Subject: [Zope] Setting the sort var in dtml-in ...sort=sortVar


Does anybody know if it is possible to programatically set the sort
parameter in something like: dtml-in getAllComments sort=fwd_thread

It's the fwd_thread in "sort=fwd_thread" i want to set via dtml to avoid:

dtml-if "sortBy=='fwd_thread'"
dtml-in getAllComments sort=fwd_thread
Do sorted stuff
/dtml-in
dtml-elif "sortBy=='author'"
dtml-in getAllComments sort=author
Do sorted stuff
/dtml-in
etc.
etc.
/dtml-if

Or alternativley, is it possible to use the sort from dtml-in in a Python
Product as a method on the list that getAllComments() returns?

Yes I could roll my own but it would be easier to use Zope's, if I knew how
to.

[Zope-dev] Implementing a URL path resolver

2001-01-18 Thread morten

Hi guys,

I've been tinkling with a function that does what REQUEST.resolve_url does,
except without it relying on having a REQUEST instance available.

That is, just resolving the path itself, something like this:

path ÿstring.split(relative_url, '/')
path ÿfilter(None, path)
new_path ÿ'%s' % path[0]
path ÿpath[1:]

for element in path:

new_path ÿnew_path + "['%s']" % element

return eval("self%s" % new_path)

Now, neither []- or .-like evaluation of the path works..

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Morten

Have you seen the methods restrictedTraverse and unrestrictedTraverse in 
lib/python/OFS/Traversable.py ?

These would seem to do what you need. The methods restrictedTraverse is 
available from DTML.

[Zope-dev] MountedFileStorage

2001-01-18 Thread Steve Alexander

I've just been trying out the MountedFileStorage product (by Anthony 
Baxter) with Zope 2.3.

I've got it mostly working, by patching a couple of typos, and making 
the SubApplication class derive from Traversable before Application.

I've *almost* got ZClasses defined in the root storage working in a 
mounted storage, but there are still a few issues there.


What product is DC using for the mounted storages on zope.org? Can I get 
a copy of it?

I don't see any undo records for objects in the mounted storage. It is a 
FileStorage, so I reckon they should be there.

[Zope-dev] skinscript and URL traversal question

2001-01-18 Thread Aaron Payne

Hi all,

I originally posted this to the zope list and, upon suggestion, I am 
reposting it to zope-dev.

I'm using a zsql method in a skinscript with query ... compute ... and it 
mostly works. Retrieving the dataskin with getItem() works.  For example,
Cid is the id of the coupon dataskin.
dtml-with "getItem(Cid)"
   dtml-var couponattributes
/dtml-with

Trying to access the object directly through URL traversal fails.
http://CouponSite/CouponManager/977931214.694/CouponDetails

Where:
CouponManager is a specialist
977931214.694 is the id of the coupon dataskin
CouponDetails displays the coupon attributes with:
dtml-var couponattributes
It returns a not found error. The CouponManager specialist can't find the 
coupon 977931214.694.
Any thoughts why this is so?

SkinScript Trigger:
WITH QUERY searchByNameCheck(self.id) COMPUTE 
name,username,coupon_text,categorylist,categoryheader,expirationdate,status,couponterms

PythonMethod:
searchByNameCheck
paramsself,nameparams
Cname=name

[Zope-dev] Calling HTMLFiles

2001-01-18 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi,

I'm having difficulties calling an HTML file from python..

