Non-blocking long-running Zope tasks
by Pawel Lewicki 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Hi, What would be the easiest way of managing long-term Zope tasks? I'm using a Plone-based application using a lot of SQL queries and I have a problem with hanging, probably because of ODBC driver - it hangs on timeouts (Windows). I have an idea to rewrite the core to delegate problematic tasks out of main Zope process. It would solve two problems at once. Long non-responding requests and hanging service. (I would check for query results by AJAX requests.) At the moment the most promising is zc.async. I would connect ZEO dispatchers and give back query results. Problem is that I don't need persistence for most of task results and I wonder if ZEO transactions are necessary for that king of processing? Any starting points to suggest? Paweł Lewicki

Five and editform
by Mark Gibson 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

I created a simple content type. I can create an object, but I can't call my view or edit form on it. If I try object/boring_editform or object/index.html I get a Not Found error. Here's what I have in my configure.zcml: --- <browser:editform schema="boring.interfaces.IBoring" for="boring.interfaces.IBoring" name="boring_editform" label="Edit Boring Folder" permission="boring.ManageBoring" /> <browser:page for="boring.interfaces.IBoring" name="index.html" template="view.pt" permission="zope2.View" menu="zmi_views" title="View"> </browser:page> --- What am I missing? Thanks, Mark

Zope 2.11.1-final MailHost Product
by Giampiero Benvenuti 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

To whom it may concern, Thanks so much for your good work and for adding the new feature (MailHost with asynchronous mode). I have just installed the new version of Zope (2.11.1) on my Mac to be able to use it. I did struggle a bit, though, because I didn't realize that in the method for sending email “mto” has to be a list and not a string, as it used to be. Is it correct? Maybe I'm wrong, but I couldn't find any indication for it in the documentation. It would be nice if you could add this, or clarify this point. One more little thing: in /MailHost/dtml/manageMailHost.dtml the two checkbox tags are not closed /> Thanks again and best regards, Giampiero

Five pointers
by Mark Gibson 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

I'm developing a new product for a Zope 2.9.7 site (no CMF). I'd like to use Zope 3 technologies for this product. I've been looking around for a few days, most of what I see describes development for Zope 3, or Five in the context of Plone. Is there a tutorial or a product I can reference that describes how to build a few simple content types "the Zope 3 way" in Zope 2?

Convert absolute path to File object
by rishi pathak 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

In a script python I need to a read a File stored in ZODB at some location. In the said script I only have absolute path of File object as string for e.g. '/path/to/file/object' The only way seems is to convert path string so that it can be accessed using container.path.to.file.object.data Can anyone suggest a method to do so. -- Regards-- Rishi Pathak Pune-Maharastra

mysql and LOAD DATA INFILE
by tangonights＠yahoo.it 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

hello everybody! this is a 50%zope and 50%mysql question..hope somebody here will help me..:-) in PC1: are running a mysql and zope+Plone server. A zsql method imports a csv file into mysql using a LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE and all runs OK when the file is in the PC1 filesystem. I know that "LOCAL" is from the mysql server's point of view, in this case "LOCAL" should mean "where the mysql client is running" (the zope web server) Is there a way to let a remote Plone user (on a remote host) to enter his local file into the remote mysql server? I guess that the issue is entirely on the mysql side, but hope that zope will offer some kind of solution. hope to have been clear enough.. thanks, Stefano.
