Need a list of words not indexed by Catalog
by Jason Spisak 13 Sep '99

13 Sep '99

Can we get a public list of the words not indexed by the Catalog? I just spent a few hours being tortured trying to find out why a guy in the Datbase of 10,000 whose name is 'Max Many', doesn't come up on a last name search, and guess what, the Catalog doesn't index his last name. The word 'many'. Suprize! This is the third gotcha word we've expericened (don't try to find C/C++ in a document) and it's makes people doubt the software. (I explain about the size of indexes and such, and I understand it, but every surprise word you can't find is another step backward.) You might publish a list of words you'll never find in the Catalog. Just in case one of them happens to be a very big part of someone's business. All my best, -- Jason Spisak webmaster(a)hiretechs.com

multimedia zclasses?
by Kuraiken 13 Sep '99

13 Sep '99

Hello all, I was showing off Zope the other day to a workmate (he's a graphic artist type) and he said "hey that's cool" (yeah, zclasses and zcatalog are cool :-)) then he asked: I wonder if zope can handle stuff like serving mp3 and streaming media like real-audio, flash...? Err...yeah, that'd be cool too, I guess. But is that possible? How difficult would such a beast (or beasts) be? Thoughts? Ideas? (Now I just _know_ someone's going to announce - in a couple of hours - a realmedia zclass v0.0.1, right? ;-)) Regards, -- ----------------------------------------- Kuraiken - Python fanatic. ----------------------------------------- Python.

Zope Permissions
by Katrin 13 Sep '99

13 Sep '99

hi everybody! i have a little problem with permission settings. i'm writing a product in python. the product installs dtml methods when installed in a folder. now i want zope to ask for the user name and the password when a certain page is rendered as an URL (zope doesn't have a user name yet). i found out that in order to get the zope login window, i have to uncheck the view permission of the page (i mean the checkbox for acquire permission settings). how can i uncheck the box using python in my product? or how can i delete the view permission for this page in my product? i hope someone's able to help me here. thanks in advance, katrin

NT Install Problem with Zope 2.0.0
by tmk＠skynet.be 13 Sep '99

13 Sep '99

Hello, Sorry if this question has been answered already... I tried a search but to no avail... Trying to install Zope 2 on my NT machine I got the following error message near the end of install (97%) "You do not have access to make the required system configuration modifications. Please rerun this installation from an administrators account". And the install aborts after I okeyed the dialog. Problem is I'm logged in as the administrator for this machine! Any clue as to what the installer is trying to do and how I could work around this problem would be very much appreciated. TIA = tmk =

If this is not already there as a feature request, I think it would be a good request. One comment about this existing patch: It does not do everything one might want. In *general*, it will remove the unwanted part of the URL. However, functions like absolute_url() do not give the values you would want. (That *may* be the only problem, and maybe a small patch to absolute_url is all that is needed). Either way, a solid way to host multiple sites out of one Zope would be an excellent thing. Kevin

Re: [Zope] Suppressing <BASE> tag

Why can this not be disabled? > Well, the only way is to include a BASE tag (possibly) in your HTML. Hmm, I tried that. It worked in that it suppressed the BASE tag, but failed in that it basically broke the entire site. Apparently, Zope does not issue a redirect for: http://some.site/foo/Folder to: http://some.site/foo/Folder/ <rant> It really, really, really should redirect that. It is really silly to have to put in a Base tag, and that makes it extremely difficult to do some things like mirroring or virtual hosting. </rant> -- John Goerzen Linux, Unix consulting & programming jgoerzen(a)complete.org | Developer, Debian GNU/Linux (Free powerful OS upgrade) www.debian.org | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The 272,577th digit of pi is 7.

There needs to be some standard cataloging infrastructure so that objects can catalog themselves easily. -Michel

This is a feature. Adjust your directory permissions, or run Zope as a user (other than root) who has permission to read and write the var directory. -Michel

Newbie needs advice
by picasso＠videotron.ca 13 Sep '99

13 Sep '99

HI, I have been playing with Zope for a few days, and I am trying to evaluate whether it could fit our needs. We are a group of people working in graphic design, both for printing and for the web. We are all located in different cities and have different specialties, but work on common projects. For each project, we must exchange numerous files containing some "metainformation" (for instance, project id, steps in the project, etc.). We are looking for a tool to help us manage and keep track of our projects and of the people involved in them. Most of these people are not computer-savvy, so that application should be easy to master by the end user. It should also have the following characteristics: - fast to implement; - very modular and incremental: some things should be implemented quickly, while more sophisticated tools could be implemented later. - highly cost effective (we are a small business). I have been considering using Zope for this project, or perhaps Zope + MySql. Please let me know if you have any advice or suggestions as to what would be good for this kind of undertaking. Feel free also to let me know if I have to be more specific in my queries. Oscar Picasso
