ZMI fonts
by John Poltorak 07 Mar '04

07 Mar '04

Are the fonts in the ZMI configurable? I'd like to use a smaller size in many instaces so that I can get more text on the screen to save paging up and down which can take quite a while when you're doing it a lot. -- John

ANN: Epoz 0.8.0 released
by Maik Jablonski 07 Mar '04

07 Mar '04

Hi, I've just released Epoz 0.8.0, which brings some often requested features (anchors, relative urls) and some fixes for the upcoming Plone-2-release. Epoz is a cross-browser wysiwyg-editor for Zope & Plone & CPS & etc.pp.. Epoz works with current IE & Mozilla-based browsers and can easily be integrated into own applications. Download Epoz at: http://mjablonski.zope.de/Epoz Demo for Epoz (sorry, still 0.7.4, no time to update yet...;): http://www.zfl.uni-bielefeld.de/personal/mjablonski/epoz Just a personal note: Some people are still irritated about another project called Epoz(NG) (with major release numbers). EpozNG is a kind of fork of Epoz (with minor release numbers), but should be considered as a new project which only shares the name with the former Epoz and will be renamed soon. Development will go on for Epoz and EpozNG. CHANGES 0.8.0 - added support for uTidylib (http://utidylib.sourceforge.net/) Thanks to Shane Hathaway from Zope Corporation for his patches!!! Please note: there are still some problems with UTF8; maybe someone can provide a patch? - rearranged the Javascript so that it's not necessary to "auto"-switch to source mode when saving. Thanks again to Shane Hathaway from Zope Corporation for his patches!!! - added pageurl-parameter to Epoz; pageurl defines the base url of the edited page. The pageurl is forwarded to Epoz(Post)Tidy, so you can rewrite urls according to the given base url. **PLEASE NOTE:** You must add an additional parameter if you use EpozPostTidy-Hooks in your applications. - added support for adding anchors; works very nice with Mozilla, IE doesn't show the css-styles. IE is crap anyway... Thanks to Christian Theune from Gocept for his patches!!! - added global support (EpozGetRelativeUrl) for calculating relative urls from absolute urls; Thanks to Gilles Lenfant for this feature! Please see README.txt for how to enable this feature. - added simple example for EpozPostTidy-Hook to README.txt. - added danish-translation; thanks to Nikolay Kim!!! - fixed bug: IE couldn't handle anchors; added base-tag to epoz_blank_iframe.html. Thanks to Stefanie Panke pointing me to this problem. - changed default height of the edit form in Plone to be a more sensible 450px (limi). - removed annoying pop-up saying "Your browser does not support XML-RPC" from the JS. If it doesn't, we degrade anyway - no reason to insult the user. ;) (limi) - fixed epoz_toolbox to use 'sanctioned' calls for meta_types. Thanks to Marc Lindahl for patch!!! - wysiwyg_support was causing a wierd error when used inside CMFBoard sometimes (Attribute Error: meta_type). Traced it to test of text_format. test() evaluates both true and false branches. Restructured it to fix the problem. Thanks to Marc Lindahl for patch!!! - fixed tabindex for Plone (limi) - added class="visualFontSizeCorrection" to body-tag of epoz_blank_iframe.html; mostly needed for displaying correct font-sizes for the wysiywg-area in Plone 2.0. Please note: To use this with older Plones, add visualFontSizeCorrection { font-size:75%; } to your ploneCustom.css (limi) - synced default wysiwyg_support with Plone 2.0. Thanks to all people who provided patches & ideas! Keep zoped, Cheers, Maik

4 instances in zope/debian (newbie)
by Jonas Meurer 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

hello, I just started with zope and for now i'm quite happy with the packages in debian/testing. The instance 'default' was automaticly created at initial install, and after creating the access file with an emergency user, zope started nicely. now i'm first time confronted with the problem to setup more than one instances, and i've absolutely no glue about how to manage this. there exists this package 'zopectl' which is described as helper for managing more instances, but it seems like the zope package itself normally starts/stops all the instances, and for now that's ok. but how to create a new instance? I finally need 4 different instances with own import/products folder, and own http/webdav ports. the docs in debian describe zopectl to create a new instance with the 'create' respective 'init' instance, where create is depreciated because it also creates pcgi files, which aren't needed normally (and in my case). but anyway, this doesn't help since 'zopectl init <instancename>' doesn't do anything, neither creating the instance-own files nor giving any (error) output. in #zope on freenode someone pointed me to a python script called zmakeinstance.py or something like that, but I'm definitely not able to find this script in the zope relating packages, and so it will not debian-compliant out of the box. but apart from that, isn't there a smart and easy way of creating additional zope instances in debian? maybe simply adding new instances to the configfiles /etc/zopectl/zopectlrc and /etc/zopectl/default.conf and creating /var/lib/zope/instance/<instancename> reaches? additional, i'dd like to know if it's possible to rename the default instance. maybe just renaming the folder /var/lib/zope/instance/default and substituting the instancename in /etc/zopectl/* is all? would be nice if someone could point me to the right docs or give me some hints about how to get this managed. bye jonas ps: a cc: to my private mail would be nice since i'm subscribed to and reading a lot of lists.

