[Zope-dev] Notify event for getWSGIApplication?
Hello, I'd like to add a new event for getWSGIApplication. (the name is like WSGIPublisherApplicationCreatedEvent?)

[Zope-dev] Tutorial on SQLScript - Feedback solicited
I found that there is a lack of documentation for using SQLScript with Zope3. SQLAlchemy is newer and exciting and SQLScript is mostly ignored. This is unfortunate as it works well and is well known to Zope2 developers. I have made an attempt to redress the balance by adding a page on it to the ZopeInAnger section of the Wiki. http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/HowDoIUseSQLScript Unfortunately, the document is quite long. The example code is attached to the document. I would appreciate any feedback, particularly corrections, criticisms. I will (grudgingly) accept criticisms of my presentation style as well as the content. This is my first attempt to add to the documentation body for Zope.

Larger JS frameworks like Dojo tend to be split across several files and
directories. The fun starts when such frameworks load/reload stuff
using relative URLs. A co-worker using Dojo intensively had to invest
some time in order to integrate such a JS monster properly. As far as I
remember Extjs also uses multiple files (but not as much as Dojo
does)..so please check in advance.
Another point: consider using CMF and putting your library files into a
directory system view on the filesystem. This makes your life much
easier.
Or just upload via WEBDAV.
One of the biggest advantages of Zope is the isolation from physical
file system.

Hello,
Thanks to everyone for your help. I thought about Tres's solution and
quickly discovered that I would be doing a *lot* of clicking/typing if I
wanted to upload all of the files necessary to make the ExtJS framework
available. I'll look into the WebDAV idea; I didn't think of that until
you mentioned it.
However, I came up with another possible solution that may be generally
useful after some (a lot actually) of coaxing. I threw this together in the
time between my new year's festivities :) : it's incredibly sloppy at the
moment, but before I worried about cleaning it up, I wanted to get some
feedback from you guys about it (pardon the annoying formatting problems):
def package_home(gdict):
Returns the location of the file that calls the function. You
must pass it globals() as the argument for it to work right.
:Parameters:
gdict : dict
A dictionary containing all of the global definitions for the
module. This is accessible via the python built-in function
globals()
:return: The fully qualified path for the directory in which the calling
module is residing
:rtype: string
filename = gdict[__file__]
return os.path.dirname(filename)
class FileSystemResource(Implicit,Item):
FileSystemResource is meant to make it easy to access file system
objects
through Zope. It works by taking over the object traversal process to
recursively return resources, simulating a directory structure, until
it finally reaches the end (__call__()), when it accesses the file
and returns it.
If you do
js = FileSystemResource()
in the class that you are publishing, then
http://www.domain.com/yourId/js/all.js
would return the contents of all.js.

[Zope] Defining a Variable

Apparently, I'm mistaken. I've even tried defining it this way: td tal:define=num python:str(11) to make sure that num was properly assigned. What am I missing? Also, if I have a dir called scripts in which getQuote exists, and scirpts is in the path, shouldn't that notation work okay?

Re: [Zope] Best Practice for including Javascript in Zope Applications
I am writing an application that uses extjs as the front end and zope on the back and they work together really well. I am using a webserver to server the extjs library and everything else comes out of zope. So far I have had no trouble with relative links or files broken up in different locations. It may be because I have fully committed to having an extjs front end. I typically serve a page out of zope, it calls the extjs library as well as custom JavaScript files. The web2.0 style page then makes multiple xhr calls back to zope to load smaller html and json fragments. Works like a charm and has the additional benefit of letting me cache the majority of the front end in the webserver and in the users browser. Have fun because you have just come across a wonderful combination...extjs and zope!

RE: [Zope] Best Practice for including Javascript in Zope Applications
Yep! I have had very good luck with it so far; my little hack that I posted works like a (klutzy) charm and ExtJS is great with zope. The ExtJS folks are very well organized, and the library is quite powerful. It's working great. However, my application doesn't have quite the segregation that yours does; ExtJS and zope (DTML in particular) are much more intermingled, and can't be easily separated. This application is actually a frontend for a Java library that controls instruments at CERN (a research lab I work for), and I love the solution that it has presented. It works like a charm. (in case you're curious, it makes use of a wonderful python library I ran across called JPype (http://jpype.sourceforge.net) to execute the Java code) I am going to be accessing Zope through apache with the VHM, but there are multiple reasons why I don't want to serve the js through apache. This same principle is the reason that I don't want to upload things through FTP or WebDAV. I'm making a product, and I would like to keep it atomic, i.e., I want the only install procedure to be copy product folder to instance/Products. Uploading via WebDAV, or hosting the javascript using separate software, defeats that purpose. The solution that Tom proposed (LocalFS) seems to be what I want, but the problem is that I think it is way too out of date; it crashed my zope server (2.10.5) when I installed it. It says nothing can be found after I add an instance through the ZMI, and this is after I fixed a deprecated import ( from OFS.content_types import find_binary - from zope.app.content_types import find binary). I had to completely remove the product to get my Zope instance to work again. I'm getting the feeling that there isn't really a (recent) canned solution for accessing file system content, which is... strange at best, considering all the power that zope has at its disposal. You would think that accessing the file system would be present just because it is so simple to do. I'm not complaining, as I'm *very* happy with zope, I'm just surprised :). I realize that zope's principle is to store everything in the database, but this is unacceptable for content such as video files, right? I mean the ZODB file would be absolutely humongous (and slow? I don't know for sure how it's implemented). If there isn't already a working solution, I would be happy to come up with one; I could just hack out the parts of LocalFS that work, add a few features, and repackage it into a new product. It's not difficult to do (my little trivial solution already would work fine if I did a non-dumb implementation of the file-serving logic), and as much as I would like to use it for other projects, it would be worth my time. For example, I want to make a little video/music server as a personal project unrelated to my current one, and I really don't want to store things in the ZODB if I can help it... 1 video = +1 gig ZODB? :S I don't know much about zope obviously, so if I get some vehement objections to this route, I'll pick another :) Thanks! -Matt -Original Message- From: Tim Nash [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 2:03 PM To: Tom Von Lahndorff Cc: Matt Hollingsworth; zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Best Practice for including Javascript in Zope Applications I am writing an application that uses extjs as the front end and zope on the back and they work together really well.

[Zope] looking for an easier way
I'm writing an exteranl method to store data into a sql data base. In my first attempts to do this I just had an external method dump whatever zope gave it to a text file, then looked. I came up with the following to split up the data the zope handed the external method and store it an sql. This works. However, I'm thinking there must be an easier way to capture what zope hands and external method. Here's what I'm using now: def ddmapper(data): ''' maps dictionary keys and vals handed from zope to dictionary keys and vals which are attribute names of the table use to store the data puts a pickle of all data into a zo -- zopeobject nonce is a uniquifier ''' now = DT.now() pbuf = sio.StringIO() pickle.dump(data, pbuf) nonce = '%s:%s:%s:%s' % (now.year, now.month, now.day, now.second) attribs = dict(fname=data['first-name'], lname=data['last-name'], email=data['email-address'], studentid=data['student-id-number'], accomodations=data['will-special-assistance-be-required'], describe=data['describe-special-accomodations-needed'], degree=data['degree'][0], number=data['number-attending'], key=nonce, zo=pbuf.getvalue() ) del(pbuf) del(now) return attribs There must be an easier way to 'know' what zope is giving me and grab the correct dictionary that has the form data in it. anyone have any pointers? -- David Bear phone: 602-496-0424 fax:602-496-0955 College of Public Programs/ASU University Center Rm 622 411 N Central Phoenix, AZ 85007-0685 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ 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 )
