HTML/PlainText alternate eMails from Zope
by Jonathan Cyr 15 Aug '04

15 Aug '04

Hello, I want to send eMail from Zope that automatically shows HTML to HTML-enabled eMail clients and PlainText otherwise. It seems to concern a boundary of type? alternate. I'm not very versed in eMail and its protocols. I was hoping one of the DTML sendmail options would achieve this. Anyone know how to do this? Or some keywords for Google other than HTML eMail boundary or alternate? Thanks, Jon Cyr cyrj(a)cyr.info

profiling DTML, TAL, Python Scripts, and the like
by Dennis Allison 15 Aug '04

15 Aug '04

Zope's profiling is done in the python space (it's a wrapper for the python profiling). I need to optimize an existing Zope application. Has anyone done a profiler for Zope applications?

"_myTemplate.__of__(self)" means "_myTemplate in the context of self". Take a look at the book of Dieter where he talks about Acquisition. It is explained there: http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html About _owner=None, taken textualy from this page: http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/howto/ZPT_management "The important line here is manage_editThingyForm._owner = None. Without this line, your management screens will fail to work if the Thingy instance was created or owned by a user with restricted permissions, as access to the management screen helpers such as manage_page_header will fail." > > Then you can do this on zpt: > > <div tal:define="management_view options/management_view"> > > Do something here > > </div> > What about <p tal:content="options/management_view" /> ? That should work as well. > > What I'm trying to do is this: > security.declareProtected('Manage properties','manage_importForm') > manage_importForm = PageTemplateFile('www/manage_importForm', globals()) > manage_importForm._owner = None > > security.declareProtected('Manage properties', 'manage_import') > def manage_import(self, REQUEST): > message="something" > REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/html') > return self.manage_importForm.__of__(self)(message=message) > > And in the template: > > And when I try to access, I get the error: > Error Type: KeyError > Error Value: 'message' > What am I doing wrong ? > <div tal:define="message options/message"> > </div> I think you are a little bit confused. Normaly by convention, manage_importForm is the zpt object and manage_import is the submit method of the import form. If you see your code, you will see that you are not defining message on manage_import_Form. You define it later on manage_import, so, when you call your template "manage_import_Form, you will get a KeyError as expected. I would redefine your sample like this: _manage_importForm = PageTemplateFile('www/manage_importForm', globals()) security.declareProtected('Manage properties','manage_importForm') def manage_importForm(self,REQUEST) _manage_importForm._owner=None message="something" REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type','text/html') return _manage_importForm.__of__(self)(message=message) def manage_import(self, param1, param2, REQUEST=None): #Do somthing here to process the #information on the manage_importForm Regards, Josef

Database Adapter releasing database connection after request
by Florian Reiser 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

Hello zopistas, could anybody tell me, how I could convince ZODBCDA to close the database connection after each request? Or is there another ODBC adapter around, which can handle this. Maybe I could take parts of ZODBCDA and extend it? I need this feature because I want to be able to clean up the database and the associated tables without having to restart zope. The problem is: As long as zope holds a connection to my database, I can't get exclusive access to it. Simple kicking zope off the database isn't possible either. So I do have to do it the nice way. With kind regards Florian Reiser -- NEU: WLAN-Router f�r 0,- EUR* - auch f�r DSL-Wechsler! GMX DSL = superg�nstig & kabellos http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl

I didn't found it. > > I'm interested in, for example, on which products it depends -> I saw Zope complains about the Product "Event", so, I installed it, but there isn't a README with this info. I also saw that when you try to add an instance of the Scheduler, you need something called "Event service", which defaults to "portal_events". For the name, I guess it needs CMF too, right? Can't be it used without it? > > I'm also interested on knowing what bugs have been corrected. > Ok, I found that "Event Service" is available as soon as you install the "Event" Product, so, I guess you don't need CMF after all. However, after adding an instance called "portal_events" on the Root, then adding a Scheduler, and finally scheduling a task two minutes on the future with an interval of 3600 seconds (1 minute) and giving it a max age of 36000 seconds (10 minutes), it isn't triggered, the "Next Run Time" isn't updated, and there is no traceback on the zope log. Do I have to do/install something else? Thanks, Josef

Zope 2.7.2 still doesn't run as a service in w2k
by Ausum Studio 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

I tried all what's currently available except to dig into Zope's win32 services machinery: I did install it manually after removing the extra underscore in "INSTANCE__HOME". I added a PYTHONPATH system variable for both the path of the alternate Python installation and the Zope software; and also I changed the PYTHONW variable within zopeservices.py to the executable of this other Python installation (which I need due to I have installed there win32all), but the service refuses to start. The event log just tells : Zope_307702503 (Zope instance at G:\Zope-Instance): process died unexpectedly. Will attempt restart after 160 seconds. If I run it manually everything is fine. Has anyone else had this same problem? Guess I ran out of stamina at this very moment ;) Ausum

IOError one first running zope
by Steph Smith 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

I have a fresh install of Zope 2.6.4, installed from the Gentoo ebuild. I ran "zope-config -zpasswd", and then started my instance from the script provided in /etc/init.d (all default Gentoo). Now, when I go to http://localhost:8080 I get the following message: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Error Type: IOError Error Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '//usr/share/zope//zope-2.6.4-r1/lib/python/App/dt ml/zope_quick_start.dtml' -------------------------------------------------------------------- The page then offers the following troubleshooting advice, none of which seems to be actually helpful in this case (although I could be missing something!) * The URL may be incorrect. * The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect. * A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error. I've checked /usr/share/zope//zope-2.6.4-r1/lib/python/App/dtml/zope_quick_start.dtml and made sure that the user running zope (in this case 'root') has explicit permissions to the file, which it does. I've checked the logs for this instance of zope, and there are no errors reported. I'm sure the problem is something embarrassingly easy, however I can't think of what else to check. I notice that the path mentioned begins with '//', although I can't imagine that that would be the problem (its odd, but still valid). I've also been searching google for more information on this problem, however the only hit I found which seemed to possibly be the same problem was in Japanese :( I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or advise they might be willing to share. TIA, Steph
