I take that back in the previous mail to Steve about the large table. We

What you describe is true: Zope will not start sending the page until
it is finished calculating. If one bit of your page takes a long time
to calculate then the user will see *nothing* until that is complete.

However, I don't think this limitation is affecting you. You say the
page displays quickly when viewed over DSL - the connection bandwidth
doesnt affect how long the page takes to calculate! A modem user will
receive the first few bytes equally quickly - it just takes them
longer the receive the rest.

[Zope-dev] Multi-homed objects?

2000-07-17 Thread Chris Withers

Is there any reason why an object cannot be contained in more than one
Folder in the ZODB?

Apparently what I'm talking about is very similar to hard linking in
UNIX...

I can't think of any reasons why this would be bad but I can't think how
to implement an 'Add hard link to this object' function...

Ideas/comments?

cheers,

Chris

[Zope-dev] Acquisition/cDocumentTemplate bug

2000-07-17 Thread Dieter Maurer

Recently, several posters have reported strange "AttributeError __call__"
exceptions.

The most precise was a report by Oleg Broytmann:
  
   /index_html  DTML Document
  dtml-var standard_html_header
   /standard_html_headerDTML Method
  dtml-with sub/dtml-with
   /sub Folder

  When he calls "/sub/index_html", he gets this
  "AttributeError __call__" for "sub".

  He observed the problem on Zope 2.1.4 and 2.2a4.


I partially analysed this problem report under Zope 2.1.6:

  In "MM_cget", "sub" is retrieved as an "ImplicitAcquirerWrapper"
  (correct). 

  In line 373, however, "PyCallable_Check(sub)" returned "1",
  which is probably wrong, because a folder is not callable.
  The "ImplicitAcquirerWrapper"'s "tp_call" mislead
"PyCallable_Check".

  In line 376, the attribute "py_isDocTemp" is looked up
  and succeeds. Therefore, the folder "sub" is seen as
  a Document Template, which definitely is not true.
  The following call fails because it arrives at CallMethodO in
  "Acquisition.c:119" which looks for a non-excisting "__call__" method.

Hmm, would Python catch those already?

Obviously care would need to be taken and it might be possible to build

[Zope-dev] ZPatterns: Coad Object Models

2000-07-17 Thread Steve Alexander

Hi Folks, 

After the ZPatterns chat on Friday, it looked like a few people were
thinking of getting into Peter Coad's book "Object Models: Strategies,
patterns and applications".

I've just received my copy, and I'll be starting it later today.


I intend to use a Wiki to record my observations and thoughts about the
book, as I read it. I'd like this to be a collaborative learning thing,
so anyone else who is reading the book, or who as read it, is most
welcome to join in.

This could be part of a "visitor" interface I've been pondering in the
back of my mind.  It would be capable of traversing, performing an
arbitrary function, and never falling into a recursive trap.

class ObjectManager:

  ...

  def visit(self, func, visited=()):
func(self)
for id in self.objectIds():
  ob = self._getOb(id)
  if hasattr(ob, 'visit') and ob not in visited:

RE: [Zope-dev] Question: circumventing the full fishbowl for small changes...?

2000-07-17 Thread Brian Lloyd

   I've reviewed the introduction to the fishbowl process 
 and its description of creating a project proposal wiki 
 document and such, and the full process a project should 
 take.  However, I have 2 very small but useful additions 
 to Zope I wish to make.  Both additions are already available 
 for download on zope.org - and have been tested extensively.  

 However, the larger of the two changes is perhaps 80 lines of 
 code.  It seems cumbersome, to me at least, to go through 
 this whole process of "Inception, Elaboration, Construction, 
 and Transition" for small code snippets which are already 
 created and tested... So, my question is, could a side-line 
 process be created for the integration of already existent, 
 tested, and somewhat small, code changes?  

 snip
 
 Please keep in mind that I am not trying to be critical,
 nor am I attempting to change the fishbowl process for normal
 projects - I only wish a parallel process to exist for very
 small changes, so that the changes are not forgotten or passed
 up.

