[Zope] Mirroring Zope sites
Hello, I'd like to be able to take a "snapshot" of a Zope site (probably using the recursive "wget") so that it can be served from Apache alone. I'm running into problems coping with files named "x_html" (most notably "index_html") . . . Apache serves up the files as plaintext, so you just get the HTML in your browser window. I've been messing around with srm.conf in my Apache configuration to try and accept "_html" as a valid extention for "text/html" files, but to no avail. Has anyone managed to get Apache to serve "_html" as text/html? Thanks much! -CJ ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

That should be pretty easy . . . Zope will let you add objects that have dots in the titles, so just put a method "index_html" in the root folder which has the following line: dtml-var index.html Then wherever there is "index.html", it will be displayed as the default document (go Acquisition!). Note that using a ".html" in files will make things a bit tricky sometimes when coding Python statements, because in python, "index.html" is looking for a property (or whatever) "html" in the object "index," which isn't going to exist, so you've got to be a bit cagey . . . -CJ ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] How to display PDF files

At any rate, how do you get ZServer to send a 'raw' PDF file to the browser so that the browser's Acrobat plug-in can display it? I tried creating 'File' and 'Image' objects. That's obviously not it. Actually, "File" should be okay . . .

[Zope] 1000-record limit?

[Zope] Redirecting from Python?
Greetings!
I'm working on a Product, and I'd like to be able to do a RESPONSE.redirect()
from inside the Python code. What I had was basically this:
dtml-if "some number of conditions"
View the page . . .
dtml-else
dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('blahblahblah')"
/dtml-if
This works fine, but rather than having that sitting out in DTML-land,
I figured I could put the conditions in the Python code and simplify
the if statement, so all I'd have to do is:
dtml-if someConditions
View the page . . .
/dtml-if
The Python code I was hoping would accomplish this was:
def someConditions(self):
if (some number of conditions):
return 1
else:
self.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect('blahblahblah')
My problem is that the redirect just doesn't happen. I've had this
function return values and the like, so I know it's parsing my conditions
correctly, and I can even do a "return self.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect" and
have the function returned back into my page, but it won't actually
redirect.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance . . .

Re: [Zope] Costs of implementation
Well, I'd say that much of it relies on the kind of project you're doing, too. Sure, if all your DTML is doing is simple if/then statements, maybe a loop or two, it'll only take a few minutes to get used to the management interface itself. However, if you've got some seriously complicated things going on, it will be a lot more difficult. We've got an application framework being developed that relies very heavily on some extraordinarily tricky acquisition to get pages to render correctly. Everything is determined by the path you take to actually get to the page you want to look at, so a difference of one directory being present in the acquisition path can *drastically* alter how a page is displayed and functions (just adding the "admin" folder, for instance). Everything's automatically rendered. You basically never have to touch HTML again, because there's all these Widgets all over the place doing everything for you. Expecting someone to just jump into that kind of thing after becoming comfortable with the management interface would be insane. (Once you're into the Zen of the thing, though, it's wonderful!) If you're just putting together some relatively simple webapps, your timeline's probably all right. However, if you want a fully-functional ZCommerce site up, running, *secure,* and easily expandable, I'd say there's a lot more you've got to get through. :) Just my opinion, though. Perhaps I'm just slow. :) Happy Zoping! -CJ "J. Atwood" wrote: Well, if you added it all up I was talking about 96 hours of development (8 days x 12 hours) which is a lot to bring up a site in Zope. I agree it does depend on the person but I have had graphics people once given a 10 minute intro to Zope not only start playing around with DTML but doing quick if/then statements.

The amount of time it will take someone to go from 0 to Zope varies wildly. We have had developers come in and in a matter of a few days they are very productive. Others take much longer. Several things affect this. Someone to show you the ropes being primary. Previous knowledge, especially in OOP and in python or pythonish language, is also crucial. So how long depends on you. If you don't have someone who knows Zope and python expect to struggle up the near vertical learning curve of Zope. After helping to train several people on Zope I would recommend not reading any Zope documentation until after you understand python. In other words, learn the basics of python first. Know what a list, dictionary and tuple are and their syntax and operations and many of the mysteries of Zope will be cleared up (i.e. when do you need tics instead of quotes etc.). After garnishing a working knowledge (you don't need to be a Zen master of python) of python ,then read the Zope documentation and start working in Zope. Just my experience working with newbies.

This does take into account that you know "something" about programming and variables and really good HTML as well as some server stuff (how to set up, IP addresses, shell scripts).

This does mean full "developing days" which are about 10-14 hours. I don't know about transactions so you might want to pad it a bit. I will say though, that once you get into developing with Zope you realize just how fast you can
