Bug report (?)
by Jérôme Loisel 30 Jan '00

30 Jan '00

Hi! I think I have a bug to report. I am in the process of making my first Zope web-site, so I do not know much about Zope yet, but I will try to explain as clearly as I can anyway. I have a folder, /Foo (actual name removed), which contains the actual project. Everything related to that site is in there, normally. In that folder, I have redefined standard_html_header and such, and created a few subfolders. One such is /Foo/FooImages. In it, I put all of my site-wide images. About half an hour ago, I added a small image in there: coin_rond_bleu. It was a blue rounded "corner" for a table. Since I was fighting with the Gimp at the time to get that "corner" just right, I had to delete the thing and re-import it from my home a few times. Eventually, I got frustrated. Modifications I was making in the Gimp did not seem to affect what I saw in Zope. I eventually deleted /Foo/FooImages/coin_rond_bleu once more, and re-imported the image as /Foo/FooImages/coin_rond_bleu2. That actually worked. It seems that petit_coin_rond, even when officially "deleted" by Zope, still survives somehow, and haunts my database. Ghastly. Now, if I import an image under /Foo/FooImages/petit_coin_rond, viewing it shows me the ghost of petit_coin_rond, get this, *scaled* to the size of the image I imported. The upshot, of course, is I can easily create blue rounded corners of all shapes and sizes... :-) Is there any way to kill it? Is this a known bug? Thank you for the software and the information, and happy coding.

Whats the best way to Automatically Start Zope Server on bootup??
by Robert Geiger 30 Jan '00

Whats the best way to Automatically Start Zope Server on bootup?? I have SuSE 6.2 system. I am having some trouble (newbie, sorry) deciding what the best way to start it up automatically. Docs say boot.local, but it stops the process. Do I run it as daemon? If so how? In background?? Not sure. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

First, login as root. cd to /sbin/init.d/ and copy 'skeleton' to, say, 'zope' or whatever you want to call the script file. Edit the zope file with your favorite text editor. Change all instances of 'START_FOO' to 'START_ZOPE'. Then in the start) and stop) sections, uncomment (remove the "#" on that line) the startproc and killproc lines. Depending on how you've got your system setup, you'll need to figure out what goes here. If you're running ZServer so you'll want to put the path to Zope's start and stop scripts where skeleton has /sbin/foo. In the reload) section, uncomment the "$0 stop && $0 start || return=$rc_failed" line. The status) section is the same as you've done to start) and stop). I don't think probe) applies here so leave it as it is. Save this file and exit the editor. Test it by calling /sbin/init.d/zope start, /sbin/init.d/zope stop and /sbin/init.d/zope status. Once that's working, the next step is to create a symbolic link from the zope file you've created to one of the runlevel directories. I'd put mine in rc2.d as that's a logical place to start services such as Zope. cd to /sbin/init.d/rc2.d/ and type ln -s ../zope S22zope and then ln -s ../zope K22zope These files will be called when your system stops and starts providing an environment variable has been defined. So, the final step is to define that variable. cd to /etc and edit rc.config. Make a backup if you're new to manually tweaking this file as if you mess it up, your system may not boot! Scroll down and somewhere just after all the START_* entries, put # # Start Zope Daemon? (yes/no) # START_ZOPE=yes If you want to disable Zope when your system starts or stops, you can now use yast to toggle the Yes or No entry. If you upgrade SuSE to another release, be sure to keep a copy of the zope shell file and /etc/rc.config. I don't think the move from 6.2 -> 6.3 messes anything up but you never know. If yast replaces the files, you'll need to edit them again. Probably the worst case is yast might strip out your edits to rc.config but this is unlikely. Good luck! Cheers, Jules

Not quite getting server side include type behaviour on items in child folders. child folders.
by Jules 30 Jan '00

30 Jan '00

Hello Zopistas. I'd like to be able to organize some content in logical child folders and then include that content in a parent DTML method. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get it just right. For instance, the DTML document "foo" simply contains the following: I am foo. If I include this DTML document in the same or parent folder as my method and reference it, no problems. Typing <dtml-var foo1> spits out the contents of foo with the HTML paragraph tags intact. God bless Acquisition! Child folders is where I'm bumping in to things. If I create a "bar" child folder and cut/paste "foo" in there, no luck. <dtml-var bar.foo> barfs with a KeyError traceback. Putting quotes around it grabs the file but turns things like "I am foo." into "I am foo.". And foo doesn't work as a method rather than a document, either. I'm obviously doing something wrong. Any ideas? Cheers, Jules

| Try: | | <dtml-var "bar.foo()"> | | This will call DTML Method foo and render the results. Doh! Of course. Worked like a charm. Thanks! Cheers, Jules PS Good to see you at lunch the other day at 8IPC. Hope you got as much out of it as I did.

DCOracle for 8.1.5 (8i)
by Cayce Ullman 29 Jan '00

29 Jan '00

I'm using 8i under linux right now.... Here is my Setup file : *shared* # Setup file for Oracle 8.0.4 (Tested for Solarus on Intel and Sparc). # # Unfortunately, the libraries needed to link Oracle change from revision # to revision. # # Oracle provides a make file for building "demo" programs in # $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk. I have been unable to # use this make file to build Python extensions. Adapting it is # not adequate, because it may change for new Oracle revs. # My approach is to use demo_rdbms.mk to build one of the # demo programs, look at the libraries linked, and start from there. :-( # ORACLE_INCLUDES=$(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/demo -I$(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/public -I$(ORACLE_HOME)/network/public -I$(ORACLE_HOME)/plsql/public ORACLE_L=-lnjni8 ORACLE_LIBS=$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib $(ORACLE_L) oci_ oci_.c -I$(ORACLE_INCLUDES) -L$(ORACLE_LIBS) -DDCORACLE8 Buffer Buffer.c # End of setup file. The original setup file I used had a ton of libraries and it made an so file that is 5.4 megs. Now I've found you can link against the njni8 lib (no idea what that is) but it makes a 230k so and it all seems to work. Cayce __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

WebDAV client for MacOS (and question)
by Jim Harrison 29 Jan '00

29 Jan '00

For those interested, there is a functional Mac WebDAV client called Goliath at <http://www.webdav.org/goliath/> with source and executable available under the Gnu GPL. Interestingly, DTML methods downloaded via WebDAV are executed first so that the resulting html is sent (similar to what would be sent to a web browser for a standard http request) rather than the dtml code of the method. This limits the usefulness of WebDAV for editing methods and dynamic pages. Does anyone know whether there is something I need to set up in Zope to allow it to send the actual method code (I'm running Zope 2.1.2)? Jim Harrison Univ. of Pittsburgh

i am trying to see if the file cover.gif exists. the directory structure is: /palette4/2000-01-27/cover.gif. since the date is the variable "issue," i am having trouble stringing the whole statment together. <dtml-if "_.hasattr(PARENTS[-2].palette4,issue,'cover.gif')"> this clearly does not work. anybody have an idea? thanks, kyle

Our IMP-based solution on www.ekno.com and www.ekit.com implements POP as 'fetch from remote POP server into local IMAP store'. That works ok. It also means you can keep the logic of displaying messages cleaner. Anthony
