Missing attributes while pasting objects...
by FLORAC Thierry 04 Oct '04

Hi, I have a problem with Zope-2.6.1, which I'll try to describe below... I have several classes, in several Python products, with several custom properties : class MyFolder (ObjectManager): _properties = ({'id':'title', 'type':'string', 'mode':'w'}, {'id':'oid', 'type':'string', 'mode':''}, {'id':'template', 'type':'string', 'mode':'w'}) class MyClass (SimpleItem): _properties = ({'id':'title', 'type':'string', 'mode':'w'}, {'id':'oid', 'type':'string', 'mode':''}, ...) class MySubClass (MyClass): _properties = MyClass._properties + \ ({'id':'template', 'type':'string', 'mode':'w'}, ...) Instances of MyClass and MySubClass are stored in instances of MyFolder. My problem is that when I cut and paste an instance of MySubClass from/to an instance of MyFolder, it seems that properties added to MySubClass are lost ; and in this example, the MySubClass.template is replaced with the value of MyFolder.template. The "CopySource._getCopy" method which is used to get a copy of an object while cutting/pasting is never overridden, but I think that my added properties are already missing while calling this method... Any help or idea will be greatly welcome... Thanks, Thierry

Two Zopes versus two Zope instances
by aa bb 04 Oct '04

04 Oct '04

Dear Zopers, On a server (P4 2,6 GHZ, 512MB, Win2k) I have an Intranet running (Zope 2.7.0 as service) and a preproduced utility database which came in a Zope 2.6.1. Would performance improve, if I ported the latter to a zope 2.7.0 instance? Would you advise to do so? I have never before set up a parallel 2.7 instance, but from documentation it seems that they would be independent services as well, sharing only the Program directory. ?

Homepage

Is there a list of file names which Zope looks for to automatically display a homepage when a website is referenced? I would like home.htm to shown when viewing www.mysite.org but it doesn't look as if Zope searches for such a file. Is this a configuration option? -- John

searching html content in page templates
by Ramesh Nethi 04 Oct '04

04 Oct '04

I have bunch of static html files (about 50) that need to be part of an existing zope 2.7.2/plone app. Currently these are hosted in Apache and one of the reasons to move to an existing zope/plone site is to make use of zope catalog features. What are the best practices if I need to accomplish the following: a) Reuse parts of html (header, footer etc), if possible. While in apache, the html files are using Server side includes(SSI) to bring in header/footer etc into the main page. b) Search text in html documents I am trying to see if I can accomplish both the goals while minimizing the modifications to existing html. Page Templates seems to be the natural choice, but looks like they donot get indexed (and hence the content is not searchable). Is there a simple way to get the html in the PT to get cataloged ? Thanks for any pointers. regards Ramesh Nethi

RE: [Zope] Re: Disgraceful

I am an experienced software developer, looking for a content management system for clients that do not have one and cannot afford the big guns. I started looking at Zope seriously Friday, and signed up for the mailing list. The very first thread I explored was the long, bitter stream of replies to "Disgraceful." I've been around long enough to know that this thread is probably not representative of the entire Zope community. But, if the Zope development/support community members want their product to be a long-term viable option, patience with new users -- including even lazy or stupid new users -- is going to be a part of that. I only say this because I've seen good software whither and die, despite the intentions, dedication, and competence of the developers. I'd like to see Zope continue to succeed. What I've seen of Zope in action so far is pretty impressive. The Zope book is also impressive, but still obviously a work in progress. There aren't a lot of on-the-shelf books with recent publication dates, so help here is vital for new users. I understand and sympathize completely with the frustrations of dealing with users who have not read the manual, who have "forgotten" how to do something, whatever. I have gotten an email from a vice-president of special projects asking for a CD of the Internet. But the answer isn't anger; I've learned my knuckles aren't harder than the monitor. Perhaps a newbies list would help, as suggested below. Maybe more of us should help with documentation, and with answering questions. But public humiliation is a self-defeating strategy; it hinders progress for all. I'll stop now, because I feel a political rant coming on..... -----Original Message----- From: Sophia Grimm [mailto:sophiagrimm@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 1:20 PM To: Tiller, Michael (M.M.); Michael R. Bernstein; zope(a)zope.org Subject: RE: [Zope] Re: Disgraceful Hmmm... Couple of comments about etiquette and documentation... I'm a newbie programmer (not just a newbie to zope), and I usually spend hours researching any topic before I ever ask a question. That said, I find the zope and plone web sites unhelpful to the extreme. I've read the zope book through, as well as other zope manuals, but I usually need practical examples. When I google search for help, I don't always know what to look for, or what I try to look for is not what I find. That doesn't mean that the writers aren't doing a great job -- you are! But not everyone has good search skills, and not everyone will know how to interpret and apply what is written. A newbies list would serve one terrific purpose: Anyone who is on the list to answer questions -- presumably the same people who do it now, like Dieter and Andreas -- would understand that the subscribers will include people like me, who try our best and still need a lot of support. Anyone who doesn't want to deal with that can choose not to subscribe or answer. Unfortunately, there will always be an oversupply of people with questions and far too few to answer. For those who do support us, we hope you know that we appreciate what you do. Please be patient with us! All that aside, email is a horrible medium for communication. What you write can be interpreted so many ways, depending on language, culture, and individual perception. So it's not necessary to use rude words to come across that way. I'm sure that (except possibly within the current thread) no one *meant* to be rude. BTW, I intended this email to be a friendly =-) commentary. --- "Tiller, Michael (M.M.)" <mtiller(a)ford.com> wrote: > > > From: zope-bounces(a)zope.org > [mailto:zope-bounces@zope.org] On Behalf > Of > > Subject: [Zope] Re: Disgraceful > > > > The Zope Book chapter on sessions is currently the > sixth result here: > > http://www.google.com/search?q=zope+sessions > > Really?

How to put my scripts into a custom folder (Acquisition problems)
by Hermann Himmelbauer 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Hi, I am developing a simple Zope/Plone site and want to put custom scripts in a seperate folder, e.g. into /custom_scripts But how can I now calling these scripts without losing the correct context? If I e.g. want to call the script "/custom_scripts/myscript" from "/folder1" I have to write http://mysite/folder1/custom_scripts/myscript". The context of the script is then "/custom_scripts" which is bad as it loses the context of "folder1". When I put the python scripts into the root folder, everything works as the context of "http://mysite/folder1/myscript" is then "/folder1" which was my intention. I also don't completely understand it: Why is the context of the first example not "folder1/custom_scripts/"? Why does the context change to the container of the script? Is there any good solution to this? Or should I really put all my python scripts into the root folder?
