Weird-ish things with new Zope install on Win32...
Hello Zopistas. I downloaded and installed the latest stable version of Zope for Win32. I immediately fired it up, connected to localhost:9673 and played. Sheer brilliance! I'm totally wowed (I notice you lot don't go for the <0.5 wink> thing over here so I'll try and refrain). The main weird thing that I noticed is that the HTTP server is disastrously slow if the remote IP doesn't have a DNS map. I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this. Is there a quick way to stop a remote lookup on IPs? Now on to the real problem. I found the tree control and added it to the standard HTML header. Very nice. Then I found the sexy-with-images tree over at zdp.zope.org, fired up a session, and tweaked my #var sidebar which is what I called the tree. The new tree worked just fine on the opening index_html method but each index_html document in sub folders didn't work. I'd either get a 'Sorry, an error occured' or a space in the table where the tree should be and no tree. So then I commited the session thinking maybe that would help. Oh dear. Good job I'm testing, eh? Thanks for any insight. Did I royally, unintentionally screw something up or did I stumble across a known issue/bug/whatever they call it where you are. Another thought: While I have your ears, I feel like there is a tremendous amount of power in Zope that I'm just not getting. The zdp does a wonderful job of explaining what it explains (nice HOWTO's) but I'm either really dopey or I can't find the meat of the Zope documentation. I can't even remember how I stumbled on the tree control in the first place. What else is burried in there that's awesome but out of my sight? Don't get me wrong, I'm not bitching. I'm just a little disoriented in this whizzy new world and need a map. Cheers, Jules -- Codito, ergo sum.
Hi Jules, Yes, HTTPServer is slow. If you use ZServer, everything will be OK. Tomorrow I'll launch a new website where you can find more info on that. Look at ZBook in ZDP for more information about Zope. Regards, Tom.

Check out the Global Tree-Tag navigation Howto at: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/HowTo/DTML/treetag Also check out the other Howto's, they're very helpful. Hope this helps, Michael Bernstein.

It does. A lot. I was missing the expr="PARENTS[-1]" thang.

Or RTFM in less polite circles :-) . Thanks for the pointers. Jules

Well, the actual meat would still be on www.zope.org proper in the documentation section. But granted there is a lot that isn't documented yet or not documented fully. If you are interested in contributing do join the ZDP! :)

We're working on one. Anyway, I'm glad us ZDP people were useful to you! Regards, Martijn

Documentation is like typography: when it's done right, it's virtually invisible. You think of a question and the next paragrph answers it! As this is about my fifth hour playing with Zope, I'll hold off on volunteering anything right now :-) I'm guessing that zdp.zope.org has volunteer info all over the place. Cheers, Jules
