[Zope-dev] Passing namespace to method

2000-11-01 Thread Morten W. Petersen

How do I construct a method of an object, so that whenever that method
is called, the current namespace is passed with it?

I.e.:

class myclass:
[...]
def myfunc(self, context):
if context['sequence-index'] == 10:
raise 'sequence-index is %s' % \
context['sequence-index'] 

called from DTML, like so:

dtml-in "objectValues('Spam')"
dtml-var myfunc
/dtml-in

will raise an exception if sequence-index is 10 or more?

Specifically, the reason I want this function is that I feel using

dtml-if sequence-even
tr bgcolor="dtml-var color_sequence_even"
dtml-else
tr bgcolor="dtml-var color_sequence_odd"
/dtml-if

is a bit tedious (and ugly!) in the long run..

If this isn't implemented, where would the right place to implement it
be?

RE: [Zope] Gadfly

2000-11-01 Thread Cornelis J. de Brabander

I am not sure what you all are talking about, but in anticipation of a more
adequate solution I am using a Gadfly database for a few years (sic!) now.
The table was created with a Z SQL method and is populated with a second Z
SQL method. Every now and then, when a restart of Zope is necessary, that
does not affect the contents of my Gadfly table in any sense. I guess the
"commit" is taken care of by the Z SQL method then? Furthermore, I live with
the assumption that every time the table is accessed it is loaded into RAM
in its entirety. Has that anything to do with the notion of persistence?

   Bear in mind that gadfly databases are not persistent and loose their

 It is very easy to make them persistent.
 When I remember correctly, it was only necessary to pass "commit"

[Zope] acl_users API

2000-11-01 Thread Harris Peter

Hi
I have given up trying to manipulate acl_users from DTML for now -
I'm sure it's possible  because here and there on this list and on the
Zope site I see hints that it can be done. However, I can't find
(for example) a HOWTO anywhere that describes the API of
acl_users and what you can do with it.
Someone out there must do this sort of thing all the time, so don't be
shy, write that HOWTO!
(Or if I'm being really thick and there is one, just let me
know where it is!)
Failing that, maybe someone can suggest where to look in the
Zope python source to find the methods acl_users exposes.

Thanks 
Peter Harris

RE: [Zope] My Items will not show themself in manage_main (objectItems)

2000-11-01 Thread Max Møller Rasmussen

From: Ender [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

First os all. Thank you for the patience. I know it is boring to "Solve
other peoples problems for them", but I am really trying hard myself,
reading the source 
of Zope and other products. It's just such a steap learning curve because it
is underdocumented. (I have 6+ years of experience in web scripting and 12+
in programming + database overall, so usually i catch on fast.)

 I was under the impression that when I inherit ObjectManager that my
object
 would be a complete ObjectManager. But do I have to overwrite some
methods
 with my own?

No you don't but generally an objectmanager would wants to add some
custom logic, like a Folder which is a specialized objectmanager.

I don't want that in this product. It should just be a plain folder, where
anything can be put. Well at least Foders, images and dtml methods.

ok, i'm not certain that i understand your problem. you original problem
was getting dtml methods to show up in the manage views. in your product
your it appears that your methods aren't really dtml methods that are
contained within the objectmanager but rather class methods of the
discussion class. to have them show up in the manage_views you need to
change them to be methods that are added to a discussion object.

In my mxm_diskuss class I have a list containing messages:

self.testComments = [.] (will be renamed to "comments" when it's done.)

These comments are not meant to be seen in the folder view, they should only
be visible when called through dtml methods. like this method to make a list
of all messages:

index_html:
dtml-var standard_html_header
dtml-in testComments
ba href="view?id=dtml-var id"dtml-var title/a/b 
By: dtml-var author idtml-var date/ibr
/dtml-in
dtml-var standard_html_footer

What I find "brilliant" about the idea is that when a customer wants a
discussion group I only have to change 3 standard dtml files to give it a
new functional interface. And I can build a library of look and feels. And
there is no recursion in it so it will behave like a list, and be easily
codeable from dtml.

