 This is also more difficult than it sounds.  You'd have to either scan

 properties with a magical, unchanging ID.  The latter solution is dead
 wrong, but the first is actually kind of interesting.  If there were a
 separate index for each object type in the ZODB, it would be possible.
 In fact, when ZODB is running from a relational database, there is
 indeed a way to do that.  Hmmm...
 
 Or if your ZClass has a python base class, then a __setstate__ method
 could be added to do the same thing incrementally. Like all changes to
 a Python base class, this requires restarting the server.

Correct in theory, but broken in practice:  if you make your ZClass
persistent (i.e., you leave checked the "Include standard Zope
persistent object base classes?" checkbox on the "Add ZClass form),
then Persistent will be the first base class in the list, and *your*
'__setstate__' will never be called!

Some more theory thats not backed up by any practical experience in
this area: Would it be sufficent to create a base class that derives
from Persistent and then uncheck the box? or does that checkbox get
involved in some other magic?

*why* my ZClasses' '__setstate__' would not be called!  The
'zope_object' flag passed to 'manage_addZClass' causes
OFS.SimpleItem.Item to be *appended* to the base class list (so

Re: [Zope-dev] Conflict Errors

2000-11-20 Thread Chris McDonough

It happens when more than one thread tries to modify the same object in
storage at the same time.  It's Zope's equivalent of record-locking... It's
normal.  There's no corruption or anything, it's telling you that it avoided
a write that might have caused problems.  Zope tries three times to retry
the write.  If the object is still locked by another database connection
after three writes, it propogates the exception up to the app level.  That's
the error you see.

Careful application coding can reduce the chance of conflict errors.  I've
seen conflict errors pop up a lot when the catalog is used for whatever
reason, especially with catalogaware.  I bet it happens on a catalog write
for you.  I think this may have something to do with the current BTree
implementation's propensity to write child-parent relationships all the way
up and down the tree every time a node changes.

I know your next questions are going to be "why?" and "how do I fix it?" and
"why don't you fix it?".  Chris Petrilli did some work on the catalog for
2.2.3 that might have a positive impact.  The catalog is (I think) being
actively worked on if you can nail it down some, it'd probably be
helpful to figure out when the conflicterror occurs and pass it along to
Chris in the collector.  Besides that, I don't have any specific hints for
you, besides waiting for the new BTree implementation.  The answer to
"when?":  I have no idea.

HTH,

C

The CalendarTag's purpose is to render calendars in html (or dtml ;-)
documents. The webmaster only has to code the rendering of one cell (day),
and the CalendarTag does the rest.

Since MS-Outlook isn't a web browser I doubt you can use it, however in a
day cell you can do whatever you want, so maybe you can send mails
whenever someone sees this day, and receive the mails in Outlook.

Maybe someone else has got a better idea.

bye, and good luck.

At 02:28 20.11.2000, you wrote:
i've increased the cache numbers in Control_Panel.  i've also increased the
thread numbers.  i've moved graphics to be served by apache.

not the best idea to serve graphics by apache. The setup in our company seems nice to 
me and looks like this:
squid in http-accelerated mode - see the various squid-related HowTo's
(listening on port 80 and sending requests to port 81) -
apache for ssl-functionality - configured as in Howto "Apache+ZServer+SSL"
(listening on port 81 and on port 443 (ssl)) -
ZServer
(listening on port 8080)

BTW: we do not use the FTP-Server feature of Zope, since it sometimes kills all Zope 
servers - tested on 2 different machines with different flavours of Linux :-(

Don't forget to tell squid that it can cache your pages a while (we use 
1hour=3600secs):
standard_html_header should start with something like this:

dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Expires', _.DateTime(_.DateTime().timeTime() + 
3600).toZone('GMT').rfc822())"
dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Last-Modified', 
bobobase_modification_time().toZone('GMT').rfc822())"
html...

(the dtml-source is from "Howto: Caching with mod_proxy", but Apache didn't work right 
for us: it stored broken images in its cache, so we use squid in front of apache as 
proxy, and apache for ssl-redirects.)

the setup as described above works great for us: Zope (and PostgreSQL behind it) 
doesn't have much to do, since all graphics and html-outputs are stored in squid for 1 
hour. (except with shift-reload, of course)

Hope that helps,

Martin

The string supplied to getitem() can't contain dots since it should be

Given that you're passing a 1 as getitem's second attribute, the
following is probably better code:

dtml-var container_metatype

Another thought: If Zope would offer s/r, then a bunch of programmers
would stick in their bad behaviour _not_ implementing dtml-var's, because
"it's easy and effortless to replace everything from 'Copyright 2000' to
'Copyright 2001'". But think of it: Maybe this string is correct somewhere 
and SHOULD stay the same. So s/r is at least inefficient, because you'd 
have to check every file whether Zope should replace or not.


try and do this correctly:

dtml-in customers
The customer is: dtml-var customer
/dtml-in

Search: "customer"
Replace: "buyer"

[Zope] how-to list all the zclasses constructors ?

