JSON for Ajax applications
by Max M 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

I don't know how many has seen this, but it's pretty cool. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. http://www.crockford.com/JSON/index.html It is used for Ajax applications to transfer data instead of xml. It uses repr() versions of standard python objects like dicts, lists, string, numbers etc. to transfer data. It is really simple to generate for Python programmers, so it is very simple to use in Zope too. -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science

I've got it working in many places. The error must be either a new zope bug or something else being wrong. Is your setup as simple as you've described in the email? What happens when you in that TAL do something like: <br tal:replace="python:str(options)" /> Do the other namespaces work in the page template? Eg. <br tal:replace="python:len(request.form.keys())" /> or <br tal:replace="python:context.absolute_url_path()" /> -- Peter Bengtsson, work www.fry-it.com home www.peterbe.com hobby www.issuetrackerproduct.com

base tag
by Niklas Saers 24 Sep '05

Hello, I've been asked to administer a Zope site, and I have a problem. On each page, a statement like <base href="http://mysite.dk/dir/" /> shows up. dir/ changes if I move to another directory. Yet nowhere in the code can I find such a statement. Is this a common thing for Zope to add or is there a function or property that usually sets this? Cheers Nik

schema won't update - persistant .pyc files??
by michael nt milne 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

I've been trying to edit basic text information in a product schema, the member.py of the Samplex tutorial but the text I enter simply won't update through to the form on the website. I've tried everything, including flushing the cache and refreshing the product, re-starting etc. Seems like Zope is holding the old information somewhere and won't let go of it. Does anyone know of any issues with .pyc files that won't replace etc and seem to be cached indefinitely? Totally infuriating. I've tried running in debug mode but I couldn't get any ZMI inferface that way. This is my set-up: Zope Version (Zope 2.8.0-final, python 2.3.5, linux2) Python Version 2.3.5 (#1, Jul 27 2005, 00:45:20) [GCC 3.3.2 20031022 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-1)] System Platform linux2 SOFTWARE_HOME /opt/Zope-2.8/lib/python ZOPE_HOME /opt/Zope-2.8 INSTANCE_HOME /home/zopeinstance CLIENT_HOME /home/zopeinstance/var Network Services ZServer.HTTPServer.zhttp_server (Port: 8080) Process Id 1401 (49156) Running For 29 min 33 sec

PrincipiaSearchSource and ExtFile
by Alison Taylder 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Dear members, On my installation of zope 2.7 I am trying to catalog content which is html text contained in Files and properties associated with ExtFiles. I am using TextIndexNG (v2.08). I can create the TextIndexNG index with the attributes eg Author, PrincipiaSearchSource, but when I then add an ExtFile I get the broken ExtFile icon returned (although the ExtFile is added successfully) and I am not able to catalog the ExtFile. Is anyone aware of an incompatability between TextIndexNG, PrincipiaSearchSource and extFile or give me any hints about why this might be happening ?

Problems getting server running in debug mode
by michael nt milne 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Has anyone had any problems running in debug mode? I took out the # in the zope.conf file next to - debug-mode on which would set it to be on. However my server wouldn't come back up so I had to turn it off.

RE: [Zope] Re: Zope iso-8859-1 to utf-8
by Pascal Peregrina 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

I see... And what python function would you use for conversion ? I made some tests and was surprised of the results... I switched ZMI to UTF-8 (management_page_charset) and edited some of my documents / properties and all went fine. The generated documents are still sent to browsers as iso-8859-1, and are not broken. So my question would be : which valid UTF-8 characters (for typical Western languages like English, French, Spanish, ...) would be invalid in iso-8859-1 ? Last thing, if ZMI is switched to UTF-8, then what is the difference between ustring/string, etc properties ? Thanks.

You must write a script that converts any property on any object in your site that is latin-1 to utf-8. So first find all objects you use. See what types they are. Find all text and string attributes on those opjects. Write a function that converts from latin to utf and run that on every object. The hard part will be finding all the attributes, but perhaps you can write a method that can help find those properties for you using introspection. -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

How modify *path* of a 'zope instance home' ??
by seberino＠spawar.navy.mil 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

I tried modifying paths to 'zope instance home' in bin/runzope, bin/runzope.bat and etc/zope.conf. I also tried just doing a symbolic link from old path to new location of 'zope instance home'. NOTHING WORKS!!!! I get errors about Zope/Plone not being able to load Archtypes product. **Is the old zope instance home _path_ burned into a binary somewhere that cannot be changed??** e.g. Does Data.fs depend on old path somehow?? HOW CHANGE PATH OF ZOPE INSTANCE HOME??? Chris