batching in python scripts?
by Julian Gollop 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

Is there any way to use the dtml batch processing and associated variables (sequence-start, etc.) from within a python script? Or do I have to program it myself? I like the DTML batch processing functionality because it is comprehensive and easy to use, but unfortunately I need to use python scripts.

problem with checkPermission or viewThreadsAtBottom?
by Marc Lindahl 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

Is there something going on with checkPermission or viewThreadsAtBottom that changed from either zope 2.6.2 to 2.7.0 or from plone from 2.0RC5 to 2.0RC6? Someone sent me this error traceback. The product works under zope 2.6.2, cmf 1.4.2, plone 2.0rc5. When I try to add a new CMFAudio object to 'My Folder', it returns the following error: Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 100, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 40, in call_object Module Products.CMFCore.FSDTMLMethod, line 141, in __call__ Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 474, in __call__ Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 320, in __render_with_namespace__ Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 343, in _bindAndExec Module Products.CMFCore.FSPageTemplate, line 191, in _exec Module Products.CMFCore.FSPageTemplate, line 124, in pt_render Module Products.PageTemplates.PageTemplate, line 96, in pt_render - <FSPageTemplate at /test/viewThreadsAtBottom used for /test/Members/admin/Audio.2004-03-04.3710375980> Module TAL.TALInterpreter, line 189, in __call__ Module TAL.TALInterpreter, line 233, in interpret Module TAL.TALInterpreter, line 642, in do_defineMacro Module TAL.TALInterpreter, line 233, in interpret Module TAL.TALInterpreter, line 459, in do_setLocal_tal Module Products.PageTemplates.TALES, line 220, in evaluate - Line 6, Column 0 - Expression: <PythonExpr checkPermission('Reply to item', here)> - Names: {'container': <PloneSite instance at 9986830>, 'context': <CMFAudio at /test/Members/admin/Audio.2004-03-04.3710375980>, 'default': <Products.PageTemplates.TALES.Default instance at 0x8a2c9cc>, 'here': <CMFAudio at /test/Members/admin/Audio.2004-03-04.3710375980>, 'loop': <SafeMapping instance at acb70f0>, 'modules': <Products.PageTemplates.ZRPythonExpr._SecureModuleImporter instance at 0x8a25e8c>, 'nothing': None, 'options': {'args': ()}, 'repeat': <SafeMapping instance at acb70f0>, 'request': <HTTPRequest, URL=http://216.93.188.205:8080/test/Members/admin/Audio.2004-03- 04.3710375980/audioView>, 'root': <Application instance at 99493b0>, 'template': <FSPageTemplate at /test/viewThreadsAtBottom used for /test/Members/admin/Audio.2004-03-04.3710375980>, 'traverse_subpath': [], 'user': admin} Module Products.PageTemplates.ZRPythonExpr, line 47, in __call__ - __traceback_info__: checkPermission('Reply to item', here) Module Python expression "checkPermission('Reply to item', here)", line 1, in <expression> NameError: name 'checkPermission' is not defined

ZopeTestCase and INSTANCE_HOME
by zope＠netchan.cotse.net 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Zope 2.7, ZTC 0.8.6 When framework.py imports the Testing package, INSTANCE_HOME is overwritten. More precisely it happens in lib/python/Testing/__init__.py: ---------------------------------------------------- cfg = App.config.getConfiguration() # Set the INSTANCE_HOME to the Testing package directory cfg.instancehome = os.path.dirname(__file__) # Make sure this change is propogated to all the legacy locations for # this information. App.config.setConfiguration(cfg) ---------------------------------------------------- os.getenv("INSTANCE_HOME") will be <zope_installation>/lib/python/Testing after this, regardless of its original value. Is there any way to prevent ZTC and/or the Testing package from doing this? Regards, Sandor

ZODB Conflict Error
by Kevin Carlson 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Hi all, Every two minutes exactly, a ZODB conflict error is being logged in my zope event log file. After googling for what a ZODB Conflict Error actually is, I still don't have enough information to actually solve this problem. Below is one of the sample records: 2004-03-05T08:30:45 INFO(0) ZODB conflict error at /VirtualHostBase/http/www.site.com:80/Conf/PSCAD/VirtualHostRoot/ (267 conflicts since startup at 2004-03-04T22:02:21) The site itself is operating fine, but I noticed that the log file was getting rather large and looked into it only to find a huge amount of messages like the one above. From what I understand this type of error is caused when two threads attempt to write to a common object. Since this site is simply serving up information and doesn't allow any content edits, I'm a bit confused on how this is happening. All of the conflict error messages in the event log are identical to the one above (except for the date/time/count info). Any ideas as to what is causing this? Thanks, Kevin

Hi, What might cause the following error while starting zope with zopectl script? I compiled python 2.3.3 with threads.
