[Zope] Re: use Data.fs from mountpoint B to "populate" mountpoint A - how?
Please send all Zope related questions to a Zope related mailing list and not to me privately. Usually, I do not answer questions sent to me privately! I added "zope@zope.org".

Actually, the mount-point syntax is much more complex than the form you use above. Among others, it supports mount-point mount-path:storage-path "mount-path" describes how you reach the mount point in the mounting application and "storage-path" how you find the mounted object from the storage root. An example would be: mount-point /F1/F2/XXX:/S1/XXX Note that the last component in both paths *MUST* be identical (otherwise, Zope's url construction no longer works with URL traversal). Usually, the "storage-path" will look like "/XXX" (where "XXX" is some id (without '/')). If "storage-path" is not given, it defaults to "mount-path" (this explains why you do not see anything in your storage). To summarize: * always explicitely give a storage path * use a storage path of the form "/" * then you can mount the storage at different places *BUT* you must never mount with a different id (the mount point must have the same id as that of the mounted object). -- Dieter ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] Zope Install Best Practice - Newbie Questions
Russel, we do install our zope/plone instances in a simmilar way you did. in addition to the steps you described we the do the following - make Zope-2.7 and Zope-2.8 a softlink to the respective source directory and then create the instances from the Zope-2.X/bin directory. the mkzope/zeoinstance scripts create startupscripts with hardcoded paths. With ZopeX a softlink you can easily make updates to minor new zope releases for all your instances - in the zopeusers homedirectory we have a Products directory where we have all the products installed. In the instances/Product folders we then link to them. Again we have Plone-1/2/2.1 links pointing to the respective Releases, so we can make minor Plone updates without hassle. robert Russell Winter wrote: Folks, First post from a real newbie, I have currently got Zope installed under a test server and would like to ensure that I get things right for our production environment.

If, as Mark asked, different users with different access privileges
have different roles, then how about writing a condition (TALES
expression) for the View action of your content type? Something along
the lines of
python: member and (member.has_role('Accountant') and
context.category=='financial') or (member.has_role('Editor') and
context.category=='other')
Don't quote me on the exact expression, though, you should test that.

In the past I've read blurbs about OpenFlow, ReFlow, and a Google search today turned up those and Metaflow and some others. However, many of them are dead-ends. Openflow's site is a 404 Not Found (in Italian) Metaflow: a 2002 article on ZopeMag sounded interesting, but no link to the software and I can't find it. Plus, old posts on this list make it sound problematic. Reflow turned into CMFOpenflow, which was a fork of Openflow? JaWE2Openflow sounded interesting, but the links are 404 Not Found. Is CMF(DC)Workflow my best option? My application would most likely *not* need other CMF tools, I might want it as a straight Zope 2 application.

[Zope] ZCatalog: searching where on index == another index
Hi all, Is there a way to search for all the records where one indexed field equals another indexed field? Equivalent SQL query would be: SELECT * FROM table WHERE field1 = field2 I know I can get all the unique values for field1 and then do a search for records where field2 = [unique field1 values], but isn't there a better way?

I am thinking of using a Z Database Connection (mysql) from within an external method, without using Z SQL Methods, but can't figure out how i can "safely" do it Calling a "DA" object gives you a low level connection object (a "db" object). It has a "query" method. Calling it provides "safe" SQL execution. Thanks, this is what i had in mind. >From other posts, I understood that you want to do special things. Yes, this is true. In such cases, reading the source is necessary Yes, i know. But this would take me much more time than sending an email to the Zope list and getting quick help from experienced Zopistas, time that i unfortunately cannot afford. Of course, reviewing product code on other cases wasn't such a big overhead and i got my task done. -- and being prepared that things may change between releases... Of course... :-) I follow the recommendation of others to use ZSQL methods... I am loading the zodb in read-only mode. If someone breaks into Zope (which btw i believe to be very secure) i don't want him to be able to directly access (read/write) the database i am using. *AFAIK*, ZSQLMethods won't do for this.