The last discussion product ever needed :-) It will be ZPL (when it's done.)

here some code that illustrates how.
# add a folder for view
self.manage_addFolder('views')
# get a file handle
fh = open(join(Views_Dir, 'DiscussionIndex.dtml'))
# add a DTML method with contents of the file.
self.views.manage_addDTMLMethod(id='news_center_index_html', file=fh)

a method created this way will show up in the manage_view of the object.

My problem is not adding object programatically, but doing it in the
management  interface. When I add them I can press "add  edit" and I can
paste the dtml source, and the method works. But they don't show up on the
list when viewing the folder.

Well I guess that if I dont have to do anything special to add objects to an
objectmanager, then I must have a permission problem when viewing them. I
guess I will look more into that. Currently I am lookin for a permission
that prevents seing the ObjectItems in an objectmanager, but so far without
any luck.

grr... documentation.

Kind regards Max M

[Zope] GoLive

2000-11-01 Thread Stephan Goeldi

Does anybody know, if there is a way to automate GoLive for Zope? I have a 
customer who is Mac user. It seems to me, that GoLive is configurable to do 
almost every webdesign task without any knowledge. So I think there should 
be some upload automatism.

Is there? And are there known problems with Zope?

 Is there? And are there known problems with Zope?

"In theory" it all works fine. GoLive can ftp open dtml files. except
because they are called index_html and not index.html, GoLive thinks they
are text files and not html template files. This is such a pain. Using a
WYSIWYG tool (on a mac) to edit dtml would be cool.

This for me, effectively makes it too much of pain to use goLive. So close
and yet...

I think there's a trick where dtml files can be saved as index.html, and
then you create a method that redirects index_html or /whatever/wherever/ to
index.html in the same folder, but I'm not sure how to do that.  Someone has
shown how to do it on this list. Try searching here...
http://www.egroups.com/messages/zope

Using WebDAV (with goliath) may be an option.

I've found BBEdit to be OK, although creating new dtml files is errors.

Hope this helps

Then wherever there is "index.html", it will be displayed as the

Note that using a ".html" in files will make things a bit tricky

This is a really good point.

Just as open source benefits from real-time peer review, so do manuscripts
get better when fresh eyes and minds and go over them.

How about 'releasing' a PDF / HTML Doc with header/footers clearly marked:
'Preview Review copy for Copy-Editing use only. Not for general public or
commercial distribution'

The number of people who are likely to 'bootleg' the Zope book must be tiny.
Most will want to see the book sales thrive, so that Zope grows and gets the
wider recognition it deserves.And to save time and money when developing
Zope projects.
For such sophisticated 'free' software, a well written, well edited book is
a trivial price to pay.

The issue is how to get the best final copy to the printer in timely manner.
Peer review now by skilled expert readers is huge advantage to be tapped. No
matter how good OReilly are as publishers, I doubt they have many Zope
experts in-house at ORA... Because there are not yet that many in the world!

Most people are too busy anyway to be of much help. Anyone who wants to help
adn has the ability to do so should be engaged now not deterred. Everyone
will benefit if you act quickly now. Final stages of proofreading and
tweaking are time consuming adn take many hands and many heads to get right.
When done thoroughly this is the difference which makes a difference,
especially for technical books. Look at how much hideous fast junk is out
there in bookstores now. Look at how many books are a waste of paper and
time and money, simply because they were not properly checked and tuned.

good luck and best wishes

Why doesn't zope have a list of default file names... index_html,

[Zope] manage_access problems

2000-11-01 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes


Hi,

I'm having a strange problem with my Zope installation I need
some help to solve.
When I try to access the security (manage_access) page of my
root Zope, I get the error listed below:

!--
Traceback (innermost last):
  File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in

This only happen with root folder; in subfolders I can manage
security without problem, that is, I can access the page and add/remove
privileges, local roles, etc, even though I do not master it completely,
but this is another story.
Any help?
My zope configuration is:

Debian/GNU Linux 2.2 (potato)
zope 2.2.1
zope-guf 1.1.0
zope-pygresqlda 0.3rjr2
zope-renderable 0.2
zope-tinytable 0b2
zope-worldpilot 1.0.4

Make a DTML Method called index_html in Zope's root folder containing:

Whenever Zope looks for index_html and can't find it, it will search the
acquisition path, acquire your root index_html, which will then include
your index.html. Magic. ;-)

[Zope] zope.org mistake

2000-11-01 Thread ethan mindlace fremen

Um...

