Zope 1.11.0pr11 new folder properties - selection
by Dr. Ross Lazarus 07 May '99

Anyone figured out how to use the 2 intriguing new kinds of properties on the dropdown list of choices available from the "add" section of the "properties" tab menu of folders in 1.11.0pr11 ? In particular, what's the syntax for the value of a selection or a multiple selection ? I can put things like prestuffed dictionaries in like {a:1,b:2,c:3,d:4} for a multiple selection ("selection" seems to be broken) but when I display using just a  I just get a string - I'd hoped it might have been rendered as a picklist ?

Installation and tutorial problems
by Graham Chiu 07 May '99

07 May '99

I've just downloaded zope, but seem unable to get it going with my currently installed web server - Jigsaw from www.w3c.org However, when I try to run it, http://localhost:8001/zope/zope1.11.0pr1.exe/ I get the following error: CGI script emited invalid status. I can run it using the packaged python web server. In the tutorial, when I try to add the date property to the main folder of the demo site, I get the following error: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. exceptions.KeyError Sorry, a Zope error occurred. It accepts it as a string property. ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz

RE: [Zope] Could we migrate Zope email to a news group?

In response to Ken indicating that he is leaning toward opening zope(a)zope.org, with an email/news coupling, when he gets time after the linux expo ... sounds good to me - thanks. |> I haven't looked at the news hierarchies recently, so i'm not sure |> offhand where zope would best fit. comp.infosystems? Suggestions? I had a few suggestions in my message that started this thread. My favorite is: comp.infosystems.www.servers.zope But I'm no wizard in such matters, so don't put much weight in this suggestion. |> My only recent experience with usenet news is comp.lang.python - and |> though i can't regularly keep up with it, i don't find much to be off |> topic. Yes - the python news group is the primary example in my mind that motivated my suggestion. I think that it is _important_ that Zope appear in the same sorts of media as other such software. Zope is growing up, and its time we had a booth at the county fair (usenet). ======================================================================= I won't rest till it's the best ...

ZServer: unhandled exception killing ZPublisher?
by Anthony Baxter 07 May '99

07 May '99

I've got a Zope system running with ZServer 1.0b1 on a Linux 2.0.36 system. Periodically, one of the test users here has managed to trigger a bug (I'm not sure what, or how). When they do, it seems to kill one of the ZServer threads, so that the system is still running, still accepting connections, but just hangs. I thought I saw something like this recently, but I can't see it in my mail archive. Looking at the diffs between what I'm running and the current CVS tree, I see that ZServer/HTTPResponse.py has @@ -232,7 +237,7 @@ def close(self): self._channel.push(LoggingProducer(self._request, self._bytes), 0) + self._channel.push(CallbackProducer(self._channel.done), 0) - self._channel.push(CallbackProducer(self._channel.done)) if self._shutdown: self._channel.push(ShutdownProducer(), 0) elif self._close: is this the correct fix? Should I be wrapping the various ZServer threads in a try/except pair to restart them in case of a thread failing? thanks in advance Anthony Unhandled exception in thread: Traceback (innermost last): File "./PubCore/ZServerPublisher.py", line 97, in __init__ response._finish() File "/opt/zope/inst/ZServer/HTTPResponse.py", line 209, in _finish self.stdout.close() File "/opt/zope/inst/ZServer/HTTPResponse.py", line 235, in close self._channel.push(CallbackProducer(self._channel.done)) File "./HTTPServer.py", line 307, in push if send: self.initiate_send() File "./medusa/asynchat.py", line 199, in initiate_send self.refill_buffer() File "./medusa/asynchat.py", line 191, in refill_buffer self.producer_fifo.pop() File "./medusa/asynchat.py", line 253, in pop result = self.list[0] IndexError: list index out of range

Please, don't gate this mailinglist to a official newsgroup (comp.*). This mailinglist has much traffic, we don't need more noise. Please, setup your own nntpd :-) -- I'm busily ignoring some thousand of implications I have determined to be irrelevant.

#tree tag problem
by tsarna＠endicor.com 06 May '99

06 May '99

I have a DTML Method "test" at .../foo/test. It contains a tree tag. Clicking on the icons to expand or contract the tree, I end up at .../foo/test/test?tree-c=.... This is OK, though it only works by accident of acquisition, but if I rename test to index_html, it doesn't work (.../foo/index_html/index_html?... ends up trying to get a docstring on None, for some reason). Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

The problem with this is that I believe I've seen non-usenet newsgroups on dejanews.. netscape.*, microsoft.* etc. For the record I too am in favor of usenet or single-server newsgroups bi-gatewayed with the mail lists (+ tri-gatewayed with a web interface!) a la python, ultimately. Setup & maintenance effort aside, no-one should lose by this arrangement, & choice is maximized.
