(newbie)-Calling in Multiple Selection from a Z-Class
by Ben 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

# I have a Z-Class called animals with a multiple selection for animal_catagories # I call in each member of the Z-class: <dtml-with AnimalDirectory> <dtml-in expr="objectValues()"> <dtml-if "meta_type==' Animal"> # For testing: <dtml-var id> has <dtml-var animal_catagories> # Which gives me "Horse is ['hooved','brown','horsey'] as these are the values that I have given to the horse instance # I then have: <dtml-if expr="REQUEST['hooved'] == _['animal_categories'][0]"> <dtml-var id> is a <dtml-var hooved> animal </dtml-if> # Which gives me Horse is a hooved animal. Which is great! # Except this is only checking for the first value. If hooved were the second value chosen in the multiple select list, then this would not show. This is obvious because of the [0] # What I am trying to do is to compare hooved with each of the animal categories to see if it has been chosen. If I use a <dtml-in animal_catagories> with or without ''s, then it tells me that I can't call in a string. # Could anyone please help me, or point me in the right direction? Thanks, Ben

Protect subobjects/subtemplates
by fowlertrainer＠anonym.hu 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hello ! I want to protect my Zope files, and objects from anybody to see them, or get the structure of my site. The problem is that: The site is like this: root index_html folder1 > many subobjects folder2 > many subobjects folder3 > many subobjects folderN > many subobjects I want to handle all of the requests with one file, the index_html. So: http://root or http://root/index_html is valid, every other request is invalid. Because the site have many objects, I use subfolders to separate them. But I don't want to anybody stranger see these folders, or the objects in in. Now if I write this: http://root/folder1 then the Zope don't drop an error message, but search for the root's index_html, and load it. It is not too good for me. Or it is trying: http://%root%/MS_BuildLeftMenu // this is an zpt object, a subcomp and the Zope is evaluate this object for the outer request. So: Have the Zope an object property what prevent these effects ? I want to create perfect handled site, and I don't want to anybody access subcomponents/subobjects/subresults, and get the site structure or an information about working methods. I want to use this site with one public main script, what call the subobjects that hided from the outer requests. How can I do that ? Thanx: KK -- Best regards, fowlertrainer mailto:fowlertrainer@anonym.hu

RE: [Zope] MySQL Threading
by Jim Kutter 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I don't think threads are the answer here. I think what most people do is load a page with an animated gif that animates a waiting icon or something, and that page then calls (via JS or something I guess, I don't know if a response.redirect call would work there) another page which does the heavy lifting. Then the browser sits and waits for the queries to finish, and when they do, it loads the new page. No threads, no fuss :) Please note though that I've been meaning to try this, so my suggestion has yet to be tested... ;) -jim -----Original Message----- From: Ralph vd Houdt [mailto:ralph@ezcompany.nl] Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 9:36 AM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] MySQL Threading Hi All, I'm currently writing an application in which an report-page is based on a heavy SQL query. The query runs about 15 seconds (the result will be stored in a session). For this reason I want to create a waiting page which checks if the SQL query has finished running. Does anybody know if I can run the SQL query in a separate thread and redirect to the report-page when the query has finished (by polling the thread). The results will be read from the session and used in the report-page. Any clues?

Zope Roadmap
by Andre Meyer 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi Zopers While developing with Zope 2.6.2 and Python 2.3.2 in different projects I was wondering what the state of future releases of Zope would be. Zope 2.7 is promised to support Python 2.3 which would be nice. Zope 3's component architecture would be even nicer! Looking at the information at http://dev.zope.org/Projects/ it is not clear how far the coming releases are. For example I read: "Zope 2.7 is tentatively planned to be released in Q1 2003.". Were they missing the year? Can somebody give an up-to-date indication of what we can expect when? Any help needed? ;-) thanks and kind regards André

Using shared sessions objets
by Thierry Florac 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, I want to store "pre-generated" HTML code, common for all my site's visitors, in a shared "session" object. Until now, I was using the ZSession product and it's "Application" object, but I have several problems with this component (on Solaris, when I lock the application and delete an item, I frequently receive a core dump !!!). I've started to look at the new Zope-2.6.1 session machinery, but I didn't found anywhere how to store data into a shared session object. Could anyone help ??? I don't thing that storing a "common" file in a temp folder would be very efficient... Thanks, Thierry

Zope instance question
by Sean Duffy 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

How would I go about running 3 separate zope instances from a single install with three instance directories in /var/zope-sites? I am not using Apache and installed wo_pcgi.py I can start the primary zope install w/o problems, so I know it works. However I can't seem to point to the instance anywhere in the startup scripts. I'm beginning to suspect that running multiple instances is a w_pcgi/Apache thing, and hoping that's not the case. TIA, Sean swduffy(a)unmc.edu
