E-Commerce

If I'm really lucky, I might be getting a contract to put together a rather large site which includes selling the client's product over the web. They'll want to be doing credit card transactions. Has anyone been working on a shopping cart app for Zope, or perhaps even utilities to interact with a credit card transaction service? It's much quicker to buy than write!

DTML Methods
by Shaw, Howard 30 Mar '99

30 Mar '99

Using Netscape 3.04, I can't edit the text in DTML Methods. I get the textbox, and I can place my cursor where I choose, and scroll through it, but I can't type in it, I can't paste into it. I can copy the whole contents, make a DTML Document, paste it in, and edit there! Any idea what's going on? When I access it from Netscape 4.07 on Linux it works fine... Howard C.

Frustrating
by Tom Deprez 30 Mar '99

30 Mar '99

Hi, I'm getting really frustrating on this subject. Pff, I believe the Zope-people have made already a great effort in their documentation. So I guess my problem is my own bad english. shhg. I finally got the Postgressql adapter compiled, thanks to two great people! Thanks for this already. But now I'm confused? How to use it in Zope? When I go to the product management I see the all the installed products including : ZPyGreSQLDA (broken product APyGreSQL).... I guess here is already something wrong (broken... is not a positive word :-( ) But then, how can I work with it? How can I use it in Zope...? How can I add it to the 'Add list' . I read of a connection string... but where to place it? Sggh, I've read in the manuals, Q&A, ... but I still don't get how to use it.... Please, somebody, help...! Thanks in advance, The Idiot, Tom.

Browse the Zope CVS through the web
by Michel Pelletier 29 Mar '99

29 Mar '99

Greetings, As promised, it is possible now to browse the Zope public CVS repository through the web. If you're interested in looking at the latest Zope developments, this is a good place to start without having the check out your own copy. This site is also handy for viewing the various evolutions of Zope, and for getting pretty colored diffs between versions. If you want to know the difference between two recent versions of a certain file, cvsweb will show you in glaring full color. The web view of the Zope CVS is more fragmentary the the view you get with the 'cvs' command. If you want to check Zope out of the public cvs, it is recommended you just check out 'Zope', which is an options not shown on the web cvs. The public CVS uses its module file to stitch together the various components that can be seen on the web view into a Zope distribution. Complete instructions on how to do this can be found at: http://www.zope.org/Community/CVS_public_access The web interface can be found at: http://www.zope.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi In case you're curious, this is not a Zope module but a CGI script written in Perl. It can be found at: http://linux.fh-heilbronn.de/~zeller/cgi/cvsweb.cgi -Michel

I haven't tried it yet with other publishing mechanisms (ZServer, ZopeHTTPServer, which don't use PCGI), but if these servers also dies for such oddities, this might be a bug in error handling. Stay tuned for more informations. Many thanks to Brian and Jeff who took the time to respond to me. Regards, Jephte CLAIN Service Informatique CHSR

I'm not sure how changing DTML document objects could cause this, though. You didn't happen to change any DTML that is read from the disk (e.g., HTMLFile objects used from Zope, installed products or external methods) did you? If so, there is probably a dtml syntax error that is being raised at startup time. Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
