Zope.Org: Not a good example...
by The Doctor What 02 Dec '00

02 Dec '00

I've been looking around for examples of certain objects and such. One simple example is a URL object. Zope.Org *has* this object (Link) and it is fairly nifty, even if it isn't documented (ie, it's usage etc.) but I can't find the *source* for this object anywhere! All I want is to be able to have a Link object on my Zope engine, with possibly a minor change or two, but I can't find out where to get it anyplace. This isn't the only example. I have software that I want to distribute, but I can't get the source for the Software Product/Distribution objects either! I can get the source for DTML Documents, but it doesn't do much good if they make extensive use of objects that I can't get the source for. I would like to enter a plea for *someone* at DC/Zope.Org to fix this situation!

I asked the vendor how this was done and he, obviously unaware of the details, gave me the answer that I have mentioned. This was not even recent development. So I just thought it was common knowledge. thanks and regards, Hung Jung _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

IP address and US city name
by Hung Jung Lu 02 Dec '00

02 Dec '00

Hi, I know that IP addresses in the USA follow a strict pattern of geographical locations. (Most other countries don't do that.) Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the table of IP addresses vs. city names? regards, Hung Jung _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Thin Zope SA fits 19 inch rack which is standard with most racks and ISP specification. ISPs where this rack works; Exodus, UUnet, Global Crossing, Imagenex and most ISPs The rack is for telephony spec which is shorter than most so that you can pack more horizontally according to telephone company spec. swallace wrote: > > Hi, > If I get a Thin Zope SA, do you know of a couple good > providers of rack space that would take one of your units? > Or, is it better that I try to find a local provider (Salt > Lake City)?

Installation and Startup
by Norm LaDuke 02 Dec '00

02 Dec '00

I have installed Zope on a 300Mhz K6 machine with 92 Megs of RAM running Windows 98. It seemed to install ok except that it didn't ask if I wanted to run as a service (as the documentation said it would). As a result I had to start zope with start.bat. It doesn't run. Who in the world can I talk to about this. I'd love to use the product but it's not much use to me if there's no one I can communicate with about problems - particularly problems like "It doesn't run!". Can anyone suggest a place for me to go or a way to get answers?

database query
by Lee 02 Dec '00

02 Dec '00

Is anyone familiar with Chapter 10 of the online Zope book, 'Relational Database and Connectivity'? I am trying to set up a mySQL database but I am going to go through the Gadfly examples in the book first. It couldn't make it any clearer how to construct the table but it gives me an error every time! INPUT: CREATE TABLE students ( student_id integer, first varchar, last varchar, grade float ) ERROR: The call can not be completed as dialed. Error Type: IOError Error Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/Zope-2.1.6-src/var/gadfly/demo/demo.gfl' I am using server space on ZopeSite.com. 'Permission denied' suggests to me that maybe there has been an oversite of the ZopeSite owner in defining permissions - but, as I'm relatively new to Zope, what do I know?!? If anyone can supply some advice I'd be grateful. - Best regards, Lee Reilly -- Lee Reilly mailto:lee.reilly@ntlworld.com http://www.footkick.co.uk/lee

Searching Problem at Zope.org
by Chris Gray 02 Dec '00

02 Dec '00

Search results at Zope.org seem to turn up a number of items with the wrong URL. For instance, a search on ZCatalog returns the How-to on building a searchable job board (http://www.zope.org/Members/mukhsein/job_board_howto) but the link in the search results page is to http://www.zope.org/. A number of results are just linked back to the home page like this. Chris

You are posting to a community of users here. Bashing the product we use because you are having problems is not going to get you help any faster. As well as posting such vague commens such as "The tutorial doesn't work" How exactly is it not working? When have you ever received an answer to a technical question without providing specifics? If this is a known issue with the tutorial, chances are someone else has found this out on this list and someone posted an answer or a fix already. Try searching this list before you post.

Making lots of external data searchable?

You could probably use ZCatalog in conjunction with LocalFS to accomplish this; I think LocalFS was recently revved to allow cataloguing. Note that the actual mass-indexing process is going to be *painful*, as ZCatalog is intended to ease incremental indexing. I think I would write a script which walked the hierarchy, calling a method to index one (or a few) messages at a time. This script might also need to pack the database at intervals; the catalog is a bit space inefficient across mutliple index/reindex operations.
