ZopeZoo
by John Poltorak 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

In my quest to get to grips with the basics of ZPT I eventually stumbled across ZopeZoo which I found very useful. Looking at it again, there seem to be several variations of the same examples. I used this one:- http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/SimpleExamples.stx#2-10 but find there are a couple of variations here:- http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/SimpleExamples.… http://www.zope.org/Members/jwhitener/zopeZoo_2_6 Is there a definitive site for ZopeZoo? And is there a followup anywhere? I found I was getting the hang of it but could have done with a part two to show how to incorporate various divisions such as columns under ZPT. -- John

RE: [Zope] bytecode cache?
by Pascal Peregrina 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Well, as far as I know, "bytecode" is generated by the marshal module. And marshal can only precompile simple data types and code (classes, functions). So objects (class instances) can not be byte compiled. But I may be wrong... However, I had a funny idea too... I have been wondering about using marshal in ZODB instead of pickle, I mean, we only store object's states there, and as far as I have been investigating object states are simple python types that could be handled by marshal... But I am pretty sure I may have missed something that makes this completely impossible to achieve. It's just that, even using the highest protocol in pickle, serialization and deserialization of simple python types is much faster with marshal.

Dear zope core developers, I have idea about bytecode cache in Zope, it is possible to implement? What I mean: python scripts (in ZODB), DTML documents/methods, ZPT will be bytecode compiled in similar way like ordinary .py scripts into .pyc and then run much faster than "noncompiled" ZODB objects. I think that it should have significant speed improvement. ... or I am totally out?

Zope crashing after movin Plone site to RHEL 4
by Mário Gamito 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

Hi, I have this 1.0.2 Plone site running for about two years, or so. It always ran smoothly. Recently, i've moved it to a new server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. I've compiled Python 2.1.3 and start Zope with: exec /usr/local/python-2.1.3/bin/python $cwd/z2.py -L 'pt_PT' -u zope "$@" Now, i'm having this big problem: Zope crashes every day once or twice. Onle restoring a previous Zope backup i can get Zope and Plone up again. Is there something wrong here ? Something specific to RHEL 4 ? Thank you in advance. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

New External Editor release 0.9
by Chris McDonough 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

Since Casey Duncan, the original author of Zope External Editor is happily hacking away on other things at a new job, I figure I might as well pick up maintenance of this product. The new location for External Editor releases will be: http://plope.com/software/ExternalEditor/ A new release (0.9) is available at that location and the changes for the release are visible at http://plope.com/software/ExternalEditor/CHANGES-0.9.txt . Most changes in this release are aimed at improving zopeedit behavior under Windows. Have fun! - C

ZPT & contents slot
by John Poltorak 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

If I create a macro which defines a slot called 'content', is there any way to have that slot populated by a file with a specific name if it exists in a folder? What I'd like to do is create a structure text file, in each of the folders A B C and have it automatically loaded into a content slot of a master template whenever the options A B C are selected. Can I do that, and if so how? I have spent all day looking at ZPT references and have no idea if what I'd like to do is possible. -- John

Zope External Editor Problem
by hpinson＠indepthl.com 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

Hello. I am having a problem with Zope External Editor 0.8 - the helper app running on W2K. This problem occurred on upgrade from the previous version. When I lauch the external editor, by clicking the pencil, MS Word lauches (and if I save, badly mangles the HTML. In ZopeEdit.ini my editor setting has not changed: # Uncomment and specify an editor value to override the editor # specified by the operating system editor = C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\TextPad.exe I used to be able to change this path to Dreamweaver as well, but when I do that, only MS Word launches. What could account for this? Is there a solution to get Zope External Editor working as it did prior to the upgrade?

The macro page (from Help! > Zope Help > ZPT Reference > metal:define-slot) we will call 'master.html':: Hello World A client page (from metal:fill-slot):: Hello Kevin Bacon In CMF/Plone/etc, one would usually say 'context' instead of 'container' because of the skins sytem. It is not a great intellectual leap to replace "Hello" with header-type page structure, and replace the whitespace after the slot with footer-type structure. --jcc -- "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com

Hello, list. I have a problem with my product. I use Zope 2.7.5 and Plone 2.0.5. I need to create the copy of Document content-type on my product's install the same way as it is done in portal_types via "Factory-based Type Information" option of dropdown. I just need to have the copy of it and to alter some fields. Please advise. Thank you. -- Best regards, Denis Mishunoff mailto:spliter@sdtcom.lg.ua http://plonetarium.objectis.net

Hi- I got zope 2.8 installed on fedora core 4. Whenever I execute this command to start zope /usr/local/zope/instance/bin/runzope, I get this error: Error: The object named by "DBTab.ClassFactories.autoClassFactory" could not be imported Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/datatypes.py", line 93, in importable_name package = __import__(n, g, g, component) File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/DBTab/ClassFactories.py", line 18, in ? import OFS.Uninstalled File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/OFS/Uninstalled.py", line 16, in ? import SimpleItem, Globals, Acquisition File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/OFS/SimpleItem.py", line 25, in ? import Globals, App.Management, Acquisition, App.Undo File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/Globals.py", line 23, in ? import Acquisition, ComputedAttribute, App.PersistentExtra, os File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/App/PersistentExtra.py", line 16, in ? from class_init import default__class_init__ File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/App/class_init.py", line 14, in ? from AccessControl.PermissionRole import PermissionRole File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/AccessControl/__init__.py", line 17, in ? from Implementation import setImplementation File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/AccessControl/Implementation.py", line 98, in ? setImplementation("C") File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/AccessControl/Implementation.py", line 51, in setImplementation from AccessControl import ImplC as impl File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/AccessControl/ImplC.py", line 29, in ? from ImplPython import RestrictedDTML, SecurityManager ImportError: No module named ImplPython (line 914 in file:///usr/local/zope/instance/etc/zope.conf) For help, use /usr/local/zope/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py -h I noticed that this affected other people from some discussions, but I couldn't find any solution. Does anybody have an idea where I can start? My buddy got his working on fedora core 4 fine, so it shouldn't be a problem. When I first compiled zope, I used this command. "./configure --prefix=/usr/loca/zope --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.4". Any help would be much appreciated! -Tyson
