[Zope-dev] is INSTANCE_HOME broken on Win32?
Hello :-)
I'm trying to make Squishdot work with INSTANCE_HOME nicely.
However, the testing is going wrong on a normal Win32 Install...
I had lots of lines that went something like:
f=open('%s/Products/%s.dtml' % (SOFTWARE_HOME,file))
Which generates:
E:\Zope\2.2.0\lib\python/Products/Squishdot/validArticle.dtml
That's not very nice in itself but seems to work with Python's open...
However, when I change them all to be like, for example:
f=open('%s/Products/%s.dtml' % (INSTANCE_HOME,file))
I then get:
'E:\\Zope\\2.2.0/Products/Squishdot/validArticle.dtml'
which is:
- horrible
- wrong
- doesn't work ;-)
Anyway, I'm looking for something like INSTANCE_HOME or SOFTWARE_HOME
that:
- works in an INSTANCE_HOME setup
- works in a non-INSTANCE_HOME setup
- works on both Unix and Windows..
Any ideas?
cheers,
Chris

RE: [Zope-dev] Z SQL Method Patch
Casey, I just wanted to thank you very, very, VERY much for that tip! I've spent far too many hours debugging very long, complex Z SQL methods. This will be an enormous help! By the way, it works like a charm on ZMySQLDA. Thanks! - T.J. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Casey Duncan Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2000 4:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Zope-dev] Z SQL Method Patch In debugging some Z SQL methods I found it quite hard to diagnose certain errors returned by the database backend because Zope doesn't return the SQL sent to the server, instead it returns "Could not render the query template!" which is not really true for this case. In looking at the source code of DA.py (lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB), and I think I found a simple solution: in manage_test insert the following indented after line 343 (except:) try: src=self(REQUEST, src__=1) except: pass This re-renders the query template if possible without sending it to the backend and returns the SQL in src. The result is your backend error message followed by the SQL generated. This should really save time debugging any dynamic Z SQL methods. It was moderately tested on Zope 2.2.1/PostgreSQL 7 via PyGreSQLDA. It should not be database dependant though.

Re: [Zope-dev] is INSTANCE_HOME broken on Win32?
From: Chris Withers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm trying to make Squishdot work with INSTANCE_HOME nicely.
However, the testing is going wrong on a normal Win32 Install...
I had lots of lines that went something like:
f=open('%s/Products/%s.dtml' % (SOFTWARE_HOME,file))
Which generates:
E:\Zope\2.2.0\lib\python/Products/Squishdot/validArticle.dtml
That's not very nice in itself but seems to work with Python's open...
However, when I change them all to be like, for example:
f=open('%s/Products/%s.dtml' % (INSTANCE_HOME,file))
I then get:
'E:\\Zope\\2.2.0/Products/Squishdot/validArticle.dtml'
This looks correct to me. If no explicit INSTANCE_HOME is set, it defaults
to SOFTWARE_HOME minus '/lib/python'.
On the other hand, I wonder why you're constructing '%s/Products/' paths
explicitly like this. If this code is inside the Product to which you would
like the path, the proper way to get the path is:
from Globals import package_home
path = package_home(globals())
# path now probably equals
'E:\\Zope\\2.2.0\\lib\\python\\Products\\Squishdot' in your example.
I have no idea if or where this is documented, sadly. I'll definitely put
it in my 'writing INSTANCE_HOME-friendly Products' howto, as soon as I get
around to writing such a thing :-/ Or perhaps you could? ;-)

[Zope-dev] User Info Folder Product Released
Hi all, I just released a Zope product, but since I'm a Zope newbie I'm still wondering whether there is something fundamentally wrong with my idea or not. Could someone check that thing and tell me whether I'm completely off base ? I'm pretty sure there would be a way to solve the same problem using ZPatterns, but I'm still at the very beginning of the learning curve, so I'd rather do with something without too many dependencies. Anyway, here's the product's blurb: User Info Folders maintain a collection of ZClasses synchronized with a user folder. You can specify the name of the product and the name of the ZClass in this product. The User Info Folder will then automatically maintain one instance of the specified ZClass for each user in the "nearest" User Folder in the hierarchy (the acquired 'acl_users' object). This can be very useful if you want to create ZClasses representing user-specific information: an instance of this ZClass will be automatically maintained by the User Info Folder for each user, allowing it to be referenced by URLs.