Here's the code:

[...]
from events import conflicting_events

calendar_event_add_redirect = HTMLFile('calendar_event_add_redirect',
globals())
manage_add_calendar_event_form = HTMLFile('calendar_event_add', globals())
conflicting_events_dialogue = HTMLFile('calendar_event_conflicting_events_dialogue', 
globals())

# These two expand into seconds
expand_hour = lambda x: x * 60 * 60
expand_minute = lambda x: x * 60

def manage_add_calendar_event(self, title='', note='',
alarm=0, start=0, end=0,
priority=0, status=0,
REQUEST=None, RESPONSE=None):
"Add an instance of the calendar_event class."

new_id = str(self.get_unique_id())

if REQUEST:

alarm = expand_hour(REQUEST['alarm_hour']) + \
expand_minute(REQUEST['alarm_minute'])

start = expand_hour(REQUEST['start_hour']) + \
expand_minute(REQUEST['start_minute'])

end = expand_hour(REQUEST['end_hour']) + \
expand_minute(REQUEST['end_minute'])

title = REQUEST['title']
note = REQUEST['note']
priority = REQUEST['priority']
status = REQUEST['status']


conflicting_events_ = self.check_timespan(
self.getParentNode().getParentNode().id,
self.getParentNode().id, self.id,
start, end)

if conflicting_events_:

return conflicting_events_dialogue(self, REQUEST)
[...]

Now, if there are any conflicting events, the HTMLFile is returned, with
some parameters passed along.

What I'm wondering about is how can I pass the variables defined
in the REQUEST so that they can be looked up with dtml-code in
the conflicting_events_dialogue?

And doing it without raising KeyErrors on DTMLMethod that are
called from within the conflicting_events_dialogue?

Thanks.

http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/ExternalMount

ExternalMount is simpler and more flexible than MountedFileStorage. 
However, a feature of MountedFileStorage is that it lets you try to
mount the root of a ZODB.  For various reasons, that is a Bad Idea. 
That's why it has all the "subapplication" stuff, which ExternalMount
doesn't need because it won't let you mount the root of a ZODB.

Instead, you mount a subobject.  The application object in Wikis.fs on
zope.org contains a folder called "Wikis".  That folder is what gets
mounted; whatever else is in Wikis.fs (like a Control_Panel, an
acl_users, etc) is ignored.

I think you'll find that if you set up your mounted databases this way,
you'll get the reliability you're looking for.

 I don't see any undo records for objects in the mounted storage. It is a
 FileStorage, so I reckon they should be there.

Currently, undo and mounted databases don't mix.  You can only undo
transactions on the root database.  Besides that, there's the problem of
coordinating the undo of transactions that span multiple
databases--should it be done and how?

Mounted databases are interesting and, for the most part, robust, but
they aren't fully integrated with some of Zope's capabilities yet.

[Zope-dev] Fw: PythonMethods and ZClass generation problem

2001-01-18 Thread Alexander Limi

Sorry if I'm overstepping any bounds here, but I tried posting this to the
main list, but the answers I get do not help me. I figured maybe somebody on
the PTK- or the Dev-list might be able to help. This is a bit of a crisis,
since our site has been down for a week due to this problem.

I also discovered that Zope 2.3 has PythonScript which has the "context"
object. Would this be of any help in the following problem? Just a thought.

This is my original posting:

 Hi,

 We recently decided to use LoginManager for authentication on our site,
and
 refactored our user registration methods to use PythonMethods instead of
 DTML.

 Now, during the registration of a user, we want to add a ZClass instance
 in the correct folder. This object is a representation of some of the
 information the user provides when he registers with us.

 But we have stumbled across a problem. This is probably a very basic and
 simple problem, but I couldn't find any info on it on zope.org, and none
of
 the people on IRC could help us either. So I'll try this posting instead.
:)

 What we're trying to do is to add a ZClass instance/object
programmatically
 from a PythonMethod. Our constructor is called Artist_add, and resides in
 our product "Artist". The constructor uses variables
 that we have set in the REQUEST object.

 So the process is like this:

 User fills out form with variables that are put in REQUEST
   |
 Form calls "registerartist", which is a PythonMethod
   |
 "registerartist" creates the user
   |
 "registerartist" tries to call the constructor of our Artist ZClass to add
 an Artist object in our "artists" folder, but fails.

