[Zope] NEWBIE: assign next free ID automatically
Hi, I've been through the Guides, How-Tos and also some of the list-archives. Though I am not a programmer I finally decided to ask that question to all of you... I want to give Users the possibility to add documents in a folder things_to_do ;-). so far so good ... Then I want to control the IDs simply by assigning an ID to their Form. I found a few articles generating either randomIDs or calculating IDs from ZopeTime(). What is it that I want to do? I want to evaluate the highest ID (all are 'int') within the folder and assign the next highest. I'm sure this is easy to you... If there's a RTFM-document I'd be glad to read that. thanks, p@rick ___ 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 )
[Zope] AW: [Zope] Web Mail Account creation.
Hi Shervan, Worldpilot ist the GUI you are looking for, if you use Zope. Some friends and me use it. Not included in WorldPilot are routines to a) create a new account b) modify and c) delete an account I use a UW IMAP on RH 6.2 to let WorldPilot connect to. That would require me to modify the /etc/passwd if I wanted to fullfill the points a), b) and c). Since I don't want anyone to touch that beside of root ;-) I am aiming to use cyrus-imapd. Cyrus can even run with LDAP and that might be a choice in connection with zope if you are willing to write something that emulates the functions of 'cyradm' (the prog to administrate cyrus). OTOH you might write some python script to get ridd of 'cyradm'. After creating new users you can log them in using WorldPilot. p@rick -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Im Auftrag von Shervan Agard Gesendet: Dienstag, 17.

[Zope] AW: [Zope] a problem with 'start' command
Hi Gaby, I am not on of the zope-gods on this list, but there is something in the message that you sent that makes me stop and think: IOError: [Errno 49] Disc quota exceeded I believe the problem is not zope itself, but the amout of diskspace that you or the user 'pecos' is allowed to use in the dir /home/pecos/... Why this? Something, I presume it's the "quota daemon" of the "solaris-machin" that you are working on, tells your zope, that the 'Disc quota exceeded'. So what to do about that? 1. get rid of files you don't need anymore -- try to start zope 2. ask your sysadmin to give you more diskspace. this can be a hard one ;-) -- try to start zope I'm sure that after you've solved this problem, you are going to run into 'zope-problems' ;-) Try to go for the Zope Book online http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/. gruezi ;-) p@ -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Im Auftrag von Gabriela Arevalo Gesendet: Montag, 23.

[Zope] AW: [Zope] Trying to follow tutorial
Hi J.J., this problem is a result of the restrictions applied by zope. Nothing is wrong with that. It is just that it's not explained thouroughly or most people new to zope tend to overread that in the manual ;-) Here's what You do: 1. Login as the Superuser (the primary account provided after installing zope) and create a new user in path_to_zope/acl_users '(e.g. Koos). Provide Password when asked in the form and apply the role 'manager' to that user. 2. logout as superuser (e.g. close all browsers...) 3. login as the user you have just created 4. go on with the tutorial... This should help you to get going with zope. Besides that, working with zope is worth every minute of it :-) p@ -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Im Auftrag von Schut, Koos (Koos) Gesendet: Dienstag, 24.

[Zope] AW: [Zope] newbie inquiry about zope
Phew Aharon, many questions... Did you take a closer look at zope.org? I think many questions are answered within the site. But let's get going... 1) Could Zope help me keep track of who is reading what and match people up for discussion? You could track down people with cookies :-( or sessions :-) Both can be achieved with zope. I'd go for sessions - though I am not a programmer. From what I know and what I think your idea is aiming to sessions would help you to set up framework powerfull enough to reach your goals. Besides how to you deal with people who won't allow cookies? Then you could analyse the informatios gathered within the sessions and provide a "People who read this, also read that" ;-) 2) Could Zope help me personalize the fonts and other display settings for each user? How about letting users create their own bookmarks within the texts? As for the bookmarks I don't know, but the fonts etc. could be done with 'skins'. I've seen a project on zope.org that promoted such functions. See also http://www.zope.org/Members/hellmann/Chameleon/Chameleon-How-To 3) Could Zope help me manage user created content and the relations between content and its creators? yupp. 4) Could Zope handle right to left text and non-Latin character sets? Is that a job for zope? To me this seems to be a Browsers job e.g. meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-5" in the head section of the HTML that is sent to the Browser. Or am I missing something? 5) What are the advantages/disadvantages to developing this site with Zope as opposed to MySQL and PHP? I can't comment on that, since I am not a programmer. For me it's a elaborated framework that provides functions needed for managing content e.g. versions, authentification ;-) etc. Get a closer insight at http://www.zope.org/Tour/ar01.html AFAIK you'd have to develop these basic functions from scratch if you use plain MySQL and PHP. 6) Could Zope help me make the same content available to ordinary web browsers and wireless devices in different formats? Are you after WAP? There is code that does that... http://www.zope.org/Members/Duncan/wap_howto and then there's XML... :-) 7) Since we are going to be having discussion, we might want to stream voice between users and also stream pre-recorded voice. Any support for that? Hmmm, do you mean something like 'Zope Streaming Server' AFAIK I haven't read about that... But why stream this from zope? There are other servers that are spezialised on that. I'd use a combination; zope as a frontend to provide the paths and the specific information bound to the stream 8) Where can I find speed benchmark information about Zope? What is it that you want to measure? Anyway: There was a benchmark a while ago in the news. I couldn't find it immediately which doesn't mean it's not there... 9) Where can I find virtual server and collocation hosting for my site if I want to use zope, or do I have to administrate my own server? http://www.zope.org/Resources/ZSP But let's think of your projects requirements first. What would you need to get the baby of the ground? Developing 1. If you use zope you will need zope :-| 2. You will have to develop a few Zope Products by yourself, either to implement features that aren't there yet or to customize and mingle other Products. That means you will need to have shell access to the machine you build your site on. 3. You will need at least ftp-access to your zope-dir in order to implement the new products. If you use only one machine, which I do not recommend, you are done with 2.) 4. ZODB (the Database zope runs on...) is a good database. Still many developers have their reasons to use a second DB mostly a relational Database e.g. Oracle or MySQL Serving 1. If your site hits the net and is a hit, you'll probably need: bandwidth and response time are needed. Reasonably for serving that starts from 2Mbps upwards. 2. If you go for ISPs they provide both: bandwitdh and short response times. Furthermore the offer features as backup (who does it regularly???) and probably better firewalling that you can do at your own. If you decide to take care of that by yourself, you will have to take care not only of the development but also of the above mentioned features plus a few more. Also if you want to stream media you'd be off good if you have a streaming proxy in order to take load of the machine that runs the server, when the going gets tough. Streaming proxys aren't cheap. ISPs can provide you with a solution that will serve not only your domain but also others. That makes it a lot cheaper and again you won't have to deal with the Streaming Proxy. So lets see, what I would do: I'd get two machines (bid + medium) that run the same OS; preferably Linux since it's cheap and there are enough people out there by now who really now their way around that OS. OTOH you'd should decide where to go first and decide on the ressources after that. I'd get an ISP
