review product proposal

Hi, >>>>"J. Atwood" (I was unable to get his email from the mailing list search >>>> >interface) wrote some days ago: >>>> 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? >>>> [K.A.] I just need this for a site I am working on, based on ZDP-Tools. Document rating is one of the thing lacking. ZDP-Tools is ZClass-based, so if you like ZClasses, you might be interested to collaborate on it and leverage this solution for your applications. Actually, there is a ZDP-Tools development effort at Sourceforge (since this week) and you might be interested to join our discussions. Maik Roeder or I is going to do a formal announcement later.

Wiki apps other than ZWiki 0.6.1
by Geoff Gardiner 21 Jul '00

21 Jul '00

I've been happily adding ManagedMode functionality to ZWiki 0.6.1 but wonder what other Wiki-on/in-Zope technologies there are that I should consider working with. I'm looking for cataloging, graphics upload, differencing, rename and delete and don't really want to have to work on them myself if these have been done or are soon to be done. Searching on 'Wiki' appears to be useless, since the word crops up in so many contexts, hence my appeal for information. Thank you, Geoff Gardiner

RE: [ Zope] ZCatalog & dynamic sites

Write a brains class that you would call to catalog and uncatalog insert/update/delete ZSQLmethods: For example: class MyObject: """ Some arbitrary object - MyObjectID - the id of your object MyCatalog - the catalog you want to use to index the sql MyText1 - metadata column in your catalog MyText2 - an additional metadata column in your catalog """ def FullText(self): "an index in your catalog" return "%s %s" % (self.MyText1, self.MyText2) def catalogObject(self): "Catalog me" self.MyCatalog.catalog_object(self, self.MyObjectID) def uncatalogObject(self): "Uncatalog me" self.MyCatalog.uncatalog_object(self.MyObjectID) Hope this helps, Corey

Zope with Apache
by James W. Howe 21 Jul '00

21 Jul '00

We are running Zope behind an Apache server. We've got things configured so that it mostly works. However, we noticed that the "breadcrumbs" list at the top of a workspace screen doesn't work correctly. For example, if I'm looking at the object /Foo/Bar/Baz, the list of items in the breadcrumbs might look like this: DTMLDocument at /Foo / Bar / Baz The links to Foo and Bar do not correctly take into account the extra item needed to tell Apache that the link goes to the Zope site. For example, the link to Foo needs to say something like http://foo.bar.com/Zope/Foo/manage_workspace instead of http://foo.bar.com/Foo/manage_workspace The tabs for the management screens work fine, however. Has anyone else encountered this and is this a bug in Zope, or simply a configuration issue that I need to resolve. If its a configuration issue, what would I need to change. Thanks. James W.

If you haven't added your problems to the Collector on Zope.org, it would be very good to do so... it doesn't seem that anybody from the community is coming up with a fix and a lot of folks from DC out at the O'Reilly open source convention... putting this in the Collector ensures that it'll get addressed. > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Rusch [mailto:drusch@globalcrossing.com] > Sent: Friday, July 21, 2000 9:59 AM > To: Andy Gates > Cc: zope(a)zope.org; andy.gates(a)bristol.ac.uk; ian.sealy(a)bristol.ac.uk; > jan.grant(a)bristol.ac.uk; paul.browning(a)bristol.ac.uk > Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope-killer: zSQL method that crashes Zope > > > If it matters to anyone, Andy isn't the only one with Zope > killing ZSQL > Methods .... > I just spent way too much time trying to figure out why our > stage enviroment > was crashing. > Turns out to be a ZSQL method which fails.

Zope-killer: zSQL method that crashes Zope
by Andy Gates 21 Jul '00

21 Jul '00

Here's a thing. Those problems I was having with some sort of Zope-killing page have been tracked down to a particular zSQL method. The zSQL method is duff, in that is should fail - the perils of late-night coding on decaf, I fear - but it should fail neatly with a Zope error, not crash out the Python interpreter and force some poor schmuck to restart the limping Zope process. I don't know whether this is a peculiarity to my setup (NT4SP6, IIS4, Zope2, Access97 database) or a general problem; perhaps some of the developer-hatted Zopistas could take a look? The poison SQL is this: select (<dtml-var field>, field2) from tablename where (field1= <dtml-sqlvar parameter1 type=string> and <dtml-var field> <> '') Where two parameters are passed to the method, namely "field" and "parameter1". parameter1 is fed in as a dtml-sqlvar and searches against the table's field1 column. field is passed in as a dtml-var and is used to define which of the table's other fields is retruned. field2 is always returned. What makes the SQL duff is the parentheses around the fields in the first part of the SELECT. They're not required and if you remove them to produce the zSQL below, it works fine. select <dtml-var field>, field2 from tablename where (field1= <dtml-sqlvar parameter1 type=string> and <dtml-var field> <> ' So why does it kill Python? I'm only vaguely concerned now that I've found the fault, because of course the SQL is canned and no developer could get their hands on it - but this experience redoubles my acceptance of the notion of canned SQL!

Dimitris, Yes, ZCatalog cannot index methods which require call arguments. Pages generated from SQL data either use "brains" of SQL methods or squery string arguments of a DTML method, and therefore need to be passed arguments and cannot be cataloged. -----Original Message----- From: dandraka(a)arcas.nuclear.mech.ntua.gr [mailto:dandraka@arcas.nuclear.mech.ntua.gr] Sent: Friday, July 21, 2000 2:44 AM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] ZCatalog & dynamic sites Hi all, I have a Zope site that uses MySQL to dynamically create some pages. What I want is the ability to search throughout the site, INCLUDING the pages that are database-driven. It seems to me that ZCatalog only finds items that exist *in zope*. Is it something ZCatalog can't do or am I missing anything obvious ? -- Dimitris http://atlas.central.ntua.gr:8000/~mc94068

zzLocale 0-0-3a released on Zope Japan
by Yves-Eric Martin 21 Jul '00

21 Jul '00

Hi Zopistas, This is the second alpha release of zzLocale, a Zope locale support Product. zzLocale provides a framework for Zope interface internationalization (Zope and Products management screens). The localization is done on a per request basis, which allows developers from different countries to work on the same Zope while each of them having an interface in his native language. With zzLocale, Product developers can easily provide localized interfaces for their Products. All that is needed is to put the localized interface DTML templates in a "locales/[lang]" subdirectory of the Product, and zzLocale does the rest. This version of zzLocale is pretty useable, and usually falls back nicely when something goes wrong. However, it is still alpha, and we would not recommend using it on a production server. This release includes a complete (I mean, as complete as current zzLocale features permit) French interface, and a partial Japanese one. Tranlators are welcome to provide other languages. Please send us your translated templates so that we can include them in the next release. For more information and download: http://www.zope.ne.jp/users/yemartin/zzLocale Regards, -- Yves-Eric Martin Digital Garage Inc. yemartin(a)garage.co.jp
