ANN: Squishdot -- a slashdot-clone Zope Product
Hi ya all, After some sanity-checking by a small group of testers, Squishdot - a slashdot-clone Zope product, is now ready to be downloaded, commented on, its tires kicked and its innards poked around. It's available at the following url: http://members.tripod.com/squishdot/index.html Some caveats, however : 1) it's very early alpha-software. It's still probably got some big bugs lying around, waiting to pounce on 'ya. I'm releasing it to a larger group hoping to get more bug reports. Start sending them to squishdot@yahoo.com. 2) it works best if you have Ty Sarna's TinyTable Zope product installed. It works with both the original TinyTable product (ver. 0.7.3) as well as the TinyTable beta2 (ver. 0.8.2) 3) it has been tested with Zope 1.10.2 (stable release). It can also work with later versions, including Zope2, but you need to patch your TinyTable product to make to the fancy demo options work. The following url: http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/5991.html? can give you some guidance on how to patch it (TinyTable) to work with Zope2/ZODB3. Lastly, thanks to the group of testers for testing the early release candidates of Squishdot. Your bug reports have helped me improve the product immensely. Thanks specially to Michael Bernstein for the Zope2/ZODB3 test. Best Regards, Butch Landingin butchland@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Methinks I found a bug! When running SquishDot with Apache the urls are not getting set correctly for internal links. I think the problem is in the 'site_url' method. I haven't got time to look at a fix for the moment, but hope it should be easy enough to fix 8^) See ya Phil phil@philh.org ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Harris <phil@philh.org> To: Butch Landingin <butchland@yahoo.com>; <zope@zope.org>; Tony McDonald <tony.mcdonald@ncl.ac.uk> Sent: Thursday, June 10, 1999 10:30 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] ANN: Squishdot -- a slashdot-clone Zope Product

It does look like the fix should be in that method. Fiddling with it got the banner ad working, but most of the other failing links still failed. My own Zope URL prefix happens to be the same as SCRIPT_NAME, 'Zope', is this a general pattern or am I just lucky? I was trying to figure out which of the REQUEST variables contained the address of the site along with the Zope prefix that's used in many Apache rewrite rule setups. Regards, Martijn
Try substituting BASE1 for BASE0 for the value of the base var in the site_url method (which is defined TWICE - the second one had me guessing and wondering about my sanity for a while !) in squishdot.py - this fixed it for me here using 1.10.2 under apache Fantastic product. Great example of what can be done. <375fb2e4.90749a6-@pop.vet.uu.nl> wrote: Original Article: http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/?start=6025
