Calling SQL from Python products
by Johan Carlsson 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

Here an example of a really fast way of executing SQL questions in a Python Product: from Shared.DC.ZRDB.Results import Results from Shared.DC.ZRDB import RDB class MyProduct(SimpleItem): def __init__(self, database_name='MySQL_database_connection'): self.database_name=database_name def getDB(self): return getattr(self, self.database_name, None) def queryDB(self, query): """query is a text with your SQL quetion, note not ZSQLMethod code!""" db=self.getDB() if db is not None: dbc=db() #get our connection res=dbc.query(query) if type(res) is type(''): f=StringIO() f.write(res) f.seek(0) result=RDB.File(f) else: result=Results(res) return result Cheers, Johan

Oh no! FrontPage ;-). Some time ago (more than one year) somebody wanted to upload a website made with FronPage to our server. We saw it didn't upload some files, then we figured out that this software creates temporary files starting with "_" (underscore). Try to find those, make a copy of the contents and delete the temporary files. We also detected that normal html files were uploaded as dtml documents (Perhaps this has changed, I haven't used ftp since a long time), so, if you have some invalid expressions that conflict with dtml, it won't create the file on zope. Don't answer me what kind of expressions, I don't remmember it, but I can tell you they weren't dtml at all. >I can't see anything about 'relaxing Zope id restriction'. Any hints about >where I should look? I think this isn't a good solution. You could break something else, and if you succeeded, then you will have to remmember to do this each time you upgrade your zope; otherwise, you will have a lot of nice broken links. I think the best way is to manually edit the conflicting pages. Conclusion: Don't use FrontPage. It adds extra unnecessary info to your pages. Don't even edit your html files with word. I saw once that this software changes all the slashes on your paths for backslashes, so your site will work perfect on IE, but it will fail with other browsers (netscape 4.x comes in mind, mozilla I think copes with this) Finally don't use ftp, it's insecure. You had better user localfs with scp (google for winscp for windows systems).

Accessing the Values of a Select Element
by Asad Habib 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

Does anyone know how to access the values of a html select element that is defined to hold multiple values in Zope? In PHP, this element would be treated as an array but I have no idea how Zope handles this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Asad

Zope book recommendations
by John Poltorak 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

There seem to be a few more books on Zope than when I got my Zope Bible, which I haven't found as useful as I hoped. What would anyone recommend for someone interested in building web sites using Zope? -- John

Please keep your posts on the list... I am not familiar with 'invokeFactory', but I have used manage_addDTMLDocument (and DTMLMethod) with no problems. When in doubt... try it!

Getting data from the body of a post
by Kirk Strauser 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

One of the companies working with my employer on a largish project needs to submit the contents of a file to our Zope server. Their middlewear application doesn't seem to be able to send multipart forms, so it just sticks the contents of the file into the body of the post. Is there an easy way to get at this data? I can't find the request['BODY'] attribute from inside Python scripts, so I'm at a loss for where to look. -- Kirk Strauser The Day Companies

Getting started again (subdomain, user, logout)
by Daniel Neugebauer 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Hi! Last year I played a bit with Zope and built a homepage with it. Unfortunately our shared host had to be re-installed and so I lost my old settings. When they said they would have upgraded their servers (Zope slowed down everything) now I decided to reinstall it. However, I only have a backup of my old user-directory. It was hosted under foo.bar.de - and here comes the problem: I can't manage to get that working again. Whatever I try, I can't get Zope delivering different root-dirs for www.bar.de and foo.bar.de. Since I'm getting "a bit" confused while reading the documentation (I remember it took me about a week last year to get it working because docs were so much confusing I had to try out everything on my own) I messed Zope by misconfiguring VHM: Suddenly I had a sub-directory as the root-directory for admin _and_ my user-acc and saw no other possibility to fix it than creating a new Zope-instance. I remember Zope allowed different users to log in only into their own root-dirs (subdomains) so they could not get to the real root. I also don't know how I made that. Now the next problem: I can't log out. No matter what I try, I'm still logged in as admin and I'm not able to log in as a user. I really have no clue why because it worked with the messed instance. (I'm using Opera 7.60) I would use something else since I don't really need all features of Zope but all CMS I can find are specialized on portals. (except typo3 but that's even more over-sized for my purposes (only me hosting a single homepage) than Zope) Thanks, Daniel
