Re: [Zope-dev] more on keyword indexes

2000-12-18 Thread Josh Zeidner


Hello,

  Thanks for all the replies.  Its seems there are two conflicting answers 
to my questions.  Steve Alexander says that it is possible to query indexes 
using the syntax dtml-in "Catalog.searchResults( doc_keywords = 
['one','two','ect'] .  However, Dieter says that it is not yet possible to 
query for more than one keyword at once.  It seems to me that these two 
sentiments are mutually exclusive.  Am I mistaken here?

Not that I know of.

You either have to extend ZCatalog or wait some time.
There are different people working on ZCatalog enhancements.

  Again, I am reporting a bug 
You already know the Collector?
It is Zope's bug tracking system.

You find it via zope.org.
Its old URL has been

 URL:http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector

but this might have changed after the recent changes on zope.org.


I have had very good response to Collector bug reports for Zope itself.
At least in the past, bug reports and even patches for ZCatalog
probably have been ignored, however. I hope, this has changed
meanwhile.

By the way:

   *  What does "unpredictable results" mean?

[Zope-dev] keyword indexes

2000-12-14 Thread Josh Zeidner

Hi,

  Currently I am wrestling with "keyword" indexes in ZCatalogs.  How do I
query the ZCatalog for all records of objects indexed on a particular
keyword.  For instance if my index is named MediaKeyword ive tried:

 dtml-in "Catalog.searchResults( MediaKeywords = ['ouch'] )"

   this has completely unpredictable results.

 dtml-in "Catalog.searchResults( MediaKeywords in ['ouch'] )"

   this returns all indexed objects!

  What am I doing wrong?  Is there a special ZCatalog function for querying
keyword indexes?  I need some insight into this problem.

   Thanks!
Josh Zeidner

[Zope-dev] more on keyword indexes

2000-12-14 Thread Josh Zeidner

Hello,

  I did a little more investigiation into the problem, and couldnt really
find any documentation anywhere on what the actual semantics are of keywords
and how they are queried.  For instance:

  I have three classes and each has an keyword index named KW:

  ObjectOne:KW = ['one','blue','furry']
  ObjectTwo:KW = ['two','flying','purple']
  ObjectThree:  KW = ['three','one-eyed','purple']

  If I were to query the ZCatalog with the following set of words:
['purple'] I would expect to get:

ObjectTwo
ObjectThree

  Right?  If I query the database with ['one','two'] ( if this type of thing
is at all possible ), I get :

ObjectOne
ObjectTwo

  This seems like the obvious result: BUT: it depends if you want a AND/OR
type search.  I could also expect to get nothing( if its an AND type search
because no records match 'one' and 'two' ).  Here is better example, what if
I queried: ['purple','one-eyed'].  Would I be expecting only ObjectThree or
[ ObjectThree, ObjectTwo ] ( because they both match the keyword purple( a
logical set-intersection ) ).

  Also I found the keyword indexes to have some more obvious bugs.  If I
only used one keyword for the matching critiria,  for instance if I used
'purple' , I would only get ObjectTwo.  Is anyone else using keyword
indexes?  In what way are you using them?


   Thanks,

   Josh Zeidner

  WROX contacted me a while back saying they wanted to do a Zope book as 
well.  Does anyone know anything about this?

  -josh



Just thought we'd mention that we have gotten lots of great comments on
the Zope book so far, especially in the last week or so.  You're all
helping make it a better book and ensuring Zope's future.  if you've
felt in the past that you may not be technically proficient enough to
contribute to the technology of Zope, you can certainly contribute to
the documentation by catching our mistakes and making good observations
and asking good questions. It is really, really helping.  Keep it up,
cuz we're not done yet!

Thanks,

Michel and Amos

Re: [Zope-dev] Product Data Storage

2000-06-30 Thread Josh Zeidner



You should look into using ZCatalog for this purpose.

-josh zeidner



I have an interesting issue which I don't think has been raised.  But
instead of solving the issue myself I thought I would share it with you
guys/gals and see what you think.

I am currently working on a Zope MailIn product, which allows you to send
emails directly in to Zope.
Version 0.1 can be found at:
http://www.zope.org/Members/NIP/ZMailIn

In version 0.2 I plan to have a ZMailIn python product which will handle 
the
Zope side of things and behave a bit like a client.  For example you could
add a ZMailIn product instance in to Zope and configure it to receive all
emails for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and provide a method to execute upon mail
arrival.

