Zope workflow for change management
by Brant Winter 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hi all - this is my first post to this list, and I am not quite sure if I am in the right spot ! I am looking at building up a change management / release management tool that woudl be hosted online in some form, that has its workflow built around solid ITIL foundations. I have seen Plone in th epast, and have installed it and played around, but I am wondering if Zope / Plone is the tool for this job ? I am basically drawn to Zope because of its ability to create workflows, but I am not sure if this is exatly the right tool. Basically I want to be able to create a basic change management workflow, but have different models depending on what type of change is occuring, ie software release as opposed to putting a new server in a live production rack. Each of these 'changes' would require a different workflow model. Is Zope / Plone for me ?

Zope and Image display
by tyson 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hi- I have a dtml form that loads a binary image from a python script. This works fine with no problems, but I want to return the image and also some other data as well. The only thing is when I return the information in the form of a list, my image won't load. I think that the list automatically changes the binary image into a string or something. Does anybody know about this or some work around by any chance? Here is my python script "py_get_image()": *#calling an external method to get binary image ganttImageData = context.loadGanttWSping() #returing a list starting with the image, and then a string return (ganttImageData[0], ganttImageData[1])* Here is the dtml code that works if I don't return it as a list: *<dtml-var standard_html_header> <img src="py_get_image"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> * Here is the dtml code that doesn't work: *<dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-in py_get_image> <dtml-if sequence-start> <img src="_['sequence-item']"> <dtml-else> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> <dtml-var standard_html_footer>* Also, this doesn't work either: *<dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var "py_get_image[0]"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> * Any help would be much appreciated!

by Allen Huang 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hi... This is probably not much about zope, but I want to do make a web page that does mouse drag query that query the zodb for information. For example... I have a picture and I want my mouse to be able to point a single point or drag a selection box and what ever is selected will make a new web page and with table about its information. Would anyone give me some pointers about how I could accomplish this? what docs or books I should read? --------------------------------- Yahoo! Shopping Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at Yahoo!

Recursive Display Of All Folder Items
by Francisco Chamorro 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hi everyone, I am trying to get a dump of all the content currently in our zope server. Using DTML I was able to get the top level folders to display their content but I am unable to recursively display the contents of the sub-folders. This is the code I am using for my top level folders, where "TV" is the name of the folder I want to display. <dtml-in "TV.objectValues()"><dtml-var id> </dtml-in> My second attempt at displaying sub-folder content was the following: <dtml-in "TV.objectItems()"> id: <dtml-var id>, type: <dtml-var meta_type> <dtml-if "meta_type=='Folder'"> <dtml-in expr="objectValues(<dtml-var id>)"> id: <dtml-var id>, type: <dtml-var meta_type> </dtml-in> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> But that also fails. I searched the documentation and found a post about recursively calling the same function but that did not work as I get a "excessive recursion" error. Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. -Francisco

Issues with pyperl: perl2.so not found
by Cameron Beattie 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

I am attempting to install pyperl and am having an issue where it can't find perl2.so. I think this is one of those ones where it's looking under the stairs for something which is actually in the laundry under a pile of dirty clothes. cd /tmp/pyperl* cd Python-Object; perl Makefile.PL; make install cd .. python setup.py install python test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "apply.py", line 1, in ? import perl ImportError: perl2.so not found echo $PATH /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin find -name perl2.so ./usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/perl2.so whereis python python: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.3 /usr/include/python2.4 /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz whereis perl perl: /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/man/man1/perl.1.gz python -V Python 2.4.1 perl -v This is perl, v5.8.6 built for i386-linux-thread-multi Obviously I've done something wrong and any clues to point me or the system in the right direction would be appreciated.