2000-11-20 Thread Didier Georgieff

Hello,

I need to have a simple list choice for adding ZClasses instances instead 
of using manage_workspace (because the users are really *end* users 
and speaks french).

We are using Yihaw and extending it with news Zclasses.
So we have a Zclass, a my_addForm in french , my_add methods and a 
my_factory.

All works fine when i call that directly from DTML giving the method name 
in **hard coding**, and works fine when i use manage_workspace (it 
propose all my new factories in the Add list but in english with zope 
interface).

What i want is getting the list of factories (automatically) in my 
personnalized page (instead of hard coding it).

I guess it should be simple to generate the list of constructors and 
proposing the associated methods, but i just can't figure how to do that ;-

Any tip and/or explanation would be welcome, and i'll summarize all that in 
an how-to (in complement of the Adding Zclasses instances 
programatically) 

Thanks in advance.

[Zope] Retrieving the week number from strftime()

2000-11-20 Thread Jacob Lundqvist

Ok this is not the quickest of responses ;)

I found an old thread about week numbers, where you suggested dividing the 
dayOfYear by 7

That only works if the year starts on the first day of week

What surprised me is that the normal python method wasn't mentined anywhere 
in the thread

I think simpler is:

ZopeTime().strftime('%U')   # Sunday as firtst day
ZopeTime().strftime('%W')   # Monday as firtst day


Gives you current week as a two diggit number

/Jacob Lundqvist


torsdag 03 augusti 2000 04:21 skrev du:
 I suspect there is no 'standard' definition of week number.

 E.g. if the year begins on a Wednesday, is the following Monday part
 of week 1 or week 2?

 Once you decide, you can design a calculation starting with
 "some_date_object.dayOfYear()" which will give you the day number in
 the range 1 to 365 (or 366).

 The simplest algorithm would be to say days 1-7 are week 1, 8-14
 are week 2, etc.  In that case

  ((some_date_object.dayOfYear() - 1) / 7) + 1

 (or in dtml)

   dtml-var "((some_date_object.dayOfYear() - 1) / 7) + 1"

 will compute a week number (in the range 1 to 53).


 If your weeks must begin on Sundays, or Mondays, or whatever, you'll
 have to first request the dow() from the first day of the relevant
 year, and do a calculation based on how far into the week the first
 calendar day of the year falls.  If you want help with that,
 describe the algorithm you want to use.

 Good luck.

RE: [Zope] RE: ANNOUNCE Zope 2.2.3 release...

2000-11-20 Thread Brian Lloyd

 How long before we end up with 2.2.4 a3 and 2.2.4 b1 with no-one really
 knowing what's going on?
 Taking what is effectively another point onto the version number doesn't
 really help. I can only think of 2.1.7 that was withdrawn, and as long
 as 2.2.4 comes along pretty swiftly, there shouldn't really be a
 problem, should there?

Well, some people perceive it to be problem (and I can't 
really blame them). What we _really_ need is some regression 
testing infrastructure. We have started taking some baby steps 
in that direction with the inclusion of PyUnit, but it will 
take some time and resources to get a meaningful amount of 
tests. Hopefully the recent Good Things happening here at DC 
will mean that the necessary resources will become available 
to make that happen.

In the meantime, since Brian is a poor regression test rig, I 
plan to have a (generally very short - like a week) beta period 
for third-dot releases. One beta should usually do it, and it 
will allow at least for more coverage than I can easily contrive
from my desktop as a sanity check. When the test infrastructure 
is more mature we could revisit this though.

Re: [Zope] Search and replace

2000-11-20 Thread Daniel Rusch

I have been following this thread with mild amusement. Those of you who
don't think that there is any need for a search and replace are being,
at the least, disingenuous. Have you never needed to replace a dtml var
that is on a hundred or more pages with another one, but replace it only
on some of the pages???