Hi Jon - 

You are correct that we need something featherweight for 
very specific features/changes. I know that it's not 
optimal, but for right now the process for things like 
this is to add a feature request (preferably w/patch) 
to the collector. 

My hope is that some of the other things going on will 
allow us to be better about getting to those things. I 
expect to still try to get the community involved in 
those small decisions (voting, etc. on the dev list). 

Hopefully that will be good enough to hold us for a 
little while - I'm open to feedback on how we might 
improve this (though for the immediate near term I 
prefer to focus the bulk of effort on working out 
kinks in the process for larger projects).

[Zope-dev] 2.2 annoying nit

2000-07-17 Thread Martijn Faassen

Hi there,

I see that the 2.2 still has this annoying, and seemingly completely
unnecessary minor change in the tab order:

Tabs for folder in 2.1:

Contents View Properties Import/Export Security Undo Find

Tabs for folder in 2.2:

Contents Import/Export Properties View Find Security Undo Ownership

What's the reason for this change? I'm rather used to the original
configuration; I imagine other users are too. Why is everything
reordered?

I posted this to the collector 10 days ago, but the status is still
'pending' and 2.2 was released. While of course this is a minor thing,
why make everyone relearn the interface? It's akin to switching 'file'
and 'edit' around in a GUI. :)

Regards,

Martijn

Sorry I wasn't clear enough. The Singleton is a design pattern from the
Gang of Four book that fits this situation well. It is a class that is 
meant to control access to the one and only instance of a global
variable. I was just using that as a frame of reference, though; Zope has
no such class for the Application object, or I wouldn't be writing this

I just need some way of getting at the one and only Application object at

  ...

Given a reference to an object in the ZODB, I can do this via:

  app = self.getPhysicalRoot()
  myOb = app.Control_Panel.Products.MyProduct.MyZClass('foo')

But, this does not work from methods like __init__, or __setstate__, where
we do not have a physical location in the ZODB, yet.

I just need a reference to the app object. I know the answer has to be
simple, but I can't find it.

The way to get the root application object is to open a connection to
the ZODB and get the 'Application' object from the list of root
objects.  There is an easy shortcut:

import Zope
app = Zope.app()

app now refers to a *copy* of the root Application object.  When you're
done modifying it and its descendants you have to commit or abort the
transaction.

get_transaction().commit()  (or abort())

This gives you all kinds of benefits like undo and elimination of
threading conflicts.  You *must* remember to close the connection:

app._p_jar.close()

 Given a reference to an object in the ZODB, I can do this via:
 
   app = self.getPhysicalRoot()
   myOb = app.Control_Panel.Products.MyProduct.MyZClass('foo')
 
 But, this does not work from methods like __init__, or __setstate__, where
 we do not have a physical location in the ZODB, yet.
 
 I just need a reference to the app object. I know the answer has to be
 simple, but I can't find it.

See the __init__.py method of ZScheduler, which can be found on Zope.org.
ZScheduler uses a Singleton as well.

Re: [Zope-dev] CalendarTag fix for Zope 2.2

2000-07-17 Thread IbaƱez Palomar Juan David


Shane already told me about this bug, the latest release (0.9.17) is fixed.

 
 Here is a small patch to make the lovely calendar tag play nice with
 DT_Util.namespace() in Zope 2.2:
 
  $ diff -c lib/python/Products/Calendar/CalendarTag.py \
 lib/python/Products/Calendar/CalendarTag.py.org

 namespace() now insists that its self argument be an InstanceDict,

 Jonathan,

 Please respond to the list as well as to me so others can benefit.

 What's happening here is that your catalog is named "s".  I should have
 noticed this the first time around.  But I didn't.  The bit you want is:

 a href="dtml-var "s.getpath(data_record_id_)""
 dtml-var title

 Whether you use "raw" or "title" depends on what you want to see.  If
 you want to see the "raw" DTML that makes up the object that gets
 referenced in the catalog as a link, use "raw".  If you want to see the
 title as a link, use "title".

