Declaring a date property
by HCSCCS＠prudential.com.my 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

Did you guys encounter problems in definining a date property in Zope? I did. I tried putting many different date formats as the default value but it still failed. For instance, 1973/2/2, 3,3,1998, Aug 7, 1998, ..etc. So what's the proper date format that I need to key in?? Thanks.

RE: [Zope] Can't add MailHost

I think the answer is to change the ACTION of addMailHost_form.dtml to just 'add'. I reported this problem to the collector. cheers Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: jhauser(a)ifm.uni-kiel.de [mailto:jhauser@ifm.uni-kiel.de] > Sent: 11 August 1999 10:06 > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Can't add MailHost > > > I want to add a MailHost instance to a folder, but get an error > message.

What I'm trying to say is that I think there would be a need for a closer intergration of mail and web and zope is a perfect candidate. At the moment email processing is not a cross platform buisness. Procmail I think can do smart things with email on unix. On NT you might have to write some scripts into the bowels of an exchange server. In either case you might want to access the same kinds of user info or other databases to process the mail. Wouldn't it be nice if you can just email a web page and get a response. Wouldn't it be nice if this was enabled by simply installing a Zope product. My point is that I don't want to be screwing with .forward files and procmail etc. I want to specify that email to this address gets sent to this zope object. In its simplest form you could have a mapping to a whole site such that sending a mail to Download/Contrib(a)zope.org gets me that page sent back to me. > > This object gets rendered and sent back. > > To send something back is easy - just use MailHost. > > > Zope could support smtp or it could use pop polling. > > Supporting SMTP directly is probably a bad idea for current (1.10.x) > unthreaded servers as mail could be arraiving real slow. > The technique described above is the equivalent of using apache with > (p)cgi. > > > Using it as a list server it would probably inefficient but for > > processing email forms etc it would be very cool. > > With ZCatalog it would also make a nice searchable mail storage. > > ----- > Hannu >

RE: [Zope] Zope and Japanese (was [Zope] Confera FAQ?)

Hi. I've been using Zope on internal projects for a while now. The application requirements include running in Japanese and English depending on the user's browser or language preference setting. Brian mentions EUC and SJIS issues which I hadn't paid much attention to until it bit me when I went to implement a document filing system using PostgreSQL which apparently only handles EUC. I ended up having to set all of my pages character sets to EUC which is a major headache because our Oracle server uses SJIS (which can be set using NLS_LANG). I now have a whole bunch of content that I have to convert to EUC. My advice: follow Brian's advice. I would be very interested in patches and whatever. Also, it was discussed on the list a while back but I haven't heard anything since. Has anyone done anything for multilingual sites? I've been thinking a lot about some sort of system for automatic content selection based on language but have yet to come up with anything coherent. What I am using now is DTML Documents with DTML that looks up appropriate strings stored in the properties as lists. It feels like a kludge but I think that's just because the usage is reverse that of normal--main content goes in the properties with only a lookup script in the Document. It works well because a most of the content is generated from databases that have multilingual content. It also presents a nice way to manage the strings and assures that all of my buttons, captions, etc. all use the same wording. It only works for one-line strings but I figure that larger blocks of pure content are better stored in their own DTMLDocuments anyway. BTW. I had to add 'jst':'Japan' to _zmap in DateTime.py to get date things to work. I think you can check this by: $ python Python 1.5.1 (#1, Sep 3 1998, 22:51:17) [GCC 2.7.2.3] on linux-i386 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam >>> import time >>> time.tzname[0] 'JST' >>> -John (cronic lurkaholic) > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Hooper [SMTP:brian@garage.co.jp] > Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 1999 12:36 PM > To: Itai Tavor > Cc: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope and Japanese (was [Zope] Confera FAQ?) > > Hi Itai! > > This is Brian Hooper at Digital Garage.

Zope-mail gateway
by Jay, Dylan 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

Zope acts as a publishing medium between documents that can be rendered on the server side and clients. So far there is http, ftp, webdav etc as protocols for this interaction. How about mail? I send a mail. It gets mapped to a zope object somehow. This object gets rendered and sent back. Zope could support smtp or it could use pop polling. Using it as a list server it would probably inefficient but for processing email forms etc it would be very cool.

The imap adapter makes mail available to zope. It becomes a sort of data source. It can also be used as a authentication source. It doesn't to my knowledge allow actions based on new mail arriving. > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Baron [mailto:chris@ninedots.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 1999 14:20 > To: Jay, Dylan > Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope-mail gateway > > > Hi Jay, > > I'm not an expert but I think IMAP is the way to do what you > want.