The lack of a search and replace, a find that actually "finds" a string
on a page (instead of just the page) and other standard editor features
are the reasons why Zope is being phased out of this companies (15,000
person worldwide company, the worlds largest web hosting and fiber optic
network) web tool set. 

Don't get me wrong, I think Zope is the greatest thing since sliced
bread. But, if Zope is to become anything other than a bastion for open
source zealots (myself included), a real editor is a necessity not a
nicety! Zope had the opportunity to sweep this company ( it could have
ended up on hundreds if not thousands of servers) but the lack of a
professional interface doomed it.

[Zope] Zope / DCOracle / ZOracleDA / Oracle 7.3.3 crash/respawn problem

2000-11-20 Thread Chris Beaumont

Zopatistas!

;)

I am using the most recent versions of (Linux) DCOracle and ZOracleDA to
connect my Zope (2.1.6) installation to a copy of Oracle 7.3.3 running
on another (Solaris) machine. The Oracle database is rock solid, but I
have been having a problem with Zope, one I need to fix.

Basically, Zope is occasionally crashing when an SQL query is made.
(with valid or invalid syntax.. it doesn't matter)

This happens several times a day and makes the website unavailable for
two or three minutes while Zope restarts. Obviously, this will not do
for a production website.

I have noticed that some other people have had this problem and posted
to the list in the past.

Please, if you know the solution to this..and have a moment, let me know
what you did, or think I should do.

Compilation tips, or a stable combination of ZOracleDA/DCOracle that I
can use...

Reliability is very important to this project.

  "Shutdown" from Zope's Control Panel (to stop Zope)
  "start" (in Zope's installation directory) to start Zope.

  There is a way to start Zope at NT service.

The argument to "dtml-in" is a sequence of objects.
"dtml-in" iterates over the objects.
In each iteration, "dtml-in" exports the current objects attributes

Thus, "seq", "vid", ... are probably attributes of your objects.

Look at the built-in Zope API reference: User object.
The User object has methods to read and change the information
associated with a user.

These methods are (of cause) protected such that only
users with high priviledges can execute them.
You will need to set a proxy role for the DTML object
that calls them, in order to allow less priviledged users

I answer with a general remark:

  Whenever you see that the Zope management interface does something
  you are interested in, you can learn how it is done by
  looking at the DTML source that built the respective management
  page.

In your case, this is "OFS/main.dtml":

  SELECT NAME=":method" 
ONCHANGE="location.href='dtml-URL1;/'+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value"
  dtml-in filtered_meta_types mapping sort=name
OPTION value="dtml.url_quote-action;"dtml-name;
  /dtml-in
  /SELECT

"filtered_meta_types" is a list of registered meta type objects.
A meta type object has attributes "name", the meta type,
and "action", the associated constructor.

[Zope] Version Lock/save/discard Problem

2000-11-20 Thread Júlio Dinis Silva

Hi,

I created a version in my zope root in which I've been working
for some days. I created some objects on my root folder when
working on my version which caused root to became locked.

Now I want to save/commit my version. I go to the save/discard form
and the save form post looks to work okay, i.e, I have a undo log
of this commit and If I try to save again Zope tells me there
is nothing else to save in the current version.

But... when I try to delete my version I get a VersionLockError,
and my root folder is still being locked.

Same goes to Discard, i.e, apparentely zope do the save/discard but
the locked files/folders continues there.

I've tryed with superuser, and even on the Control Panel Version manage,
with no luck.

I'm using zope222.
I'm using latest release of ZEO.
I do a pack to my Data.fs on a daily basis.

Anyone had this problem, any help?

Thanx,
Júlio Dinis Silva

Re: [Zope] Permission problems...

   The object in question is, in fact, standard_html_header, of all things.
   With the way the objects are set up, it's only rendering the same
   objects as from the previous page, with a little extra processing due to
   submitted form values.

 This is definitely not enough information.


No, you're right.. it's not enough information 

 Either your permissions are strange (you ruled this out) or
 "standard_html_header" contains something strange that
 maybe triggers a Zope bug (2.1.6. contained such bug,
 when you e.g. used 'ZopeFind' or 'ZopeFindAndApply').


As it turns out, I found the problem to be something wholy unrelated to 
standard_html_header.   To be honest, I don't entirely understand the fault, 
but it's gone away now.

Sorry for not posting a retraction to this question.

 We may help you, if you post your "standard_html_header".

[Zope] ZClass/DTML Document transparency

2000-11-20 Thread Randall Kern



Hi all,

I have a folder (foo) which contains a set of DTML Documents, and instances 
of a ZClass.