 If your catalog isn't named "s", and the DTML is actually wrong where it
 says "dtml-in s size=50 start=query_start", change "s" to whatever the
 catalog is named.

 What Zope is doing:

 1.  Iterating over the catalog in batches of fifty responses in the line
 that says:

 dtml-in s size=50 start=query_start

 2.  Doing some stuff at the beginning of the batch (all the "if
 sequence-start" stuff)

 3.  Showing results, if any with a link (the bit you're adding)

 4.  Doing some stuff at the end of a batch (all the "if sequence-end"
 stuff)

 5.  Showing a meaningful message if there were no results.

The author creates a straw man ( a shoe shop built upon a shoe object )
without mentioning that Zope users can use a relational database instead
to build their store.

And he is not aware of the way that many here use editors with FTP
capabilities to interact with Zope. ( though FTP doesn't work in many

Far from being torture "Expecting someone to code in a browser text box

small text browser box encourages code to be factored.

RE: [Zope] linuxworld article

2000-07-17 Thread Gijs Reulen

 Well Gijs, you've got some points right in what you're saying BUT...
 If you know some HTML and Stylesheets why don't you revamp the
 interface yourself. I have.

I was not talking of myself. I do not care much anymore for the visual
aspect of the interface. However, for new users it could be disappointed.
The interface does not look slick and does not offer interesting looking
wizards that invite to click on. I think it should ! The first acquaintance
with Zope should be a joy ! A new world opening up, a world where everything
seems to be possible !  ;-)
Maybe a bit commercial thinking, but hey, thats what made Microsoft and
Oracle big. Not by delivering but simply by promising... At least Zope
delivers, so what we need is showing the world it does.

I also think that interfacing with stuff like Dreamweaver is very important.
People use that a lot and therefore are familiar with it. Zope would then be
just another back-end like Lasso (the normal Dreamweaver database connection
stuff).

Maybe when installing Zope, it should offer to automatically set up
connections for databases ? Something like: which database do have ? Select
one of more [odbc, Oracle, mySQL, etc. ]. I think this kind of end-user
thinking is what Open Source really lacks compared to commercial software.

Yes, I know, all this is easy to think of but it also has to be realised
-( Unfortunately thats where my personal abilities are lacking...

Yes they are...

http://site/com/folder/object may now look like a folder to you, but
what if you want to excecute a method on a folder? It becomes:

So, in effect, object should be treated as a 'folderish' thing from a

 And I certainly don't want trailing slash

Why not? It'd then get the default file for:

Which would return the contents of file.html anyway...

FTP support is not good enough to use for total site development.
It's also not at a high enough level for content managers as I'm

Sorry, that's simply not true ;-)

Text boxes are pathetic for editing. Find and replace?

That said, DTML is probably more of a human rights violation right
now...

I think Zope Studio will address a lot of the aboev problems, but I
can't help feeling a pluggin type thing for Dreamweaver would be of
great benefit too :-)

From the content managers point of view I think it's all about
consistency of interface and ease of use... the two reasons I still use

[Zope] Cannot uncheck boolean properties in 2.2b3 fixed in 2.2?

 In 2.2b3, after setting a boolean property to "checked", it will not
 save when trying to "uncheck" it.  I reported this to the Collector

 As a workaround, you can just delete it and readd it since it defaults
 to unchecked.

The collector reports this as "fixed" in 2.2. I notice that for example 
"yihawdirectory", a zclass based product from www.zope.org, still  
displays this behaviour in 2.2. final, when changing any boolean 
property (like "highlight" or "topstory") using 
manage_baseproperties. Changing non-boolean properties in the 
very same same form works, so it looks like a problem with bools, 
not within yihaw. Perhaps the problem is specific to zclasses?

