RE: [Zope] Can't access management page.

I have tried this. I have restarted Zope. I have recreated the admin password with zpasswd.py. Nothing seems to help. Is there some security setting that may have been corrupted that I need to examine and fix??

Can't delete products
by Stephan Goeldi 08 Nov '00

I deleted some products in Control_Panel several times. Some are gone (ok), some stay and seem to be undeletable. I'm sure someone shows me the way to delete it from the command line (it's Zope 2.2.2 on RedHat Linux).

Re: [Zope] Python Methods Vote

Just view the poll again. Everything but "python method" has been getting trounced so far. How come "python function" isn't there, again ? Isn't that what they actually are ?

importing data
by James Sintz 08 Nov '00

08 Nov '00

I have created a simple zclass product for a web based newsletter. Each day's newsletter is input into a form and added into the ZODB as instances of this newsletter zclass. My question is... how do I import 2 years worth of newsletters from tab delimited files exported from another database? I searched the archives and how-to section and could not find the answer. Is this possible to do? Thanks!! Jamey

If you look at the results of this sample of Debian installations, in the section `web packages' (http://people.debian.org/~apenwarr//popcon/results.web.html) the top 20 are like this: Package Vote Old Recent Unknown apache-common 461 87 35 0 apache 457 36 20 0 wget 434 334 88 0 lynx 407 169 21 0 junkbuster 163 29 3 0 mozilla 143 145 89 0 squid 139 2 3 0 htdig 84 16 2 0 wwwoffle 66 1 1 0 weblint 60 266 25 0 analog 58 105 51 0 webalizer 50 48 9 0 zope 49 15 9 0 imp 40 1 1 0 apache-dev 38 126 29 0 php3 37 75 52 0 tidy 31 127 15 0 boa 29 1 6 0 konqueror 28 0 50 0 apache-perl 28 4 1 0 (About 924 individual computers submitted results this week. - Vote: Number of people that use this package regularly. - Old: Number of people who installed but have not used the package recently. - Recent: Upgraded the package too recently for stats to be valid. - Unknown: No files in the package were used in the statistics calculation.) For sure this is by no way a representative sample of all Debian installations. FWIW, if it was representative, it would suggest that Apache was installed on half of all Debian installation, and that Zope was installed on 5 % of all Debian installations. You could start and multiply that with an estimate of the number of Debian installations (no idea, something in between 5e4 and 5e6, I'd guess ;-) to end up with some 2000 up to 200000 installed Zope Debian packages. What exactly did Churchill have to say about statistics ? Gregor

Your thoughts about Zope-based database apps
by Alonso Rhenals 08 Nov '00

08 Nov '00

I'm considering implementing a web-based database application with MySQL as a back-end and a Zope-based front-end. I wonder if you could provide your thoughts on the following questions: 1. Is Zope a good tool to quicky build an efficient & effective user interface for a database application? 2. In particular, what would be the best way to implement the inserting and updating of records along with input data validation? (Retrieving data from a database to show on a web page using Zope is straightforward as you know.) 3. In several cases I'd like to implement a main form/subform, where the subform allows the user to enter several items related to only one record in the main form. Since every item might have many fields (say 20) I'd like to present just the most important fields on a table, and allow the user to view/enter/update all the fields for each item in a different web page. Those of you familiar with Microsoft Access know that in Access it is straightforward to implement this main form/subform interface. I wonder what would be the best way of implementing this using Zope? 4. Do you know of any existing Zope-based app similar to this?. Obviously, the back-end doesn't have to be MySQL. 5. Finally, if somebody is interested in further discussing this type of applications, I'll be glad to participate. Just e-mail me to rhenals(a)ieee.org Thanks in advance for your inputs.
