What I have done is to re-install the old OrderedFolder Product. Now, in the dropdown list, I see "Folder (Ordered)" -- the new style -- and also "Ordered Folder" -- the old one. With the old one installed I found 3 Ordered Folder instances. Still, when I add a Folder (Ordered) it does not have ordering support... So, if I change those 3 to regular folders, and delete the OrderedFolder Product, will that allow the Folder (Ordered) to start working? Or is that unrelated and there is just something else wrong with my Folder (Ordered)?

read-only-database

Does the read-only-database in zope.conf really work and what does it really do? Does it turn of all writing to the filesystem or just the main Data.fs? Regards, Johan

That last solution was a bit long-winded. Try this python script (put theText in the parameter list): lines = string.split(theText, '\n') for line in lines: (subject, email) = string.split(line, ',') print 'Subject=%s, Email=%s' % (subject, email) return printed and call it like this: <dtml-var expr="myList(_.getitem('file_name', 1))"> Cliff Brokken, Allen P. wrote: > I am working on a very simple "feedback" type form for my site.

Maintaining Zope => packing
by Serge Renfer 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hi all, I'm managing several zope instances on a Solaris machine, and I'd like to pack them through crontab, as it is showed in the zope book. http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/ MaintainingZope.stx There are several root users on this machine, and I don't want to have a crontab visible (with password in clear) by others with manager rights. To connect to a zope instance, for security reason, I would have liked to have a user that could do only packing of the base. But there is no "security tab" in the in the database page of the control panel. So I cannot make a local role at this level. Is there another way to give a user only this right (packing the database) or should I renonce! Thank you in advance for your answer(s)! serge

Reading File Contents
by Brokken, Allen P. 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

I am working on a very simple "feedback" type form for my site. I realize this can be achieved with the collector or other intermediately complex means, but for this site I need something very light weight and simple. All I need is a table of "Subject","Email address" to be read from a file rather than hiding the values in the form. Basically the method that renders the form reads the file and picks up the subjects to make a drop down, then when submitted it matches the subject to the appropriate email address. If it's not a valid subject it drops the request, and only sends email to the right person. If this were perl on a traditional web server I would have done this in like 60 seconds. As it is I can't figure out how to read in the data from the text file so it goes into an array properly. I was hoping it might be as simple as doing file_name subject1,email1(a)host.com subject2,email2(a)host.com subject3,email3(a)host2.com method ... Form header and fields <select> <dtml-call file_name> <dtml-in file_name> <dtml-let keytosplit=sequence-item feedback_name="_.string.split(keytosplit, ',')[0]" email_address="_.string.split(keytosplit, ',')[1]"> <option value="<dtml-var feedback_name>"><dtml-var feedback_name></select> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> However it treats file_name as a string and won't let me <dtml-in> over that. Is there a way to easily convert the contents of the file to a line by line input for a <dtml-in >statement, or some other quick and dirty way to do this? I've come up with some more complex ways with adding a header character to each line to split on, with some form of loop through it all, but turning the other file into a set for <dtml-let> seems to be the most straight forward way to do it. I've come up with half a dozen other ways to handle this that include MySQL, or other products, but I really would like it to be as simple as possible with as few external dependencies as possible. --- Allen Brokken IAT Services - ISAM University of Missouri brokkena(a)missouri.edu

Hi, >I'm not sure what else to suggest; you seem to be the only one >experiencing this problem. Maybe reinstall Zope a different way? How >did you install Zope? From source? Yes, originally from source. Then I moved everything to another server eunning the same OS (RH FC2). I re-compiled some stuff. Everything seemed to work a few days ago. I can try re-installing from scratch I guess, in the worse case. That leads to my question: what's the best way to move a Zope installation from one server to another? Thx, Paul

Migration problems
by John Poltorak 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

I spent some time looking at Zope several months ago but because of the steep learning curve gave it a rest after a week or two, but would like to get back to where I left off. Unfortunately I seem to be unable to access ZODB now after having upgraded Python, Zope, CMF and Plone. I presume I need to migrate whatever objects I built previously to the new environment... Is there any guide to doing this? Here is the sort of error I get when trying to start Zope:- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/run.py", line 49, in ? run() File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/run.py", line 19, in run start_zope(opts.configroot) File "/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/__init__.py", line 51, in start_zope starter.startZope() File "/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/__init__.py", line 230, in startZope Zope.startup() File "/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py", line 45, in startup from Zope.App.startup import startup as _startup File "/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Zope/App/startup.py", line 30, in ? import OFS.Application File "/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 18, in ? import Globals,Folder,os,sys,App.Product, App.ProductRegistry, misc_ File "/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/App/Product.py", line 44, in ? from HelpSys.HelpSys import ProductHelp File "/apps/zope/lib/python/HelpSys/__init__.py", line 15, in ? import HelpSys File "/apps/zope/lib/python/HelpSys/HelpSys.py", line 18, in ? from Products.ZCatalog.ZCatalog import ZCatalog File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/__init__.py", line 16, in ? import ZCatalog, Catalog, CatalogAwareness, CatalogPathAwareness, ZClasses File "/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/ZCatalog.py", line 29, in ? from Catalog import Catalog, CatalogError File "/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/Catalog.py", line 17, in ? from MultiMapping import MultiMapping ImportError: filename doesn't match module name Where do I start in trying to sort this out? -- John

OrderedFolder broken (by old-style OrderedFolder?)
by Lee Harr 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

When using Zope-2.6, I had a separate OrderedFolder product installed... Now I notice that 2.7 has a built-in OrderedFolder. I can see "Folder (Ordered)" in my product add list, and I can add an OrderedFolder instance to my site, but it does not have the order controls inside. In my log file, I am seeing : 2004-11-13T06:37:49 PROBLEM(100) ZODB Could not import class 'OrderedFolder' from module 'Products.OrderedFolder.OrderedFolder' That product is no longer installed. I tried going in to the control panel and uninstalling it there, but I continue to get the same error in the log. Any hints on how to clean this up? My only thought is to re-install the old OrderedFolder class, but I would prefer to move on to the standardized Zope ordered folder.
