SiteAccess and zope2.2
by Terry Kerr 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

Hi, I am trying to upgrade from zope2.1.6 to zope2.2 and my SiteAccess no longer seems to work. I have the new version of SiteAccess, and product is not broken, it just doesn't redirect any hostnames of any of my sites. All domains point to the root of zope instead of their respective folders. Do I have to change anything else? terry -- Terry Kerr (terry(a)adroit.net) Adroit Internet Solutions Pty Ltd (www.adroit.net) Phone: +613 9563 4461 Fax: +613 9563 3856 Mobile: +61 414 938 124 ICQ: 79303381

New Wikis on zope.org
by Bill Anderson 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

I have added a couple of new wikis to my section on zope.org at http://www.zope.org/Members/Bill The first one deals with the Membership product. I hope to expose some of my reasons and methodology in the development of the product. You can get to it by going to my page at http://www.zope.org/Members/Bill/MembershipProductWiki . I do ask that general questions go to the mailing list (zope-dev, thank you), and not to the discussion page. The second one I hope will be of use to some zopistas, new and old. it is an open documentation and logging of the development of a Zope Powered Site. the site it references, is already up and public, but it is far from complete. It is currently in the 'it works, let us get it out there' phase. it can be reached at http://www.zope.org/Members/Bill/ThroughTheLookingGlass Both sites have a seperate page for members to edit, as I'd like to keep the main pages clear and concise. I just put these up, with some basic pages added, so bear with me the next few days. I'm readying another Membership release :) Yours in Zope, Bill -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.

Instead it merged > address stuff from a result row. I expect that your table contains a column with the same name as the DTML-variable used to build the navigation (URL, I think). "dtml-in" brings the column names of your rows in the namespace. they hide their other variables defined outside the "dtml-in". If you can, rename your database column. If you cannot, build your own DTML methods for testing by customizing the DTML methods generated by the Z Search Interface. Z SQL methods have the argument "src__" (in 2.2, there is something for tests too). It gives you the generated SQL, without executing it. Dieter

Packing with cron
by Jason Spisak 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

Zopists, I am attemtping to use cron to pack my ZODB. I am using lalo's cron how-to and lynx. However when I visit http://myhost:8080/Control_Panel/Database/manage_pack nothing happens. Here is the command I am using in Zope 2.1.6: lynx -auth superuser:superuserpasswd -source http://myhost:8080/Control_Panel/Database/manage_pack Is there anything obviously skewed about this? Has anyone else tried it with success? Thanks in advance, Jason Spisak

How to prime a selection?
by Jean Jordaan 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

Hi all I'm making a document class for a warehouse of papers. It's based on ZCatalogAware and ObjectManager (to wrap mainly PDFs and DOCs), and has fields: title (string type) origin (string type) format No value for format_value. type No value for type_value. "format" and "type" are selections -- 1. where do I supply their initial values (filling in 'format_value' and 'type_value')? 2. is it possible to let a field offer presets and previously entered values, but to allow users to add new ones, which are remembered and offered to subsequent users? A RTFM-type answer to question 1. is perfectly OK, though a page reference would be sorely appreciated. -- jean

Upload applet in Java/JPython
by Alexander Limi 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

Hi, I tried posting this to the comp.lang.pyton group, but I never got any answer, so I was hoping that you friendly Zope folks could offer me some advice. The setting is this: My web site collects big files (typically 2-5 MB) that the users upload via HTTP POST (yeah, I know - FTP is nicer, but not when you have untrusted users). When a person submits his file, he has to wait 20-30 minutes for the upload to complete, without any visual feedback at all. This is clearly not desirable. What I imagine would be nice, is a small applet to handle the file and provide the user with a visual feedback on the progress of the upload. Just a simple progress bar. What I want to know is: Has this already been written by someone? Either in Java or JPython? If so, could you please provide me with a URL? If not, is this a big task? I am a Python newbie, and I haven't touched JPython at all. All help appreciated. Alexander.

Re: [Zope] Zope + Apache on FreeBSD 4.0 problems
by Peter Haight 03 Aug '00

> >Hi Peter, > > Hmm... I've never seen this problem, and I've been using >pcgi/FreeBSD since 2.2.8. I have however seen another problem: > >http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-December/016465.html > >that has never really been resolved. I'm going to try your >net.local magic to see if that has an effect. I tried the >FreeBSD lists at one time, and never got any response. Maybe >it's time to try them again.... I wasn't able to reproduce it on Zope. This is probably because I have since switched to using fast cgi which has fixed all my problems. I was able to reproduce it using your test script and just piping it to more. What's going on is that you are getting a broken pipe exception in self.stdout.write in HTTPResponse.write(), but that exception is getting masked somewhere which is why it seems mysterious as to what is happening. I have no idea why we get a broken pipe when piping that to more. I made a script: import sys file = open("fs.txt", "r") data = file.read(1024) while data: result = sys.stdout.write(data) data = file.read(1024) And piped that to more. Same problem. If I do 'cat fs.txt | more' it works fine. Upgrading my system from 4.0-RELEASE to 4.1-STABLE fixed this problem.

Problem accessing property value
by David Riggs 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

This is a problem I'm running into using Zope 2.1.6 and PTK 0.7.1 on an NT machine...I plan on upgrading both as soon as the 2.2.1 bug fix is released...I believe the problem is just a syntax one... I'm running into a snag trying to access the value of a property I've assigned to an instance of a ZClass...specifically, I've created a ZClass of meta-type Customize, and created an instance (also called Customize for simplicity) in each member's home folder. [for reference sake, PTK creates a folder in the path /ZopeRoot/PortalRoot/Members/UserName for each member] The instance has a long list of properties that I'd like to access and use as customization settings for each individual user. Calling the property like this... <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getHomeUrl()+'/Customize.some_property'"> Yields the following string literal (which isn't what I need) http://host:8080/Portal/Members/UserName/Customize.some_property And calling it like so... <dtml-var "_(AUTHENTICATED_USER.getHomeUrl()+'/Customize.some_property')"> Gives me this weird string (definitely not what I want) <DictInstance object at 134fdc0> Where the hex number varies between 11xxxxx - 13xxxxx each time I render it. I've tried calling the Customize method like this <dtml-var "Members.UserName.Customize.some_property"> And I get the value I need, but this way I'm hard coding the user's name into the path, where I want it to not be user specific. I've tried a few times with getAttribute and getProperty, but can't seem to get the syntax correct...If any Zope Masters could offer a hand, it'd be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, David Riggs
