[Zope] Freelancing fees

2009-04-02 Thread Pablo Ziliani
Hi guys,

I've been working for the same Zope or Django projects for virtually 5 
years now, but recently, the circumstances and I reached an agreement 
concluding that it's time to start looking at freelancing. In 
consequence I need to set an hourly fee rate for the team.

So, I'm running a small studio in Argentina, taking both graphic design 
and programming stuff. The GD fee may be easier for me to figure than 
the programming one; particularly, I was wondering if the fact of 
knowing Zope2 very well added any cent to the general programming fee 
(whatever that could be). I know there are uncountable factors that make 
up this figure, but in order to achieve some kind of reference:

Off the top of your heads, which is a reasonable hourly fee for a 
project/task/client including zope-specific skills in the job 
description? $/€ 1, 15, 30, 50, 100, 300, ...?

Furthermore: how much if it doesn't?


Regards,
Pablo Ziliani

PS: any tip on getting Python/Zope freelance jobs, highly appreciated

[Zope] Appropriate Photo / Photo Folder for Zope 2.10.2?

2007-02-06 Thread Pablo Ziliani

Hello all,

I'm having trouble to find an appropriate version for the Photo/Photo 
Folder product to run under 2.10.2.
I'm currently using Roug's 1.3.1[1] which throws some warnings upon 
start[2]. Also, there's a more recent ExtFile[3] product that I'd like 
to use if it played well with Photo. Maybe I should use the (much older) 
Zope3 version?[4]

Can anybody please give me a hand with this? (working links are appreciated)

TIA,

Re: [Zope] Appropriate Photo / Photo Folder for Zope 2.10.2?

2007-02-06 Thread Pablo Ziliani

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your answer. FWIW I decided to keep the version (1.3.1) since 
it is the last release at the moment. It also seems to play well with 
ExtFile (at least Zope omitted the included ExtFile in favor of the 
standalone one).
Just for the records, Photo does include a JpgComment.py file (different 
case) but not a method with that name.


Thanks,
Pablo

This is a fairly harmless warning. It is declaring a set of permissions for
jpgcomment. Perhaps the method was removed, and the permissions declaration
was missed.

[Zope] ZPT problems upgrading 2.9.6 to 2.10.2

2007-02-06 Thread Pablo Ziliani

Hi all again,

As I mentioned in my previous email I'm in the middle of an upgrade from 
2.9.6 to 2.10.2, and getting (at least) a couple of errors:
Sometimes when a ZPT that gets content from the database (postgres, 
psycopg 2.0.4) is called, it raises the following UnicodeDecodeError:


Module zope.tal.talinterpreter, line 754, in do_insertStructure_tal
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 
164: ordinal not in range(128)


I've also seen it failing in presence of a 0xc2 byte, and I haven't 
tested if this is the usual behavior for a non ascii.


I have the following directives in the zope.conf file:
- rest-input-encoding utf-8
- rest-output-encoding utf-8
- default-zpublisher-encoding utf-8

All my admin forms have an accept-charset=utf-8.
So, any hint on why it uses the ascii codec? am I omitting anything? If 
the problem is in the database, is there any way to pass a replace or 
ignore argument for unicode error handling? (maybe the DB should do 
that?). Again, although I don't really know how much garbage was being 
actually served, the same requests worked under 2.9.6.
BTW, I don't think I can isolate where this offending insertion occurs 
from this traceback (I might be wrong on this, but I think I remember 
that in previous versions of Zope you could get the line number, or at 
least the actual culprit's filename)


Also, my main template (the file that contains the macro that is used by 
most other pages) is showing this message when editing TTW:


Macro expansion failed
exceptions.NameError: name 'widget' is not defined

And that's because I have this code:
tal:block condition=PAGE/widgets repeat=widget PAGE/widgets
   metal:singleton 
use-macro=python:path('context/widgets_sidebar.html/macros/' + widget) /

/tal:block

Of course the expected macro does exist in the file when the variable 
widget is evaluated. This not only shows when editing the template 
itself, but also when doing it on every page that uses it. No, the 
checkbox Expand macros when editing is not selected an any level.
Fortunately, this doesn't prevent the page from being served properly. 
It does show this warning in the log, though (I can see it when 
something ELSE fails afterwards):


Module zope.pagetemplate.pagetemplate, line 117, in pt_render
  - Warning: Macro expansion failed
  - Warning: exceptions.NameError: name 'widget' is not defined


Thanks in advance and sorry for the length of this post.

