Zope concepts
by Tom Smith 23 May '00

23 May '00

Hi all, This is a conceptual rather than technical question.... I intend to build an intranet with zope...though it's not as simple as that...I'd like 90% of the site to be password protected (giving access to members of my company)...do I use acl_users for this? I'd also like parts of the site to be accessible (and maybe manageable albeit minimally) by clients....Do I have to create a second user/access model for this or can I use the acl_users to do this for me too. I'm having problems a. Making the acl_user stuff work...I can either login as admin or not all. and b. Getting to grips with the concept of the user/privs/access model in acl_users So the question is this...do I/can I use acl_users to manage all my authentication requirements, only allowing certain clients to view certain areas of the site...allowing company members to edit and view all of the site etc..if so then I'll slog on experimenting with the acl_users stuff... thanks tom

As of 0.2.x it sometimes does, depending on whether you've turned on caching - but 0.3.0 will fix it entirely, I plan to remove the non-cached option, and do it a whole lot smarter. 0.2.9 will be out shortly (tonight, if I can stop this sodding PC from crashing every 10 minutes) and will be the last of the current architecture. 0.3.0 is moving to a more sane system - one that will stop my DBA from hurting me. :) Anthony, who's really not a fan of PC hardware. -- Anthony Baxter <anthony(a)interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

Zope Newbie Questions
by Chris Withers 23 May '00

23 May '00

Hi Daniel, Resources I'd recommend: The Zope Documentation Portal - http://zdp.zope.org The Zope Site - http://www.zope.org The Zope Mailing List - zope(a)zope.org (see http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope for details) I've copied your questions to the zope list in the hope that someone with time can help you out :-) Good luck, Chris PS: Short answers: - Try adding 'Image' objects for your graphic needs. - With the Free Zope Hosting option, I don't think there's any way you can do a bulk upload, but Itamar's loadsite.py utility may be able to help... - If you like DreamWeaver, I'd recommend our Professional Zope Hosting option, as DreamWeaver should work fine with this...

SQLSession vs FSSession for ultra-high scalability and speed.
by chas 23 May '00

23 May '00

Hi Folks, Sorry if this has been asked before, but can anybody advise on FSSession vs SQLSession for: a) Speed. b) Scalability. Planned architecture employs multiple Zope/Apache frontline servers: +-----+ | Z/A |---+ +-----+ | | +-----+ | | Z/A |---+ +----- DB1 +-----+ | | |------| +-----+ | | | Z/A |---+ +----- DB2 (optional) +-----+ | | | Etc, etc. Z/A = 'front line' webservers running Zope/Apache. Contains application/business logic. We are NOT using the ZODB for data storage. DB1 = Data storage. eg. Oracle/Postgres DB2 = potentially just for managing the sessions, if we use SQLSession. Would MySQL be best ? Just how scalable can it really get ? We need it to at least be able to scale to 12 million sessions per day (and substant- -ially more writes to DB1 per day), even if we will be starting out much more modestly than that. Realistically, should I be looking at something like ATG Dynamo instead ? Thank you very much, chas

by dillera＠isc.upenn.edu 23 May '00

I can't get a DTML Document to be bigger than about 105k. Is there a size limit to a DTML Document, and if so, how big? 105k isn't that large. -andy diller