 To add the Artist object we tried to call the constructor in the following
 way from "registerartist":

 return self.artists.manage_addProduct['Artist'].Artist_add(_.None,_)

 but then the REQUEST object was not available, and the object creation
fails
 since it can't find the variables it needs. The traceback for this was:

 File string, line 41, in registerartist (Object:
 ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File
 /usr/local/zope/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 168, in __call__
(Object:
 Artist_add) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py,
 line 531, in __call__ (Object: Artist_add) IndexError: (see above)



 So we tried a different approach:

 return self.artists.manage_addProduct['Artist'].Artist_add(_.None,REQUEST)

 This solved the problem with REQUEST not being available, we can view its
 variables now, but now we can't
 access Artist.createInObjectManager. The error message we get is:
 "NameError Artist".

 So, I guess the question is: how can I add a ZClass instance
 programmatically from a PythonMethod based on data in the
 REQUEST object?

 Additional version info:
 Zope 2.2.4
 PythonMethod 0-1-7
 LoginManager 0-8-8b1
 ZPatterns 0-4-3b1
 DataSkinAddons 0-0-2
 Membership 0.7.8



 Thanks in advance,


 Alexander.

Yes.  The database should be inside a ZEO storage server.  ExternalMount
can mount ZEO ClientStorages (that's how www.zope.org/Wikis works) and
AFAIK you have the opportunity to provide a "read-only" parameter to the
storage or the database.

In fact, when you mix in ZEO you can mount the database on one client
while using it as the root database on another client.  That way you can
get around the lack of undo.

[Zope-dev] Q: how to retrieve transactions from a Data.fs fragment?

2001-01-18 Thread Shawn Murphy


Yes

We experienced a nasty confluence of suprises:
 - CanOfRaid is imperfect, 
 - reiserfsck is imperfect,
 - our backups were imperfect
[We already knew we were imperfect.]

The result is that all we have left of about 6 weeks of several peoples
development effort is two Data.fs scraps recovered from a reiser fs by one
of the reiser developers.  We also have an intact 2 month old Data.fs
which we would like to update with whatever we can retrieve from these two
scraps.

Fragment#1 is 187MB where the first 147MB is nothing but nulls and the
remainder is stuff that satisfies a tranalyzer rigged to not gag because
of the missing leading 'FS21'.  The offsets within Fragment#1 are all
correct.  That is, each transaction at the location in the file it thinks
it ought to be.  Fragment#2 is 600KB and has about 500K of nulls at the
beginning.  I am not yet sure if the offsets are 'proper' in it. I presume
that these nulls are artifacts of the restoration process from the
reiserfs.

So my question is:  What is the best strategy for getting the Folders, 
DTML Methods, DTML Documents and ZSQL Methods contained in these Data.fs
fragments safely back into production?

Just to get the ball rolling

I have a done a evening's worth of experimenting with tranalyzer to
evaluate the state of these fragments and explore strategies for getting
their contents back into service.

It seems that it will not work to simply append these zope transaction
records to the end of a Data.fs because these transaction records have
offset data built into them (the backpointer).  Some form of any of the
following could get the job done, but which one?  Is there some better
approach?  An existing tool?  Guru wisdom appreciated...

Plan 1
==
Simply massage the data so it has the right offset values and then
tack it on the end of the old Data.fs.

Cons: 
  What will happen with transactions which are edits of missing objects?
  
Plan 2
==
Have the data drive a program which interacts with a running ZODB and
replays the transactions.  Several ways to do this come to mind...
  a) write  an http client to perform the operations against a normal,
 running Zope
  b) write a tool which uses FileStorage.py to read the frag and write to
 the clean Data.fs

Plan 3
==
Make a human readable form suitable for cut and pasting into zope via
the regular management screens.  

Cons:
  - Final refuge of the damned because of the redundancy of the data in Data.fs, 
each update being present...
  - Besides, it just isn't "lazy" enough.
