Overriding DateTime
by Tim Knapp 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, I would like to override the DateTime.DateTime class within my functional tests. I have tried mocking (via mocker) and injecting the subclassed DateTime class into sys.modules (results in a TraversalError). The fartherest I've gotten is to set DateTime.DateTime = MySubclassedDateTime in my tests.py, which does work for the code 'within' the package(s) I'm testing but all the Zope core code (i.e. the instance created within PloneTestCase) is still referencing the global DateTime module. Has anyone successfully done this? Thanks in advance, Tim

Freelancing fees
by Pablo Ziliani 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi guys, I've been working for the same Zope or Django projects for virtually 5 years now, but recently, the circumstances and I reached an agreement concluding that it's time to start looking at freelancing. In consequence I need to set an hourly fee rate for the team. So, I'm running a small studio in Argentina, taking both graphic design and programming stuff. The GD fee may be easier for me to figure than the programming one; particularly, I was wondering if the fact of knowing Zope2 very well added any cent to the "general programming" fee (whatever that could be). I know there are uncountable factors that make up this figure, but in order to achieve some kind of reference: Off the top of your heads, which is a reasonable hourly fee for a project/task/client including zope-specific skills in the job description? $/€ 1, 15, 30, 50, 100, 300, ...? Furthermore: how much if it doesn't? Regards, Pablo Ziliani PS: any tip on getting Python/Zope freelance jobs, highly appreciated

Hi, I have a variable called "checkGroup" where its values are the record ids that the user selected to be deleted. I have a deleteRecord method that takes two arguements, one the sql table and the record id to be deleted. The code below works fine except for when the user only select one item from the checkGroup list, I get an error "string not allow in in". Any suggestions of how I could fix this? Thanks. <dtml-in checkGroup> <dtml-let deleteItem=sequence-item> <dtml-var "deletedRecord(table,deleteItem)"> </dtml-let> </dtml-in>

Hi, I've created a SiteRoot to point to a subfolder of the root folder /subfolder. Now I can't get back to the root folder / or remove the SiteRoot entry. How do I get back to the / root folder or go back and edit/remove the SiteRoot entry that I've just did. I checked the "Undo" tab by my SiteRoot entry wasn't there. Thanks for any suggestions.

Ah, I didn't realize you are doing this in "untrusted" code. http://docs.zope.org/zope2/zope2book/source/ScriptingZope.html#script-secur… Another approach would be to just change any (small) attribute of the object. Something like: some_image.title = some_image.title -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

by Jean-Michel FRANCOIS 30 Mar '09

Hi, I m trying to make my first content type with zope3. The code is available there: http://github.com/toutpt/z3weblog.entry/tree I m following the second edition of the book "web component developement with zope3", i know this is not the last edition. So, i m making a ISized component for my simple content type, with a simple unittest, but now, i want to use zope.dublincore package and i get an error when i m launch the tests: ================= (zope3apps)toutpt@linux-tggd:~/workspace/zope3apps/apps/prout> .bin/test Running tests at level 1 Running unit tests: Running: ...

The question is : what is the best way to load components in unittests ? Do just i have to load the zcml of zope.dublincore, or do i have to register only needed components, if so how can i do that ?

by Dvir Bar-lev 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi I have a site with the following folder structure in zope: Dvir WebSite contentPages I have and index_html in the WebSite folder, in it I call a dtml method that's in the contentPages folder named overview_html, in the same folder (content Pages) I have another dtml_method named time_combo. In the overview_html I try to call the time combo method - I tried: <dtml-var time_combo> But it keeps saying it has an error : Error Type: NameError Error Value: name 'time_combo' is not defined I tried putting the full path like this: <dtml-var expr="Dvir <http://10.101.1.106:8080/Dvir/manage_workspace> .WebSite <http://10.101.1.106:8080/Dvir/WebSite/manage_workspace> .contentPages <http://10.101.1.106:8080/Dvir/WebSite/contentPages/manage_workspace> .time_combo()"> But it still won't work. Any idea what I did wrong? And what do I need to do to be able to call it?

Importing .zexp files
by Bobby 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi, I’ve just downloaded the ZMultiTab_0_2.zexp from http://www.zope.org/Members/dgeorgieff/zMultiTab and put it in the import folder. I can see it from the import drop down list but can’t import it. Zope says “The object ZMultiTab does not support his operation”. At first I thought it was a file permission but that wasn’t it as I could import other .zexp files from the import folder with the same permission; I’m on a linux box. Any suggestions of what might be happening here? Thanks.