[Zope] Resolving a url from a path in a virtual host environment

2006-10-19 Thread Pablo Ziliani

Hi guys,

I'm having some trouble tying to get an object from a given path. I'm 
using virtual hosts, so according to Dieter's great documentation[1], 
REQUEST.resolve_url should do it. However no matter how creative I get 
making up urls, I always get a Different namespace. ValueError.
Looking at the source of resolve_url[2] I can see that it tries to 
ensure being at the same namespace (?) seeing if REQUEST.script is at 
the beginning of the passed url. So the actual problem is that this 
attribute always returns http://127.0.0.1:8080; in my (2.9.4-final) 
Zope instance, quite independently from my requested url.


So: should I be using some other method instead? (if so, I guess my 
reference is wrong or outdated). Which one?
Do I need any special configuration to make REQUEST.script returns my 
virtual environment?

Any additional suggestion?

In case the real url after apache's rewrite is relevant, PATH_INFO and 
PATH_TRANSLATED are showing something like:

'/VirtualHostBase/http/www.mydomain.com:80/sites/mysite/VirtualHostRoot/foo/bar.py'

TIA,
Pablo

Unless your site uses /virtual hosts/ (or the virtual hosting tools for

Thanks a lot, Stefan, for your kind response, I didn't see that.
Although it's not clear to me who is responsible for this, I suppose 
that because of this feature, storing Photos in the filesystem should 
be discouraged in multiple virtual host environments and that a big 
warning message added at least to this product's readme file.

[Zope] Weird paths in the filesystem using Photo and ExtFile

2006-08-25 Thread Pablo Ziliani

Hi all,
I am experimenting some problems with Photo/Photo Folder (or ExtFile) 
products in a fresh Zope instance.
I have two different sites that share a very similar structure. Their 
virtual roots are sibling folders in the ZODB.
Both have a Photo Folder called images, that are storing in the 
filesystem via ExtFile. The problem is that when a photo with a non-yet 
generated display is being called through the virtual url, the 
corresponding image is created in the filesystem as if the topmost 
folder was the virtual root of the site (namely 
$INSTANCE_HOME/var/photos/). If I call this photo through the real 
(non virtual) url, this topmost folder matches the ZODB root.


For example, if I call these real urls:
- http://zopeserver.com:8080/sites/site1/images/image.jpg?display=whatever
- http://zopeserver.com:8080/sites/site2/images/image.jpg?display=whatever

in the filesystem I would have something like:
- $INSTANCE_HOME/var/photos/sites/site1/images/image.jpg/image_whatever.jpg
- $INSTANCE_HOME/var/photos/sites/site1/images/image.jpg/image_whatever.jpg

but if I call the same via the virtual url:
- http://www.virtualsite1.com/images/image.jpg?display=whatever
- http://www.virtualsite2.com/images/image.jpg?display=whatever

I only get:
$INSTANCE_HOME/var/photos/images/image.jpg/image_whatever.jpg

both paths point to the same file! I think you understand why this 
worries me.

Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pablo

Relevant software installed:
   Linux Fedora Core 3
   Zope: 2.9.4
   Python: 2.4.3
   ExtFile: 1.5.0-beta1
   Photo: 1.3.1


PS: and BTW, the Zipupload feature in Photo Folder fails miserably for 
some reason.

five hours ago.


