[Zope-dev] Problem by counting the number of result of database query
Hi, I have one problem with a Zmethod. Here is the method: select *,summe=sum(count(*)) from neuigkeiten where ( username like '%!--#var suche--%' or autorloginname like '%!--#var suche--%' or headline like '%!--#var suche--%' or textfeld like '%!--#var suche--%') order by headline That is i want to select some data from database and save the number of data who are found in summe.(Number found:dtml-var summe is ok) There is no error at this level, but there is a problem when i list the result in the dtml document. There are more data as i need. Please would you help me to resolv this problem!!

[Zope-dev] MethodGeddon
http://www.zope.org/Wikis/zope-dev/MethodGeddon Just been reading about this and I was wondering how is coming along... Is it in the fishbowl under another name or should it be in the fishbowl? Shane, would the argument list be a management tab for methods? That sounds cool to me :-) I reckon 'self' should always be the equivalent of the python 'self' or not exist to avoid confusion. I guess that means it wouldn't get used much since it would be the actual method-object (and I thought that was an oxymoron ;-) but with the possibility opf things like __render__ and __call__, who knows... The argument list would be great, 'cos you could then be able to specify additional arguments of type 'binding' which might be any of the following from you list: (select by dropdown? ;-) Bind to the object containing a method, Bind to the object that acquired a method, and possibly Bind to the object containing the method in the context of the object that acquired the method, and maybe even When a method is defined in a ZClass, bind to the instance in such a way that attribute lookup is performed in the baseclasses of the class defining the method (aka bind to "super"). So you could get to any or all of those as you need in your method. Of course, new users wouldn't have to worry about this until they needed to do something that used it. The other option would be to have these automatically bound to certain names (like _ is now) but perhaps that would be more confusing? Thoughts and comments would be great :-) cheers, Chris ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
[Zope-dev] AcquisitionMadness
Evan, I wonder if the changes Shane suggested in MethodGeddon would make Simplified Acquistion suffice for what Steve was asking about? Also can you explain how from the example: Two path acquisition: A contains B1 and C1, B1 contains B2, C1 contains C2 How (Natural Acquisition): A.B1.B2.C1 == (((C1 o A) o (B1 o A)) o ((B2 o B1) o (B1 o A))) equates to: "Roughly speaking, search the objects in the reverse of the order they were mentioned in, along the shortest physical path between each object." and how it differs in effect from: A.B1.B2.C1 == (((C1 o A) o (B1 o A)) o (B2 o (B1 o A))) (which is what I think simplified Acquisition would return...) cheers, Chris PS: This might just be explaining how the (x o y) notation actually tells you where the object's attribute comes from :S (in the above example, how, in each case, the notation explains where C1 comes from...) PPS: What's happening with the Zope-Dev Wiki? Is it being fazed out? ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
[Zope-dev] Renaming ZClass instances in 2.2.0
In Zope 2.2.0, I can't rename ZClass instances.
When you rename something, lib/python/OFS/CopySupport.py's
_verifyObjectPaste() method gets called with the object you're renaming
as an argument. The method checks that the current user is authorized to
create objects of that kind, and that the current user is authorized to
create that object in the current context.
The problem seems to be that, in the case of renmaing a ZClass instance,
when the ZopeSecurityPolicy tries to get a __roles__ attribute for the
instance you're renaming, it can't find one.
I'm way out of my depth here, but I can get it to work again by adding
to the function PersistentClassDict() in lib/python/ZClasses/ZClass.py
(line 195 or so):
dict['__roles__']=('Manager',)
so that it looks like this:
def PersistentClassDict(doc=None, meta_type=None):
# Build new class dict
dict={}
dict.update(Template.__dict__)
if meta_type is not None:
dict['meta_type']=dict['__doc__']=meta_type
if doc is not None:
dict['__doc__']=doc
dict['__roles__']=('Manager',)
return dict
This only works for ZClasses defined after the change, though.
I have absolutely no idea what the side-effects of this change are, and
I'm not even entirely sure what it does :-)
It seems to fix the problems of renaming DataSkin-derived ZClasses too.
I've looked though the recent CVS checkins, and I can't see a fix for
this yet. I've also looked through the Collector, and I can't see this
problem reported.

Accepted notes are visible as some decorations, which - after being clicked - show small popup window with the note contents.

[Zope] Talking about revision history
The zope Undo mechanics is nice for clearing simple mistakes, but the screens filled with 'manage_edit by ...' does not provide too much information. What I would like is some high level website revision history. Below I discuss some ideas, please comment on them. Before details, main motivation: as the main zopesite manager (call me Stan ;-) ), I give my users permissions to edit parts of the website. But I would like to see their activities from the high level, with reports like 'at day such and such Johny the Spoiler performed change which he named "proofing our department pages" and this change touched the following objects: ...' (looks like info about saving a version enriched with info about objects saved). 1) I would like to disable the ability to edit anything outside some version. I guess that specifying some permissions in configuration would do, but before I spoil sth I would like to ask whether someone performed such a configuration and how was it defined? 2) Would be great, if attempt to edit outside of version prompted You are to edit this website outside any version. Choose to either join .dropdownlist of existingversions[JOIN] create and join new version of name: ...[CREATE] cancel edits[CANCEL] 3) Is it at all possible to check, whether some version is currently empty (no unsaved edits) or not - and if not, what is unsaved? 4) Is it possible (with current zope) to get changes history with manual edits grouped somehow (I'd prefer - instead of having 17 times 'manage_edit by xaut' - to see '17 manage_edit's by xaut') 5) CVS-like tagging mechanizm would be nice. Seems that version control is completely implemented, the only thing left is a method to add a comment at some places of database history - and to provide a method of browsing them. -- www.mk.maxi.pl | Even if we could state all of a system's Marcin.Kasperski | requirements, there are many details about a system @softax.com.pl | that we can only discover once we are well into its @bigfoot.com | implementation.