I inadvertently deleted the Data.fs whilst compressing it.  Then I
compounded my mistake by not remembering that the storage server still
had the inode open, and closed the storage server.

I have restored from the compressed version of the Data.fs, but it
appears that a day or so of information is missing.

Rest assured that I will not be so stupid in the future.

Thanks for your patience,

[Zope] Re:GoLive

2000-11-01 Thread Chris Beaumont

Hmmm...  I don't know if this would apply..but..there *is* a howto on 
a method to allow requests for index.html tobe redirected to 
index_html. Basically the executive summary is that methods named as 
the various possible choices (index.html, index.htm, index.HTML, 
etc.) containing the single word ' index_html ' .. This has the 
effect of redirecting requests for those URLs to index_html in each 
directory. This would probably work in reverse, unless Zope would 
choke on the extension, which is I assume what you are talking about..

   If not, perhaps GoLive, Dreamweaver, etc, could be modified at some 
level to recognize as their default mime type text/html and not 
text/plain or whatever it is now..  (untested) so that index_html 
would be interpreted as a html file...

I use BBEdit myself frequently to edit DTML and although the nifty 
BBEdit formatting capabilities aren't available (and would probably 
get very confused by DTML if they were..) it still beats anything 
else I've seen for editing *existing* dtml pages..

(like Stephen said..)

My experiences have been with BBEdit 5.x, has anyone tried BBEdit 6.x 
with DTML?

Still, this is not the optimal fix, because I still use BBEdit, for 
example on a lot of other kinds of textfiles and HTML as the default 
behavior would be something I would have to keep turning off..

There has to be an easy way...I would be surprised if there wasn't 
some way to configure DTML capabilities into these programs..

it just will take a little creative thinking...

Of course a WYSIWYG tool could never in any way simulate the dynamics 
of a Zope site, so using them would still require DTML competency..

 Is there? And are there known problems with Zope?

"In theory" it all works fine. GoLive can ftp open dtml files. except
because they are called index_html and not index.html, GoLive thinks they
are text files and not html template files. This is such a pain. Using a
WYSIWYG tool (on a mac) to edit dtml would be cool.

This for me, effectively makes it too much of pain to use goLive. So close
and yet...

I think there's a trick where dtml files can be saved as index.html, and
then you create a method that redirects index_html or /whatever/wherever/ to
index.html in the same folder, but I'm not sure how to do that.  Someone has

Using WebDAV (with goliath) may be an option.

I've found BBEdit to be OK, although creating new dtml files is errors.

Hope this helps

My current tracking shows that zope.org is pretty snappy until the
server gets attacked from a bunch of spiders.  Because zope.org has a
huge quantity of pages (500+MB of (packed) content and climbing), and
because objects get loaded into ram as they get accessed, accessing
*everything* on the site multiple times causes zope to load things in 
out a lot, causing it to slow down.

IOW, if you have a zope running with, say, 100 mb of content (that's
2048 50 kb pages) on a box with, say 256mb of ram, and you have your
caching policy set very liberally, then you should be able to hit 30
requests per second, or 2.5 million hits per day.

Zope.org will be on hardware that stretches the notion of "commodity"
soon, but it will be sufficient such that all 500mb of our objects can
be floating about in ram if need be.  This should improve our
performance drastically.

Hope that helps,

Re: [Zope] Zope Book Beta

2000-11-01 Thread Tim Lynch


I wholeheartedly agree with Jason and Chris. I would very much appreciate a 
PDF version that could be easily printed, or read with Adobe's Reader. I hope
there is no hesitation over making a PDF version available because of fear it
will cut into sales of the bound volume. I think it would be just the opposite. 
I can easily think of examples (the original Tcl/Tk book comes first to mind)
where the printed copy closed the sale of the bound volume for me. 

