(http://starship.python.net/crew/amk/zope/) People who attended the recent DCPIGgies meeting heard me talk about it, but its current state hasn't been mentioned on any mailing lists. Briefly, I've found that it's easier for me to just write generic Python code to manage an ODP database, and then put a Zope wrapper on top of this code to display it, make it ZCatalog-aware, etc. The code must be able to modify the database, so you could re-implement www.dmoz.org's editorial system, or do clever things like track how many people follow each link. I'm hoping to spend some hacking time on the ODP code this weekend. -- A.M.

(_ZClass_for_CatalogAware should be second in the list of Base classes). I think the reason they asked in the first place is that it is easy to select "Object Manager" and then select "CatalogAware", which is a combination that doesn't work. So you're fine on this part...

Total Newbie question

Hello, I would appreciate if someone could help me get started. I just started playing with 2.0 on Solaris. I am testing the example from the Trinkets tutorial and I can't seem to get it working. Here is what I have done: 1. Created a file called trinket.py and added it to a Folder called "/Tutorials" using the DTML method. The id I used is "Trinkets". I can see the file and edit it fine. The name of the class is Trinket and there is only one method (other than __init__) called download. This method (re)defines the index_html method. 2. Created the associated .dtml file and added it as a DTML Document. 3. I try to access this method as http:localhost/Tutorials/Trinkets/download. I get an error message: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Debugging Notice Zope has encountered a problem publishing your object. Cannot locate object at: http://localhost/Tutorials/Trinkets/Trinket/download. I even tried to access just the /Tutorials/Trinkets, but I get the same error message. Thanks for your help. PS: BTW, is there a doc that tells where and how to add an ExternalMethod? Is what I am doing here considered an ExternalMethod or Extension? If so, what is the path for Extension? -- --mpm. --- -oOo- Madhu P. Muchalambkar Alcatel USA, Inc. madhu(a)adn.alcatel.com --- -oOo-

Actually, Brian Hooper kindly contributed some patches (that didn't apply, but... oh well :-) that fix this, and create the log format in Common Long Combined format (Analog has no problems handling it)... this should resolve the issue for most people until we can come up with a more flexible solution.

Zope demonstration to UK Higher Education Establishments.
by Phil Harris 10 Sep '99

10 Sep '99

Hi all, Just a note to thank all of you. This week Tony McDonald, Paul Browning and myself (all list members and ardent Zope users) attended the 3rd annual Institutional Web Management Conference in the UK. We ran a small workshop and also exhibited some stuff that we have done between us, I also knocked up a small Zope portal site for the users to try in the workshop. I have to say the response was nothing short of remarkable, suffice to say that the Higher Education Sector in the Uk will probably have a lot more Zope users shortly. My thanks are for the help in creating my zGold portal, and also for Zope. Thanks all Phil phil(a)philh.org ~~~~~~~~~~

ZServer log format
by Itai Tavor 10 Sep '99

10 Sep '99

Hi, I want to ditch Apache and use ZServer directly... but I got Apache to write HTTP_AGENT and HTTP_REFERER to the access log file, which medusa doesn't do. I couldn't find a way to customize the logs in medusa in the docs and after a quick look through the code. Is it possible? Or can anyone point me to the place in the code to add a patch?