This is great and you could have n ZMailIn product instances throughout 
your
Zope site and in any position.

When email arrives I need to find all the ZMailIn instances within the ZODB
and hand the email to the correct one.

I have decided AGAINST searching the ZODB for instances of ZMailIn because
that is just too scary, hideously inefficient and I don't want to go there.
Instead I thought of keeping an up-to-date list of where all the current
instances where held.  My original idea was to get the ZMailIn product to
write a file in to the /lib/python/Products/ZMailIn directory, which
shouldn't cause any problems that I can see.

However, It had occurred to me that with the current growth of Zope it was
going to become more popular that separate Zope instances of the same
product may need to share some data.

So my question is this:
What are peoples opinions on storing shared product data?  Where should it
be placed?  Should this ability be added to Zope as a standard?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Zope-dev] zope-cocoon interoperability( Zope/XML )

2000-06-21 Thread Josh Zeidner



  You should definately take a look at the work being done with Zope and 
XML.  In a nutshell, DC and FourThought are making the Zope object tree DOM 
compliant.  In addition, XSLT operations will be supported similar to the 
way DTML methods interact with Zope.  Also XPath and XLink are being 
examined for thier integration with Zope and ZDOM.  The list can be found on 
egroups.com, named Zope-XML .

Re: [Zope-dev] The future of Zope with XML( what does ZDOM do for us? )

2000-06-02 Thread Josh Zeidner


Hi Kevin,

  What FourThought/DC are currently doing with Zope will allow for fast 
transformations to memory-resident structured data( ZDOM or whatever ) to 
exportable XML documents( which are simply strings of characters ).  This 
introduces( to the Zope world ) cutting edge metaphors in web-application 
design.  All data to be served to a client is some form of XML: including 
HTML ( a better term: structured data ).  The internal structure, or 
representation( or "deep structure" if you are into Chomsky ),  is the 
data/knowledge as the web site managers see it- and most likely the most 
accurate and flexible when dealing with the particular information-domain( 
this is what theyre paid for :) ).  Each user has custom needs- and wants to 
see this information the way they( or the applications working on thier 
behalf ) are accustomed to.  So, architectually speaking, we need a way to 
easily and quickly construct XML documents from some meta-type( our internal 
structure ).  This is what ZDOM is accomplishing for us.

  Parsing is a expensive endeavor.  It is not practical to parse character 
streams every time we want to get at our data.  So the solution is to 
represent the data as something more computationally digestible.  Again : 
this is what ZDOM is accomplishing for us.

  Does this answer your question?

  have a good weekend,

Hello,

 Thanks for getting this document going. It's good to see where XML is
going in Zope.

 I do have a question, though. For me, the main value in XML has been 
in
its usefulness as a flexible interchange format. Right now, I can store 
data
as objects (either straight Python or ZClasses) in Zope and transform those
into XML if I need to share it with the outside world (eg RSS). Similarly,
though I haven't done this, I believe I can take XML from the outside 
world,
parse it and store it in objects in the database. Are there advantages to
storing the data in Zope as XML vs. storing my data as objects?

Thanks,
Kevin

Re: [Zope-dev] The future of Zope with XML( XSLT revisited )

2000-06-02 Thread Josh Zeidner


Hi,

  It is great stuff! ( similar idea to Apache Cocoon )... now all we need is 
someone to put in an XSLT( 4XSLT ) processor into the core Zope code-  are 
there any immediate plans for this?  note: i realize this has been discussed 
before :) .

  -thanks, Josh Z



Hi, Josh

 Thanks for the insight! I also just noticed that there is a whole lot 
of
good information already up there in the Wiki. This does look like great
stuff. I see how it complements Zope's current data storage capabilities. 
It
provides good ways to move XML data in and out of the ZODB via XSLT and to
store and manipulate XML data efficiently using XML Documents. These are
excellent capabilities indeed.

 Have a great weekend!

[Zope-dev] XPath and Aquisition Incompatible?

2000-06-02 Thread Josh Zeidner


hi,

  I was just looking over the Wiki on Zope XML, and came across the current 
notes on XPath.  I tend to think that XPath( which is a relative 
discripition of a tree traversal ), and Aquisition( which implies quite a 
bit based on where it gets executed )- may not be exactly compatible.  Has 
there been any discussion on this?
