Well, I said "allowing or installing". I wasn't sure if it was and with
allowing I meant by using allow_module or allow_class. I guess you can't
just use this module without removing security assertions. I will try to
confirm this.

Huh? You now state languages in the i18n domain. Don't you mean to
make this three times the same domain and then perhaps add the
i18n:target en/de/cs?

I upgraded to Zope 2.7.2 and all of my content can't be seen by Zope.
Honestly I'm not sure what the previous version I was running was (nor
am I sure how to find out).

Now, every page results in

Site Error
An error was encountered while publishing this resource.
Resource not found
Sorry, the requested resource does not exist.
Check the URL and try again.
Resource: Zope GET

There is effectively no more web interface.

I've verified that the database still seems to be there in
[instance]/var/Data.fs and hasn't been touched since the update.

I tried going through some of the steps in the Troubleshooting and
Debugging page
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZDG/current/TestingAndDebugging.stx

I can do a ZPublisher.Zope('/manage') in python and see that it returns
a "Resource not found" page.

Interestingly, my log which was being written to /var/log/zope started
writing to the default location after the install.

I feel like there isn't enough here to determine whether there is a bug
or whether I've mucked something up myself. But perhaps some gentle
guidance would help me determine whether there is a bug or just my own
ignorance.

Was there a config file that got overwritten in the update? Where would
it be?

Perhaps there are some clues in the lines written to the log file upon
startup.

Dear all,

I'm developing a biological database using Zope 2.6 and pgsql. Let me
explain my issue with an example. There is a menu called Drug in my
homepage, by clicking the menu the drug names along with their type in two
different columns get displayed in the body. I can do things till that. My
problem is , lets say there is a link called "Isoniazid" with all other
links(drug names) in it. When a user clicks one of the links as i said
before as "isoniazid" only the information about isoniazid has to be
retreived and displayed , likewise to all the other drug links. I have no
idea how to capture the click event and the data to be retrieved. Can
someone help. Thanks in advance.

And another query, how can i select text from a dropdown box. I just need
the data which is selected in the dropdown box and sent as query.

Thanks again.

If you upgrade then you should upgrade to the latest Zope version or at
least to the latest 2.7 version. What's the reason for picking just _some_
2.7 version? If you're application works then better stick with your
working solution. 2.7 is out-dated since a long. If you really want to
upgrade, then choose the latest 2.10 version.

This issue is basically not related to Zope. You can achieve your goal
using Javascript. I recommended looking at some elementary HTML and
Javascript tutorial.

Yes..using i18n:target (not in Zope 2.9.7 at least as no support there
:) ) with single domain can be much better approach. But honestly I am
just beginner in this i18n/L10n arena, so need to work on i18n/L10n
rules/standards.

Thank you,

Hi!

Actually I've two Plone "working envinronment" and one zope, each in a
different machine:

- one, with two zope 2.9 istances (one for developing), running both
multiple Plone 2.5 instances
- one, with zope 2.9, running multiple Plone 2.5 instances
- one, with zope 2.7.9, running zope only applications

We have bought "big iron" hardware now, where I can do almost
everything (with a fiber channel network storage, multiple rack servers).

tipically, I use one instance to develop, and one to deploy. This mean
different zope instances which shares only the base, and having
different products.

I would like to have an easy way to develop without having to be subject
to dependencies from other envinroment, minimize the effort to mantain
it and focus on doing things :)

Is one big zope installation, with multiple instances, well suited for
this tasks? Or is better different zope versions? What about the various
Data.fs, is better to have them separated by application or by zope
envinroment? I mean all the Plone in a single Data.fs or each one in a
separated Data.fs?

So, what is the best approach to migrate the three servers?

hi again,
Let me clarify what I am doing and what is my approach till
now.
We have a portal using which users use our compute resources.
In zope we use NIS authentication for validating a user.We
have many things that requires root/logged in user privledeges.One example
is of a 'file system explorer'.In this I have used ZFSpath product.This
explorer is used by users to navigate through their home areas and select
what ever file they want.As of now I have changed some functions of ZFSpath
class which I was using so that they can be executed as the logged in
user(since zope does not have rwx permissions on other user's
directory).This is just one case.Hope I have cleared myself well.

Yes, I wish it was. I believe that was one of the things I did in the
MailTemplates product: just make the standard python email package bits
available in Zope protected code.

Still, if Josef can't get products installed, he's limited to a world of
suck when it comes to email :-(

You are playing a mind numbingly dangerous game.

Good luck to you, but I hope people on this list refrain from further

In this particular example, python's email package has a very OO
approach to generating emails.

The DTML approach relies on you remembering to put in the right
statements for the right constituent email parts in the right places.
It's easy to make mistakes and generate emails that won't work with most
clients.

It's also harder to generate emails with the correct headers (Date,
Message-ID, etc) than it should be, so you're more likely to pump out
email that mtas consider to be spam.

