developing with zmi: how to move a patch from data from devel to live?
by gabor 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

hi, my problem is the following... imagine that you develop something for the customer using zope. while developing you use the ZMI a lot... to set some settings, to create python scripts and so on. you do this on the 'devel' server. then you deliver the solution to the customer (to the 'live' server). you can simply copy the data.fs stuff to the live server. after some time the either customer wants some new features, or there's a bug to fix or something like that. now you create the fix/improvement on the devel server. but now how do you move the improvement/fix to the live server? you cannot just copy the data.fs over. the customer already has some content/data in it... one way seems to be to not use the ZMI at all. you create an install python script, which calls the methods of the ZMI interface. this way works, but it seems for me to waste my time. finding the right method that the gui calls to call it from the install script seems stupid for me. but it solves the problem. with the script i can really make the changes i need on the devel server. so, is there a solution where i can use the ZMI? how do you solve this kind of problem? gabor

RE: [Zope] custom_persist_obj

You have a built-in Zope object for this : PersistentMapping. dict1=PersistentMapping({'a':1,'b':1,'c':1, ...}) dict1=PersistentMapping({'a':2,'d':4,'e':6}) The only thing you can not do compared to dictionaries is : for key in dict1: do something (you need to use for key in dict1.keys():...)

Graphical front end for Zope?
by John Poltorak 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

I don't suppose there is such a thing as a graphical front end for building Zope sites... I've just been trying out a Flash based product called SiteMaker http://www.moonfruit.com/ which made designing web pages a doddle. Just wish there was something which would simplify the building of a Zope site. -- John

Passing parameters using DTML
by John Poltorak 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

Can someone provide an example of passing parameters using DTML? I'm sure this must be doable, but don't see an example in the Zope Book. I assume it would go something like <dtml-var var1 parm1 parm2> but how would var1 pick up parm1 parm2? -- John

Error Compiling Zope

I'm trying to compile Zope on a remote (hosting) server. It gets pretty far, but then I get this error: copying and adjusting test.py -> /home/furlist/public_html/GroupServer-0.1rc3/Zope-2.7.4-0/build-base/python-2.4/build-scripts error: /home/furlist/public_html/GroupServer-0.1rc3/Zope-2.7.4-0/build-base/python-2.4/build-scripts/mkzeoinstance.py: No such file or directory make: *** [build] Error 1 There is no mkzeoinstance.py but there is a mkzopeinstance.py. Is there a spelling error somewhere, or a missing file?

Softwarepatents: European Parliament will decide in 11 days
by Jan Ulrich Hasecke 19 Jun '05

19 Jun '05

Hi all! Please excuse this slightly offtopic posting: In 11 to 13 days the EP will decide about softwarepatents. So in the next days the members of the EP will make up their minds and read the guideline for the first time. Many MEPs do not understand what they read. There are 260 requests for modification, which they must read and understand too. There are some MEPs which will give recommendations to the members of their party, but these MEPs are lobbied by the big players, who want to have software patents in the EU. But you can change their minds. The FFII (www.ffii.org) read all requests of modification and made a recommendation "How to vote". Please phone your MEP, try to talk with him, but it is also ok to talk to his assistant, and ask him to follow the recommendations of the FFII. You will find more information here: http://noepatents.eu.org/index.php/NO_Software_Patents A list of all MEPs sorted by zip code: http://www.ffii.org/%7Eblasum/tmp/meps.txt The recommendations: http://europarl.ffii.org/amendments.en.html Please act immediately. The MEPs need your help to decide. This is not a joke. They do not really understand the issue. Please clarify them, how softwarepatents will change the IT-economy in europe. Tell them that your business and your employees are in danger when great companies sue them. Spend some hours to save the future of your business! juh -- DZUG e.V.
