Form Variables
by David Ayres 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

I've been working around this issue for literally years and finally have the time to seek a real solution. :) I can't find much information, so I'm assuming I'm just taking the wrong approach. Whenever a form is posted, the text fields always show up in the request.form, however any other type of form element that has not been given a value does not show up. None of the fields have the ignore_empty attribute. Besides using the missing= attribute, what other options are there? Most of my forms have optional fields and this is especially painful when trying to use ZSQL Methods or when creating multipage forms that refer to earlier form values. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks, Dave

Single worklist for documents with different states?
by Nikko Wolf 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

I've implemented a workflow (in Plone Workflow, derived from DCWorkflow), and would like my reviewers to see a "worklist" portal. However, since I have two reviewer roles that must independently review the document, I have two intervening states in my workflow (ie: "needAB" then either "needA" or "needB" and then "submitted"). I'd like the "A" reviewers to see documents in the "needA" and "needAB" states, while the reviewers see documents in "needB" and "needAB" states. Of course, I'm presuming these will be separate worklists. Is there some other way to implement these worklists? I can create a "portal_tab" which pulls a ZPT that generates the list of items on which the member could work (as Owner, Editor or one of the reviewer roles), but I was hoping to make the worklists work in the short term.

Z3 ECM at EuroPython 2005
by Paul Everitt 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

Hi all. I'm the the coordinator for the Z3 ECM activities at EuroPython 2005 this month in Sweden: http://www.europython.org/ I oriented this year's Zope track around the Z3 ECM community partnership between developers from CPS, Silva, Union CMS, ZC, Plone, and others. Here is a list of activities that are planned for Z3 ECM: http://www.europython.org/sections/sprints_and_wiki/zope_activities_at_e/vi… As discussed on the Z3 ECM mailing list: http://www.z3lab.org/sections/mailing-lists/z3lab-mailing-list ...we will also be addressing issues of project organization during the conference. The choice of a name will be a funny exercise in watching developers pick something catchy: http://lists.nuxeo.com/pipermail/z3lab/2005-May/000177.html We will also try to make a choice about where the repository lives, and if there is consensus, a choice on how/if to organize the project into a legal entity. If you are going to EuroPython and you are interested in Z3 ECM and these topics, join the mailing list and/or drop me a line. Z3 ECM is a shared partnership founded by the developers of Zope CMS projects, so come join the fun! --Paul

Deconstructing a Zope site
by John Poltorak 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

I have looked at numerous examples of Zope websites, but have no idea about how to go about creating anything similar. Is there any way to deconstruct a Zope site to see all the elements of its makeup? An example of how to build a professional looking site would be nice. Are there any samples/templates anywhere? -- John

UnpickleableError: Cannot pickle <type 'thread.lock'> objects
by Dylan Jay 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

I'm having some ZODB troubles. I'm getting the following error. The problem is I'm not using locks in the objects that are being changed. I do have a lock being used with the Schedule object which is in the acquisition path. but this lock was a module variable rather than a attribute so that shouldn't matter should it? I've also taken the lock code out altogeather now and I'm still getting the same error. Any ideas? 2005-06-14T17:33:39 ERROR(200) SiteError http://localhost:8080/iv/scheduler/noti fyOne Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Zope-2.7.5-final\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py", lin e 107, in publish transactions_manager.commit() File "C:\Program Files\Zope-2.7.5-final\lib\python\Zope\App\startup.py", line 222, in commit get_transaction().commit() File "C:\Program Files\Zope-2.7.5-final\lib\python\ZODB\Transaction.py", line 241, in commit ncommitted += self._commit_objects(objects) File "C:\Program Files\Zope-2.7.5-final\lib\python\ZODB\Transaction.py", line 356, in _commit_objects jar.commit(o, self) File "C:\Program Files\Zope-2.7.5-final\lib\python\ZODB\Connection.py", line 4 52, in commit dump(state) UnpickleableError: Cannot pickle <type 'thread.lock'> objects -- Dylan Jay --- http://www.meetmemap.com - makes giving directions easy http://www.pretaweb.com - Update-it-yourself, low cost websites http://www.eatmanifesto.com - against all dumbing down of food Y!:dylan_jay ICQ:520341 MSN:djsq@hotmail.com Ph:+61423198306

Transferring Zope Settings
by jlegris 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

Hello All, I need to transfer Plone/Zope settings from a test instance to a live instance of the Zope server. Aside from transferring the entire Data.fs file or manually copying scripts and replicating configuration settings, is there a simple way to do this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Regards, Joel

Zope Corp and Z3ECM
by Rob Page 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Zope Corporation is delighted to announce its active participation in the Zope 3 Enterprise Content Management project recently organized by Nuxeo and joined by a number of community members. It's clear that the Zope Community will benefit from a consolidation of common patterns and their implementations in order to grow Zope's market share and we are excited to participate in this effort. In conjunction with the Zope Foundation we expect the Z3ECM project to set the example for global collaboration on sophisticated content management functionality and its application. We are looking forward to launching the Foundation with community involvement so that the Z3ECM project can safely share in the Zope brand. We would like to sincerely thank all of the pioneers who planted the seeds for this effort at the recent sprints (Castle, Paris, etc.). We know from first-hand, large-scale commercial experience that Zope 3 will excel at supporting this effort. Zope Corporation has been making substantial investments in Zope 3 evolution and associated add-on componentry for the last year. An example of this investment is the XML Process Definition Language (XPDL) support that is now available in Zope 3. XPDL support is the first in a series of substantial, customer-inspired contributions that Zope Corporation will be making to the ZECMP over the coming months. Together with Nuxeo's significant ongoing investment in CPS (the Zope 3 version of which will also be contributed to the Z3ECM) we expect the platform will quickly evolve to be the world-leading content management platform. We also propose a name change to the project from Z3ECM to Zope Enterprise Content Management Platform (ZECMP). This will allow the project to disassociate from Zope 3 (it seems likely that there will be 2.8/"5" ports of many/most capabilities). It also makes for a natural transition to the Zope Foundation when that's available in the early Fall. Thanks again to everyone who has helped get Zope 3 and these ideas to this exciting point! Regards, Rob -- Rob Page V: 540.361.1710 Zope Corporation F: 703.995.0412
