Zope Community Contentment (Part II)
by Stephan Richter 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Hi everyone, a while back Katrin Wodzicki (Katrin.Wodzicki_at_uni-jena.de) conducted a poll about the contentment of the Zope community. She has now prepared a second questionnaire that is based on the answers from the first one. This questionnaire is pretty short and I filled it out in about 10 minutes (since I wrote a lot -- most people will need only 5 minutes). The questionnaire is available bi-lingual in German and English at http://evaluation.gocept.com until December 5. Please take a moment to fill out the forms. It will help not only Katrin to finish her Diploma (German College degree), but also the Zope Community to better understand our community's strongholds and shortcommings. The results will be presented at the Sprint DZUG meeting and will be available afterwards online. So please, hit the server with some traffic!

As quoted from Zope's website.... "Event Log Manager is a logging facility for Zope that supports complex rules processing and configurable targets. It has more features than the current zLOG facility. It's available at http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/Products/EventLogManager" |--------+------------------------> | | Chris Withers | | | <chris@simplis| | | tix.co.uk> | | | | | | 04/10/2004 | | | 06:03 PM | | | | |--------+------------------------> >----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: Marnie King/Staff/ABS | | cc: zope(a)zope.org | | Subject: Re: [Zope] Event Log Manager | >----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Marnie King wrote: > I have recently attempted to include Event Log Manager into my installation of > Zope.

Look in log/event.log or try starting zope with bin/runzope and see what you get. cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk ----------------------------------------------- ABS Web Site: www.abs.gov.au

Hello! Is there any way to configure the zeo server to only listen to requests coming from the localhost? I couldn't find any documentation concerning the zeo configuration file. Basically, I would like to secure my zeo Server from access via the internet without resorting to iptables. Thanks for any tips, >>MM

Dear All, I try to install Zope3 on my Mac computer. The machine has two Python installation, the one provided by Apple (version 2.3) and version 2.3.4 I has issued "$ ./configure --with-python /usr/local/bin/python" to use Python 2.3.4, then issued "make"; "make check".

by baptiste Ancey 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

hi, I use Zope for my website with a Mysql Database. I just want to store a python dictionary to a blob column of my table. And my problem is that i don't know how to set and get var to a blob from a script for example... I see some blob example on the web but always with file variable (thumbnails ...) never with the other kind of variable. I hope anybody can help me with an "HelloWorld" example Thx Baptiste -- Derivexperts Paris Cyber Village 101-103 Boulevard Mac Donald 75019 Paris 01 44 89 47 49

Hi, I think you'll have to pickle the object first, then dump it into the db. Have a look at Python's pickle features. Jason.

by Anthu Nguyen 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Hi all, I've just installed 2.7.3 (notes below). But when I try to add a simple Product (the "hello" example from the documentation), I am asked for a login & password. My inituser login/password do not work, and I get this error (with VerboseSecurity): * You are not authorized to access this resource.* Username and password are not correct. (Also, an error occurred while attempting to render the standard error message.) Any help would be appreciated.
