RE: [Zope] sql INSERT during query
by Jay, Dylan 14 Apr '99

14 Apr '99

I think the problem lay in the fact that I was trying to do another query inside an "in" tag or the equivalent. Reading between lines of the SQL Database users guide I believe it says this can't be done. I quote "It is often neccessary to execute more than one SQL statement in a single HTTP REQUEST. SQL database Methods define a variable sql_delimiter that can be used to divide individual SQL statements." I am currently trying to use a single sql method that does everything I wanted. On a related note, how do I include the text of an sql method inside another sql method? > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Page [mailto:rob.page@digicool.com] > Sent: Wednesday, 14 April 1999 10:26 > To: 'Jay, Dylan' > Subject: RE: [Zope] sql INSERT during query > > > > > > Yes that is what I meant.

Zope with Apache on NT
by Rob Page 13 Apr '99

13 Apr '99

Has anyone gotten Zope 1.10.2 to work with the windows version of Apache (1.3.6)? I've checked, double-checked and triple-checked the notorious rewrite rule: <httpd.conf snippet> LoadModule rewrite_module modules/ApacheModuleRewrite.dll # # RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/Zope/(.*) /PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/cgi-bin/Zope1-10-2.exe/$1 [last,e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] </httpd.conf snippet> so on: http://localhost/Zope/manage or http://localhost/Zope/anything-else-for-that-matter I just get Error 403 Forbidden messages. waaaaahhh... it's late and I'm getting cranky... snivel... :^) --Rob -- Rob Page V: 540 371 6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

Not if you think it goes in your Python directory, as opposed to Zope's Python directory. I'll move it and see what shakes loose. You might want to amend the installations to say to start by untarring in the Zope directory, not the Python directory...

What do you mean by 'use javascript'? You can put javascript in } your DTML that will get sent to the browser, you can even use DTML to } dynamicly generate javascript. Do you mean use it internally to control } the server or to be like DTML? Here's something near and dear to my heart at the moment. I'm building a web site using stock HTML, DTML, Zope, Python, and JavaScript (dynamically generated via DTML). I would really love to reduce the number of languages I'm dealing with by doing the JavaScript script stuff directly in Zope/Python. I don't have the first clue as to how to do this, if it's even possible. The main thing I use the JavaScript for is updating existing images on screen by changing document.images[imagename].src after preloading a bunch of images. The other is opening up a status or message window when the user clicks on a button. These things can be done, of course, by using standard form techniques and loading new pages, but I really like the ability to quickly update an image on screen from another image stored in a JavaScript Image object saved in cache. I keep thinking there must be a better, more Zopeish, way to do this, but I haven't stumbled across it yet. Here's a far out thought: how about some way to access the browser DOM from DTML or Python? I understand that the DOM and JavaScript live in the client, rather than the host where Zope/Python is running. Perhaps there could be some kind of DTML extension that would "auto-generate" JavaScript (some equivalent) in the document? E.g. (ignore any syntax errors or issues):    <img src= name="myimage" onCLick=">render image 1 </img> Then lets say that "imageswap" is a DTML method that does something like this:        </script> Why would one want do this this, you ask? For one, if a person didn't know JS, they could still use some of the JS capabilities without having to learn JS. Anyway, just one wild idea for an integration/cooperation of Zope and JS. -Bill Randle Central Oregon Internet billr(a)coinet.com

See http://www.zope.org/Download/Contrib . (It could be easier to find, and better exploit zope's power, etc, etc - we're working on the bigger problem, which should help address this one...)

Which is a preconfigured Apache for Zope. Zope is not a webserver, so to be compatible with all of them we can't make any assumptions about the web service. Something I don't understand in your question is 'background process', in contrast to what? What are you thinking is the 'foreground process'? I think you might be have some OS specific issues in mind. > 2) have a feature rich install that has all the messaging, ftp, etc. the FTP ability comes with Zope, it just requires a publisher to publish it, and ZServer is currently the only publisher that works with Zope. You could presumably hack any FTP server to work with Zope, however I don't know how useful or easy it would be. What is 'messaging'? > packages pre-installed so users can just run it > 3) an easier way to install new packages - like just clicking > "install" This is a definite OS assumption. If I'm installing Zope on a remote high powered linux machine, what need is there of a window system? Or a mouse? The current command line install for Zope is quite easy, if your using a source release: python wo_pcgi.py then ./start Will get you a working system in a few minutes. Now *I'm* making an OS assumption that a command line is used, so you can see where these things get hairy: when cross platform support is a goal not much realistic effort can be put into a slick installer. > 4) Port Zope to mac!! Aye. This is harder than it sounds. Not being a Mac person or having developed on Mac I may hand waving, but from what has been discussed previously on the list there are lots of issues here about compiling the extension modules for Mac, and for ensuring that the python environment is sane for Zope. If you have the development tools give it a try, we'd love a Mac port. Unfortunately we can't put any effort (read: money) into it because there is little demand for it for the amount of work we would need to do to make a binary. > 5) Improve the admin interface with useful functions like "export site > to HTML" This can be done with external tools such as wget. We'd prefer to keep that particular function in an external tool. However, we are kicking around a new, slicker management interface (for example, you can click multiple objects and then click rename and rename them all, currently it will only let you rename the first even if you selected multiple objects). > 6) implement XML-RPC between two zope servers The framework for this will probably appear in 2.0, maybe 1.11. I think Jim was working on this sometime in the last month or so. > 7) implement a mailing list from within Zope Ah! Yes Ken has done some simple attempts at putting mailman into Zope, and we are also working on using IMAPAdapter to make an egroups like (except it will actualy work most of the time) interface to our mailing lists. This will be part of the Linux Expo site rework. > > 8) Product requests: > a)web-board Confera.

Sans images of course. Hmm... I'm not sure if I know what your getting at here, but Jim has written a little tool to export your .bbb file as XML, images and all. It can be found in the CVS under ZUtil. > > Questions > 1) When will the next version of Zope be released? Don't quote me on this, but probably middle of May.

What do you mean by 'use javascript'? You can put javascript in your DTML that will get sent to the browser, you can even use DTML to dynamicly generate javascript. Do you mean use it internally to control the server or to be like DTML?

MySQLDA Compile problem

I can't seem to make MySQLDA. I get the following: -------- gcc -fpic -g -O2 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/local/include/mysql -c ./MySQLmodule.c ./MySQLmodule.c: In function `pythonify_res_fields': ./MySQLmodule.c:456: `AUTO_INCREMENT_FLAG' undeclared (first use this function) ./MySQLmodule.c:456: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ./MySQLmodule.c:456: for each function it appears in.) make: *** [MySQLmodule.o] Error 1 -------- And yes, I did initially use -lm, instead of gcc. Any ideas? Much thanks, Chris LArson Changeling, Inc
