Re: [Zope] how-to/tutorial on dynamic content?
by Rik Hoekstra 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

I've walked through the beginning tutorials on managing zope. I was hoping there would be something similar to show a newbie such as myself how to use Zope's ODB to define some objects and create dynamic content pages based on them. [RH] Um, without plugging my own document, you may want to check out my 'Changing Contexts in Zope'; reading your post it may be what you want. It is not (meant as) a howto, but a bit more general. It should go into in the ZBook of ZDP (watch this list for announcements about ZDP rsn). In the meantime it is available from my member page: http://www.zope.org/Members/Hoekstra/ChangingContexts1 Rik

Its the old game: Only what is stated is defined. Some things are stated to be "implementation dependent". Everything else is undefined and might involve green hairy martians coming out of someone's nose. Or not. Or both. RFCs are a little better (or worse, YMMV) than standards documents (which aren't really written in english per se), as they often concentrate more on "intent" than definition. -- J C Lawrence Home: claw(a)kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder(a)kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

Whatever. The point is that we want to keep people's > reply-to fields where possible. A small note: Given a message with a CC list list _and_ a Reply-To set, a group reply on Many (even most?) MUAs will send the reply to the Reply-To and ignore the CC list (IIRC the RFC is ambiguous in this matter). In this manner if an individual is using Reply-To correctly (to hide the fact that they can't receive mail at their From: address), they are also cutting the other recipients out of the loop for replies. Dangerous. Conversely, if a list does do reply-to munging, this doesn't happen, but the "proper" address for the original post is usually lost. This is off-topic however. -- J C Lawrence Home: claw(a)kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder(a)kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

Be warned that this is a religious topic, and that the technical arguments presented for both sides are (arguably) easily balanced by the arguments from the other side. The following URLs contains reasonable arguments on both sides: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html http://www.metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.mhtml Note that there are also some good pro-reply-to arguments under the first URL, despite its title. -- J C Lawrence Home: claw(a)kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder(a)kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

proxying vs. fastcgi
by ethan mindlace fremen 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

Zopistas, I notice that there are two "performance" options with Zope, proxying and fastcgi. Is there a difference in how they perform or in features? Thanks Ethan Fremen http://imeme.net

Should I go with Zope?
by Eric Walstad 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

To the folks on the Zope(a)zope.org mailing list... I've been trying out Zope on CodeIt's free 2 week trial and my trial is about over. I have no experience with Zope prior to this trial account. I went through the Zope Content Manager's tutorials and have tried to research it thoroughly. We are starting a new web application project and are looking for a stable, scalable platform that will be around and popular/supported for a long time. However, my business partner has brought up some really good questions about our becoming Zope-centric. These are questions that I don't have answers for and was hoping that some of you might be able to answer. 1. It appears that Zope offers little or no support for more tried and true technologies such as Perl and basic CGI. Is this the case? How does one interface with our existing Perl and C++ CGI's? 2. With no basic HTML back up, what if Zope goes down? 3. What is the limit of traffic Zope can serve at once? Can users access the applications reliably, repeatedly? As our 2 week free trial is coming to an end, we need to make a decision about whether to stick with Zope or go with a more universally accepted technology. If you would, please let me know what you think about these issues. Thanks!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Answering my own question: > Am I the only one whose bobo_modification_time started today with > /2000/2/29 instead of /2000/03/01? No, I'm obviously not the only one, see: http://www.zope.org/Members/thomasW/test It seems to be a bug. hmmm .. and if tomorrow happens the same? .. How was the movie called, which comes to my mind now :) Greetings, Thomas
