turning off inheritance
by Kyler B. Laird 13 Dec '00

13 Dec '00

I am working on generating a directory from Zope objects. There is a folder full of units (other folders). These units contain people (more folders). Units and people both have contact information stored in their properties. How do I detect if a person has, for example, 'contact_email' set? I've tried <dtml-if "_.hasattr(this(), 'contact_email')"> It succeeds if the person doesn't have contact_email set but its unit does. I've also tried variations of <dtml-with ... only>, with no success. Any pointers? Where could I have found the answer to this on my own? Thank you. --kyler

HTTPServer.py patch
by Oleg Broytmann 13 Dec '00

13 Dec '00

Hi! With the recent patch I have problems connecting directly to ZServer (port 8080) - Zope reported error 500 and restarted itself. Connecting through Apache+mod_pcgi2 works. I reverted the patch (restored HTTPServer.py from backup) and can connect to ZServer again. Something wrong with te patch!

Problems with adding tutorial
by Bob Sidebotham 13 Dec '00

13 Dec '00

(I submitted this as a bug report, and then I later discovered this list. So perhaps it's overkill to send this here, too. Normally I would have sent it here first, then filed a bug report if it was obvious that it was a new bug. So I apologize for the redundancy). When I click "ADD" to add a zope tutorial, I get a dialog box from my browser that says "unable to locate server localhost:8080". If I click anything else, then the server seems to restart (I'm running with z2.py -D). I don't get any error messages, other than the server restart messages. If I do two ADD's in a row (i.e. attempt to add the tutorial a second time), then the server terminates after restarting once. I did see the messages regarding creating a non-admin user and authenticating as that user (by first terminating the zope process). I did all that. Any ideas? I'm a complete newbie, so it'd be helpful to be able to run through the tutorial. Please note that I'm using the latest zope tarball: Linux Mandrake 6.0, zope2.3.0a1, Python 2.0, Communicator 4.6.

Advanced Transactions:
by Paolo Quaglia 13 Dec '00

13 Dec '00

Hi All, I'm building a high transaction traffic db application using Zope. I used for this tests two DB: MSAccess 97 and SQL Server 7.0 with the ZODBCDA product I have made some tests and I have found this: The test is: I have two DTML document called Test1 and Test2 I have 2 ZSQL Queries called Select1 and Select2 I have an external method (which id is Wait) that call the time.sleep(10) #it sleeps 10 seconds Test1 calls Select1 and then the Wait() Test2 calls Select2 First transaction test: Select1 and Select2 queries are equal:= select * from Users where name='example' I call test1 in a browser and immediately after test2 in another Browser. RESULT: Test2 wait the end of test1 before the page was displayed Second Transaction test: Select1 = select * from Users where name='example' Select2 = select * from Products where id='example' I call test1 in a browser and immediately after test2 in another Browser. RESULT: Test2 wait the end of test1 before the page was displayed!! Third Transaction test: Select1 = select * from Users where name='example' on the Access Connection Select2 = select * from Products where id='example' on the SQL sever Connection I call test1 in a browser and immediately after test2 in another Browser. RESULT: Test2 wait the end of test1 before the page was displayed!!!!!!!!!! :( Now Summarizing: I think the Zope transaction Server works in every Zope operation. This is good, but it seems that it uses a bad locking method. I mean when I read a DB (usually a select) I wouldn't to lock the entire DB and I would let the other DB session free to call select statements!! Am I right?? Or I do some mistake?? Thanks Very much for your cooperation Paolo Quaglia Information Technology Coordinator Sitek S.p.A. paolo(a)sitek.it

SiteAccess, SSL + SiteRootBASE
by jeremie＠jarna.com 13 Dec '00

13 Dec '00

Hi everyone, I am using Apache+Zserver+SSL (see How-to from TJ. Mannos), and it works fine. The thing is that I have to set manually a SiteRoot Object in a ssl Folder to make all this work and I would like to do it dynamically! So, when I create my SiteRoot object and enter "https://www.fightclub.com" as base, the page also displays a comment saying: "If Base is not set, the SiteRoot will first attempt to acquire SiteRootBASE and then search the REQUEST for it. The same holds for Path and SiteRootPATH." So I was thinking that maybe I could set SiteRootBASE dynamically and make it work the same. Unfortunately, I made some attempts and it does not seem to work. Does anybody have any idea of how to make it work? Thanx, jeremie

Changing a Zclass meta type doesn't work
by Ivan Cornell 13 Dec '00

13 Dec '00

Hi all, I've finally tracked down the bug that was preventing me from using copy/paste/rename with my ZClasses (_verifyObjectPaste exceptions). It's caused by the fact that I changed their meta type names after creation to allow them to be stored easily in a tokens attribute (I removed the spaces). The all_meta_types method used by verifyObjectPaste appears to return the original meta_type of a ZClass, even if you rename it, and so the comparison fails. This is because all_meta_types actually uses the 'add list name' of the factory, and changing this appears to work. I think it would good if the latter's importance it is hilighted - that it isn't just the text that appears in the 'Add Product List'. Regards, Ivan PS Yes, the above took 3 hours.