"dtml-in" expects its argument to behave like a sequence of objects.
It makes the current object's attributes available for direct access.

Z SQL Methods use the class "Shared.DC.ZRDB.Results.Results"

  Here is the proverbial rub. If I want to *test* for the presence of

dtml-var navigation_name

I do not yet know the method "hasProperty".

As a short term work around, you may try directly:

dtml-if navigation_name
  dtml-var navigation_name
dtml-else
  dtml-var title_or_id
/dtml-if

This may acquire "navigation_name". Thus, you may restrict
namespace lookup with:

dtml-with sequence-item only
-- code above--
/dtml-with

Re: [Zope] Long Data Type

2000-07-17 Thread Satheesh Babu

I'm using DCOracle compiled with  8.1.5 client on NT4.0.
Oracle SQL has a limitation of around 5K string literal
size, which prevents any manipulation of bigger strings.

One way to do this is to split strings using python/DTML
at this level and then insert one by one - I'm using this for
pure text content.

Another way is to upload strings/text files to a localFS folder,
from which an Oracle PL/SQL procedure loads them into
BLOB columns. Works nicely from Zope and I'm using this
method to even add MSWord documents into Oracle, which
are then indexed using interMedia search.

I'm using stored procedures by creating ZSQL methods like:
begin
  myprocedure();
end;

No problems so far.

Hi,

this seams to be a bugglet in the final distribution, the pcgi_wrapper is
not build by the install script. This worked in beta 4. You can fix it by
running it manally in the pcgi-directory like:

cd pcgi
sh configure
make

What do you mean?

Suppose your zope site www.contrived-example.com is comprised of many
largely independant sections,
http://www.contrived-example.com/section1,
http://www.contrived-example.com/section2 etc.

Your multiple Zopes can all serve all of these sections, however
theres not enough storage for each machine to hold all the sections
simultaneously.

You can make better use of ZODB's in-memory cache and the ZEO pickle
cache if the requests for /section1 usually go to the same server.

However, you don't want to hardwire this relationship since any other
machine should handle /section1 if its 'home' machine goes down, or is
busy.


This problem can't be solved without parsing http headers, so
low-level solutions such as www.linux-ha.com are not a total solution.

[Zope] The Wizards of Zope (was Linuxworld Article)

2000-07-17 Thread Richard Moon

At 19:34 17/07/00 +0900, you wrote:
as a newbie i am kind of glad that there are no slick interfaces. i want to

Most of us do though !

The one thing that attracted me to Zope at the beginning was the ZSearch 
(using SQL Methods) Interface Wizard. Within an hour I was writing queries 
on my databases and doing useful stuff which I could show to people and say 
- look at this great Zope stuff !

I could also then look at the code and see how it worked, adapt it etc - so 
it was a great learning tool as well.

I think being able to do some simple but useful stuff when you first 
install a product is really, really encouraging and really helpful. There 
has to be substance behind the wizards, but with Zope there is.

The more Zope continues to become popular the more people who are not 
Python/OO gurus are going to look at it. And many of them are going to 
misunderstand it just like the Linuxworld article's author did.

If the Zope model is to convince people of its usefulness then it has show 
them what it can do. Otherwise people will dismiss it as 'theory', 'for 
gurus only', OO-only or whatever. Wizards are one way to do this which many 
(not all) would enjoy using.

Perhaps some us would like to think about the 'Wizards of Zope' and what we 
would like others to be able to achieve with Zope right out of the box.

Personally I'd like to see the ZSearch Interface build 'Intelligent' forms 
(that is DTML methods which render the form/results/error messages 
depending on the values returned by previous activities. )

Ouch. As far as I know CF has a few hundred tags available. Zope/DTML
offers only about 10-20 but provides the same underlying features in
Python via the expr="" attribute. You'd really be looking to transfer CF
to python. This would probably produce code that sucked under Zope as CF
doesn't offer as many core platform features like ZClasses, Aquisition
etc.

