DESPERATION: ZCatalog search madness
by Darran Edmundson 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

I've been tottering on the edge of sanity for a couple of days now, the launch of my site delayed indefinitely by the most bizarre problems with ZCatalog searching. Nearly all of the content I generate results from searches of catalogued data and without this I am sunk. Imagine a list of recent publications or a notice for forthcoming seminars that returns null or incorrect records. As an example, consider the following catalog of Journal instances. (Journal is a catalogAware ZClass.) I have a catalog 'publicationCatalog' with 3 catalogued objects. Excerpts from my index status tab: 3 object are indexed in Year (integer, FieldIndex) 3 object are indexed in Journal (string, FieldIndex) 3 object are indexed in Authors (string, TextIndex) Metatable data includes the above indexes as columns plus others. The following baseline Author search returns all 3 records. <dtml-in "publicationCatalog(Authors='Kivshar')"> <dtml-var Authors>, <dtml-var Journal>, (<dtml-var Year>).<br> </dtml-in> Ostrovskaya Kivshar Chen Segev, Optics Letters, (2000). Ostrovskaya Kivshar, Journal of Optics B: Quantum Semiclassical Optics, (1990). Ostrovskaya Kivshar Skryabin Firth, Physical Review Letters, (1995). Fine. However, if I now try and order the Journals by either the Year or Journal FieldIndices, the result is an empty search result! E.g., <dtml-in "publicationCatalog(Authors='Kivshar',sort_on='Year')"> <dtml-var Authors>, <dtml-var Journal>, (<dtml-var Year>).<br> </dtml-in> Next I set all of the Journal instances to have the same year, 2000, so that the baseline search returns: <dtml-in "publicationCatalog(Authors='Kivshar')"> Ostrovskaya Kivshar, Journal of Optics B: Quantum Semiclassical Optics, (2000). Ostrovskaya Kivshar Skryabin Firth, Physical Review Letters, (2000). Ostrovskaya Kivshar Chen Segev, Optics Letters, (2000). This search works: <dtml-in "publicationCatalog(Year=2000,sort_on='Journal')"> Ostrovskaya Kivshar, Journal of Optics B: Quantum Semiclassical Optics, (2000). Ostrovskaya Kivshar Chen Segev, Optics Letters, (2000). Ostrovskaya Kivshar Skryabin Firth, Physical Review Letters, (2000). Whereas this one returns an empty result: <dtml-in "publicationCatalog(Authors='Kivshar',sort_on='Journal')"> and this one causes a key error: <dtml-in "publicationCatalog(Authors='Kivshar',sort_on='Year')"> Traceback (innermost last): File /tmp_mnt/users/optics/www124/Zope-2.1.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File /tmp_mnt/users/optics/www124/Zope-2.1.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish File /tmp_mnt/users/optics/www124/Zope-2.1.4-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 202, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /tmp_mnt/users/optics/www124/Zope-2.1.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 165, in publish File /tmp_mnt/users/optics/www124/Zope-2.1.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: recentPublications) File /tmp_mnt/users/optics/www124/Zope-2.1.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: recentPublications) File /tmp_mnt/users/optics/www124/Zope-2.1.4-src/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 145, in __call__ (Object: recentPublications) File /tmp_mnt/users/optics/www124/Zope-2.1.4-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: recentPublications) File /tmp_mnt/users/optics/www124/Zope-2.1.4-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py, line 672, in renderwob (Object: publicationCatalog(Authors='Kivshar',sort_on='Year')) File /tmp_mnt/users/optics/www124/Zope-2.1.4-src/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/Lazy.py, line 190, in __getitem__ KeyError: (see above) I upgraded my Zope to 2.1.4 today hoping this would solve my problems but no such luck. I've packed my database, changed types of my Journal instance data, recreated my catalog, pored over the source, searched the archives, even cried a little. To paraphrase Dr. Evil, can someone PLEASE tell me what's wrong with my frickin "ZCatalog"? In desperation, Darran.

