zope development projects
by Scott Lewis 14 May '99

14 May '99

hi folks, i started using zope about a month ago and now i'm hooked. i'm looking for a way to get involved in the zope community. i have several ideas for zope products and wondered if anyone else is working on something similar. this led me to take a step back and wish for a central location that would provide information about open zope development projects- open in the sense of projects coordinating the work of geographically disperse people and open to participation of others. is there already such a beast? if not, i'll start working on one. i envision a site that would have contact info, relatively recent status info, links to project websites, and perhaps discussion/recruiting for proposed projects. i welcome any input, -scott ----- Scott Lewis Baltic Avenue Productions csl(a)balticave.com

Hey - Anybody compiled this for use under NT/Win32? I sure could use a copy, but I haven't got the compiler here for it... Ross -- Ross J.

Properties in ZClasses???
by jhauser＠ifm.uni-kiel.de 14 May '99

14 May '99

I tried the example from Amos to generate a zclass and instances from it. I can generate the instance, but in can't get a handle to the properties. There is no Properties tab in the manage_workspace screen. I have seen the comment in the automatically generated CDClass_add DTML method. There is something like  Is Basic the same as cd_info? Where is the 'common' link? Surprisingly it functions for all other people on the list. Where should I look for errors? Thanks in advance __Janko

quoting id values
by Ross J. Reedstrom 14 May '99

14 May '99

Hey Zopists: I'm making a little tiny File Upload/Exchange site with Zope, and I've run into a liitle problem. I'd like to keep track of who uploads what, so I'm trying to set a property on each file equivalent to the AUTHENTICATED_USER. So, stealing from the 'Creating Folders' example, I've got this code:  <H4>Sorry! That name exists, try again</H4>    <H3>File Added</H3>  This works fine for adding files, but the manage_addProperty call bombs out if the 'id' has a dot in it. The manage_addFile method handles that fine - apparently it quotes the id sufficently, since it gets added if I comment out the addProperty part. If I set an id that does not contain a dot, everthing works. Any ideas? Ross -- Ross J.

ZPublisher Client
by Jordan B. Baker 14 May '99

14 May '99

Hi: I'm working with the ZPublisher/Client.py trying to develop an interface to dump some info. coming out of various scripts running on my system into documents in the POS. I'm trying the following: $ python Client.py -usuperuser:123 http://dev:9673/manage_addFile id=foobar3 file:file=/usr/people/jbb/test.html The problem is that it hangs at this point. I hit C-c and I get the following: Traceback (innermost last): File "Client.py", line 643, in ? main() File "Client.py", line 634, in main headers, body = apply(f,(),kw) File "Client.py", line 181, in __call__ if hasattr(v,'read'): return self._mp_call(kw) File "Client.py", line 295, in _mp_call response=reply.read() KeyboardInterrupt If I try the operation again it says the id is in use and exits normally. After I aborted this I went into the interface and saw that my file had been created and the contents were uploaded successfully. Any ideas about what is going on here? -jordan.

RE: [Zope] pcgi on Solaris 2.6
by Scherer, Bill 14 May '99

Jeff - Thanks for the help. I had fogotten about pcgifile.py. Testing with it did point out some problems: Python couldn't find cgi_module_publisher or CGIResponse. So I fixed things up till pcgifile.py said it all looked OK. Still no luck. I was getting the same error. The error log said nothing more: interuppted system call (102) Failure during connect. I was thinking maybe the user Nobody was having a problem creating the files in /tmp. It could create the err log, but nothing else. So I changed the pcgi info file to move things around and put the three files (err, pid, and socket) in a different place. No help. Same error. Then I thought, well maybe if I create the files and make them world read/writeable, that might help. It didn't of course, but it did change the error message: Interrupted system call (115) connection refused. I can import the module to be published. The pcgiinfo file checks out, I'm lost here; I know this should work, and I've not had any problems doing this on Linux. I just don't seem to have enough info to track down the problem.

Getting a navigational guide (tree) to persist?
by Albert Kinderman 14 May '99

14 May '99

I am a new user of zope (this is my 4th day). I am building a web-site for the faculty governance structure of my university. I have an overall top folder, faculty governance, three sub folders, senate, executive committee, and standing committees (which contains 10 committee folders). Each folder (senate, exec comm, and the 10 standing committees) contains subfolders for agendas, minutes, and membership. Each folder contains an index_html that refers to the standard_html_header. The standard_html_header is in the top folder and is set up as a table with the first column a sidebar, standard_choices, consisting of <p>Navigational Guide </p> <A HREF= "   ">Faculty Governance</A>  <A HREF=""></A>  What baffles me is that if I navigate from the constructed tree in the sidebar (using the + marks to open the tree to display the subfolder of interest) and make a selection by clicking on a subfolder, the opened tree sometimes collapses back to a closed tree with just the three top level choices showing and sometimes stays open, showing everything that was displayed before I clicked on the subfolder. I would like the tree to remain in the state that exists at the time a user clicks on a particular folder. thanks for your help.

Manage screen
by Tom Deprez 14 May '99

14 May '99

Hi, just to let you know about this little 'layout-bug' Go to properties sheet. Add a property : ---> the page shows the properties screen, but the Edit-tab is highlighted, not the Properties tab. Seen this in properties for ZClasses, don't know if this is also the case for dtml, folder properties Tom.

namespaces
by kent＠tiamat.goathill.org 14 May '99

14 May '99

In the following example, "columns" is a method that returns the list of columns wrapped in a Results object. "col2" is the name of one of the columns. Line 3 and line 5 provide the correct answer. Line 6, however is looking at the columns namespace to render the results and there's no data there. 1:  2:  3:  4:  5:  6:  7:  8:  9:  1) Why are "_[colname]" and "_['count-'+colname]" given different namespaces? 2) how do I get "_['count-'+colname]" to have the table namespace instead of the columns namespace? Thanks

problem
by Philip Aylesworth 14 May '99

14 May '99

I am having a problem with a form that has check boxes on it. If several checkboxes are checked it works great. If only one is checked then it gives the following error: Traceback (innermost last): File lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 151, in __call__ (Object: editmanystatus.dtml) File lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 513, in __call__ (Object: editmanystatus.dtml) File lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py, line 628, in renderwob (Object: nums) InError: Strings are not allowed as input to the in tag. I can see that it is because instead of a list it now has a single string but I don't know how to handle this. Is there a way to force an object to be a list whether it is a list or a single string? Or, do I have to test for this as a special case? Right now I have:     where nums is a check box input from my form. Phil A
