We're using it successfuly to allow users to upload documents to our company Intranet. Our Intranet has > 10,000 docs (well over a gigabytes worth) and a handful of users maintaining them and adding new ones. They do this via webdrive. Some have v5 (we havent seen a reason to upgrade them yet) and some have v6 (they got new PCs and we had to reinstall webdrive so we just used v6). We have had some problems - for some reason some docs simply don't upload or download very well (and no its not because the filename had an '&' or something in it) but overall it works extremely well. We're running Zope 2.6.2 -----Original Message----- From: zope-bounces@zope.org [mailto:zope-bounces@zope.org]On Behalf Of Paul Browning Sent: Wednesday, 26 May 2004 3:35 PM To: Zope List Subject: [Zope] WebDrive V6 (&5?) and Zope Question: Is anyone using Webdrive V5 or V6 successfully with Zope? Either I'm missing something obvious or WebDrive V6 (and V5?) has become broken with Zope. Everything used to work for me with WebDrive V3 and V4. The following observations were made against Zope 2.7.0. The problem: You connect via WebDrive but you can't see any objects in the right hand pane of Windows Explorer. This happens for both anonymous and authenticated users (I even briefly granted the anonymous users every Zope permission - still no success). If you Show Monitor in WebDrive you see a problem: Connecting to http://zopebox.bris.ac.uk ...

Any insights appreciated.

Tim: That's a great help. I've just managed to find WebDrive V4.1 to re-install - and it all works fine against Zope 2.7.0. Looks as though I'll be installing Zope 2.6.2 next .... and seeing if I can reproduce my WebDrive V5/6 problems with that.

Keep in mind that 2.6.4 has a bunch of security and other fixes vs. 2.6.2. E.g. 2.6.2 contains a filestorage pack bug that can lose data. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

What objects should these documents become? Can you elaborate on "don't upload or download very well"? Are there any errors? Something, somewhere may be throwing an exception... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
