- Zope 1.9b2 out
by Amos Latteier 11 Dec '98

11 Dec '98

The second beta is out! http://www.zope.org/Download/ The main new features of this release are the availability of binary releases and the availability of binary Apache distributions which are configured to work with Zope. For enquiring minds here's the change log: Zope 1.9 beta 2 In addition to various documentation updates, this release includes: New Features - Changed serve.py to accept ZopeHTTPServer command-line options. - Added a -P option to the ZopeHTTPServer to specify a file to contain the process ID. This allows a script to stop the process on Unix. - Added support for the environment variables, Z_REALM and Z_DEBUG_MODE to set an authentication realm and to enable debug mode. Bugs fixed - External methods were broken due to differences in Python 1.4 and Python 1.5 comparison semantics. - ZopeHTTPServer command-line environment settings were not available in os.environ. - Some class references were wrong in examples in the ExtensionClass documentation. - INSTANCE_HOME was not set correctly when the debugger was run with a relative path to the published module. - The #! line in the ZopeHTTPServer was hidden by the copyright statement and didn't have the right path. - A bug in pcgi_publisher.py caused file uploads larger than 1 MB to fail. Keep those bug reports and patches coming in. Have fun! -Amos

- Migration(Apache/PHP/Mysql) to Zope
by Ronald Offerman 11 Dec '98

11 Dec '98

Does anybody know if is possible to import a current working website (which uses PHP and MySQL heavily) into Zope and for the moment use Zope as a site management tool while we migrate the site to 'Zope-native'? I guess giving Apache the 'right' content-type (application/x-httpd-php3) or returning a .phtml could do the trick? -- <- Ronald Offerman | ron(a)gjt-it.nl <- Root Powered Carrot Munchers Ltd. Inc.

- Mailman problems fixed (I hope)
by Amos Latteier 11 Dec '98

11 Dec '98

Hi folks: I believe that I have resolved the mailman problems that were keeping people from setting their mailing list options. Many people wanted to turn on digest mode, but were unable to do so. Thank you Ken Manheimer who sent me a mailman patch. If anyone is still having list related problems, please let me know. Thanks for your patience, especially considering the volume this list has been generating. I can definitely understand wanting to turn on digest mode ;-) -Amos P.S. Contrary to what you may have heard, you cannot change your subscription information over the web.

- Project I'd like to try. Suggestions?
by Tim Gilbert 11 Dec '98

11 Dec '98

Hi, all. I've been a longtime Bobo user and list lurker, and am just getting my toes into the deep Zope waters. I've come up with an idea to get myself started at playing with code, and I'd like to get a little feedback about how to go about it before I plunge in. I'd like to design a roll-over button class, where you would have, say, two images and a method that spits out some HTML and Javascript to do a rollover sequence. At first I'd be happy to get just the objects to appear on the web, maybe with a method to upload data, and then turn them into full-blown Products (which I take to mean that they'll be web-editable). I'll gladly donate this code to the Zope effort if it works out nicely. Does anybody have any pointers, suggestions, et al before I try to get started? I am at Zope Zen 0.1 at this point and am still awaiting the lightbulbs (although I know they're there somewhere)... Is this even the right kind of idea for Zope, or am I still stuck in the ways of Bobo? Thanks... -- Tim -- Tim Gilbert -:- Tonic Corp -:- tim(a)tonic.to
