Static X Dynamic
by Rogerio Atem de Carvalho 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

Hi, I have a site with 1,000 static HTML pages containing images and text (in portuguese and english). I need: 1) Enable full text search 2) Create a mechanism to automatically generate more pages and put everything together in Zope. 3)Work under Zope versions 2.1.6 and 2.2 I know some alternatives but I would like to have some advice about them: 1) Migrate everything to a DB like MySQL, using ZSQL methods to do search, insert etc... (I'm doing it now and it works, but don't know if it 's the best solution...) 2)Use Metapublisher and Zcatalog- In this case how can I represent one to many relationships (one document to many images)??? 3)Use Metapublisher and a RDBMS- same question above. Or: 4)Use ZCatalog alone - In this case, how can I do full text search? 5)Use BTreeFolder - same question above. 6)Use LocalFS - same question above. 7)Put everything under Yihaw! structure (it would be a nice solution in terms of interface...)- same question above. Is there another soluction not listed above, or a mix of solutions? What is the best solution in terms of speed and maintenance?

How-To: Dropbox date entry for html forms
by Darran Edmundson 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

In building my first Zope site and training content providers to use the management interface, I quickly encountered requests for an easier means of entering dates (as opposed to the default "1966/09/30" format). I've written up a quick How-to that contains a DTML utility method for incorporating droplist selectable dates in html forms. Before I make it (more) public, I'd appreciate some feedback. Any objections to the implementation? What do you think about placing short utility methods in How-To's rather than Products? http://www.zope.org/Members/darran/select_date Cheers, Darran.

Hi.. What's the best way to check if self.REQUEST.form.get('int_field') just contains numeric data in a external method? Thanks... -- --------------------------- Diego Rodrigo Neufert -webmaster --------------------------- (Magic Web Design) (email) (diego(a)magicwebdesign.com.br) (curitiba) (pr)

User roles in different folder (Copy roles?)
by Peter Bengtsson 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

I have given my friends a folder of their own on my Zope site. /root /friends /friend_ONE /friend_TWO /friend_THREE All my friends are Manager of their own folder. Now, me and my friends have folder called /images. And I want everybody with a friend folder of their own and me to have access to the /images folder. All they can do is upload images. /root /friends /friend_ONE /friend_TWO /friend_THREE /images How do I use the User permissions in each /friend folder to give them access to the /images folder? I don't have many friends so I can hand code it if I must. (prefer not to, if the marry and change name later on) [ Shame on my for I haven't read through the e-books I ordered from Beehive.de ] Peter Bengtsson - bloody good programmer

Re: [Zope] Zope + Apache on FreeBSD 4.0 problems

I did run into a problem myself it might be the same as yours. I kept getting: Temporarily Unavailable The resource you requested is temporarily unavailable - please try again later. (116) unable to connect, fd=4 The pcgi log would say: Sun Jul 16 20:04:25 2000 pcgi-wrapper: Error receiving stdout (116) unable to connect, fd=4 After much debugging I found that if you looked at the PCGIPublisher::handler method in pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py, it would do a conn.send(stdout) and if you looked at the return value you would find that it only would send 8192 bytes no matter how long the stdout string was. This is due to some sysctl settings: net.local.stream.recvspace and net.local.stream.sendspace. They are set to 8192. I adjusted mine to 65536 using the following two commands: sysctl -w net.local.stream.recvspace=65536 sysctl -w net.local.stream.sendspace=65536 Now it seems to be working well. I'm not sure whose bug this is. I think it is probably a problem with FreeBSD. I'll upgrade to 4.0-STABLE soon and see if is still a problem. If this is not the problem you are having, you really need to elaborate more on what you mean by 'maimed' output.

How do I count children?
by J. Atwood 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

So In ZUBB (my discussion product) I want to be able to show how many replies there have been to any one main topic. All replies are 'children' of the main post and when I state it with <dtml-tree branches=children> Stuff </dtml-tree> It works and knows that each message is a child of the message. When in go through a searchResult to list the message I want to show many replies there are to that message. Q: How do I count the 'children' of any one onject? Thanks, J