[Zope] dtml-in syntax
so i have this loop and i want to count a variable: dtml-in wherever dtml-if sequence-start dtml-var count-id /dtml-if /dtml-in but what i really want to count is specific values for id. so let's say id=='value1', i want to try and do the following: dtml-in wherever dtml-if sequence-start dtml-var "count-id=='value1'" /dtml-if /dtml-in but no luck. and i have tried several other make-shift syntaxes to no avail. i do have some other logic that i could use over the course of the loop to determine the count of distinct values but i was try to do it in far less code. anyone got an idea of how to rig this? thanks in advance, kyle ___ 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] Evaluate Zope for New App
Hi, I am in the process of evaluating the best architecture for a new Internet-based service that we are going to offer to the Japanese market. I would like to evaluate Zope, and I want your opinions on whether Zope as a solution is adequate, competitive, or the best one available. From my perspective, I am a firm believer that Python is a great language, and very efficient to build and maintain, and that Zope will also enjoy a bright future. But they are not as widely accepted as Java servlets / JSP / EJB on the web server backend. So I may have to work to convince the CEO that we should go against the industry on this matter, and any information you could provide would be helpful. One important point is that the interface will be all in Japanese. Please confirm that Zope can handle Unicode and / or other 2-byte character sets. The application will be designed for a financial industry to handle transactions between independent agents and their providers. The agents will get multiple quotations from multiple providers, while entering the customer data only once into our service. The functionality looks something like this. 1. The agent inputs about 100 pieces of data for the customer into our system. The exact data will vary, depending on specific product. We will store this information into our database. 2. The agent will choose several providers from a list. 3. The system will (mostly likely) use XML to send the customer data to the chosen providers. The providers will return to us pricing and some description of the product. 4. We will aggregate the quotations and present this to the agent. The agent will choose a few of the quotations to present to the customer. The agent will refresh the view, and print it for the customer. 5. If the customer chooses one of the products, the agent will enter the order to the system. Since the customer data is already there, we only need to pass a short XML message to the provider. 6. Our system will also have to track some information like which agents can use which providers, as well as commission rates. 7. We will also provide some sales automation functionality to the agents, but the exact details depends on the segment of the agent market we go after. Some examples might include calculating commission rates, querying customer birthdays to remind the agent to send them a card, etc. In general our server will not provide that much processing of the customer data, either during or after the transaction. Mostly we are saving it and passing it between the agents and the providers. However this data does need to be encrypted over SSL. I think we could do the SSL encryption on an edge device, but I would be curious to find out how others have handled this with Zope. I would like the list to help me with the following. - How suitable is Zope for this type of application? - What is a common back-end data storage for Zope in this type of application. - We need scaleability and redundancy. How suitable is Zope for this? - Any other comments or questions. Best regards - g -- These || G. Alan Tucker || Failure is not an option. . .

This may be what you already thought of. It does require a lot of

cleaner ways to do it???
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('this_count', 0)"
dtml-in wherever
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('current_id', _['sequence-item'])"
dtml-if "current_id=='id_to_count'"
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('this_count', this_count+1)"
/dtml-if current_id
/dtml-in wherever
I counted dtml-var this_count items.

Re: [Zope] Using Zope and Worldpilot on a large site
Paolo Bizzarri wrote: Hi Zopers, we would like to use Zope for an ISP, with more than 400.000 customers. Zope would be used with Worldpilot, in order to provide Webmail, Calendar, to do, etc. THis demonstrates a problem or two with Worldpilot. I would defintiely _not_ use worldpilot in that setting. Why not? Well, the sharing capability (IIRC) gives a list of people on the system you can share with. Think about that for a moment. Four hundred thousand people. One list. It would be nice if it were possible for people to not appear in the list, and for there to be groups. THe way I would see that working is that by default, a user is not liste din the sharing options, and has a checkbox to change it. Then, they could be seperated by groups, either on some algorithm, or by other logical divisions (marketing, webusers, RD). Has anyone tried the scalability of Zope till this level ? Well, what you are describing really isn't a test of Zope's scaleability. , but rather workdpilots (and the machines's). Zope's scalability in this case is more a matter of resource usage, than a funtion of the number of users. Thats is to say, what is the expected load of the machine/site. 400,000 users will not access all at once, will they? Zope can be scaled accross multiple machines, through the use of ZEO, so if your load gets too high, you can move to a ZEO solution, adding machines as neccessary. One caveat to that is that worldpilot stores data on the filesystem, so that data would need replicated accross the sites. Perhaps NFS or Coda could server this function.
