I have MySQL database, and I want to upload my gif files into it through Zope, just like when creating Image component. How can I achieve this? -- Milos Prudek

Searching a Zope site (in the traditional way)
by Tony McDonald 15 Mar '99

15 Mar '99

How do you do this?, ie to get a list of files/objects that contain the search term, laid out in a way that the external user would recognise. I don't mean the 'find' tag in the manage screens, by the way...

File upload product anywhere?
by Tony McDonald 15 Mar '99

15 Mar '99

Hi all, Has anyone written a file upload 'product' that they'd like to share? My own requirements are that; the files should (optionally) go to a file system, I need to be able to change the interface for the system, the users should be authenticated from an external database, the files (if held in a file system) should retain their associations with folders (for permissions and access), and I'd like it in blueberry please. What I'm basically after is the best of both worlds - Zope permissions/acquisition etc. with the 'safety net' of a file system for large files (and possible batch uploading). My problem (or one of them) is that there's no way that I'm up to speed enough in Zope/Python to start on this...I have a system doing the file upload working well in PHP3, but that (obviously) doesn't have the permissions/acquisition power of Zope. I guess I could do redirects to my PHP3 scripts from within Zope however, but it's hardly (ahem) 'elegant'. any thoughts gratefully accepted.

mailing list archive download in bulk?
by Robert Wentworth 15 Mar '99

15 Mar '99

Is there any way of downloading large blocks of the Zope mailing list archive in bulk, rather than wading through one message at a time over the web (which is rather painful, especially since I haven't discovered how to get a listing of all the discussion threads so I can be more systematic)?

Help! How do I make the JobBoard example work?
by Justin Miller 15 Mar '99

15 Mar '99

Hi All, As an exercise, I'm trying to get the JobBoard example code given in http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Reference/ObjectPublishingIntro to work in Zope (as opposed to Bobo/ZPublisher), and am having some difficulty. Copying the PeeWee's playhouse example in http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Reference/ExternalMethods, I placed all the JobBoard files in zope/lib/python/shared/JobBoard, made an empty __init__.py file, fixed up the dtml_loc variable, and put a JobBoard_utils.py file into zope/extensions, which reads as follows: "utility to add JobBoard objects to folders" def addJobBoard(self,id): "Add a playhouse to the current folder" if not hasattr(self,id): setattr(self,id,JobBoard("Python Jobs")) return "JobBoard added with id %s" % id else: return "id %s already in use" % id Using Zope's management GUI, I successfully added the addJobBoard function as an external method, and have successfully called it to create a JobBoard object called testJobBoard. However, when I try to view the testJobBoard object, I get an error message that reads "Sorry, the requested document does not exist." The addJobBoard function was added as an external method to the root folder, so my understanding is that the testJobBoard object should also be accessible from within the root folder (that is that its URL is "localhost:9673/testJobBoard"). What am I doing wrong here? Also, what is the proper way to debug this sort of problem? The output of the zope process merely mentions a GET request for the given URL, and the 404 response code -- no further detail is given. Thanks in advance for the help! -Justin http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Reference/ProductTutorial.tar.gz

MySQL & integer IDs
by Tom Jenkins 14 Mar '99

14 Mar '99

Hello all, First let me start by saying I've finally cleared time to play with zope. Its coming along nicely but I've hit a snag. The following snippet in a form: <TR><TD ALIGN="RIGHT">Staff</TD><TD><SELECT NAME="bugs_tbl.staff">  <OPTION VALUE="">  </SELECT></TD></TR> using MySQL produces the following HTML: <TR><TD ALIGN="RIGHT">Staff</TD><TD><SELECT NAME="bugs_tbl.staff"> <OPTION VALUE="2L">Alan Johnston <OPTION VALUE="1L">Tom Jenkins </SELECT></TD></TR> Now unfortunately I believe the L is causing the insert to fail with an invalid integer. I specified user_id as integer unsigned zerofill auto_increment. Does anyone know why the 'L' is being return?
