Zope Community Evaluations
by Stephan Richter 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

Hello everyone, Katrin Wodzicki, a psychology student at the University of Jena, is conducting a Zope Community evaluation as part of her thesis. The questionnaire tries to explore the satisfaction and motivation behind Zope community members of all kinds. She will make the results available to the community and I think that they can help us understand the need of the community better. So please take a moment and answer the questionnaire at http://evaluation.gocept.com. Thanks for your support!

Passing "error" variable to another page template?
by Kirk Strauser 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

I'd like to use a tal:on-error clause to render an error message that includes the contents of the "error" variable, and I'm at a loss as to how to go about that. I guess that a more general form of the question would be, how do I pass variables to page templates? -- Kirk Strauser The Day Companies

ZODB scalability in in large Zope deployments
by Jeff Rodriguez 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

I'm planning on using Plone and Zope for our company intranet. If there's one thing I've learned working at my company it's that we will push whatever the product is to it's absolute limit and then ask for more. Which makes me wonder, how does ZODB scale in massive deployments? I'm not really concerned with the number of hits so much as ZODB's ability to handle: 1. Large quantities of large objects 2. Small quantities of very large objects. 3. Large quantities of small objects. I can really forsee millions of objects with sizes ranging from a couple kilobytes to hundreds of megabytes. Anyone with experience in this type of setting please let me know as I am very interested in the difficulties, compromises, or praise you have for/with ZODB/ZOPE/Plone. Thank you, Jeff Rodriguez

security settings: copy or move for anonymous
by Kai Bielenberg 23 Oct '04

Hi, I've just seen that in my Zope 2.7.2 installation Copy or move permissions are granted to anonymous users by default in the zope security settings. Why that? Kai

Please in the future use the Zope list: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope There isn't at this very moment a web services platform for Zope.

Use of APE in a production environment?
by Kelly McDonald 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

We are looking at moving to a APE->filesystem implementation in zope 2.7, I've got a few questions: 1. Is anyone using this setup in a production environment - have there been any problems with stability or performance? 2. Has anyone figured anything out to populate the cache upon startup? 3. What has been the performance hit, if any? 4. have you had any problems using subversion/cvs with the objects on the APE/Filesystem volume, especially when using multiple branches for development? Any answers would be appreciated. TIA, -- Kelly McDonald <w4kpm(a)adelphia.net>

RE: [Zope] Re: WebDAV and Virtual Hosting
by Brokken, Allen P. 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

I actually tracked this back to an issue with the Plone CMF running on top of the site. All of my other rewrites/VHM etc... are working as expected. Somewhere in the config it is setting a value "portal_url" = <domain>/Plone. I'm working through the Plone documentation now to find why it's getting set by default to that. There is a portal_url object in all 3 main folders, I'm just not sure where to remove the default. For some reason that variable is not being rewritten like everything else. I found that the "cookie crumbler" is writing portal_url before the virtual host settings are read. There doesn't appear to be a patch, and it's not slated to be fixed any time soon from the bug report I found on plone.org. I'll just have to restructure the site. --- Allen Brokken IAT Services - ISAM University of Missouri brokkena(a)missouri.edu -----Original Message----- From: zope-bounces+brokkena=missouri.edu(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-bounces+brokkena=missouri.edu@zope.org] On Behalf Of Max M Sent: Friday, October 22, 2004 3:16 AM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Re: WebDAV and Virtual Hosting Brokken, Allen P. wrote: > I've tried a half dozen combinations of SiteRoots and Virtual Host > monsters in various folders with various mappings.

If you have more you have misunderstood it. I think it's a better idea to rewrite webdav to port 80. At other ports your customers will most likely get problems with firewalls. I often redirect it to an address like: http://www.somesite.com/webdav Using rewrite rules like: RewriteRule ^/webdav(.*) http://localhost:1980/VirtualHostBase/http/www.somesite.com:80/VirtualHo stRoot/_vh_webdav/$1 [P] RewriteRule ^(.*) http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.somesite.com:80/VirtualHo stRoot/$1 [P] -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Zope/CVS/SVN - Options?
by Kelly McDonald 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

I am curious as to how people are approaching source code management, especially in environments where there are several developers and where branches are being used as sandboxes. We are currently using RevisionManager, but we haven't been using this in conjunction with branches, has anyone been doing this, and if so, what has your experience with this been? (longer text of our current practice and where we would like to go is at the end.) Is there a standard accepted practice for using source code control with zope (especially for stuff that would be stored in the ZODB), or is Zope most often being used in an environment where this isn't necessary? Comments/ suggestions are appreciated. Sincerely, Kelly McDonald. For historical reasons, almost all of our code/business logic is contained in the ZODB in the form of python scripts/ DTML, etc. (data is stored in a SQL server, postgres) We realize that it would be better to get that stuff out of the ZODB, but we didn't know that when we started, so now we are stuck with a codebase that is all in the ZODB. We have been using Revision Manager to keep our changes in CVS, but we haven't been using branches at all. This has worked OK with two developers, however as we are adding a third and possibly a fourth (sorry, already on staff, not hiring right now!), we see branches as a requirement. I realize that RM has some options for using branches, but it doesn't seem particularly efficient when compared to using cvs/svn directly on the FS. We are currently looking at APE with a file system volume (see my previous post) but are uncertain if APE has been proven yet, even though it has a 1.0 version. For us, the holy grail would be able to have all of our objects on the file-system for source control, and be able to use GUI tools for cvs/svn (no flames please, I prefer CLI, but we have developers who are used to VB,etc) and not take a performance hit for doing any of this. -- Kelly McDonald <w4kpm(a)adelphia.net>
