Getting information about current method
by Jan-Ole Esleben 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

Hi! I am new to this list and rather new to Zope, so maybe this is a stupid question; unfortunately I haven't been able to find an answer to it anywhere: is there a generic way to find out from Python code which method has been called (in other words: find out where the current method is located in the ZOPE hierarchy and what its name is)? If I call an External Method via a DTML method, of course the REQUEST object contains the path to the DTML method because the External Method hasn't been called via HTTP. I haven't been able to figure out any other way of getting this information. Thanks in advance, Ole

Picking up a parameter in a ZPT
by John Poltorak 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

I'm trying to work out how to pass parameters between various modules running under Zope and have got stuck. In the line below, I need to replace the word 'links' with a variable passed by the calling program python:here.parse_file(file=context.links,sepr=',',clone=1)"> I know I can pass the variable using:- <dtml-var expr="test2(parm='links')"> Just don't know how to reference it under ZPT. Help! -- John

Anyone else seeing > this? How do you mean "fail"? Often times, if you have an error, save, test, and then use the back button, you'll see the old syntax error, even though the contents are the new (and correct) version. If you just revisit the script (click on the id in the breadcrumbs) the message will go away. --jcc -- "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com

Problems in file upload
by Nello Polesello 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

Good morning, anyone ever had problems with the standard template file_edit_form "Add new element" - "File"? With some files (pdf) I obtain "Document contains no data" with Firefox, while Explorer gives me a blank page. I discovered it does NOT depends on file size (I uploaded without any problems a 5 MB file and I can't upload one of 1.6 MB). I never saw this problem on other sites I created with Plone, but only in this server. Nello.

zope 2.7: Unauthorized "in this context"
by John Hunter 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

I recently upgraded my zope server to 2.7 and a product I wrote which makes heavy use of Z-Classes is now broken. This is a workflow site for a course, and there are Course, Section, Student, ProjectSubmission, etc as ZClasses. To view the page at all students undergo basic authentication. When students want to submit some homework (the have the "Add Project Submissions" Class Permission) they click on a link like the following for the ProjectSubmission add form http://myserver.com/Sections/S1/J%20Hunter/manage_addProduct/Course/Project… Where "J Hunter" is the Student, "S1" is the Section and "A Proj" is the ProjectSubmission. This was working fine until the upgrade, the link took them to the ProjectSubmission_addForm and they could add their submission. After the upgrade, now they get another authentication dialog box and after reentering their username and password, they get the dialog box again, and then if they hit cancel they get (verbose info below) Traceback (innermost last): * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 101, in publish * Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object * Module OFS.DTMLMethod, line 130, in __call__ <DTMLMethod instance at 4128fef0> URL: http://srp.uchicago.edu/2005/Sections/B1/Amrita%20Arora/ProjectSubmission_a… Physical Path:/srp/2005/Sections/B1/Amrita Arora/ProjectSubmission_addForm * Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 474, in __call__ * Module DocumentTemplate.DT_With, line 76, in render Unauthorized: You are not allowed to access 'mentor' in this context "mentor" is a field in the StudentPropertySheet. Interestingly, the same result occurs even if I enter a manager or site-root username/password in the authentication dialog box. I googled for the error message and found http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2004-January/021501.html Based on my read of this, I tried adding the "Manager" proxy role to ProjectSubmission_addForm but this did not help. Any ideas? The add form and the verbose traceback are included below. As I say, all was working fine until a server upgrade so I suspect there is a recent zope feature that I am not handling properly.

3rd Party Search Engine
by Eric 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

Hi, I'm in the process of integrating a 3rd party search engine with Zope and have a question about being able to make this work. I'd like to use the spidering capability of this search engine for it to build it's own index. What should the most ideal approach be? 1) Should I write an object in Zope that will interface between the search engine and the objects in Zope? For example, writing an object that uses a script that the search engine could call to Plone to return a list of objects of type 'documents' that were modified in a given range of time. 2) Should I write an object in Zope that will make calls to the Zcatalog to get back simliar results in 1)? I'm concerned about having to manage both the ZCatalog and the 3rd-party search engine's catalog. There may also be performance issues to consider.

[ANN] Zope 2.8.0 released
by Andreas Jung 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

Hi all, on behalf of Zope Corporation and the Zope community I am pleased to announce the release of Zope 2.8.0. You can download Zope 2.8.0 from http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.0/ Some new features of Zope 2.8: - ZODB 3.4 with MVCC (multi version concurrency control) support. MVCC solves nearly every problem with ZODB read-conflict errors which is very important for high-traffic Zope sites. - Extension Classes were rewritten as Python new-style classes making all features of Python new-style classes available in Zope objects. This includes support for cyclic garbage collection. - Integration of Zope 3 technologies through Five (see http://codespeak.net/z3/five/) For more information on what is new in this release, see the CHANGES.txt files for the release: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.0/CHANGES.txt See also: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/Zope2.8/OverView **WARNING:** Due to the major changes in Extension Classes and ZODB there is a risk that some things are broken or do not work as they should. Backup your Data.fs **before** trying 2.8.0b2. Please bring all the bugs you have found to the Zope bugtracker: http://collector.zope.org/Zope":http://collector.zope.org/Zope For more information on the available Zope releases, guidance for selecting the right distribution and installation instructions, please see: http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/InstallingZope.stx Thanks to everyone having contributed to this release (hopefully I did not miss any names): Jim Fulton, Christian Theune, Tim Peters, Fred Drake Jr., Marc Hammond, Sidnei da Silva, Tres Seaver, Stefan Holek, Chris McDonough, -- Andreas Jung (andreas at zopyx dot com)

Objects access
by Hugo Ramos 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

Yellow ppl, Is there a way to know how many times an object has been accessed during current Zope's uptime? Something like the activity tab in /Control_Panel/Database/main but specific to each object in ZODB. Regards -- Hugo Ramos - ramosh(a)gmail.com

There's >SearchableText, but It is not related to the topic... Of course, "NormalizedSearchableText" is *not* mentioned. It is no predefined index. Instead, you should create it. Please reread the chapter again. You are looking for the (general) description how the catalog interacts with the object to determine for which values it should index the object. Once you have understood that, you will understand my proposal to solve your problem... > ... > I mean, I know that chapter, I know Zcatalog. What I want is prefilter >an existing, named, index. You cannot prefilter an existing index (I told you already!). You must create a new one, define a script with the name of the new index and there do your normalization. You can trust me (in this regard) ... If you use a "ZCTextIndex", then you can keep the "SearchableText" name for the (new!) index. In this case, you must use the name of your normalizing script as "Indexed attributes" in the definition of your "ZCTextIndex". -- Dieter
