ZWiki: kludge around title-related error
by Kyler Laird 14 Mar '04

14 Mar '04

Not long ago I upgraded the ZWiki product to ZWiki-0-27-1. I thought it was working o.k. until today when I started getting a KeyError with Values that were the same as the ZWiki Page title. If I blanked the title, no error was generated but that would break a bunch of things I already use. I tried upgrading to ZWiki-0-28-0. That had no effect. The expression causing the problem was standard:'here/primaryParentUrl' so I tried just removing it from wikipage_macros.pt (line 85). That seems to have solved the problem. --kyler

To get the catalog entry for a specific role I do: result = self.processRoles({'entityId':roleId}) where roleId is index value. the result is 'None', an object or a list of objects having the index. These objects are 'mybrains' instances which behave like dictionaries with additional methods. HTH. <rant disclaimer='this is NOT aimed at anyone, just the state-of-the-art'> I work almost entirely with products and face the same lack of examples working with python. Casey Duncan seems to be the catalog guru and if he reads this perhaps he could point us poor mortals in the direction of some (any?) documentation which gives python programming introduction to catalog & ZCatalog. For me, trying to deduce the functionality of catalog from the source is like trying to deduce the appearance of a pyramid from a 1 ton block of sand stone. </rant> Richard Jennings -------------------------- 'Just a bloke doing a job he (mostly) enjoys'

Hello Dieter, thanks for your help. I now finally got rid of the old product.

In this attribute, the Z SQL method remembers the columns that were returned by the last query (to support the so called "searchable" interface). >How can I get rid of the product? I fear this is not so easy... The right way would be to find out why Zope prevents you from entering the folder containing this Z SQL Method. In principle, Zope should return an instance of the "Broken" class (what you may see as a "broken object" from time to time). For some unknown reason this does not work in your case. This should be fixed... Unfortunately, it will probably require some deep ZODB zen to fix it. Maybe, your zen level is not yet advanced enough. In this case, you may try the following approach (make a backup first!). * export a subtree containing the broken Z SQL Method (what you did for the attached export) * delete this subtree (the broken Z SQL Method is now gone, unfortunatle together with other (maybe relevant) objects * replace the <global id="50904.41" name="str" module="Products.ZReportLab2.ZReportLab"/> in the XML export file by <string id="50904.41" encoding="repr">broken</string> * import the modified file at the orginal place If everything goes well, you will have again a fully functional site. -- Dieter

Search a Catalog in Python
by Andre Meyer 14 Mar '04

14 Mar '04

Dear Zopers This time, I thought it should be simple, but I am struggling again: The idea was to search for items that have been catalogued successfully. In the Zope Book they describe how to do this using form and scripts. That works for me, too, but then I need to search in a regular Python program (An FS product). For this purpose, I found the ZCatalog.search method and gave it a try, but I cannot get it to work. It expects a dictionary, but what does that contain? Here is what I have so far: __init__(self, id, title, ...): ... # add a Catalog _catalog = ZCatalog('Catalog') # add Metadata fields for the Catalog _catalog.addColumn('id') _catalog.addColumn('title') _catalog.addColumn('icon') # PathIndex _catalog.addIndex('path_index', 'PathIndex') # ZCTextIndex (with the required Lexicon) class Extra: """ Just a dummy to build records for the Lexicon. """ pass extra = Extra() extra.index_type = 'Okapi BM25 Rank' extra.lexicon_id = 'Lexicon' _catalog._setObject('Lexicon', PLexicon('Lexicon', '', Splitter(), CaseNormalizer())) _catalog.addIndex('title', 'ZCTextIndex', extra) # FieldIndex _catalog.addIndex('composer_first_name_index', 'FieldIndex', 'first_name') _catalog.addIndex('composer_last_name_index', 'FieldIndex', 'last_name') _catalog.addIndex('composer_year_of_birth_index', 'FieldIndex', 'year_of_birth') self._setObject('Catalog', _catalog) ... # all new items get catalogued (verified) and now # we should be able to search for them like this: def searchForAnItem(item) obj=self.Catalog.search(last_name_index={'query': ['Aaa']}) What is wrong here? I feel very stupid again. Any help is appreciated! Thanks and kind regards Andre

Accessing ZODB contents in an external method?
by Edward Pollard 13 Mar '04

13 Mar '04

I need to run a report that is basically "What files are in this directory?" This directory now lives in the ZODB. Is there anyway to talk to the ZODB from an external method? --- Edward J. Pollard, B.Sc Webmaster, University of Lethbridge

ImportError
by Florian Reiser 13 Mar '04

Hello Dieter, I have searched for objects with the meta_type of the old product. Nothing to find. If I export the directory and scan the zexp-file, then I find the product in several places. If you can analyze the zexp-file, then write to me. I will send you the file, but I don't want to send it over the mailing-list. Is there anything else I can do? Regards Florian Reiser

Zope 2.6.4: can't iterate through protected objects
by Kyler Laird 13 Mar '04

13 Mar '04

I realize that 2.6.4 is not the current version of Zope, but that's what's in Debian right now. I'm trying to migrate some systems and I found that old scripts are breaking so I'd like to know what to expect from newer versions. The problem I'm encountering is that I can get a list of objects in a Folder objects = context.objectValues() and I can even sort them based on their titles objects.sort(sortby_title) but if I try to iterate through them with a for loop for object in objects: None I get an authorization error because one of them has "Access contents information" limited. This has been working well in older Zopes for a long time. Is it likely to work in 2.7.0 or should I think about downgrading? (I'm also having trouble with TransparentFolders in this version, so I'm about ready to give up on upgrades.) Thank you. --kyler