I'd say the best conversion tool is simply someone who knows a bit of
both (or a bit of CF and a sizable chunk of Zope).

I can only imagine CF-Zope convertors which would leave you wanting to
rewrite the resultant code anyway. That said, it could at least offer a
neater way to import your CF files into Zope but import and FTP already
offer that.

[Zope] PropertySheet Question

2000-07-17 Thread Darin Lee

Hi everyone,

I want to do something very simple: I have a ZClass propertysheet with an integer 
property called "views"
Every time I load the page, I would like to increment this value by one, and write it 
back to the propertysheet.
(Yep, a good old-fashioned access counter)


Sounds easy right?? Well, I can't seem to figure it out. Every time I get a little 
farther with Zope, something "trivial" like this completely knocks me for a loop and 
sends me hunting through piles of howto's for hours! argh...how hard can it be??

Got this from the help page (hopefully on the right track)...
manage_changeProperties(self, REQUEST=None, **kw): 

However, there is no clear example of how to call without a REQUEST object. I want to 
increment views, and then write it back to the property sheet. That's all. Do I need 
to include the asterisks? Do I need to include the keyword "self?" It really doesn't 
say. Everything I have seen on Zope.org, references the Web context with a REQUEST 
object.

Coming from the "Perl-CGI" world I can honestly say, Zope *feels* like it should be 
easier to develop with, but this learning curve is immense! 

Thanks for your patience,

[Zope] SECURITY ROLES and DTML-IN

2000-07-17 Thread Theodore Patrick

I am having trouble rendering a DTML IN in ZOPE 2.2.0 to any user
regardless of roles.

I have allocated the proper rights to all objects used and nothing happens.
The IN will not let any user view its contents.

DTML IN

I am using an IN in a DTML Document to render the contents of an
SQL_Method from and Oracle Database.
There are 3 objects.

1. Database Connection(ORACLE) - Working and can run test. OK

2. SQL_Method(VIEW_METHOD)- Working and can see results when run.
SQL: select id, v_id vid, item_name name, url from item
The SQL method returns columns: id, vid, name, url as expected. OK

3. DTML Document - Works fine with an IN that renders folder properties.
Change the Source of the DTML IN to the SQL_Method and it will prompt me
for user authentication.

dtml-in VIEW_METHOD size=1000 start=query_start
dtml-var id, dtml-var vid, dtml-var name, dtml-var url 
/dtml-in

When used it prompts the user to login - REGARDLESS OF CURRENT LOGIN and
returns the following error.

Traceback (innermost last):
  File C:\PROGRA~1\island8\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 222, in

Things I have tried.

1. Opening up security all the way on all objects. Doesn't work. It
continues to ask me to log-in.
2. Proxy the DTML Documents ROLE to a higher role for the SQL_METHOD. Fails
just as before.

Is this a bug? Can anyone else confirm this.

In trying to install ZPatterns on linux the install fails during the "make"
part of the install, complaining about a non-existant ExtensionClass.h,
which should be in the Zope Components directory (also not existent).  I
noticed on the mailing list that one should do a rebuild if you install from

no Components directory is created and no ExtensionClass.h is to be found.
Where do I go wrong?

RE: [Zope] upgrade to 2.2 and zsql methods problems

2000-07-17 Thread Brian Lloyd

 I have the exact same problem.
 
 JĆŗlio
 

Hi guys - 

For those of you (I've mostly heard ODBC adapter users) 
having authorization problems with your SQL methods, heres
the scoop:

Database connections use one of two classes in the 
framework for wrapping up result data returned from 
queries. One of those classes (that understands results 
in RDB format) was missing a required security assertion. 

The results returned by the ODBC adapter were bitten by 
this - probably there are other adapters that could 
be affected.

I've attached a patch file for the file:
lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/RDB.py

...as well as an updated version of the whole file (since 
I know a lot of you will be on Windows w/o patch :) Either 
patch or replace the file and restart Zope to fix the 
problem.