I also need to have the webdav server working for MS. If somebody sent 
patches or links to them (other than the one I quoted below) I missed 
them completely. But more important than that, I would like to know if 
these patches had already been merged to later versions of Zope (I'm 
also using 2.8.4), or if there are plans for doing so.


Thanks,

You're right, I've copied/pasted the same patch twice, sorry !

I use both the Ressource.py and Collection.py patches to make O2K3 happy.

[Zope] Software to Administer a Zope Project?

2006-01-19 Thread Pablo Ziliani

Hi everybody,
I want to keep track of a project I am developing in Zope, so basically 
I need some advise on the software I might prefer to adopt. I tried 
trac, but I find it a bit complicated to have to admin everything 
through the shell and also, unless there's an easy way to integrate zodb 
stuff to it, I'm not interested in the svn part, just the project 
management itself (tickets, milestones, etc). I'm not saying that I 
won't use Trac, but maybe I'm just missing something. Zepp is not an option.


Thanks in advance,
Pablo

I suspect it's a bug that the root browser id manager cannot be deleted.
That said, it shouldn't be necessary to delete it, as the session data
manager will use the first bid manager it finds in its acquisition
path to get the browser id (see
Products/Sessions/SessionDataManager.py).  In your case, probably what's
happening is that the machinery is finding the /session_data_manager
object at the root, and the first bid manager in *its* acquisition
path is the root /browser_id_manager.  If you also create a
'session_data_manager' object in your site, this one should be found and
it should use its peer 'browser_id_manager' object.

This area is somewhat murky as it's unusual to need multiple browser id
managers per server, so I'll be interested to know if creating a session
data manager fixes this problem.

- C

Adding the new session_data_manager did the trick as you both suggested, 
THANKS!


However, my first attempt was unsuccessful as upon creation I had set it 
to use an non-existing Transient Object Container (TrOC) under 
/temp_folder, in hope that this would create it at the same time. Yes, I 
know how easily I come to complicate things, but my hope was actually 
real: I did got both objects created... until I restarted Zope of 
course, where (consistently with its container function) I lost the new 
TrOC forever.
I can see in OFS/Application.py that both the temp_folder and the 
default Transient OC are recreated on startup, so I guess that the only 
way to get a permanent TrOC is by monkey patching Zope, what of course 
is beyond my needs, given that I can use (as I finally did) the default 
TrOC.


However now my question is: can't this configuration lead to session 
collisions, given that now I have multiple BIMs/SDMs making writes to 
the same TrOC?


Thanks in advance for your advise,
Pablo

[Zope] Problem with multiple Browser Id Managers

2005-11-17 Thread Pablo Ziliani

Hello all, I have a situation here;
as I has previously posted, I need to set the domain/host for of the 
cookie that stores the session id so it is shared among multiple 
subdomains. As Dieter has pointed to me, I should change the 'domain' 
property for the Browser Id Manager (from now on BMI) that controls the 
session.
Unfortunately, my Zope instance holds multiples virtual sites, so I 
can't simply change the root BMI that comes with Zope's installation; 
instead I need to create inner BMI instances. So I did, giving the new 
instance a different Browser Id Name than the root's _ZopeId both to 
differentiate them and to be more site-specific. Then I restarted Zope 
(don't know if this really matters) and re-entered the site to see what 
happened: I was still given the same cookie, _ZopeId.


Reading the documentation I found this quote (browser-add.stx):




 Instantiating Multiple Browser Id Managers (Optional)

(...) In its default configuration, Zope will not allow you to create a 
browser id manager if one is installed in the root or in a place where 
the new browser id manager can acquire the original browser id manager 
via its containment path (for programmers: the session id manager's 
class' Zope __replaceable__ property is set to UNIQUE). This means, 
practically, that if you wish to have multiple browser id managers, you 
need to carefully delete the root browser id manager, then you need to 
place additional browser id managers in the most deeply-nested 
containers first, working your way out towards the root, finally 
replacing the root browser id manager if desired.



