zope, wap and nationalities
by Jaroslav Lukesh 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

Dear Sirs, Do you have somebody tip for encoding national characters into wap? For example, character in latin-2 interpreted as "č" need to be interpreted in utf8 for wml as "č" I dont discover any python simple way how to recode these characters into wml, like <dtml-var "_.str.some_convert('string with ěščřž characters', iso8859-2, utf8_for_wap)"> ...or I am blind? Many thanks, -- Jaroslav Lukesh ----------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail can not contain any viruses because I use Linux

Making a self written module available to Zope
by Hong Yaun 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

If I have a self-written module/package which contains some module level methods, how can I make it available for use in the rest of Zope (e.g. in page templates, python script objects etc.)? Because it is just some utility functions, like the zope built-in sequence module, I don't want to register them as a zope class with all the manage* methods and create zope object from that. And I want the module to be initialized once, upon the start of zope or refresh of product maybe, to read some configuration file on the file system. What's the simplest way to achieve this? Greetings, Hong Yuan

Plagued by UnicodeEncodeError and UnicodeDecodeError
by davelists2＠peoplemerge.com 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Hi, We have a ton of AT objects that we've imported from our databases, some of which are Japanese characters imported as unicode. In some cases, those could not be imported because of UnicodeEncodeErrors or UnicodeDecodeErrors loading the object from our DB or loading them into the ZODB. It would have been really nice to keep these entries, but we just put them in a try:except: block to get past them. Our current problem is that now we have the data in our DB, and they all display fine. But when we go to edit them through a base_edit and click Save, we're back to this: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 5: ordinal not in range(128). The traceback shows the field which is causing the error, and I don't see any unicode chars there! Zope 2.7.3-0 python 2.3.4 linux CMF 1.4.7 Plone 2.0.4 AT 1.3.1-final + MySqlSqlstorage

Where is Zope3X?
by Bobby Brewster 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Postgresql 8.0 is out but where is Zope3X? It feels like forever, I am still waiting for Zope3X to start a database project based on Zope & PG. Should I forget about Zope3 for now and just use Zope 2.7? This really sucks.

Re: [Zope] Zcatalog searches
by Ken Ara 21 Jan '05

Brian, Some code you can use as a starting point to produce KWIC (key word in context) can be found here: http://zope.org/Members/Ioan/SiteSearch. It's old but works for me under Zope 2.7.3. This implementation requires the searchable text to be in Catalog metadata, which seems to be a bad thing, but I have never really understood just how bad.. The recent discussions about memory use have got me thinking again about this; I would appreciate any pointers to discussion/explanation of catalog metadata and memory. Best, Ken __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Choice of HTML editors
by Ian Nunn 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

I'd be interested in what experienced Zope developers use. HTML I've seen output from FrontPage is rather verbose and complex. I personally use the freeware version of AceHTML and largely write my own simple HTML with it. I assume the development process is create the basic page layout in an editor and then insert Zope tags. What are the "best practices" people use in this regard? Best Regards Ian Nunn School of Computer Science Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, CA

ZAAPlugins works for MS Office but not for OpenOffice
by Tariq Rashid 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Hi, after wanted to index PDFs and MS Office files, I found various items on the internet which point to the use of ZAAPlugins and PloneExFile. This seems to work well. However, openoffice files (.sxw, .sxi for example) aren't handled or recognised. Is there a solution or plugin for this? Even if there is none, can i override the defualt icon that is displayed for these images? The question mark icon is a little confidence-uninspiring! I did try to use the "find" tool on zope to find a mapping from extension/type to icon but couldn't find one. tariq

How to upgrade Zope-2.7.1 to Zope-2.7.4 (Windows)
by Trung Tran 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Hi, I want to upgrade my Zope-2.7.1 to the lastest version Zope-2.7.4 in Windows. As far as I know it might be done by simply installing Zope-2.7.4 (using the executale binary Zope-2.7.4-0-win32.exe) over the existing Zope-2.7.1 (meaning the destination directory will be the existing Zope home). I have created many Zope instances (using Zope-2.7.1) running as Windows services. So if I upgrade the existing Zope-2.7.1 (rather than install Zope-2.7.4 in a new directory) then I don't have to make any change into my existing Zope instances. Could anyone tell that this is the right thing to do it or I would miss anything? Thanks, Trung Tran Email: trung.tran(a)hwe.com.au