This is also checked in for a 2.2.1 release that will 
probably happen after a few weeks when enough people 
have upgraded to shake out any other problems.

Re: [Zope] PropertySheet Question

 I want to do something very simple: I have a ZClass propertysheet with an integer

Access counter in ZODb = very bad idea

It's a transactional database with rollback capability so it will grow
each time you increment your counter!

 Sounds easy right?? Well, I can't seem to figure it out. Every time I get a little 
farther with Zope, something "trivial" like this completely knocks me for a loop and 
sends me hunting through piles of howto's for hours! argh...how hard can it be??

ZClasses are a little harsh on occasion

 Got this from the help page (hopefully on the right track)...
 manage_changeProperties(self, REQUEST=None, **kw):
 
 However, there is no clear example of how to call without a REQUEST object.

Try this:

manage_changeProperties(views=yourobject.getProperty(views)+1)

Where will you be calling this from?

cheers,

Chris

RE: [Zope] SECURITY ROLES and DTML-IN

2000-07-17 Thread Brian Lloyd

 I am having trouble rendering a DTML IN in ZOPE 2.2.0 to any user
 regardless of roles.
 
 I have allocated the proper rights to all objects used and 
 nothing happens.
 The IN will not let any user view its contents.

Theodore - 

I bet you're running into the same problem as the 
folks using the ODBC adaptor. I've attached the post 
I made addressing this a few minutes ago.

If this fixes your problem, could you send a note to 
the zope-list and let the folks there know that the fix 
works for the Oracle DA too? (I'm going out of town today, 
so I won't be able to forward it if you only reply to me)

Thanks!

Before that Zope said:
 you are not authorized to access emUserAuthentication/em

But meaanwhile I turned to Zope-2.2.0 and I recognized "Login Manager"

[Zope] Re: [Metapublisher] how to get the Catlog to find MP entries? (2ndpost)post)

2000-07-17 Thread Sebastian Luehnsdorf

hi!

On Thu, 29 Jun 2000, George Donnelly wrote:

 i have several MP instances in subfolders and need to present the most
 recent mp entries from any/all of the these MP instances on my index_html
 page in the zope root.
 
 when i add a Z search interface in the zope root it only offers me the
 Catalog in the zope root as a searchable object and does not seem to be
 aware of any mp_catalog's.
 
 alternatively i could find all meta entry's to the Catalog in the zope root
 but the meta entry meta type does not show up in the selection list. how
 could i find the meta entrys without finding all objects? can anybody
 recommend an expression? i tried something like meta type==meta entry but
 this was a no go -- it returned ALL objects
 
 the only way i could do it is by adding each individual mp entry's id into
 the find to catalog mechanism. for a site with any traffic this could be a
 major bummer!
 

hmmm... a little tricky! i found a workaround which looks like this: if
you modify the __init__.py of the MetaPublisher product, so that a
MetaEntry object appears in a Folder's available objects, obviously
ZCatalog will find MetaEntries. I have created an __init__.py which
registers MetaEntry objects properly but uses MetaPublisher's
constructors. This means, if you select a MetaEntry to add to some Folder,
you will actually add a MetaPublisher. This might not be the cleanest
solution but it works :) I attached a sample __init__.py file, which you
should copy to 'lib/python/Products/MetaPublisher'.

 then the next problem was that when i used the getpath directive to get a
 url for the records returned by the Catalog i got a url like this
 mpfolder/mp_entries/9995757.435 which plays all kinds of havoc with my
 carefully crafted directory structure ;-|

depends on your structure... what exactly is the problem? unfortunately, 
in the current version, the mp_entries folder has to stay. there are early
plans to remove it completely but this will take some time before it
becomes a reality.

 any ideas?

some... ;)

[Zope] How to require an @ symbol in email form field??