[Zope-dev] Back from the dead xmlc
Zope Devers, THis is going to seem strange coming from someone who hasn't been on the list in a long time, but I was at the Linux Expo in San Jose, and sat in on a Web app talk. Lutris was in charge of the panel, and they talked about xmlc. I went to their booth and asked about it. I think it could be the best way to get hard-core python people to jump on zope's band-wagon, and stop the dtml frowning. If you who are in the know about zope have time, please read a quick bit on what it is. http://xmlc.enhydra.org Especially the tutorial: http://staff.plugged.net.au/dwood/xmlc/index.html Is there any obvious reason why Zope wouldn't benefit tremendously from this design and programming separation and pure python boost?

Re: [Zope] Looking for Zope vs. Others at-a-glance comparison
Ron yes +thanks for paying keen attention here.. What Manila has done is to provide some reasonable default templates for getting useful site development work done 'out of the box' - they have provided a structure template, and well defined access to changing the obvious things people want to change. I see. Having higher level drop-in Web sites, IMO, is a job for add-on Zope products that could be created by DC or the community to meet various needs (as in Squishdot like projects). As the Zope community grows, I have no doubt that more add-on products for "Web sites in a can" will pop up. Exactly. My concern is to get the right kind of discussion going because it is going to need some differnt kinds of minds to work together. I can only guess that most Zope users are either not designers or are so filled with awe over its power that they forget to put effort into beauty. :-) I think Zope lends itself more to the programmer and content provider types, and leaves the designer with nothing special to desire. I don't say that in a bad way, but Zope isn't a design tool, so designers have no special interest in learning to use it. As Zope makes its way into more businesses with design teams, pretty design will make its way into more Zope sites. Problem is am not sure Zopie will make its way into more businesses wiht design teams if it is such a pain in the $# to get sites sketched out. A really valuable feature which Zope could offer is Site-Sketching You do the back of napkin whiteboard 'design' of the main site architecture hierharchy functioning. Now you need to map it out in 'dummy' mode so everyone can get to work playing with it and working on the bits they are all best at. You know you are going to make changes and so you want to benfit from object abstraction from the get go You know in house team and design [visual + code] will force changes not to mention clients.. Then start throwing database at it - look and feel vs. satabase search menchaisms etc. This can be expensive time consumign stuff.. things people need to apply samrt reusable components to.. but which also allow them to get down very fingraoned and adjust = zope I think there is a big demand for this kind of up and running toolset. A zope folder full images or navigation widgets or search form elements are the type of things yu want to do a single copy paste or import on. I am a designer who has a special interest in learning to use. I do not see many other tools with this potential, but in its present state and my present programming skills, I am still a little short of being able to take Zope where I see it can go on my own. I hope this changes soon.. My understanding is that DC has been putting so much of their resources into the Zope core, much needed documentation, and probably their consulting business, that their own Web site has been left with a lower priority. I don't fault them for that. I think they've done a great job at prioritizing. Granted. The price is right and there is some hairy stuff under the hood. I just hope DC can step back a bit more from time to time to see where they fit in from other perspectives also. I realize their income comes from consulting. They could apply their expertise [or others] to package off useful stuff for a reasonable price. Zope products coudl be very cost efefctive all around - those with teh time and skills can develope their own. Perhaos you are right adn it is still a little early yet.. maybe next year.. And if you select yes you will get 'index_html' and 'acl_users' included.. THIS is the entry point I am talking about The 'Add a Folder' page needs to offer more so that it can default to the immediate bones of a useful site, methods and links. The irony to I think the "bones of a useful site" belong in a different object than a Folder, though I agree that specialized products/objects for canned sites would be a nice addition to the Zope products list, whether from DC or the community. Yes.

Christian, Thanks for the tip. Your help is much appreciated. Further to your reply, I would like to ask what the differences of UTF-8 are compared to Big5 Code.

Exactly. My concern is to get the right kind of discussion going because it is going to need some differnt kinds of minds to work together. This meshes with my thinking recently. I think many in the Zope community are "early-adopters" kind of people -- willing to put up with spending time to know the ins and outs of DTML or python programmers who would do most in python. A python programmer or early adopter does not a typical web design team make. Personally. I like the notion of a DTML an that you can do a little business logic there if you choose to. This issue with DTML in my mind is that its syntax/semantics design throws people for loops that can waste their time for sometimes days. Early adopters will go through this trial by fire. I did and now on the other side I know the gotchas. Early adopters are a special breed of people that will give a new product a ring of success but this pool saturates easily, leading a new company to the chasm. To cross the chasm, and reach a broader audience, this trial by fire phase of becoming a productive Zope user has to be reduced -- in addition to addressing other productivity parts of the bigger product pie mentioned in prior messages. If you are interested in understanding the business of Crossing the Chasm, I would recommend a book by the same name.