I'll be purchasing multiple copies of the Zope book for my shop regardless.
(I tried to no avail to do a pre-order from OReilly's set yesterday :) Getting
a chance to proof an early version and perhaps contribute to making it better 
only increases my desire to purchase the eventual publication.

[Zope] FastCGI behind ZServer

2000-11-01 Thread Nicholas Lo



I have read a lot about the Apache/Zope/FastCGI configuration in this 
list. However, I just wonder if anyone have tried having a FastCGI 
Server behind ZOPE behind Apache?My problem is I 
have a Apache/Zope site (using proxypass) running for quite some time. 
And I'm very happy with it. However, until recently, I want to 
integrate some of my old FastCGI programs into my site. Those FastCGI 
programs works fine with Apache using mod_fcgi 2.2.8. However, I'd 
like to make ZOPE act as the middleman so that I can further process 
the results return from the FastCGI program before publishing to the 
web. Also, to prevent people from accessing the FastCGI services 
directly by modifying URLs on their browsers.web - httpd

 That should be pretty easy . . .  Zope will let you add objects that

That obvious solution fails in some cases.  It failed for me the very
first time I needed it, when I tried to integrate web pages created by
the Web Studio tool into a larger Zope website.  Web Studio (ack,
phooey) creates a main index.html that uses Javascript to redirect to
another page that acts as the real entry point.  That Javascript code
gets confused when loaded via dtml-var index.html as above.  I
resorted to doing the following instead:

 dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(URL1 + '/index.html')"

So now it takes two redirects to get to the real page, darn it.  The
above _could_ redirect straight to the real entry page, but exact
knowledge of which page that is belongs to the subsite, not in my
code.  And it turns out that the subsite _has_ changed its entry page
since I set up the above code.

With Zope, simple things are easy, but slightly complex things tend to
be hard.   It's a weird learning/technology curve and I sure hope it
flattens out soon...
I've done a lot of website programming in PHP, Java, Perl, and
AOLserver/Tcl  -- none of those seem to have Zope's complexity at the
point of creating simple database-backed websites.  Zope doesn't even
have a decent self-registering user login system out of beta yet.
Sheesh.

If you are using RedHat (or one of its derivaties such as Mandrake) then I
suggest you look at:

I think the explanation given in this HOWTO is superior to the one given in the

[Zope] IMAP and Zope!

2000-11-01 Thread Spicklemire, Jerry

Morten says:

 If this sounds interesting, send me an email.=)

Is this one OK?

 I'm developing an Outlook/WorldPilot replacement which is much more 
 modular in design.  It will be released under the GPL.  When and where 
 I don't know yet. It stores messages in 'pure' ZODB format (that is, 
 the entire message is broken down and stored in various parts of the 
 object),  with _all_ the information from the original message stored, 
 in a structured and indexable way.

Watching the growing pains of an recently installed IMAP based Corporate 
E-Mail system makes me just a little queasy about using ZODB for mass 
storage. Volume is a very real problem, and Zope has it's own limits that 
must be considered.

I know it's formidable, but you may find the ZPatterns stuff useful.
One of the goals is to make it "easy" to swap out one storage for another. 

At first glance it strikes me as fairly straightforward to capture most of 
the relevant data that accompanies an E-Mail as RDBM "fields". Of course, 
a text blob, ZODB, or files may be more appropriate for the actual message 
content, and certainly for included files. 

ZODB is such a cool thing, but I'm still struggling with deciding what's 
best held as native ZODB "objects" vs. other possibilities. ZPatterns eases 
that quandary by making the choice flexible, and easy to "refactor" (fix!)
if / when you decide you "got it wrong". 

You might also check out the companion products "ExtFile" and "ExtImage"

http://www.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/ExtFile

which allow storage of "file" type data directly on the file system, yet 
keep related metadata in ZODB, for ZCataloging, etc.

 We're also including support for signing/verifying messages, with GnuPG.

Even Better!

Good Luck,
Jerry S.

[Zope] BBEdit and Zope (was GoLive)

2000-11-01 Thread Simon Coles

My experiences have been with BBEdit 5.x, has anyone tried BBEdit 
6.x with DTML?