2000-07-17 Thread Stacy Formby

Hello,

I am new to Zope; since our webmaster left I'm trying to make small
changes to the website. We have a standard registration form that
collects information from users (first name, last name, email, company
name, etc.) All of the fields are required, except address 2, address3.

Great. fine. If the user doesn't fill out a field, they get an alert.
But they can fill each field out with gibberish--as long as there is a
character in the input, we accept it.

Is there a way to require at least an "@" sign in the email field? The
powers that be think this would be useful.

Here's the form processing code as it stands today. Any help is
appreciated.

Sformby

!-- Check whether any fields are missing. -- dtml-in required
dtml-comment
The length of the following expr is due to the fact that some types of
form elements
(e.g. text) always create a var, while others (e.g. radio) don't.
/dtml-comment

dtml-unless expr="REQUEST.form.has_key(_['sequence-key']) and
REQUEST.form[_['sequence-key']]"
dtml-call request.set(missing_fields1)" /dtml-unless /dtml-in

 !-- If fields are missing, inform the user. --
dtml-if request.has_key(missing_fields')" The following input fields
are required
and have not been filled out: !-- List missing fields. --

REQUEST.form[_['sequence-key']]"

Hi - You were absolutely right !!!

Thanks a lot!

There is still a problem remaining in my User-Authentication.
In the DTML-method userList I have the SQL-Method : 
dtml-return "sql_get_user_list()"
When I write the usernames in userList everything goes well.
Usind the SQL-method results in the Zope-message:

http://134.96.119.88:8080/portal_folder/acl_users/userList
(('Unsupported Type', 'userList method returned an unsupported type',

The Sql-method is tested an OK ...
What does the error 'Unsupported Type' mean ???

Any hints will be appreciated ...
MArio

 
 Hi Mario,
 In reference to your problem where GUF cannot access "real_password", try
 turning on "Access contents information" for your role(s) in the security
 permissions area of the acl_users folder.  I just ran into a similar problem
 where I could access my sql methods, but could not access the results from
 them.  Setting this permission for my user defined role in the acl_users
 folder fixed it.
 
 Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions.

 a href="/path/script.pl/1234"1234/abr
 a href="/path/script.pl/2345"2345/abr

You can do this and more with a SiteAccess access rule and modifying the
remaining traversal stack. It's a REQUEST variable but the name escapes
me right now...

However, I'm planning to do a PathHandler product to do just this as
soon as I get to grips with Zope 2.2...

Try emailing us a cut and paste of the code you are trying to enter,

Hi, i have a little problem trying to import the DemoPortal.zexp, i use

[Zope] ZClasses gripe

2000-07-17 Thread Andy McKay

I hate to do something in ZClasses, but I did today just because I didnt
have the energy to write in Python. Oh how I wish I had. It was all so
simple except for "DestinationURL" not being implemented or being used
patchily. It would be really great if we were able to write our own
destination once a form has been filled. This would give us much better
access to things like property manager. Oh well back to Python.

  According to the doc I should be able to use dtml-var statements in Z SQL

This is indeed a strange variable name (12.12).

Do you mean the floating point value 12.12 rather than a variable of
this name?

In this case, you should use:
  dtml-var "12.12"

  I also tried:
  INSERT INTO test1
  ( id, content, phone )
  VALUES (
  dtml-sqlvar id type=float,
  dtml-sqlvar content type=nb,

Obviously, "id" does not contain a floating point value.

