XML Document: why not create with FTP, WebDAV or PUT?
by Peter Ring 05 May '00

05 May '00

The release doc for XML Document 1.0a6 states that "You cannot create new XML Document objects with FTP, WebDAV or PUT." Before I delve into this, I'd like to ask: Are there a reason this should be intrinsically impossible or difficult, or is it just on the TODO list? kind regards, Peter Ring

Downloading parts of image on demand
by Stephan Richter 05 May '00

05 May '00

Hello everyone, I have a big issue here, but don't know how to approach it (not necessarily a Zope issue): I want to display a thumbnail of an image. When the user selects a certain part of the image (using a Java applet?), it goes to the server and requests a larger copy of this piece. Basically, if I have a large image, I want to display it as thumbnail and zoom in and out of parts of the image, but the image should not be completely downloaded. It should only serve the desired part of the image. Did someone write this type of server piece in PIL before?

Local FS manage_addFolder woes
by Chris Withers 05 May '00

05 May '00

Hi, I'm trying to create a folder within a localFS object if one doesn't exist already. I'm trying: <dtml-if "not localFSobject.fileIds(folderNameVar)"> <dtml-call "localFSobject.manage_addFolder(folderNameVar)"> <dtml-else> Folder exists... </dtml-if> The problem is that this creates the folder in the folder containing the localFS object, not in the localFS object. Do I want a dtml-with? If so, which one? Does LocalFS support manage_addFolder or is the above happening because it doesn't and so aquisition is causing manage_addFolder to be executed on the folder object containing the localFS object? If aquisition is hapening, what should I use instead of manage_addFolder? Am I totally up the wrong tree? Any help is good help... Chris

worldpilot import/export problem
by Adam Gotheridge 05 May '00

05 May '00

I have a zope project(folder) which will not import into another zope. When I import the folder, I get Error Type: ImportError Error Value: No module named WorldPilot.WorldPilot How do I get rid of this? I can't find WorldPilot anywhere in the project folder, and it has been removed from the installation. Anyone have any ideas? This is a big problem for me. Originally the site was running v2.1.3 from a debian package. The deb package was upgraded to 2.1.6 and then all authentication was broken except for the superuser accessing the manage pagae. superuser could not even access index_html of the main site. I have tried to import both the original folder export ("jobs") and a newly exported jobs folder with WorldPilot removed into zope 2.16 built from source on the debian box, v2.13 and v2.16 clean installs on windows boxes, and get the same error. I ended up getting the site to live by using the Data files from the original 2.13 debian package and moving them into the newly compiled 2.16 version, but this is only a temporary fix. Anyone know how I can get rid of WorldPilot so that I can export the folder without it (i can't find it and neither can the find feature). Adam

RE: [Zope] Problem in constructing parameter for ZSQL Method

Try to url_encode the string. Does that help? Not sure how this would help. > 2. Can you send code snippets and the complete traceback? I get some 'raw' Zope code in my page (stuff like <dtml-let .....> etc.) which suggests that the <dtml-let> statement didn't parse correctly so showed up in the html. No traceback. > 3. Did you try to put the string into a variable first? (example: > <DTML_CALL "REQUEST.set('foo', 'Hello World!')"> OK I tried: <DTML_CALL "REQUEST.set('foo', '\'<a href="details?Controller=\' & Model & \'">\' & Model & \'</a>\' as ModelLink')"> it parses fine. Then I try to use foo like in: <dtml-let recordset="qry_General(column=foo)"> I get the dreaded NameError error: Error Type: NameError Error Value: foo I solved the problem (eventually) by assigning the string to a property. thanks - Jason Wong

Gadfly, SQLSession: EOFError
by Hung Jung Lu 04 May '00

04 May '00

Hi, This is the second time I post this error. I repeat here two instances of the error message: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Error Type: EOFError Error Value: end of stream during parse near :: "urOBv9CS7Mzi0g'"*"\012AND name = 'fi" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: EOFError Error Value: end of stream during parse near :: "f3pqQ'\012AND name"*" = 'person_id'" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This error comes from Gadfly. I am using Gadfly through SQLSession. So I suspect other Zope users have the same problem. Anyway, the message is here so other people can know they are not the only ones. :) (I've gone through Zope e-mail archive and there is zero message on EOFError.) I am stopping using SQLSession starting next week, so this problem will not affect me anymore. But it's good anyway to archive a message on this topic. The python file raising the exception is: lib/python/Products/ZGadflyDA/gadfly/kjParser.py regards, Hung Jung ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

zope on isp
by Gustin Kiffney 04 May '00

04 May '00

This isn't really an answer to your question, but if you don't mind (a) handing off this problem and (b) using a US web hosting provider, check out www.codeit.com. They know all about Zope and Apache and I'm really happy running our little site on their setup. I think zope.org runs on their server, too? Standard disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with codeit, except as a customer, but they slip me a C-note every time I mention their name (or do I have to pay them? i can't remember! (secondary disclaimer: I'm kidding)) Original message snip: I have Zope set up running under NT alongside IIS and AOLserver3. Works fine as I have complete control and admin rights. I would like to set up Zope on my ISP. I have access to the cgi-bin directory, can run python (and TCL). So how do you setup Zope? The ISP is using Redhat Linux 6.1 and an Apache web server. Tried using the source and compiling - no joy error about compiling rights. Tried using a precompiled version for Linux. The install seemed to work.
