Of course the adapter provides IReadFile, no IReadDirectory). I still can't make this to get CSV files instead of folder on WebDAV. ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
[Zope3-Users] Menus
I am curious what methods people use to implements simple web site menus? It seems to be this must be a common task. So far I've done this as follows: 1. Create a skin 2. Create a content type Menu as Ordered Container 3. Create a content type MenuItem as contained by Menu 4. Add a Menu and fill it with MenuItems 4. Register Menu 5. Create a macro which returns the Menu using zapi.getUtility() 6. Use the macro in the skin, and display all the MenuItems. -- David ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

I've been successful with the browser:menu... directives in zcml. The following, as part of my browser/configure.zcml file, actually creates an IBrowserMenu utility with a name of myMenu. I have another set of menuItems for the same menu for different interfaces, so the same named menu has different items at different parts of the site. I find it handy to have this configuration in the same file where I configure the names of the pages. !-- name the menu -- browser:menu id=myMenu title=Main menu / !-- MAIN MENU -- browser:menuItems menu=myMenu for=..interfaces.IMainInterface browser:menuItem title=Main Page action=/index.html permission=zope.Public / browser:menuItem title=About Us action=aboutus.html permission=zope.Public / /browser:menuItems - Jim Washington ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
Re: [Zope3-Users] Infrastructure Requirements?
Let's say that we take HA out of the equation Well, okay, but I thought that was the point of this discussion? ;-) Perhaps it will be in a few years ...

Are you storing all your data in a relational database? Is someone else running a caching web proxy in front of you? What we're trying to build is a Zope3 app that will help us track and document various workflows throughout the company. The plan is to have most of the data stored in *other* systems (MSSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL... with significantly less (administrative stuff mostly) kept in the ZODB. There will already be an Apache server in place on another machine through which all Zope3 traffic will flow... (is that the right answer?) H.A. and such wasn't really the road I was expecting to go down ... not until later on, at least. I'm sorry if my original inquiry seemed to indicate this. The app will be used by *maybe* 50 concurrent users. What kind of usage are they each up to? Just reading? Lots of modifying objects? Are they authenticated? If so, how? Again, where you store your data makes a difference here... I'll try to address this, but it's just speculation at this stage. If the app works and we decide to keep moving ahead with Zope3, the answer could be radically different in as little as 6 months.

RE: [Zope3-Users] Infrastructure Requirements?
We use Dell servers exclusively and a combination of CentOS (free) and Red Hat Enterprise (commerically supported). I suppose it depends on whether you're really attached to Ubuntu. We've had a good experience with Red Hat's commercial offerings and support ourselves. I believe Dell Red Hat play nice with each other on a certification level also. We haven't had any problems anyways. You should be able to find many options to support your Linux installations, regardless of the chosen hardware. This page suggests the Canonical support isn't bound to Sun platforms: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid It just so happens Ubuntu is certified for Sun hardware, that's all. All in all, it's understandable, if using Sun hardware with Ubuntu appeases the powers that be, go ahead. Another option is Dell + Red Hat. There are other combinations I'm sure that could give you the same kind of formal confidence. And they should all run Zope just fine too, of course! (Just to stay on topic ...)

Re: [Zope3-Users] Re: IContainer as IReadFile in WebDav
Hi Alek, Which webdav component are you using. zope.app.dav or zope.webdav?

Of course the adapter provides IReadFile, no IReadDirectory). I still can't make this to get CSV files instead of folder on WebDAV. WebDAV doesn't use a IReadFile adapter to access files. WebDAV is just an extension to HTTP so you must define the default view for your IPlot object to return your CSV file. In order to tell Excel (I am going to assume this works with Excel but I know it works with OpenOffice and other WebDAV clients but I haven't tried it with Excel) that your IPlot objects are files - you need to override the DAV:resourcetype property and specify a None value for this property. The only other WebDAV properties that I think you may also need to change are the DAV:getcontenttype and DAV:getcontentlength to their respective values for the CSV file. With zope.webdav it is as easy as writing a multi adapter from (IPlot, IHTTPRequest) - zope.webdav.coreproperties.IDAVResourceType to override the DAV:resourcetype propertry and for DAV:getcontenttype you write an adapter from (IPlot, IHTTPrequest) - zope.webdav.coreproperties.IDAVGetcontenttype.
