- Zope - Zope lists

Using Zope with a third party provider
by Kurt Beyer 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

Hello All! I intend to put up my web-page using Zope but my provider refuses to install Zope and grant me access to it. So, this is my question: a) Is it possible to treat the Zope-Process as "normal CGI"? b) If so, what has my provider to do with it? c) If none, is it enough to just install the complete Zope distribution within my home-folder on my prodvider's server? Thanks for any help! Regards, Kurt.

Problem editing big files with Netscape and WinNT
by Frederik Ferner 16 Feb '00

Hi! I have a problem when I try to edit a dtml-document with the edit form in Netscape running on WinNT or Win98. If the document is too big, I can only delete characters but not type anything in. It's no problem using Internet Explorer or from any UNIX machine. Frederik Ferner

Re: [Zope] Is this a bug with multiple selection lists?
by Michael Halle 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

This problem *isn't* fixed in the latest release. Here's a patch to fix it (I submitted it to the Collector). In addition, if you render your own multiple selection lists, you need to check to make sure the value of your property isn't None when deciding what to select.

Zope versions and Emacs
by Petr Knapek 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

Zopists, I have any problem with Zope versions when I edit my DTML code in Emacs and update it through FTP access. I see no indication (red diamond) of such a way changed DTML method (or other object) and the version tells me, that there is no change in this version. But, on the other hand, I can see this change in the UNDO Zope tab. Does anyone know more about this? I prefer to edit DTML code in Emacs and not in web interface, where there is no problem with Zope versions. -- Petr Knápek PVT.NET, e-mail: petr.knapek(a)pvt.net, tel:+420-5-41 558 394 PVT a.s. - pvt.net, Veveří 102, 659 10 Brno, Czech Republic

GenericUserFolder Question
by James W. Howe 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

I'm trying to work with the GenericUserFolder product. I've been following the How To and I don't seem to be getting the results I would expect. I've installed the product, created a test folder with an acl_users folder. I deleted the acl_users folder and added a GenericUserFolder. I configured the security settings on acl_users as specified in the GUF readme. I then tried to access my test folder from a different browser (to make sure I would be asked for authentication). When I tried to access the folder, I got the simple login screen. I entered the values 'jorge' for the username and 'secret' for the password. When I pressed Ok, I didn't see the index_html file for the folder, instead I got the login screen once again. Can someone help me out with some ideas on what I might have done wrong (or not done at all?) Thanks. James W.

Re: [Zope] Duplicate column name in ZSQL Method

zodb Q
by - 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

hi all, i still can't make out how zodb works. i see that it increases it's sizes after a while. if i pack, it shrinks back. what is really happening? i read in previous threads, all unreferenced objects are kept until packed. will cache garbage collection do this? will frequent garbage collection (30 sec) help? the site i'm maintaining has a phenomenal zodb size increase. when i pack, it goes down from 550M to 20M. this is in one day. i wonder how zope.org tackles this? how can i do this automatically? read zope admin and content manager guide, but there's only brief rundowns. any pointers, docs, howtos apreciated. tq -- -- ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.kedai.com.my/kk Am I Evil?