I've used BBEdit 6.0 for occasional Zope use, and haven't really 
noticed a difference against version 5.x for editing DTML - but then 
again, I haven't been looking.

The *really* annoying problem with BBEdit 6.0 is that it doesn't 
respect FTP ports - it assumes the FTP server will be on port 21 - 
whereas 5.x would let you do zope.nipltd.com:8021 style server names, 
and did respect the port.

I mailed BBEdit technical support and they replied:

   Is there some way to get BBEdit 6.0 to respect the port number for FTP?

No, and BBEdit 5.1 is not designed to do this either. IF it worked in 5.1
this was purely by accident. The FTP tool in BBEdit currently only connect
to the standard ftp port.

If you need to connect to non-standard ports you should consider Anarchie,
NetFinder or Transmit all of which support "Edit in BBEdit: for easy
editing of files located on ftp servers. We may provide support for this
in a future release but I can not speculate as to when this might be
available (or promise that it will be).

So, looks like BBEdit 5.x will be on my hard disk for sometime to come :-(

(the two versions of BBEdit seem to coexist OK, I've even had both 
running at the same time).

Re: [Zope] Zope Book Beta

2000-11-01 Thread Simon Coles

I wholeheartedly agree with Jason and Chris. I would very much appreciate a
PDF version that could be easily printed, or read with Adobe's Reader.

If you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat (you have to pay for 
it, as opposed to the free Reader) you can "Capture" web pages into a 
PDF. I created a PDF of the Zope Book beta to read on the train 
today. PDFs created in this way are full text searchable :-)

 From what people are saying I don't think I can redistribute the PDF 
I have created :-( However, if you have Acrobat, you can make one 
yourself :-)

BTW the book was very useful, I'll be recommending it when it comes out

 something like this:
 
 a) very simple
 create a mailing list in your listmanager and have zope send the email to
 the list's address. voila, the rest is taken care of by the listmanager.
 
 b) a bit more involved
 if your addressee list changes (you create it on the fly with zope
 somehow) you could pass that list to the listmanager before sending email
 to it. in majordomo, a mailing list is simply a textfile containing a line
 for each subscriber's email address. make an external function to create
 that file and proceed like in a).

i've been thinking about bulk mailing in zope recently, one easy thing
to do is to change MailHost to use a persistent mail connection (i've
already submitted this as a patch to the Collector, if you're interested
email me), this should provide some marginal improvements. Another
method that should increase both speed and reliability is to directly
inject the mail into a relay smtp server's mail queue. this is
definitely mail server dependent but offers the greatest performance
gains and is capable of scaling and greater reliabiltiy (dependent on
mailserver). usings lists is a valid solution but it doesn't get at the
core question of how to send more mail messages from zope quickly and
reliably.

Re: [Zope] QSurvey design

2000-11-01 Thread Jim Washington

Hi, Stephan

QPages draw themselves.  The code is QPageClass:index_html, so replacing
the header information in that method with standard_html_header should
work.  You may want to include the css stuff in your header for question
formatting (needs to be in head, and that is why I broke tradition and
hard-wired the header). Standard_html_footer is still there, so that
should already work.

[Zope] Products : dependencies (or who's on first?)

2000-11-01 Thread Aaron Straup Cope

Okay, here goes : 

I installed the PTK product some time ago, decided that it wasn't where I
needed to be right now and moved on to something else.

Today I finally decided to delete it from my Products folder. Shortly
afterwards, I noticed that both my existing FlexFAQ and ZDiscussion
objects were "broken" (with the little broken icons in the manager
view.) and Zope was spewing errors to STDOUT complaining that it "Could
not load oid" (I'm sorry, I don't have the traceback...doh!)

I could add new FF/ZD objects but I couldn't access the old ones.

I deleted ZDbase and ZDiscussion and restarted Zope. I couldn't import a
fresh copy of ZDiscussions.zexp (see error below) but suddenly my old set
up is working again. Except I can't create new ZD* objects since the
Product isn't installed. ( I can create new FF objects.)

