hi, Since a few days I'm experiencing some response problems on my zope site. At some moments calling a page goes very fast a few seconds later, recalling this page takes very long! At the end, every page takes long time, if they ever appear.... If I use a simple memory checker program, then I see that memory leaks away.... (memory goes from 48Mfree to 41M in 15min!! and eventially it ends at a few thousands K) However, I've no idea if it is comming from Zope 2.2.5 or from my database adapter in zope, or from somewhere else.... Is there a good way to check memory leaks and to pinpoint them? If I ask to show me the processes on my Linux box, I see the following related ones : /usr/local/zope/bin/python /usr/local/zope/z2.py -Z /home/httpd/zope/var/zProcess.pid (root) /usr/local/zope/bin/python /usr/local/zope/z2.py -Z /home/httpd/zope/var/zProcess.pid (nobody) /usr/local/zope/bin/python /usr/local/zope/z2.py -Z /home/httpd/zope/var/zProcess.pid (nobody) /usr/local/zope/bin/python /usr/local/zope/z2.py -Z /home/httpd/zope/var/zProcess.pid (nobody) /usr/local/zope/bin/python /usr/local/zope/z2.py -Z /home/httpd/zope/var/zProcess.pid (nobody) /usr/local/zope/bin/python /usr/local/zope/z2.py -Z /home/httpd/zope/var/zProcess.pid (nobody) /usr/local/zope/bin/python /usr/local/zope/z2.py -Z /home/httpd/zope/var/zProcess.pid (nobody) gds_inet_server # Interbase Database Remote Server (root) gds_inet_server # Interbase Database Remote Server (root) Is it normal that zope opens so much processes? Thanks in advance, Tom.

REPOST: dtml-with doesn't work

Hopefully that will get someone's attention. I have an SQL method that returns (name,domain,otherstuff) I have a DTML method (/root/host/show) that looks like this: <dtml-comment> 'name' and 'domain' are set to the primary hostname and domain at this point by whatever calls this DTML method POINT A </dtml-comment> <dtml-in "HDB_get_ip_aliases(ip=ip)"> <dtml-comment>POINT B</dtml-comment> <dtml-let name2=name domain2=domain> <dtml-with alias> <dtml-comment>POINT C</dtml-comment> <dtml-with "_.namespace(name=name2,domain=domain2)"> <dtml-comment>POINT D</dtml-comment> <dtml-var show> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> The folder structure is: /root /alias show /host show At the points marked B and D, <dtml-var name> and <dtml-var domain> work fine, but at point B, name and domain have been reset to what they were at point A. Why? This is totally broken - I'm *this* far from downloading the servlet engine and giving up completely. Zope appears to be completely non-intuitive in many respects, and combined with the generally lamentable documentation, is taking up more of my time than I'm willing to spend on a theoretically simple task.
