ZWiki - MoinMoin markup
by Malthe Borch 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

Hello list, --- I'm trying to add a feature to ZWiki by patching moin_support.py, but it's not very obvious. I need some kind of line break feature, so this markup: * Line 1 <linebreak> Line 2 <linebreak> Line 3 becomes exactly what you'd think. This is for example useful for typing in addresses or other contact-information. It might be accomplished merely by allowing <br>-tags, but perhaps that's a little off key in the world of MoinMoin. And besides, it isn't obvious how to do that either ;) \malthe ---- mail: mborch(a)3avod.dk blog: www.3avod.dk/blog/ crypto-key: 3avod.dk/keys/mborch.asc --------------------------------------

Zwiki 0.40 released, news for 2005/03
by Simon Michael 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

*What is it* Zwiki is a Zope product for building wikis - a special kind of website that's easy for anyone to edit. See http://zwiki.org for more. *What's changed* Bugfixes, new japanese translation, chinese translation updates, new search option. See release notes below. *Zwiki news this month* We have been quiet but not idle. Bill Page and Martijn Pieters contributed fixes, T.C. Chou updated the chinese translations and Masaya Kato and a team of fellow translators contributed a japanese translation. Zettai.net made a donation, again, in support of Zwiki development and hosting. Thank you! Bug reporting rate has been low and steady; bug closing rate has been low. The next Zwiki Bug Day is.. today! april 1st being the first friday of the month. I wasn't ready but it's going on anyway as scheduled, help at http://zwiki.org/BugDay <http://zwiki.org/BugDay.> and #zwiki if you can. In the documentation department I am doing a little work on http://zwiki.org/NewAdministratorsGuide <http://zwiki.org/UsersGuide%29> each day. Discussion on the list, UserDiscussion page and irc channel has been light. We've had a few incidents of wiki spam this month, both intentional and otherwise. I switched zwiki.org to mail out all edits, to make this more visible; we list subscribers are adapting to the increased level of traffic and have discussed how to batch related edits into fewer mails. This month I resolved to focus on QA for 2005: /"Alright.. this may be difficult, but (deep breath): I resolve not to work on new Zwiki features in 2005. I may well accept them from others, but I won't do them myself. This is to focus (my) energy on refactoring, cleanup, polish, docs, and fixing "broken windows". More: / * /in case that was unclear, this is not Zwiki winding down; it's a quality push for 1.0. Feature work from others is welcome as ever./ * /tasks that are funded in some way will almost always jump to the head of the queue and become priority no. 1, as before."/ See http://zwiki.org/ZwikiRoadmap2005 for more. *Zopewiki news *Edits on zopewiki.org have been light; small ongoing improvements from a small number of people. Someone has started a http://zopewiki.org/PageTemplateStyleGuide . *Server news* The zwiki.org/zopewiki.org server basically ran all month without exceeding the 200M memory quota or restarting and performance has been reasonable. Those wikis currently have 2164 and 464 pages respectively. *About the Zwiki project* Zwiki was started in 1999 by Simon Michael and now receives improvements from many contributors. It is released under the GNU GPL. A new version is released on the first of the month. *Links* http://zwiki.org - Zwiki home, with all download, documentation & discussion links http://zwiki.org/ZwikiFunding - how to donate or sponsor a feature ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Release notes* Zwiki 0.40.0 2005/04/01 Summary Bugfixes, new japanese translation, chinese translation updates, new search option. Upgrade notes This fixes a high-profile known issue in 0.39, #1062. If you didn't already find the issue page and workaround, upgrade to this version to fix it. Changes Browsing * add a "thorough" non-catalog search to search form, commented out (for spam hunting) Editing * fix the keys attribute error when creating pages in plone (#1062) * deleting a top-level page redirects to the front page again; new upUrl method (#917, Martijn Pieters, SM) Issue tracking * no bogus property change. Some very aggressive search engines (spiders) seem to be following form action="xxxx" references in pages as well as the usual href links. As a result probes by such greedy theives can cause unexpected changes to wiki web pages. One such example recently has been the triggering of the Change button on the Issue pages. The script changeIssueProperties should be more careful not to record any change if the Change action is triggered with no actually changes. (Bill Page) General - i18n * new japanese translation (Masaya Kato, Manabu Terada, Yoshiki Shibukawa, Takayuki Shimizukawa, Junya Ogino, Takanori Suzuki) * chinese translation updates (T.C. Chou) * updated all po files from latest pot General - skins * the site_logo folder property didn't work in plone

HTTPSConnection Python 2.3.4
by Joshua Jacobson 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

On the same machine, my script works in python 2.3.4 outside of zope, but it doesn't work in python 2.3.4 within zope as an external script. There I get "sslerror: The read operation has timed out." Here's the script: import httplib, urllib Action = 'Create' CreateFunction = 'Create using Function' WLP = '123' WLPPW = '456' params = urllib.urlencode({'CreateFunction':CreateFunction, 'Action':Action, 'WLP':WLP, 'WLPPW':WLPPW, 'ClientLoginId':ClientLoginID, 'ClientPassword':'ClientPassword'}) headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Accept": "text/plain"} conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection("xxxxx.xxxx.com") conn.request("POST", "/ClientReg.asp", params, headers) response = conn.getresponse() data = response.read() print data conn.close() Why I am I getting different response from within Zope versus without? Thanks, Joshua

RE: [Zope] Folder Listing as a Plone Portlet Mini-HOWTO (draft)

I don't understand this. Would you point out the relevant documentation or source code? As it is, portlet_folder_contents is a hack and probably only suitable for small folders. In my case, I intended to use it to create a small box of links (no more than five or six), without having to go to the ZMI all the time to change the portlet's contents. Best wishes, Matthew

RE: [Zope] Dynamic Zope Style Sheets with HTML 4.01 Strict

I do exactly the same thing, except that I do it directly in the ZPT : <span tal:omit-tag="" tal:define="setcontentype python:here.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/css')"/> Pascal -----Message d'origine----- De : zope-bounces(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-bounces@zope.org]De la part de Andy Yates Envoyé : jeudi 31 mars 2005 21:53 À : zope(a)zope.org Objet : RE: [Zope] Dynamic Zope Style Sheets with HTML 4.01 Strict Thanks! I've never used dtml for style sheets. I've always used page templates and never had a problem 'til now. Also, I don't see a way to set the content type on a dtml doc or method. I assume it would be text/html and then I back in the same boat. To restate my problem, FireFox in HTML 4.01 Strict mode does not seem to accept a style sheet if the content type is text/html. It needs to see text/css. (Of course IE is fat dumb and happy) Everything worked fine until I added this doc string to my page: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> Unless somebody has some better magic this seems work. context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/css') return context.stylesheet() This way I can leave the content type on the page template text/html so Zope is happy and make FireFox happy by overriding the content type to text/css.

Dynamic Zope Style Sheets with HTML 4.01 Strict
by Andy Yates 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Good day everyone! I added a doc type string to one of my Zope pages because it needed to pass an HTML 4.01 Strict validator. When I did this FireFox seems to ignore the style sheet. My style sheet is dynamic so I used a page template and tal. If the Content Type on the style sheet is set to text/html FireFox will not load the style sheet. If I set the Content Type to text/css I get an error when I save the page. Compilation failed xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: syntax error: line 3, column 0 If I make my style sheet with a file and content type of text/cc instead of a page template FireFox loads the style sheet but the tal statements do not get rendered. So, how do I make a dynamic style sheet that has the correct (text/css) content type? Am I going to have to write a python script to call the style sheet page template and change the content type or is there a better way to handle this? Thanks! Andy
