Anyone built a classifieds or review product?
by J. Atwood 22 Jul '00

22 Jul '00

On my list of products that I would like to build / help build ZCLassifieds: A product that allows users to post classifieds for sale with categories, pictures, start and end dates, email contacts, etc. Could be anonymous or require a log in that plays upon the strengths of Zope. ZReview: A generic review product that allows people to post reviews of "things" and have other people comment on the review. A lot of what is in Zope Treasures but maybe with pictures etc. Has anyone starting building these, need these, or would be interested in helping build these? J

Re: [Zope] How to require an @ symbol in email form field??
by ed colmar 22 Jul '00

Couldn't you do something similar to Squishdot's "validArticle" dtml method? In addition to verification that the fields are filled in, you could pass the email variable off to a python regular expression that checks for x(a)x.x syntax. -ed- At 07:21 PM 7/21/00 -0400, you wrote: >On Tue, 18 Jul 2000, Duncan Booth wrote: >> Use javascript to check that all required fields are present before >> the form is actually submitted.

Russian Python and Zope User Group
by Oleg Broytmann 22 Jul '00

22 Jul '00

Hello! Russian-speaking Python and Zope User Group is happy to announce its site http://zope.net.ru/ Our biggest achivement is that we are alive and doing well! We are the small but active group of Python and Zope users from all over Russia, CIS and ex-USSR. Our site has three main sections: About, Python and Zope, plus the first page and imported news. The first section, About, presents our group and give details of our mail-list. This is small section, and we plan to automatically update the number of maillist subscribers. Python section is even smaller now. We plan to put documentation there, including russian translations. The biggest section of the site is Zope. We already have good introductory materials, FAQ, news. We plan to add documentation and special demos. The very special part of the site is imported news. We import news from "friendly" sites such as AppWatch, FreshMeat, Linux Weekly News etc. The whole site is a big demo by itself. Visitors can view DTML code of every page and subobjects. Few people asked to download exported version and I provided them (after removing passwords of editors). HTML version of the announce in Russian is at http://zope.net.ru/announce.html Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/ phd2(a)mail.com Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

worldpilot and communigate pro
by Graham Chiu 22 Jul '00

22 Jul '00

I came across communigate pro which is a multiplatform IMAP server ( www.stalker.com ). I've set it up under Win32, and tried to connect to it using a new installation of worldpilot. The IMAP port is at 143. However, it doesn't recognise my IMAP userid and password. Does anyone know if this combination ( NT, Communigate, worldpilot) works? The worldpilot mailing archives do not seem to be accessible. -- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.co.nz/index.php Powered by Interbase and Zope

Updating a Product...
by Andre van der Vlies 22 Jul '00

22 Jul '00

Hi, I am editting a product (changing html tags in caps, altering '<!--#var...' syntax in '<dtml-var...' etc. etc.). I do this for better understanding. To activated an adapted product, I delete the product and restart Zope... There must be another (better) way. How?? -- Andre van der Vlies <A.G.van.der.Vlies(a)ict.hva.nl> System Administrator Hogeschool van Amsterdam Stadhouderskade 55, Amsterdam tel : (+31) 20 5702 670 fax : (+31) 20 5702 510 xoip: (+31) 20 8771 304 http://www.ict.hva.nl/~andre Key fingerprint = 99 DC D6 01 96 C2 48 80 DC 9C D5 D2 34 F6 A6 5D -- Contrary to popular opinion, Unix is user friendly.

packing on ZSPs (was Re: [Zope] zope.org down)

This is a general problem for zope service providers and their users; I wonder how we can resolve it ? Related, though specific to Codeit users: I need to pack to avoid the above, but fear the data-corrupting packing bugs which were fixed in more recent versions of zope. Codeit, perhaps time for an upgrade ? At least to 2.1.6 ? Best regards -Simon

Encoding URL Vars
by Kapil Thangavelu 22 Jul '00

22 Jul '00

i recently had a problem with encoding url vars in a dtml-call such as <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(URL1+'?var_name='+var_name)"> i got a couple suggestions from the list but decided that i'd go ahead and write a utility function in a python method based on urllib. here are two python methods. one to encode a dictionary and one to automatically encode all the form variables in the request. you still need to add a '?' to the url before a call to the method to signify a GET. Python Method ##1 name: url_encode_vars parameters: vars # a dictionary of variables to be encoded # Code straight from urllib minor # changes to get around assignment to sub_scripts, # access to string module, and namepace issues global always_safe, quote, quote_plus always_safe = _.string.letters + _.string.digits + '_,.-' def quote(s, safe = '/'): global always_safe safe = always_safe + safe res = [] for c in s: if c not in safe: res.append('%%%02x'%ord(c)) else: res.append(c) return _.string.joinfields(res, '') def quote_plus(s, safe='/'): global quote if ' ' in s: res = [] # replaec ' ' with '+' l = _.string.split(s, ' ') for i in l: res.append(quote(i, safe)) return _.string.join(res, '+') else: return quote(s, safe) def urlencode(dict): global quote_plus l = [] for k, v in dict.items(): k = quote_plus(str(k)) v = quote_plus(str(v)) l.append(k + '=' + v) return _.string.join(l, '&') return urlencode(vars) #### example call to above <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(URL1+'?'+url_encode_vars({vars={'squishy':1, 'bad_input':'&user=root'}) )"> this isn't always optimal since you might not know all the variables and you just want to pass along all of the form variables. hence PythonMethod #2 name: url_encode_form_vars parameters: namepace # the namepace='_' try: vars=namespace['REQUEST'].form method = namespace.getitem('url_encode_vars', 0) return method(vars) except: pass ##### example call to above <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(URL1+'?'+url_encode_form_vars(_))"> Cheers Kapil
