I'm screwed without TransparentFolder. I *really* need to get that working.
I don't think I can stress quite how awful it would have been for me to lose TransparentFolder. It would ruin a lot of people's weeks. I received this help after heading in to work to revive an old server that I hoped would have an old Zope package on it. ('course I couldn't recall the password...)
I suspect I need to downgrade to a 2.4.x Zope. Anyone know where there's a Debian package of it?
The TransparentFolder-Patch does definitely work with 2.5.1 and even with 2.6.
Wonderful! I needed to know that. I was warned that it could just stop working at any time, so I've been a little gun shy.
Perhaps you just have to apply the patch again (follow the instructions that come with TransparentFolder).
Of course! I recall now that there was something that had to be done. Now I see it. All better! Thank you!!! BTW, the problem was that I have a hacked up ImageTag_Hotfix from long ago. (It scales, rotates and extracts EXIF data from images.) For some reason it didn't return a zero value upon completing its initialization. That wasn't a problem until tonight. It took some sleuthing to figure out that it needed that. In doing so, I blew away the OFS directory (along with everything else) several times. I kept a copy of the Products directory, but I didn't think about needing to restore something in OFS. Lessons learned...if I'm going to delegate system admin. responsibilities to someone else, I need to make sure he's around when I feel like trying out something new. (I was hoping I could upgrade to the new ZWiki from 0.9.5 without it breaking all of my old pages. I've been trying out each version with my fingers crossed for awhile.) Also, *wow!* being able to get support from the other side of the world is sooooo nice at this hour. (It's 2AM here in California/5AM where the server is.) I continue to be amazed when I think of how users of proprietary software live. Thank you! Off to bed now... --kyler
