RE: [Zope] Quoting Text to valid HTML

Chris, The docs weren't very clear, and I didn't read them thoroughly. Stripogram seems to be what I was looking for. Thanks. My apologies for my earlier very much incorrect and premature email summary. And you're right, this question is not strictly Zope related. But Zope users tend to be savvy at both python and HTML. So it seems more logical for me to post the question on the Zope list rather than a python list. Also, I consider myself more of a Zope user than a python user... Thanks gain.

Posting to ZWiki using DTML?
by S. D. 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

Since the ZWiki.Org site appears to be down, maybe someone here can help me. I have a Plone 1.0.5 installation (Zope 2.6.1, Python 2.1.3 + email 2.5.4, Win 2k) in which I've created a simple "registration" page that allows us to collect a bit of info from our visitors before they download our software. Currently, the download page sends an email to our developers whenever a download takes place. But they want to see the download info in some more database-like format. It occurred to me that the easy thing to do would be to send the registration info to ZWiki. Then they could play with that customer info in the convenient Wiki way. My question is how can I post the output from my Zope DTML page to ZWiki via Zope (bypassing external email servers)? Here is my current DTML "registration" code: ----- <dtml-var standard_html_header>  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://my.server.org/val.js"> </script>  <script type="text/javascript"> order_check = { specifyinstitutionname: { verify: text, message: 'Please enter your institution name.' }, specifyusername: { verify: text, message: 'Please enter your name.' }, specifyuseremail: { verify: email, force: 1, message: 'Please enter a valid email address.' } }; </script> <h2><dtml-var title_or_id></h2> <h3>We want your feedback!</h3> <p>Please provide your contact information before downloading.</p> <p>We do not release this information to anyone else.</p>  <form onsubmit="return validate(this, order_check)" action="SendFeedback" method="post"> <table> <tr> <td> Institution name: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="institutionname" size="40"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Your name: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="username" size="40"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Your e-mail address: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="useremail" size="40"> </td> </tr> </table> <textarea name="comments" rows="10" cols="50"> Type your comments here. </textarea> <div style="cursor: default"> <input type="submit" value="Send Feedback"> </div> </form> <h4>Thank you!</h4> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ----- On the ZWiki side, I've enabled Mail In (as described at http://www.zwiki.org/WikiMail) but I don't know where to go from here. I could dispense with the email output entirely if there was a simple way to route this info through Zope. Any suggestions? Thanks! Scott

Wrapping a non-Zope site in Zope
by Etienne Labuschagne 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

Hi there, What is the best way to "wrap" another live site in a Zope page or serve it through Zope. I have a web-enabled mail site that I must plug into a client's Plone site. The client wants his employees to first log into their Plone portal before being able to log into their web enabled mail site. He might also want all of this to happen behind https in the end. So an employee will have to do two logins to get to his/her mail. The second phase will incorporate the mail site into the Plone skin, by stripping the <head> section from the mail server served pages and then plugging the body into the body slot of the Plone skin. My idea was for Zope to "pass on" the mail server served pages, somewhat like a reverse proxy. Maybe a reverse proxy is the answer, but how do I get the client to first log into the Plone portal before being able to log into the mail page. I have started writing a "proxy" object in Zope that takes the browser request, figures out which page to retrieve from the mail server with urllib, retrieve the page, and pass that back again, but it is a bit slow. It also leaves me with nasty work to do such as searching for urls on the mail server created pages and changing them to my "zope urls". In the end only one server serving on one port must be open to the internet. Any suggestions? Etienne

Zope and MS-Frontpage inter-operability
by Roberto Marabini 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

Hi, I am trying to use a site developed in MS front page. The problem is that Frontpage uses folders with underscores e.g. _themes , for storing images, css etc. Python (and therefore Zope) does not seem to allow folders (or any object in fact) to have a name that begins with an underscore. Has anybody successfully used Frontpage and publish it to a zope web server? Thanks for the help Roberto P.S: I apology in advance for mentioning frontpage in this forum

recommendations for image library product?
by Matt Carey 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

hi i'm looking at building a zope site for a friend of mine who is a photographer. the site will just be a gallery of the different types of work he has done over the years. he needs to be able to easily add images, and to put these into categories. ideally this would allow some form of predefined properties (and even better would be a way to add in a custom link to something like PayPal for each image -- he has a vast range of stock images he would like to try and make some money from). he is not at all computer-savvy so whatever i propose has to be very simple. and he's got hardly any budget, which is why i haven't gone for the custom build option. :) i've looked through some zope products but i wondered if anyone has any recommendations? or should i go the plone route (never done a plone site before)? matt

[OT] Subversion and TortoiseSVN on Windows
by Max M 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

I know that this is quite a bit off-topic, but I just thought I would share some experiences with Subversion. It is probably most interresting for other Zope developers on Windows. I am not in any way related to the Subversion project! I have developed products for Zope/Plone for a long time. It has mosty been custom products for different customers without too much overlap. But lately it has become easier to repurpose modules, mostly due to CMF/Plone frameworks and the common stylesheets etc. Copying products from one INSTANCE_HOME to another started to become a frail process. I needed to remember to manually copy back from one INSTANCE_HOME to the first when I made updates to shared products. And didn't I also update the same file because of another bug I found in a third INSTANCE_HOME? Off course I know CVS, and I knew that this was a good job for it. But I am mostly working on Windows, and as far as I know CVS runs poorly on Windows. To quote from http://www.cvshome.org/dev/codewindow.html: """ The second way is known as "local" or "non-client/server" CVS. This lets you run CVS if you have only Windows machines. However, due to issues (a) with local CVS on Windows, and (b) with the suitability of Windows as a server operating system in general, we would generally recommend this more to try out CVS and get a feel for it rather than for production use. """ I use Linux on some servers, but for various reasons I am more interrested in setting up the Versioning server on my Windows workstation. I remembered trying to install CVS on Windows in the past without succes, and I also remembered Subversion being mentioned on /. a few times. So I looked around and found Subversion at http://subversion.tigris.org/: """ Subversion is meant to be a better CVS, so it has most of CVS's features. Generally, Subversion's interface to a particular feature is similar to CVS's, except where there's a compelling reason to do otherwise. """ So I thought I would give it a go. It also has Python bindings, and I mean, anything with Python bindings is great as we know. It installed on Windows without a problem, and there is a nice client for it: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ that integrates with the windows explorer. So for a while I have been using it to keep version controll on my Zope/Python/Plone projects, and it works like a charm. It even feels like a Windows product. It took me around a days work to get up and running from scratch with my most important software put under versioning controll. regards Max M

If I'm running Zope 2.6.4, should I expect to be able to use WEBDAV ? Port 8088 is not open so does this suggest it is not available? -- John