Which is why I said 'somewhat' ;-) Now, depending on if you set a shared
FS across the systems, this cache could theoretically be shared. If for
example, you usef afs/codafs, you could have each server using the same
FS, reading the same cache, unless something in ZEO prevents two
processes form using the cache, of course. Now, AFS/Codafs are not for
the faint of heart, but I get the feeling that someone willing to try an
IPVS setup is likely made of sturdier stuff. ;-)

Roxen can do this to some extent. Not sure how well, since I am not

eddieware can also do this:
"""
The Eddie Intelligent HTTP Gateway package allows specialised functions
to be allocated to specific Back End Servers. As each user request
arrives, it is parsed by the Front End Server which then: 
o Splits multiple requests within HTTP 1.1 
  persistent connections into a number of 
  individual requests. 

o Sends the individual requests to Back End 

This allows a system administrator to, for example, dedicate certain
Back End Servers to be CGI processing engines, while other machines may
be dedicated to acting as image repositories. The individual machines
may then be tuned to optimise their performance to these specific tasks.

I have considered trying out eddieware, but haven't yet.

[Zope] Tim's Gripe Of The Week -- was: [Zope] (no subject)

2000-07-17 Thread Tim Cook

Hi all,

I have given myself permission to post this gripe.
Thank You g

While I do use the list archives and I try to get others that are
new to Zope to do the same.  I have a gripe for the Zen Masters. 
It's the subject line above.

Granted most of the "No Subject" mail starts with a newbie
question.  That doesn't mean you have to let it ride like that. 
Simply do what I did above.  WHY?

Once your words are immortalized in the archives they carry great
value, IF there is a subject line that makes sense.  Otherwise
it's just one more in the list each month that say "(no
subject)".  How sad that you would value you efforts at such a
low mark. 

I'd like to thank you all in advance for taking that extra 45
seconds to add or change to the appropriate subject line.  It
makes the archives that much more useful.

BTW: Thanks for all the help everyone.

You first need to determine what resource is not found.
The tracebacks may help you with this.

After you know the resource, you will ask, "why".
If you are lucky, this becomes obvious, once you know "what".

It depends on where the exchange rates are.  

If you get them from a database, you can make zope display the current
rates. 

If you get them from a web page, you can use the client feature of zope
to go snarf the web page and then extract what you need (hope you have
permission :)

If some other mechanism can write them to a file, you can suck them up
with an external method whenever someone asks for it.

hope that helps,

The wrapping makes it very hard to read. I don't believe you need to do

With these changes:

 /stile

  the Some_Style_css dtml file has the following
 lines--
 input{ position: relative;

You can do this much more simply as long as Some_Style and Some_header
are methods, and style and SomeKey are in REQUEST:

dtml-var Some_header

Then Some_header will have Some_style passed to it in the request, and
SomeKey will come from REQUEST too.

not another server.

 However, this is the error message I get:

[not found error]

 Can you please direct me on what to do to correct this problem?  Thanks.

when posting errors, first do "view source" on the page, and inside that
you should see a traceback. Posting the traceback helps us know what
happened.

Hope that helps,

  Personally, I find this such a simple idea that it MUST be good. (o8
  So much so, in fact, that I've decided to have a crack at writing just
  such a redirector.  I feel the Zope world (and others, most likely) could
  benefit from a 'preferential' redirector.

 The way I would do this is have

 section1.contrived-example.com
 section2.contrived-example.com
 section3.contrived-example.com

 with siteAccess, and then each zope would serve it according to it's IP
 (though each "could" serve each site).  Then you can use whatever IP/DNS
 load balancing tool your heart desires.

I think most people seem to be missing the point here.

The idea is that ALL servers can serve ALL content.  HOWEVER, the 'load
balancer' will opt for a certain server for a certain URL, in order to
improve cache hits.

So, for www.contrived-example.com/dir1  it will first try server1, but if
it's busy (or down) it will try others.  This way, the cache on server1 is
more likely to contain objects relevant to /dir1  and thus have a higher hit
rate, therefore improving performance.

An enforced 'mapping', as you were suggesting, removes ALL redundancy from
the site, but would likely provide even better cache hits.

 a thought,

Have a better one,
Curtis

Re: [Zope] Writing a Zope Help System

2000-07-17 Thread Chris McDonough

There is also a file in the Zope distribution in
$SOFTWARE_HOME/docs/HELPSYS.txt that I think is up-to-date.