[Zope] ZClass property sheets and lists of values
Is there a way to have 2 property sheets in a ZClass where one property in one sheet uses a property in another sheet to fill out its list? This way, I can manage who can control what is in the list.

[Zope] Abstract ZClasses and containing classes
Scenario: here is a hierarchy of ZClasses.

First, what is the correct way to define an abstract ZClass. Do you make one that has no constructors?

[Zope] Re: [Zope-dev] Size of Data.fs - and crypto.
Another thing. Have anyone tried to encrypt all data inside the Data.fs file? I mean, encrypted the data so that not even root can access it, only if you have the right passphrase (or whatever) in the management interface are you allowed access to the data. You got some suggestions to rewrite pickling routines. I have another simple idea: what about leaving zope intact and putting Data.fs on cryptographic filesystem? There are some implementations freely available within Linux kernel... By the way: whichever method to encrypt data you would use, you will face the same problem: - either you must manually enter some password after each system or zope startup - or you must put the password (key,seed,.. whatever) somewhere on the filesystem - where it can be easily read at least by the root. -- Serwis dla programistw, kcik mieszkaniowy: http://www.mk.w.pl | | You have the right to see progress in a running system, proven to work | by passing repeatable tests that you specify.

[Zope] Oedipus / Zope / python / product / XML ++
Hi there .. I've been looking into something this weekend. I need somehting that can handle my link database etc. and list them through Zope on a regular basis. I was looking at Oedipus which can create "semi-xml" DMOZ like directories which would suffice for v0.1b of my product. I was thinking of using Oedipus and store them in the database there and generate a new xml-like-structure every day through some cron script. .. what I was hoping for is to use the LocalFS product for Zope and some kind of python "product" (which I need to make to fit into Zope) which can parse this .. sort of like the *.cgi script which followed with the Oedipus installation. By doing this; I can generate DMOZ/Link databases that show information about the site; when it was checked last, updated etc. etc. My questions are as follows; * How do I generate a package of some pythong scripts? * Are there any better ways of parsing and putting this xml-like file under "Zope control" .. * Are there any XML products for Zope that can get a file from an url .. and parse this with some python scripts to generate a yahoo type listing?

Re: [Zope] Looking for Zope vs. Others at-a-glance comparison
Jason Cunliffe wrote: Completely calm and friendly opinions follow... yes thanks.. I don't think it's any more difficult to create an attractive (graphics-wise) site in Zope than it is with PHP or ASP or plain old Apache-served HTML files. Quite honestly, I'm not qualified to do it with any tool. :-) I get the feeling that a lot of people expect Zope to design sites for them. Maybe they're expecting too much. Or maybe I'm expecting too little??? Or maybe it's that most of the people using Zope today (like me) are not pretty-site designers, but people that want a powerful tool to manage the most important part of a site...content. I agree absolutely that Zope is on level with PHP, ASP apacheHTML in terms of ease. My point is that Zope allows one to create powerful highlevel functionality at many levels, wrapping, hiding, abstracting, reusing, modularizing things which potentially could allow graphic designers to jump in and do great work. But out of the box it does not and for perhaps cultural reasons will not..Zope is largely based on reusable templates, and chunks of 'smart-html' better known as DTML. What Manila has done is to provide some reasonable default templates for getting useful site development work done 'out of the box' - they have provided a structure template, and well defined access to changing the obvious things people want to change. Perhaps the only product which does for Zope is Squishdot.. and I think that largely explains why most Zope sites are Squishdot or modified squishdot sites. Then you need to get out more ;) I have visited man, many zope sites, and only a few were squishdot based. ... This means tools with the flexibility of zope but not in it its present state of awareness. It's the site designers. Zope isn't designed for assistance in creating attractive sites. It's designed for creating manageable sites. It's completely up to the designers to make it attractive, using tools designed to do so. Zope (in my experience) does nothing to limit the ability to make a site attractive, but it does do buckets for increasing manageability. Yes. I quite agree..But why are there no attractive Zope sites? Maybe you just have an entriely different idea of attractive? I have seen several site I would classify as 'attractive'. I have seen sites that you wouldn't know were on a Zope server unless you noticed something like index_html in a link. My argument is that zope does nothing to HELP one's ability to make a site attractive. And others arew arguing that it should not. Apache does nothing to help the 'attractiveness' of a site, nor should it. Actually it does limit one's ability. for example look at even the syntax for making an image object borderless? it aunt obvious.. and it could/should be part of the image object properties None of my images have problems with that. border=0 is pretty damned easy. --or how about a rollover button.. Yes that is a JavaScript problem perhaps, but what about including that as a BASIC feature of modern websites. But imagine if that alone was made easier by zope. See the ActiveImage (?) product that does this. Navigation bar objects would be another big plus. Or how about a web page 'Table object' which made allowed one rapidly to group and include other zope object in a useful and productive way. There are, I beleive, at least two products that do this. This is not gratuitous graphics this is stuff which is common to most websites. All the HTML tools do this. Exactly. The HTML tools. That is where it belongs, not in a server. In zope a designer [= end user content manager] needs to be able to work with higher level tools which function with acquisition just like standard_html_header etc. for example [ad hoc]: 1) Create a folder, some a sub folders and 'dummy' dtml documents. 2) Add a navigation bar creating basic links to the above. This would auto create a set of matching named methods 3) Add a style_object which would allow one to apply css or similar across the above. Again auto-create matching named methods in each folder to allow low level tuning to happen later 4) create a standard_table_object with named areas to allow population adn linking of HTML/DTML etc 5) Create standard_site_overview document which would link to the above, including standard_report_methods which would spit out the stats/properties on each part so you could see each section in a browser but also print out. As I understand it all the above is daily business in zope, using all manner of dtml-in and -with, sequence-item iterations etc. But just bundling and linking these would allow a lot more people to jump and get on with making great Zope sites. This is not reinventing Dreamweaver3. And none of this is something Zope prohibits. Do not confuse lack of IDE-type tools for editing HTMl with A Zope Server's features and functionality. You

