Hi all, Just trying out the ZClass stuff. I've created a product 'Question' with one property 'Description', which is creatable and all works well. However when using manage_changeProperties to make changes through a form, the changes don't ever get saved, :(. Any ideas? TIA Phil phil(a)philh.org

where's the latest MySQL adaptor?
by Tony McDonald 10 May '99

10 May '99

Hi all, The main site says that along with Zope 1.11 there is a new MySQL adaptor available. The one at http://www.zope.org/Download/ZMySQLDA is the following; ZMySQLDA-1.1.3-nonbin.tar.gz 31,641 bytes 1999/01/25 which I'm pretty sure is the original adaptor. Anyone know where this new adaptor is? I'm hoping it might cure some MySQL timeouts we're getting...

Bug or my fault?
by Tom Deprez 10 May '99

10 May '99

Hi, I'm using Zope1.11, Medusa, and IE4.0 for testing purpose I was working with structured text and I've stumbled onto two strange thingies : 1. Solved at ZDP! But this 2nd made it very difficult to find the problem! ---------- Another strange? behavior : If I have added a DTML document with struct. text. View it -> Go back -> change it -> view it again, the text shown is the old text (even if I refresh my page). BUT! If change my DTML-document which calls the struct text (see above), like this : assume I've changed page with id fifth :  (So I change it to view page first) then change it back to  (To view page fifth) Then I do get my correct page (changed page) after refreshing it... huh??? Why do I've to change one page, to see the changes of another page??? Tom.

RE: [Zope] Zope 1.11 timeouts with IE 5.0

That's true -- I'm using ZServer now and so far it's been behaving well. There's no particular reason to use the ZopeHTTPServer, anyway.

Zope with MSSQL under Linux?
by Alexander Staubo 10 May '99

10 May '99

Has anybody used Zope with MS SQL Server under Linux? I was hoping that perhaps the ZSybaseDA thing would work (MSSQL, being based on Sybase, is generally compatible on protocol level), but it requires an OpenLink ODBC driver, which as far as I know is a commercial product. Could the ODBC DA theoretically support ODBC drivers under Linux? There are several open-source ODBC projects underway (such as unixODBC), albeit none -- that I know -- with MSSQL support. ODBC is not as widely supported on UNIX as on Windows, and the idea that you actually have to go buy an ODBC driver for your database product is ridiculous at best. Oracle only provides ODBC drivers for Windows, for example, which is just sad. So far I'm very happy with Zope and MSSQL/ODBC on Win32, but if installing Zope on a Linux box means I must be content with using MySQL or mSQL, or buying several pieces of commercial software, I'm not doing it.

zope: accessing zsql methods from external methods (1.10.2 and 1.11pr1)
by Dr. Ross Lazarus 10 May '99

10 May '99

I'm stumped. I need a simple example of how to get an external python method to grok a working zsql query. I have a zsql query which works fine, called showcont, returning the entire contents of a small table. I have a simple external method based on the hint on page 11 of the zsql methods user's guide which implies that an external method should get something useful back from showcont() - I've stripped it to the basics so I expect to get some horrible but familiar text back without adding any python complications - I just want this to work !!! ===========testzsql.py in Extensions directory # testing external methods def test(self): s = '' for cont in showcont(): for contitem in cont: s = s + contitem + '<BR>' return s ========= The external method is loaded into the same folder as the zsql method and function test is called as testzsql. I put a  into a dtml method and get...tracebacks. Basically, they all point to the fourth line - the showcont() call seems to break. This doesn't seem to work for 1.10.2 or 1.11pr1 - both running under nt4/sp4 using the simple server. At least I get better error messages from the fixed externalmethods in 1.11...

Re: [Zope] Why doesn't this work?
by Craig Allen 09 May '99

09 May '99

Thanks for the tip, I'll do that. Do you know of any zopish way to render the URL of the top level directory (without knowing where you are in the folder hierarchy)? This would be more elegant as a generic solution. The plus side of not using the absolute URL is that I could have a local version of 'folderimg' if I wanted, without having a local version of the method.
