Search on ZCatalog or ZSQL in MySQL

Hi, I have a to take a decision to use or not to use the ZCatalog that's because i'm some kind newbie to Zope. Well the history is the following: I have to make a system to store news, so i have to migrate a old system using perl cgi's and perform a search on text files to use Zope as the search engine however i don't know if i have to use a SQL database like MySQL or use the ZCatalog, i need full text search, and ZCatalog fits on the true decision however the current database news is about 350M and i would like to extend it to store images and file, so is possible that at the final year if everyting comes ok it outperforms the 1GB data I read that CodeCatalog.com use MySQL to make their full text search engine, so i think that i can do the same with MySQL using a unique number for each registry and let ZCatalog do a Vocabulary based on the ZClass that get such data? and know how to access the database when someone request a word in the vocabulary based on this unique id? I have a made a prototype in Zope at http://repnet.engendro.com using ZCatalog and the admin console is at http://repnet.engendro.com/admin_html i got based on the ZClass Tutorial from behieve and get it working. Well, i have to make a decision so my last resource is to use a coin ;) Thank you very much (sorry for my poor english :DDD) -- Nestor A.

> Hello, > > A newbie question. Could you pls propvide an example of mentioned > in readme.txt "preview" and "icon-gif" methods to view thumbnails and > images? > > Best regards, > Alexander N. Chelnokov Hi! Create an ExtImage object (e.g. in the folder path/to/your) and upload an image (e.g. image.jpg). You can now call the image with: http://your.server:8080/path/to/your/image.jpg or http://your.server:8080/path/to/your/image.jpg/index_html the preview is accessed via http://your.server:8080/path/to/your/image.jpg/preview and the icon via http://your.server:8080/path/to/your/image.jpg/icon_gif hope that helps, MacGregor!

Objet : [Zope] How to test if an object exist
by Francois-Regis CHALAOUX 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

Hi, Thanks for the details on hasattr function. I learned a lot ;) In the meantime, I found an other solution. Have a look. Bye, FR. Here I create folders in the folder "self.folder1". Each new folder has a number at its end (folder11, folder12, etc ...). def testFolder(self): self=self.this() sub1=self.folder1 l = ['1','2','3','4'] for i in l: sub2= "self.folder1" + ".folder1" + i folder = "folder1" + i try: if eval(sub2): pass except AttributeError: sub1.manage_addFolder(folder) return 'ok'

Product release: ExtFile/ExtImage 0.91
by Heine, Gregor 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

Version 0.91 of the ExtFile/ExtImage Software Product has just been released. The ExtFile and ExtImage Products store large files in an external file-repository and are able to display icons for different MIME-Types. The ExtImage Product additionally creates preview-thumbnails from images and displays them. ExtFile and ExtImage basically work like the Zope File and Image products but the (binary) file is not stored inside the ZODB, but in an external file-repository. Only meta data (like title and description) are stored in the ZODB. This prevents the Database swelling up quickly, when many large files are uploaded and thus increasing database performance. Version 0.91 fixes an important security issue, that allowed read access to any file in the local filesystem (readeable for the UID of the zope process). The Product is avaliable at http://www.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/ExtFile/ MacGregor!

NTUserFolder Object. Where is it?
by Christian Adams 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

I have, apparently, sucessfully installed NTUserFolder into my Zope installation. Now I need to add some NTUserFolder objects to some working directories. My rather silly problem is this: Where do I have to look for the NTUserFolder object? It's not in my usual Objects drop down menu so what have I forgotten to do? Zope 2.2.0 over NT4 NTUserFolder 1.3 Chris. > Chris Adams > Revolution - the new commerce agency > -- > Direct: +44 20 7549 5837 > Facsimile: +44 20 7549 5801 > http://www.revolutionltd.com > >

Re: Can't compare apples to apples. (document_id != id_of_my_document)

Am I missing > something? I've tried _.str(document_id) and even > _.string.strip(_.str(document_id)). The tag <dtml-var document_id> gets a value for document_id, and looks to see if it is callable. If so, it calls it and returns the result of calling it. If not, it just returns it. This is a feature of <dtml-var name="whatever">, which is another way of writing <dtml-var whatever>. However, when you use an expression, such as you are doing in the dtml-if tag, you are writing in Python, and you need to call an object if it ought to be called. An expression is something like <dtml-var "expression"> or <dtml-var expr="expression>, which are equivalent. The same goes for <dtml-if "expression">. In your case, you might find that this works: <dtml-if "document_id() == 'apples'"> Or perhaps this: <dtml-if "document_id(_.None, _) == 'apples'"> The reason is that ids ought always to be simple string objects, but some aren't. There are lots of legacy programs that rely on some ids being methods, so the odd cases won't be changed for a while yet. The general answer is to use a special function that calls the value if it is callable. You have a choice here. These are equivalent. <dtml-if "_['document_id'] == 'apples'"> <dtml-if "_.getitem('document_id', 1) == 'apples'"> -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