The DTML approach also makes attaching files a living hell...

Chris

Maybe not exactly what you are asking for but I recommend you play
with buildout a bit - I'm sure you'll appreciate the ease with which
you can manage independent installations in a repeatable and easily
modifiable way.

Without further knowing how these sites might be related or not
this is hard to answer but often times I prefer to have separate
Zope instances (-> different ZODBs) for different Plone sites.
Even if they share substantial configuration/add-ons etc.
Again, using buildout makes it a snap to create and maintain
as many Zope instances as you want. And using a common buildout
cache they can also mostly share the basic installation.

Just my 2 cents,

What version of zope did you upgrade from?
What happens when you try to access any of the problem objects via the ZMI?

Thanks for the tips Chris and Dieter, I actually solved it in a very simple way:

from OFS.Image import File
from time import time
class MockFile(File):
""" This file works the same as a normal File expect that
in manage_edit() the internal modification time is set immediately.
Normally Zope objects get their internal modification set when
the transaction manager commits.
"""

def manage_edit(self, title, content_type, precondition='',
filedata=None, REQUEST=None):
# here's the mock hack, we set the _p_mtime NOW instead of letting
# the transaction manager do it at the end.
self._p_mtime = time()
return File.manage_edit(self, title, content_type,
precondition=precondition,
filedata=filedata, REQUEST=REQUEST)

This worked beautifully in the integration test. I'm happy.

Yes, that's what I hate from the dtml thing; it looks ugly :-(

Actually, I did several mistakes: first, if you include a blank line
just after finishing defining the email settings, ie: "To, From,
Content-Type, etc, you will get your email, but in a format that you
can't read.

The second problem was with the unicode: first I got the characters
wrong on the email subject, but on the mail's body were ok, then I
change something and got them good on the subject, but on the
body non-ascii characters were dropped. After lots of testing, I
finally saw that you have to define content-type everywhere: on the
mail headers and also on the text-mime contents. Then you have to
encode all your strings to utf-8.

> The DTML approach also makes attaching files a living hell...
Yep, I agree on this. You can't dynamically set the number of
attachments and even if you don't submit a file on your form, zope
will send an empty file with a strange name.

Well, I guess I will do an external method on my own server and then try
to convince the people owning the machine where the page is hosted to
include it. Otherwise, my last resouce would be to embebbed the content
on a iframe or call an external link to my server.

Thanks anyways for your replies.

Josef

Well, I should have mentioned this: the zope installed on the server is
2.8.x. Yes, it is old, but it is because all the page uses an own CMS
based on silva, which isn't compatible with newer versions.

I tried this:

import email

and it worked; however, as soon as I tried this:

from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
msg = MIMEText('Sending mail through python module')

or

import email
msg = email.MIMEText.MIMEText('Sending mail through python module')

An Unauthorized exception comes. So, I guess MIMEText is protected at
least on 2.8.x. But I guess in 2.11.x is protected as well, or am I
wrong?

Thanks for your reply. I guess there is no way of achieving what I want
on dtml, so, I will try to do it an external method and try to convince
people there to store it on the server or I will have to do it on my
own server and embebbed it on an iframe or call an external link.

Best regards
Josef

hi yuri,

when setting up a zope/zeo task and everything was still a bit of a
challenge (at least to me) we tended to have everything in one big
instance that served some 20 low traffic sites.
since then setting up a site with all the tools it needs has become a
trivially easy and quick to execute task. we have converted nearly all
these sites to have their own instance.

I would not do it differently anymore ..

>From your description I can't tell if you are already populating the
two column page from a database or if it is a static html page. If
I understand your issue correctly you can do all this with your
database. You may have to add more columns to provide the
interaction you need.

I have a similar situation with a three column subjects page
where clicking on each subject brings up a page with a list of
online databases and descriptions for each. Within each
description is a link to the online database.

Again, if I understand your issue, have your two column page be
created from a db that contains the a record number and the drug
name. That template can build a link based on the record number
to another template and the second template would query the
database for a description field or whatever.

so the first page would build its contents sorta like this.

<dtml-in get_drug _names>
<a href="http:/link/to/my/description/template/?my_recnum=<dtml-var drug_name_recnum>"><dtml-var my_drug_name></a>
</dtml-in>

same thing can be done in pagetemplates. You can see my example at

http://www.library.appstate.edu/vdb/subjectgeneral05.html

The list of subjects comes from a database and there are three select
statements to make the three columns, select the first third, second third,
and then the last third and use css. Each subject link to another template
that selects data from the main table based on subject table's related field.
And, on that second page you can narrow down the results by media type
such as book, newspaper, audio, etc. which is a field in the database title
table.

Let me know if I misinterpreted your request, as I get older this becomes
more frequent ;-)

If you click on a letter at the top you will see a list box on the right which uses
a javascript called jumpmenu and OnChange which should work or be close to
what you want. There is not an action attribute for the list box and no button, the
Javascript takes care of it.