What Manila has done is to provide some reasonable default templates for getting useful site development work done 'out of the box' - they have provided a structure template, and well defined access to changing the obvious things people want to change. I see. Having higher level drop-in Web sites, IMO, is a job for add-on Zope products that could be created by DC or the community to meet various needs (as in Squishdot like projects). As the Zope community grows, I have no doubt that more add-on products for "Web sites in a can" will pop up. Exactly. My concern is to get the right kind of discussion going because it is going to need some differnt kinds of minds to work together. I can only guess that most Zope users are either not designers or are so filled with awe over its power that they forget to put effort into beauty. :-) I think Zope lends itself more to the programmer and content provider types, and leaves the designer with nothing special to desire. I don't say that in a bad way, but Zope isn't a design tool, so designers have no special interest in learning to use it. As Zope makes its way into more businesses with design teams, pretty design will make its way into more Zope sites. Problem is am not sure Zopie will make its way into more businesses wiht design teams if it is such a pain in the $# to get sites sketched out. A really valuable feature which Zope could offer is Site-Sketching You do the back of napkin whiteboard 'design' of the main site architecture hierharchy functioning. Now you need to map it out in 'dummy' mode so everyone can get to work playing with it and working on the bits they are all best at. You know you are going to make changes and so you want to benfit from object abstraction from the get go You know in house team and design [visual + code] will force changes not to mention clients.. Then start throwing database at it - look and feel vs. satabase search menchaisms etc. This can be expensive time consumign stuff.. things people need to apply samrt reusable components to.. but which also allow them to get down very fingraoned and adjust = zope I think there is a big demand for this kind of up and running toolset. A zope folder full images or navigation widgets or search form elements are the type of things yu want to do a single copy paste or import on. I am a designer who has a special interest in learning to use. I do not see many other tools with this potential, but in its present state and my present programming skills, I am still a little short of being able to take Zope where I see it can go on my own. I hope this changes soon.. My understanding is that DC has been putting so much of their resources into the Zope core, much needed documentation, and probably their consulting business, that their own Web site has been left with a lower priority. I don't fault them for that. I think they've done a great job at prioritizing. Granted. The price is right and there is some hairy stuff under the hood. I just hope DC can step back a bit more from time to time to see where they fit in from other perspectives also. I realize their income comes from consulting. They could apply their expertise [or others] to package off useful stuff for a reasonable price. Zope products coudl be very cost efefctive all around - those with teh time and skills can develope their own. Perhaos you are right adn it is still a little early yet.. maybe next year.. And if you select yes you will get 'index_html' and 'acl_users' included.. THIS is the entry point I am talking about The 'Add a Folder' page needs to offer more so that it can default to the immediate bones of a useful site, methods and links.