I'm running zope 2.8.3, python 2.3.5 and CPS SVN trunk. I update CPS and get this traceback: Traceback (innermost last): * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 113, in publish * Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 40, in call_object * Module Products.ExternalMethod.ExternalMethod, line 229, in __call__ __traceback_info__: ((<CPSDefaultSite at /dedie>, None, 0, 'portlets'), {}, (None, 0, 'portlets')) AttributeError: _v_func_code So that I could not update my CPS. I have no more messages. What could I do? I must update that CPS site... -- A powerfull GroupWare, CMS, CRM, ECM: CPS (Open Source & GPL). Opengroupware, SPIP, Plone, PhpBB, JetSpeed... are good: CPS is better. http://www.cps-project.org for downloads & documentation. Free hosting of CPS groupware: http://www.objectis.org.

But since you are the expert on LDAPUserFolder I think I should take that back. What you describe, is what I want to do .. but I thought it would be necessary to store the users in zope to be able to form groups in zope... Perhaps I would have figured it out myself if I was able to get LDAPUserFolder to work but I think I'm missing something... (well actually I'm missing a lot... I don't know much about LDAP so "start coding" is probably not a good idea...) Here is my situation at this moment: I have LDAPUserFolder working in a sense that I can search for users (and find the ldap entries) when I'm in the LDAPUserFolder - Users tab. So far so good. But when I limit access to a folder (in the Security tab on zope) to for example authenticated users and I try to logon to that folder, after authenticating (using the correct LDAP username and password) I get an error that doesn't make sense to me. Googling does not bring a solution. The error is: "TypeError len() of unsized object". (Using wrong (LDAP) credentials get's me a "You are not authorized to access this resource. Username and password are not correct." message.) On the same folder this problem does not occur when I use a native zope user to logon. I'm using on Windows XP Zope 2.7.2-0, python 2.3.5, win32 LDAPUserFolder 2.6 OpenLDAP 2.3.11 And I allso tested on Windows XP with Plone 2.1.1 (is with Zope 2.7.8-final, python 2.3.5, win32) LDAPUserFolder 2.6 OpenLDAP 2.3.11 Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Ria

attribute used to index PDFs?
by Garth B. 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

TextIndexNG 3.1.1 Zope 2.8.0 Python 2.3.5 What attribute should be specified when indexing PDFs? I've been using "data". Word docs are indexed properly, but the PDFs aren't. The PDFs are still found with the rest of the files, but the indexed content is not what I expected. To try narrow things down, I set up a seperate test Catalog with only two PDFs. The number of distinct values for indexing these PDFs is around 6600 (which seems a little high for two pdfs with a combined total of 3 pages). In the Catalog tab of my test ZCatalog, the PDFs are listed as type "Unknown". The content type of these PDFs are set to "application/pdf'". (In my other ZCatalog, the PDFs and Word docs are listed as type "File") This is an excerpt from the vocabulary for "f" in my test Catalog's index: ------------------------- f f+æq f0 f2ök f5ô f6 f7ëfü fa false fb8aad1ed82a2cc33e9feb68a3f323 fbt fc fd fdo fe fea feâà ff fg fgiëü fh fib filter filters firstchar fió fl flags flatedecode fm fmx fnaèh font fontbbox fontdescriptor fontfamily fontfile2 fontname fontstretch fontweight footlight format ------------------------- It looks as though the converter isn't doing its job, or the index isn't recognizing the files as PDFs I have manually run pdftotext at the command line with each of the PDFs to see if pdftotext is having trouble and it appears to output the textual content properly. The TextIndexNG Converters tab does recognize it. Do I have a misconfiguration somewhere? Thanks!

Dear zopist I am having problems in setting up Simple User Folder. Error Message: Error Type: UnconfiguredException Error Value: Addition of users has not been configured I have googled around for an answer. However, there is very little info on it. My Configuration: Zope2.8.4 / Windows XP Pro / Postgresql I have copied all (addUser.pys, addUser.sql, editUser.pys editUser.sql, deleteUser.pys deleteUser.sql, getUserIds.pys, getUserIds.sql, getUserDetails.pys, getUserDetails.sql) into the /TEST/acl_users/Contents page as advised in README. Do anyone have similar experiences? Thank you. --------------------------------- Yahoo! Shopping Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at Yahoo! Shopping
