confera, zope 2.2, and attachments
by Cary O'Brien 31 May '00

With a confera discussion, I can't seem to add attachments. I can enter a file name into the file upload box, and there are no errors, but when I view the message there is no attachment. Am I doing something wrong? -- cary

IRC Chat redux
by ethan mindlace fremen 31 May '00

31 May '00

Zopistas, I'm just posting some clarifications and follow-up. The chat with Jim Fulton and Paul Everitt will happen at 13:00 EST/08:00 GMT, tomorrow, Wednesday the 31st. It will be on irc.openprojects.net channel #zope. It's the standard IRC port- 6667 . For those of you that are new to IRC, first you need an IRC client. * Windows: Almost all the windows IRC'ers I know use mirc. [1] * Linux: You should have XChat [2] or another IRC client installed. * Mac: ircle [3] is well rated, but I've never used it. More information is availiable at http://www.irchelp.org . If you still have problems connecting, feel free to email me. ~ethan .. [1] http://www.mirc.com/install.html .. [2] http://xchat.linuxpower.org/ .. [3] http://www.ircle.com/

security issues
by Ragnar Beer 31 May '00

31 May '00

Howdy everyone! I will soon have a Zope-site ready to go online. How can I make shure that I did everything (concerning Zope) to stop intruders? Where can I find information about protecting a Zope-site? Has anyone had security problems so far? --Ragnar

WorldPilot
by Chris Herrnberger 31 May '00

31 May '00

Installing a second instance of WPilot results in the infamouse -m error on setting permissions. This occurs regardless of the folder or user folder that WP is installed too. The original installation remains fully functional and well behaved. Running Zope 2.1.6 with wp 1.0.4 and PTK cvs. Any workarounds alternatively, what am I doing wrong. Best and thanks Chris

Re: [Fwd: Returned mail: Service unavailable]

>From: Daryl Tester <dt(a)picknowl.com.au> >... >./configure --prefix=/usr/foo --exec-prefix=/usr/foo >make >make test >make install >... >(or, as Aristotle said, "deprecated, my arse"). Tough! :) Best quote in years. Yes, I did not run "make install" in Python, culpa mia. I still haven't been able to install PyGreSQLDA, but it seems that the new problem is with the new PostGreSQL 7.0. Anyway, thanks to everyone that have helped. I have only one hour daily or so to play with installing PyGreSQLDA. When I finally succeed, I'll let people know what's going on. regards, Hung Jung ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

I just just downloaded a trial version of 'mIRC' software for Win32 from http://www.mirc.co.uk which seems to work ok. For the benefit of any other IRC newbies like me on Win32, hre are some trivial how-to notes <help> 1. Under 'options' menu select category=connect and then click 'Add' 2. Description = anynameyouwant, server = irc.openprojects.net, port=6667[default, works ok], group&password = blank 3.This will return you to 'options' menu select category=connect. Enter your name and email etc..Then select new server named anynameyouwant from the pop-up menu, and click 'Connect to IRC Server' button 4. A window with scrolling list named "mIRC Channels Folder" should appear.For the first time type "#zope" in the field titled "Enter name of channel to join".. #zope will be added to the list. 5. Now select #zope from the scrolling list and click the 'Join' button Voila..! You should now be in the zope chat window - other users will be listed on right hand margin <help> irseeya - Jason ________________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS.(Interactive Art and Technology).Design Director

RE: [Zope] Use of lambda expression in DTML

I take your point, but it's making an assumption that map, filter, and lambda are going to be used for business logic. In my case (see original topic) would you argue that what I'm trying to do is business logic or presentation? As for HTML-like stuff vs. business stuff wrt to functional expressions: Do you object to CSS, XSLT, and XPath? I think I can see why the ZoPerl discussion is so vociferous... ;¬] Cheers, Nick Drew HyperSpace Ltd,Birmingham Research Park, Edgbaston, UK, B15 2SQ (e) hyperspace(a)btinternet.com (t) +44 (0)121 414 7019

What are the best general books on Object Oriented design principles? principles?
by Chris Beaumont 31 May '00

31 May '00

The subject line says it.. What are the best general books on Object Oriented software and database design principles? I'm just starting out, and have no other programming experience to unlearn..(which I have heard is a GoodThing (tm) ) What would you suggest as a good place to start? Obviously one of my goals is that I'd like to be able to start to understand Zope better with this knowledge.... Basically what I want to say is. did any books just seem clearer and less jargon-ridden than the others..? Thanks.. Chris

Zope documentation
by Graham Chiu 31 May '00

31 May '00

I may be a bit naive, but it seems to me that one should be able to build a tool (object inspector) which when queried will produce all the methods of a queried object, the property sheets, the variables of the property sheets, the applicable methods, and report back the ancestry of the product. The same report could then be run on the ancestors. This could serve as a documentation tool. -- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.co.nz/index.php Powered by Interbase and Zope