Yes. How about : - 'Add Bones object' What is a 'Bones' Object?? - 'Add Navigation Object' http://www.zope.org/Products/navigational - Add Styles object' ZStylesheet - 'Add Report Object' ListMate,MetaPublisher,Add Search Interface - 'Add WebSite Object' Such as Squishdot, ZopePTK ... -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password. ___ 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] Uh-oh, my Zope site is going down the toilet! (NameError in DT_Util.py)
Earlier I reported a problem with copy/pasting a DTML method. Now I'm getting a NameError exception in DT_Util.py, line 337 (in eval). This appears to be either an acquisition problem, a security problem or a combiniation in conjunction with LoginManager. (the traceback is at the bottom of this message) Zope version: Zope 2.2.1 (binary release, python 1.5.2, win32-x86) LoginManager-0-8-7a1 Here's my layout / Strader (folder) DateRange (External Method) Outbound (folder) InTransit (DTML Doc) ReportBanner (Dtml Method) Reports (DTML Doc) ReportForm (DTML Doc) acl_users (LoginManager) acl_users (user folder) ReportBanner and ReportForm both use dtml-var "DateRange(value)[0]" ReportBanner is called from InTransit, and it works. It works when authenticated via LoginManager or by the root acl_users folder When ReportForm is called from Reports, I get a NameError exception if authenticated solely via LoginManager. However when logged in on another machine, authenticated via Loginmanager, it works. I suspect that copy of the browser is also sending Basic Auth credentials, but I can't be sure. Earlier today I reported that I couldn't copy/paste ReportBanner. It seems that this object, and ReportForm are owned by a user in LoginManager, though I don't know how that happened.. cookie exchange probably. I'm wondering if there's something strange happening with LoginManager, ownership, acquisition and so on. It seems like I can't take ownership of these objects either, and the "make ownership implicit" button doesn't seem to have any effect. So anyway, I'd expect an attributeError or a UnAuthenticated error, but NameError is unexpected and looks very suspicious to me. My customer has spent a *lot* of money on this project so far, and I'm worried that I have some strange bug running through the system now due to these two unexpected problems (copy/paste and now nameerror) I can't think of a workaround for NameError.

I decided to convert my ZClasses to CatalogAware. I added CatalogAware as first base class.

Is this method called automatically (probably not), or have I to call it - where, what arguments ? I tried to call it after call to _add method - I got strange error: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: _u This ZClass base classes are CatalogAware and DTMLDocument.

Re: [Zope] Using Chinese Characters
With reference to inputting chinese characters I have similar issues within handling Japanese. My two solutions are either use Internet Explorer (if you have a windows machine) and use their add on extensions (download 5.5 and look at the extra options during download setup) or use emacs with MULE. Obviously there are limitations with the emacs method with what you can and can not edit. Some distributions of Linux will allow you to setup your environment in both Japanese and English and toggle between the. I think the same is true for Chinese. Try Kondara at http://www.kondara.com - I saw a demo of their new version at the Linux Expo which seemed to work well. Apart from playing with a Japanese distribution for fun I haven't done any serious work with these. Note that if you ever want to start storing your characters in external databases you will need to make sure that it can handle your encoding as well. MySQL has to be compiled with a certain config flag and I believe the same is true with Postgres.

"Reserved:
Many URL schemes reserve certain characters for a special meaning:
their appearance in the scheme-specific part of the URL has a
designated semantics. If the character corresponding to an octet is
reserved in a scheme, the octet must be encoded. The characters ";",
"/", "?", ":", "@", "=" and "" are the characters which may be
reserved for special meaning within a scheme. No other characters may
be reserved within a scheme.
Usually a URL has the same interpretation when an octet is
represented by a character and when
[Zope] Xron TypeError revisited
Hello,
I posted earlier about Xron 0.0.9 event scheduling woes. One of my stabs
in the dark seems to work. I removed the 'this()' parameter entirely and
now am able to schedule events via DTML. I also had to add the 'US/Eastern'
parameter to the DateTime call to get a current value for DateTime. It was
returning 12/31/1969.
Xron documentation (works on Zope 2.1.3):
dtml-with "manage_addProduct['Xron']"
dtml-call expr="manage_addXronDTMLMethod(
this(),
'SchedMethodId1',
'Scheduled Method 1 Title',
file = 'Content-Type: text/plain\n\nBANG!!!',
executeAt = _.DateTime()+14
)"
/dtml-with
Here's what works for me on 2.2.0:
dtml-with "manage_addProduct['Xron']"
dtml-call expr="manage_addXronDTMLMethod(
'SchedMethodId1',
'Scheduled Method 1 Title',
file = 'Content-Type: text/plain\n\nBANG!!!',
executeAt = _.DateTime('US/Eastern')+14
)"
/dtml-with
I'd appreciate any insight as to why this works without the 'this()'
parameter in 2.2.0.
Thanks,
Dwayne Morrison
