zopEDIT problem
by Daniel.Weber＠SEMATECH.Org 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

I downloaded zopeEDIT and tried it out, but the performance is terrible - it takes over a minute to download directory contents. When I connect, I see the error: PROBLEM(100) ZServer unhandled connect event After a minute or two, the directory listing shows up. Clicking to edit a file acts very quickly, with the following messages: INFO(0) ZServer incoming connection from 127.0.0.1:2313 INFO(0) ZServer Successful login [The above the first time on a directory only...] [followed by] PROBLEM(100) ZServer unhandled connect event Any ideas? This is with zopeEDIT 0.0.5 and zope 2.1.4

bobobase_mod_time of other objects
by dillera＠isc.upenn.edu 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hello- if I want to use bobobase_modification_time to tell me when another object has been updated, how would I format it? For instance, in a index_html DTML document I want to list the last update of other objects in the same folder (other DTML documents and methods). I can't get bobobase to reference _other_ objects. Is this possible? -andy

I know that if you are using SiteAccess and don't use the most recent release it will break with 2.1.6 in a manner much like you describe...

Building feedback forms
by Eron Lloyd 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hello all. I'm just starting my first Zope site, and I'd like to create a feedback form for the site. I have very little "useful" experience with DTML, especially for logic. Once I create the form, how do I write a DTML script to process the input (like linking entries to variables, testing valid answers, raising errors, etc.) ANY help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated, and all the useful stuff I learn I'd like to make a how-to from. Real world solutions like this in Zope are few as far as documentation go.... thanks in advance, Eron

Welcome Aboard Shane Hathaway!!
by Rob Page 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hello everybody! Please join me in welcoming Shane Hathaway to the Digital Creations team!! >From Shane's man page: """ I come from a small but growing town called Magna, Utah. I always considered it an underrated city in the Salt Lake Valley. I enjoyed my friends and neighbors there and some of them keep in touch even now. I have been programming since I was eight years old. I enjoyed the Commodore 64 so much that television I still use is actually a Commodore monitor. I had to learn to program early because my parents refused to buy any software--if I wanted software, they said, I'd have to write it myself. So I did! I enjoy singing. I have sung in many choirs over the years including the Cyprus High madrigals. I have sung enough solos for various functions that it's now easier for me to sing a solo than to give a speech in public. If you ever want to butter me up for something, give me a genuine Brazilian feijoada. Include every part of the pig but avoid the hairy stuff. Having spent two years there, I hold Brazil close to my heart. Not long ago I wrote Web Academics (http://www.webacademics.com) software for delivering courses over the web. It was designed to handle specific needs requested by educators as well as the needs I was aware of as a student. I am working on porting the education-related components of Web Academics to Zope. Zope and Digital Creations are very interesting to me because the product is built on solid foundations and the company is built on a solid philosophy. I am excited to begin working with the team.

Additionally, I would suggest removing the "Acquire Permissions Settings" from the "View" permission, and making the "View" permission only available to managers. This is easy to do, assuming you called the DTMLMethod above "debug_request" and created it in your Zope Site Root, then you could: 1. Navigate to http://mysite.com:8080/debug_request/manage_access 2. Scroll to the bottom of that long page. 3. Uncheck "Acquire Permissions Settings" next to the "View" Permission/ 4. The "Manager" box should already be check, verify this. 5. Click the "Change" button near the bottom of the permission list. Forgive me if I over-explain. Drew

Mysterious Netscape Upload failure
by Tres Seaver 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

After banging my head on it for a couple of days, I just resolved a really ugly problem for any Zopista who uses Netscape: any form which contains a file upload button was timing out, failing to send data to Zope (e.g., I couldn't create DTMLMethods!). The underlying cause of this was Netscape's poor tempfile hygeine: their file upload control handler was creating tempfiles, which it then never bothered to clean up. Eventually, it exhausted the tempfile namespace, at which point it looped pointlessly trying to create a tempfile with an unused name. I tried several reinstalls, tweaked preferences, all to no avail. The solution was to scrub the temp dir of all the ns*.tmp files -- everything is hunky-dory, now. Looking-for-the-voodoo-doll'ly, Tres. -- ========================================================= Tres Seaver tseaver(a)digicool.com tseaver(a)palladion.com

How do I test a version without saving changes?
by Jason Wong 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hope this is not too stupid a question: How do I test a version without saving changes? When I use the view option from within the management interface I only get to see the 'live' (ie public) version and not the version that I'm working on. thanks - Jason Wong Digital View Ltd 2201 Nanyang Plaza 57 Hung To Road Kwun Tong HONG KONG Tel: +852-2861-3615 Fax: +852-2520-2987 www.digitalview.com

Replying only to the last sentence: Add a DTMLMethod in the root of your Zope (call it maybe "debug_request"), with the following body: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var REQUEST> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> This works fine on 2.1.4+ -- they only suppress the "direct traversal" of REQUEST.