Watch out that you don't get fresh created files, that are owned by Zope while zope is starting up and is still running as root. In general this doesn't happen unless some folders would be missing, and are recreated. If you start zope with it's own uid/gid you'll prevent running into this issue. > > When I log in, the browser spins after displaying the WP headers. top on the > server shows the Zope python process (running as nobody) and an imapd process > (running as me) sucking all the CPU, but nothing happens. > > If I click on one of the links in the header, I can see the calendar, to-do > list, etc., but the mail pane shows a Zope error, with "readonly -- INBOX" at > the foot of the traceback. > > What am I doing wrong? It looks like the imaplib.py your zope is importing hasn't been patched yet. stock imaplib.py has a bug, that results in an infinite loop. patching it should solve your problem. concerning the readonly INBOX folder using UW IMAP server, I've heard from other users that this appears on some versions of UW IMAP and some not? We're not using UW IMAP (yet), we use Cyrus. Maybe somebody else using UW IMAP has figured out what the issue is there and how to fix it?

Blocking download of files...
by Juri Jensen 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to block the abillity to download objects of type file (e.g. right-clicking on a file and choose "Save Link as...")? I'm asking because I have a site with PDF-files, which I want the users to read through their webbrowser (via the PDF-plugin), but not to download. Hope some of you can help... -- mvh./Best regards Juri Jensen ----------------------------------- Pingvin Partner - Linux løsninger email: juri(a)jones.dk -----------------------------------

string comparison question
by Rowan Hick 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

This is probably really dumb, but I can't figure out how to do the following: Compare the ntype variable in the following code with a straight boring old string eg "BLOCKQUOTE" eg if nytpe = blockquote, then print text_content() in italics.. <dtml-in "getChildNodes()"> <dtml-let ntype="getNodeName()"> <dtml-if ...condition..... > print something </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> I've looked through the DTML help file but it's confused me more than anything else, I'm guessing I need to use the find(S, SUB[, START]) syntax as part of the string module But I can't figure it out.. there's no examples in the help of string comparison functions and what this _ business is all about, I'm sure after I see an example it will all become quite clear, but for the life of me I just can't get it sorted..

versions - actual usage
by morton＠dennisinter.com 24 Feb '00

24 Feb '00

Hi Peeps, Im begining a Zope project, and the versions and undo features are going to be extremely usefull. The project involves the publishing of an online magazine. There will be a number of roles, including author and editor, and a process involving authors creating material and editors changing and approving material. Ive never had versioning facilities available before, and wondered if anyone has implemented a multi-user publishing system (or something like it) using Zope and might be willing to share some of their experiences and architectural insights, especially concerning the use of roles, permissions, and versions. A couple of questions about versions: Would using versions to 'archive' past issues be a bad use of versions? Is this actually possible? Is there a way to create a partial version, for example one restricted to a part of a tree? Is there a way to create a version within a version? Where multiple people are working on a site, is it best for each person to be working in their own version, or is it best for each section of a site to have its own version, or should their be one version which everyone works in? Whats the best way to leverage the facility of having multiple versions? Thanx in advance, Damien Morton

DISCUSS: Zope Documentation Plan
by Amos Latteier 24 Feb '00

24 Feb '00

Hello, Documentation is one of Zope's weakest points. For Zope to be a popular application server and a vital open source project this needs to change. As you may have heard, DC is opening up a Portland, Oregon office. We've decided to take this opportunity to work on Zope documentation more seriously. The Portland office (that's me, Michel Pelletier, and Karl Anderson) have been charged with the mandate of improving Zope documentation. To this end, I've prepared a short plan which summarizes our goals and some of the projects that we're working on to achieve those goals. http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/Documentation/Plan I'm interested in feedback from the Zope community on the plan. Do you agree with the goals and projects? What else should we be doing to improve Zope documentation? If you are interested in being involving in the documentation projects listed in the plan, please write the listed contact people. We will have more information about the current documentation projects available as the projects progress. Thanks for your feedback! -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