...which is either false or (more likely), outdated, since first (as I 
said) I had no trouble in adding another deeper BMI; and second, because 
any attempt to delete root's BMI ends in a /browser_id_manager/ cannot 
be deleted. page error message.


Any hint?

How about creating subfolders, one for each subdomain, and then use 
URL rewriting to point to the required subfolder.  The top level 
folder would contain your login/authenication/session info which could 
be accessed via acquisition.


Hello Jonathan and thanks for your help,

Actually, the site is working. I have something close to what you said 
with the difference that I am getting the rewritings go to the same 
folder. Unfortunately this doesn't work because of the way that 
session's cookies are served by default in Zope (including the 
subdomain). In other words, no matter how you construct your internal 
folder hierarchy, browsers won't submit a session cookie from a 
subdomain to another. Cookies specification define a keyword to set the 
domain from which the cookie should be submitted, but I don't know how 
to set it for Zope's default session. Or if I'm completely missing 
something.


Thanks,
Pablo

The Browser Id Manager (browser_id_manager in your Zope Root Folder)

to choose the cookie domain.

[Zope] Problem with permissions in 2.8.4

2005-11-13 Thread Pablo Ziliani

Hello,
I am having a very tough time with permissions after I have upgraded to 
2.8.4 from 2.8.1, and I would really appreciate some help as I have 
exhausted my imagination trying to figure what's wrong.


I have the following structure in my zope instance:

zope root
| sites
|| admin
|| website

Inside the folder admin I have some templates using a macro named page 
in a sibling template.
The folder sites has some checks marked in the security tab, but this 
is supposed to be ineffective since all the permissions are also 
acquiring from the root folder.
The folder admin has the default permissions but for the View and 
Access Content Information, which I only made available for Managers 
and some other irrelevant roles.
Pages inside admin (i.e.: users.html) have additional security 
configurations, but in all cases Managers are explicitly allowed.
The website folder is the virtual domain, so when I call 
http://mywebsite.com/admin I am in fact acquiring the folder from above 
the site root (website). However, this doesn't seem to be the problem: 
the same occurs if I move admin inside website.
My user is defined in the zope root and although there's another 
acl_folder in sites there's no user there with my same id.
The odd thing is that if I (also) check all the Acquire permissions 
settings checkbox in admin, I will be able to access the macro but then 
the macro page won't be able to access some methods 
i.e.template/title_or_id. I think this should not happen, Managers are 
always (explicitly!) allowed all along the path from the root to each page.


As said, this was working fine in 2.8.1.
Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated,
TIA,  Pablo

[Zope] Re: Problem with permissions in 2.8.4 (resolved)

2005-11-13 Thread Pablo Ziliani
Replying to my own post as I just found the answer to my problem (which 
had nothing to do with the version of zope).


The problem was that when I mass-imported some folders to the new 
instance, I didn't check to retain the ownership information; thus the 
templates where executed whith the credentials of the Anonymous role.


Sorry for bothering, I hope someone finds this post usefull in the future,
Pablo

PS: setting the verbose-security on was of great help in order to 
address this issue

[Zope] Testing arguments in zsql methods

2005-09-09 Thread Pablo Ziliani

Hi everyone,
I have what I think is a banal question here... Is there any way I can 
test inside a zsql method if an argument has been passed? dtml-if foo 
won't work because 0 (zero) is an expected value.
Have tried dtml-if _.hasattr(_, 'foo') but it seems to be always 
false (where's that namespace?)


TIA,
Pablo

[Zope] Re: Testing arguments in zsql methods

2005-09-09 Thread Pablo Ziliani

Hi again,
for the records, replying my own recent post:
the way to test if a variable exists in a zsql method is through has_key 
NOT hasattr.

In other words: dtml-if _.has_key('foo').../dtml-if

Sorry for bothering, it's been a long time not dealing with dtml