From another DTML document, I enumerate the contents of this folder, using 
a DTML-IN tag:

dtml-in expr="bar.foo.objectValues()" sort="order"
...
/dtml-in

My problem is with ..., namely dealing with both 
DTML documents and ZClasses. In the case of 
DTML Documents, the following works fine:

dtml-var sequence-item

In the case of ZClasses, I have to use something 
like this:

dtml-with sequence-item
 dtml-var index_html
/dtml-with

So I'm using this:

dtml-if expr="_['sequence-var-meta_type'] == 
'DTML Document'" dtml-var 
sequence-itemdtml-else dtml-with 
sequence-item dtml-var index_html 
/dtml-with/dtml-if


But this is rather ugly, and it's the sort of thing 
one shouldn't have to do in an oo system.

So, is there a better way?

[Zope] What is 'Experimental LoginManager support' in PTK?

2000-11-20 Thread Dirksen

In the 2nd step of creating a portal site, there's a
'Database' option list. One can choose 'Zope Database'
or 'Experimental LoginManager support'. If I pick the
latter, I'll end up with such error:
Error Type: NameError
Error Value: Invalid/nonexistent ZClass
'MembershipZ/LoginMember'

Does the 'experimental' mean 'unfunctional'? How can I
make it work?

[Zope] PTK won't let me add objects

2000-11-20 Thread Paul Winkler

Hi,

I'm working on a site based on the PTK DemoPortal. PTK is a great
product, so I was happy to see a new release announced recently and
took the opportunity (yesterday) to update my PTK installation from
CVS. Well, now the Zope management interface won't let me add anything
inside the Portal except Document, Link, News Item, Portal File,
Portal Folder, and Portal Image. I'm NOT talking about the Portal
interface - just the plain old Zope "Available Objects" button.

Was this done on purpose? If so, why on earth would you want to
prevent anyone from adding so much as a humble DTML method?? We're not
talking about the end-user interface here.

For now I'm going to revert to an old version of PTK, bugfixes be
damned. I can't get any work done in this version.

Re: [Zope] PoPy

On Mon, 30 Oct 2000 10:43:16 +1030 (CST) you wrote:

ImportError: ./PoPymodule.so: Undefined symbol "sem_wait"

Take a look at the man page for sem_wait().  Take the
library/libraries listed there and put them on the
configure line for PoPy.  In my case (Solaris 2.6), I
added "--with-libs=-lposix4".

It'd be nice if PoPy would do this on its own.

[Zope] User Class

2000-11-20 Thread Keith Alperin

Greetings.  I'm a bit of a Zope and Python newbie, so please forgive me
if I get some of the lingo wrong.  I would like to build a user class in
python where I can store information like "First Name", "Last Name" etc.
I would also like to store the userid and password in the instances of
this class, and authenticate against them.  It seems as though I should
inherit from the Zope user class, but I'm not sure exactly how to go
about doing that.  

Thanks so much in advance!
Keith R. Alperin

[Zope] security problems .. should be fairly easy...

2000-11-20 Thread Bowyer, Alex

I know I am posting quite a lot of questions to the list lately, sorry about
that, it's just that I can save myself hours of trial-and-error coding when
I get quick answers from list, so I hope you don't mind. It seems to be the
fastest way to learn.

I have a news page ZClass and a news article ZClass, both of which have
several DTML methods. All methods apart from index_html should require a
particular user role, "UAAdmin", to be held by the current user (thee
mathods are all for editing anf manging the news page and articles). The
index_html methods (which display the news article) should be available for
anonymous access.

I have been stuck with this for over a week now, I have tried all sort of
combinations of permissions, defined permissions and user roles, but I can't
figure it out and I can't find any examples in any of the Zope documentation
about how to manage permissions for class methods. Does anyone know where I
could find such documentation or examples if there are any?

The whole thing's very confusing, but here's what I've worked out so far.
Maybe someone could put me right and/or fill in the gaps?
I think what I need to do is got the Define Permissions tab for each method,
and for the View permission dropdown I should select View for the index_html
method, and some other permission X for every other method. This other
permission X should only be granted to the UAAdmin role. The question is,
what is X to put in the dropdown, and how to assign it to UAAdmin. How would
I go about creating a new permission, perhaps "Manage news pages", and how
could I then assign that to UAAdmin? Would it then appear in the drop-down?
Is this the right approach? How would I finish this off? Am I barking up the
wrong tree? 

Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome.

Thanks for your patience with newbies like me!!
