Netscape 4.05 is remarkably stable for a *scape (even with Javascript/Java turned on). I can typically manage a Netscape uptime fo 3 - 4 weeks with 4.05 running at least 20 parallel windows. The other more recent versions aren't worth bothering with. -- 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 |=--

Acquisition Question
by James W. Howe 26 Jan '00

26 Jan '00

When an object is acquired, particularly something like a DTMLMethod, does the acquired object have knowledge about where it was defined? For example, suppose FolderA defines a method called 'foo'. A method in FolderB references 'foo' but FolderB does not define foo. The method might be acquired by a URL like this: /FolderA/FolderB/someMethodWhichReferencesFoo. Is there some way that the code in 'foo' would know that it was the foo which belonged to FolderA (as opposed to some other foo which might belong to some other object)? Thanks. James W.

Re. Fitting Zope into publishing process

Hi John, No, you're not alone in your search for "the way" to mesh Zope with a "traditional" (brain dead?) Web site. This is exactly where I'm at, and though I'd love to see my team on a path to total Zope-dom, it's not realistic. I'm looking at several tools that other Zopephiles have put together to see how best to leverage what Zope doesn't control, meanwhile showcasing as many flashy features that Zope can add along the way. My approach, which is very much a process of discovery, is to create a Web Forms based Work Flow Application, with URLs, user IDs, Roles and Permissions, tucked neatly in a backend RDB, with some pre-commit "buffering" in Zope's internal GadFly implementation. Here's some of my current toolkit : LocalFS from Jonathan Farr http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/LocalFS/LocalFS-0.1.4.tgz/ PseudoImage from K S Lee http://www.zope.org/Members/kslee/pseudo_image/ ZFormulator from Martijn Faassen http://www.zope.org/Members/faassen/ZFormulator TTImage from RainDog http://www.zope.org/Members/RainDog/TTImage MySQLUserFolder from vladap http://www.zope.org/Members/vladap/mysqlUserFolder and I have high hopes for the rapid development of the Xen project from Netizen, http://bits.netizen.com.au/Xen/ and of course scouts are always on the lookout for the 1.0 release of the Zope Portal Toolkit! http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK The need to weave Zope into the status quo is bound to be the common thread across many sites, and this may be a big enough topic to have a dedicated forum. Later, Jerry S.

RE: [Zope] Any news from ZOPE track?

Quickly because I have to leave for the conference in a couple minutes but: - Chris Petrilli gave tutorials about Zope on Monday. - Eric Raymond kicked off the conference with a keynote. - John Udell talked about synergies between XML and Zope.. - A really cool workgroup email/calendarding/contact management system called WorldPilot (which is based on Zope) is going to be open- sourced... - We finally showed off the Portal Toolkit. - Philip Eby talked about object orientation. - Lots of cool stuff... its nice to match faces to names too.

Fix for lots of MailHost problems!
by Stephen Pitts 26 Jan '00

26 Jan '00

I was having lots of trouble with <dtml-sendmail>, and I investigated the code for MailHost. Instead of using the excellent smtplib module (that ships with Python) to send EMail, the folks at DC decided to write their own, using sockets. The attatched patch replaces 100+ lines of socket-based code with 2 line calls to smtplib. I think that this will improve the reliability of MailHost dramatically. As a side effect, the timeout and localhost properties of MailHosts are gone. So far, the basic <dtml-sendmail> tag works perfectly. Someone try this out and tell me what you think. -- Stephen Pitts smpitts(a)midsouth.rr.com webmaster - http://www.mschess.org

Calendar tag 0.9.5 buglet
by Dr. Ross Lazarus 26 Jan '00

26 Jan '00

A very minor misfeature to fix for the next release. line 246 of CalendarTag.py has s = s + '<font color="%(leftfgcolor)s">' which renders literally since leftfgcolor is not in the namespace. It makes all the month names in the year view a ghastly green on my machine. Change it to s = s + '<font color="%s">' % v['leftfgcolor'] and it works better. Interesting that the %(foo)s syntax can hide bugs this way....??

Implementing new REQUESTED_METHOD handlers
by Jeroen Baekelandt 26 Jan '00

26 Jan '00

Hi, Is it possible to have a Product (or an External Method) handle, say, a MOVE REQUESTED_METHOD? I'm trying to make a Product which handles Netscape Roaming profiles, but to do that, I need Zope to handle the not standard MOVE method. These methods are normally handled by the webserver, i think. Isn't there an API to extend/modify the webserver included with zope (like you can modify apache with eg. mod_perl?) Jeroen

If you mean odbc driver, use whatever you got with > oracle, but check technet for upgrades. There may be more than one way to do this but I found I needed to install the SQL Net bit of Oracle for NT which gave me the "Oracle73 Ver 2.5" ODBC driver. You need then to configure the TNSNAMES.ORA file. I could then connect to remote Unix-hosted Oracle databases OK with the Zope ODBCDA (ignoring some problems with date/time fields which I'm told have now been fixed). I've never fathomed what the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" driver (the "names in quotes" above are how they appear to me in the NT ODBC control panel) - that seems to be part of the standard NT issue - can actually do? Is this for locally hosted Oracle databases? Paul -- The Library, Tyndall Avenue, Univ. of Bristol, Bristol, BS8 1TJ, UK E-mail: paul.browning(a)bris.ac.uk URL: http://www.bris.ac.uk/

broken ZMySQLDA II
by Ragnar Beer 26 Jan '00

26 Jan '00

I've come closer to the solution but not close enough... I overlooked an error occuring in the "python build.py" step, because after the first time I installed zope successfully I wrote an install-script to do the work for me the next time. Ok, the error-message is: ImportError: libmysqlclient.so.6: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory I remembered that the last time I saw this error I created a link mysql in /usr/lib/ pointing to /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql. But this time it didn't do the job. I also edited the Setup file ...-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql. Still not found. But it is there. What's going wrong? Ragnar
