2.6.4 vs 2.7.0
by Daniel Mahler 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

What is the difference between 2.6.4 and 2.7.0? They were released on the same day and as far as I know Zope does not use the odd/even release convention. thanks D

Querying Unknown Properties
by Murray Pearson 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

Newbie question here: How does one go about discovering the attributes and attribute names of an unknown object? At the moment I'm building a MySQL database with a Zope front end. My client will be storing Microsoft Word documents in the system (it's a management tool for academic reviews of submissions to a journal). I have a blob field in the manuscript database, and I can add in fields for MIME type and such if needed; but all the information I have on the file once it's uploaded is <ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 0x3d3188cc> Now, this would be all fine and well if I knew what the properties and methods supported by the FileUpload object were, but I don't and I can't find documentation of that; I also tried iterating through the object to see if I could coax the information out that way: <table border> <tr tal:repeat="theFile container/REQUEST/Manuscript_File> <td tal:content="repeat/theFile/name">property name</td> <td tal:content="repeat/theFile/item">property data</td> </tr> </table> but it says the object does not support iteration. So: I guess I have two questions: (1) how can one determine the data and properties of an uploaded file? (2) how can one determine the properties of an arbitrary object? TIA! Murray

Uploading large number of files
by Ed Leafe 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

OK, I've got a whole bunch of HTML files (900+) I need to import into a site. The site uses page templates, and I've massaged the files to replace their existing headers with METAL-compliant headers, with all the fill-slots properly created. Now all I need to do is FTP them to the Zope server - piece of cake, right? Except that all the HTML files get created as DTML Documents! How can I configure things so that HTML files get created as Page Templates instead of DTML documents? Failing that, can I convert these in the ZODB to the desired type? ___/ / __/ / ____/ Ed Leafe Linux Love: unzip;strip;touch;finger;mount;fsck;more;yes;umount;sleep

2.7.0 RO Database
by Roy Rapoport 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

When we started playing with 2.7.0, I noticed there was the capability in zope.conf to specify "open *that* Data.fs" and there was verbiage about opening data.fs in RO mode. I was hoping that this would mean, potentially, that we could have our live QA site running on the older Zope and then have a read-only 2.7.0 version of that site that would just magically open the same Data.fs in RO mode. Is that possible? I've not been able to make it work here. -roy Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" ------------------------------------------------- PLEASE READ THIS WARNING: Investment in securities involves the risk of loss.

ZClasses. Temporary Folders, and copying
by Marcin Wudarczyk 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

Hi! When I copy an folder from Temporary Folder to a normal, persistent folder, after copying ZClasses objects contained in the copied folder become unrecognized: "This object is broken because the unknown product that created it is no longer installed or is installed incorrectly. Please contact the product maintainer for assistance. Note that the data associated with this product has not been lost, and will be accessible again if the product is reinstalled." Of course, the ZClass object is still in the Control_Panel and the source objects display ok. Maybe the problem is that when I moved to Zope 2.7.0. I simply copied my database files from var to the new installation directory. Is there any better way to do this? I would appreciate any ideas. Marcin Wudarczyk http://mar.prv.pl

how to configure Zope to use Python 2.3.3
by Rod Thorburn 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

I am running Zope 2.6.3 (binary release) on win2k, which by default installs Python 2.1.3 . However, I wish to use Python 2.3.3 and I can't see how to 'swap' Python instances. Apologies for the apparent naivety of this question. I am new Zope, obviously. Regards Rod

I guess I answered my own question, found this: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.7.0rc2/HISTORY.txt Which claims #275 was fixed in 2.6.0 alpha 1 Guess I have to upgrade. Oh well, it was bound to happen. I'm just always in shock when I find a real bug. Cheers, Terry -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com
