Acquisition with External Methods
by Chad McDaniel 07 Apr '99

07 Apr '99

I'm having some trouble with calling External Methods from DTML documents. I have DTML document "Query" that defines a form with action "View". "View" is also a DTML document containing a call to an External Method:  Ext Method would like to get access to the form values passed to View, but I can't figure out how to do it. There doesn't seem to be a way for ExtMethod to acquire the values and I can't pass them as arguments. any advice? thanks -- -chad

You need to copy the file zope12_cgi.exe to your cgi-bin directory, then rename it to zope12.exe.

The zope web server doesn't currently run as an NT service - it is really meant as a way for folks to try out Zope quickly and get it up and running without having to fiddle with their production web servers. Though it is quite stable, the built-in server intentionally does not support all the features people would expect from a production server - most folks use the built-in server to quickly get a feel for Zope, then integrate it with their current server once they've decided to use it. That said, a single Zope instance can be run using _either_ the built-in server or your server, but not both simultaneously. Hope this helps!

Puzzled by BoboPOS
by Jan Decaluwe 07 Apr '99

07 Apr '99

Hi: I recently took a closer look at BoboPOS operation, and I am puzzled: a pack operation doesn't seem to remove obsolete instances (even though it compresses the db significantly.) My applications work as expected, but the db size increases unnecessarily over time. Below is a simple application I use to test this. I would expect that, after a pack, only 1 Timestamp instance would be in the db, as only 1 can be reached from the root object at any time. Instead, I noticed that obsolete Timestamp instances are still present. Can someone tell me why? Platform: Sun Solaris >>> import os, sys path = os.path lib, tail = path.split(__file__) import DocumentTemplate import BoboPOS import time datadir = path.join(lib, 'var', 'Data') class Container(BoboPOS.Persistent): """ Container """ def __init__(self): """ init """ self._timestamp = None def index_html(self): """ default method """ if self._timestamp is not None: return self._timestamp._time return 'No timestamp' def pack(self): """ pack database """ db._jar.db.pack(None, 0) return 'pack OK' def clear(self): """ clear """ self._timestamp = None return self.index_html() def stamp(self): """ stamp """ self._timestamp = Timestamp() return self.index_html() class Timestamp(BoboPOS.Persistent): """ Item """ def __init__(self): """ init """ self._time = time.ctime(time.time()) db = BoboPOS.PickleDictionary(path.join(datadir, 'tsdb')) if db.has_key('Container'): bobo_application = db['Container'] else: bobo_application = db['Container'] = Container() get_transaction().commit() <<< -- =================================================================== Jan Decaluwe === Easics === Design Manager === VHDL-based ASIC design services === Tel: +32-16-395 600 =================================== Fax: +32-16-395 619 Interleuvenlaan 86, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM mailto:jand@easics.be http://www.easics.com

Announcement: Zope Adabas Adaptor under construction
by Thomas Riedl 07 Apr '99

07 Apr '99

Hi Zopeiacs! To avoid double trouble, I'm announcing herewith that I'm building an Adabas (http://www.sag.de -OR- http://www.softwareag.uk) database adaptor for Zope; no great stuff, to be honest: some minor changes to the ODBC adaptor plus some not-so-minor changes to the date&time handling; most of it has already been done, I'm currently cleaning things up. The 'final pre-alpha' thing will be available Really Soon Now(TM) at the Zope Database Adaptors' Page. If there's other work on the same topic being done right now, I'd like to hear from you... Lots of greetings! -- MfG: Thomas Riedl =========================================================================== triedl(a)linuxland.de, (+49 89) 99 34 12 - 11, http://www.linuxland.de Stefan-George-Ring 24, 81929 München

Re: Web Server configuration
by Emmanuel Dwamena 07 Apr '99

Dear sir, I have install zope 1.10.2-win32-x86 on Windows NT Server 4.0 with service pack 3. The installation was successful. But I cannot configure the existing webserver - IIS 3.0 - to work with the zope management screen. I understand that there are 3 ways to get the zope management screen up. Which are 1. To run the start.bat in the zope installation directory which opens a dos windows and runs a process in the background. This is the method I have been able to get working since installation a week ago. It seems to work fine. What I do is point the URL to http://localhost:9673/manage and it works. 2. Start the Zope web server through the Window NT services utility in the control panel. I can start and stop the Zope web server as NT service but the web browser does not load the management screen. This is what I did: I used Zope12 as the web site name in my installation. So I copied Zope12.exe from the Zope installation directory into C:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-bin which is the path used by IIS 3.0 on my NT machine. Then I start Zope web server via NT service. After that I started Netscape web browser. Then point the URL in the web browser to http://localhost:9889/cgi-bin/zope12.exe/manage and it does NOT work. I thought the Zope web server will find the zope manager in the cgi-bin directory. But No it failed. What is the suggested solution in this case? 3. Configure an existing web server which in my case is IIS 3.0 on NT 4.0. This is what I did: same as 2 above I copied Zope12.exe, which is the program generated for the web site name I used in the installation, from the Zope installation directory into C:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-bin which is the path used by IIS 3.0 on my NT machine. Then I pointed the URL to http://ntserver:9889/cgi-bin/manage and it also NEVER worked. "NTSERVER" is my Windows NT Server 4.0 computer name. What am I doing wrong? I could use the first option but I like to be able to use all the options so I can provide services to users and clients under any of the above situations. Also I like to know if, a) I can run more than one web server i.e IIS web server and the Zope web server as NT services at the same time? b) I can get the Zope management screen up using the IIS or Zope web server when the 2 web servers are running at the same time as NT services? Also in the Zope managers guide I am trying my hands on the Plutonia tutorial. When I added a document it added only DTML document and not html document as indicated in the manual. When I used the index_html as id for the document I got the error message "id already exist". How do I go around the error message or fix the duplication. Also I noticed that the management screen has one extra menu item Import which is not shown in the manual. Is there an update to the manual? I like to hear from you very soon. Regards Emmanuel