In the meantime, when I restart Zope it prints errors about not being able
to install the "Wizard" product or the "Demo Portal" Products (see
below.) In the meantime, the "PTKDemo" and "PTKBase" Products keep showing
up the Products table even though I keep trying to delete them.

Can someone please help me understand what on earth is going on? Is the
ZODB corrupted? Have I inadvertently set up some level of dependency
across Products? I have done Google searches and seen that this has
cropped up on the mailing list before, but I can't seem to figure out how
to address the problem or insure that doesn't happen again.

I am still pretty new to all of this and I am having a hard time
understanding the relationship between alot of seemingly abritrary
errors. Any help would be very much appreciated. 

Thankseep!

This is a good idea and probably a good compromise, but this would

 The number of people who are likely to 'bootleg' the Zope book must be tiny.

I agree, and honestly, Amos and I don't care about the bootlegging or
book sales revenue.  It is also not our job to enforce the rules; I
would chuckle to hear about people 'bootlegging' ilicit PDF copies of
the book.

 Most will want to see the book sales thrive,

Yeah, NY Times bestseller list!!!

 so that Zope grows and gets the
 wider recognition it deserves.And to save time and money when developing
 Zope projects.
 For such sophisticated 'free' software, a well written, well edited book is
 a trivial price to pay.
 
 The issue is how to get the best final copy to the printer in timely manner.

Well... from your perspective (and ours) but from O'Reilly's I think
they're woried about *who* the first person to print that best final
copy is.  Those are the people they are worried about bootlegging the
book, not you, they _know_ you'll buy a copy.  ;) If we open content it
now, someone could beat ORA to the shelves by a week and undercut a
sizable percentage of sales and all they would ahve to do is put ORAs

A couple of months from now is exactly when the pain will be felt!
You open the book and go ooops! damn how'd we miss that one..?

Then the reviews come and say "Been really looking forwards to this
milestone book for a long time. It is well written by two members of the
core Zope team but unfortunately"

Please don't confuse controlled easy accesss for willing proofreaders, with
public licensing and e-distribution models. Those CAN be sorted out later.

Just as employees and freelancers working for Publishers have access to
manuscripts, so should and can designated members of the Zope community.
These are not annonymous strangers.

I have been reading and printing out various chapters of the book from
http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/ over the past month. Then saved out a
bunch of the HTML files and printed to PDF. Took 'em round the corner for
cheap fast b+ printout and had comb binding put on then. It was worth the
$15 for print+binding just to be able to scan on planes and while I was
travelling.  It already gave me a much better feeling and understnding of
Zope :-)

Re: [Zope] Mapping tools with Zope

2000-11-01 Thread Janko Hauser

GIS-like applications are definitely a field where Zope can shine. But
most of the current MAP-Servers are interfacing with a RDBMS where a
lot of the logic is placed into the database. If one thinks of
geographic objects in a way of an object database like Zope, there is
a different architecture needed. For example I think of a RTree
indexing technic for the objects stored in the ZODB. This would open a
lot of possibilities and would cure one of the problems of current GIS
, where everything needs to be stored with a geographical view, which
makes it sometimes cumbersome to store legacy information or data with
a non gis semantic in these systems. On top of the RTree index one
could build a python framework to present the geographical part of
this data.

These are just thoughts from an earth scientist, who needs to deal
with this problem, and is in search for a solution.

 I have been using SquishFile.py as the wrapper around uploaded images, as is

 How would you go about wrapping the file in a PIL.Image() ?  I've been
 trying things similar to:
 
 cardimage=PIL.Image.open(self.uploadedimage)
 c.drawInlineImage(cardimage, 1,1)
 
 This gives an error in reportlab.canvas.convert()
 
 I tried using PIL.image.fromstring(), but I can't quite get the it to work
 out:
 
 filebytes=[str(self.uploadedimage.file_bytes()), 'bytes']
 cardimage=PIL.Image.fromstring(self.uploadedimage.content_type(),
filebytes,
self.uploadedimage.file_data())
 c.drawInlineImage(cardimage, 1,1)
 
 This gives a typeerror: PIL/Image.py, line 848, in new
 
 has anyone succesfully done this?  can I just Leave the SquishFile wrapper
 off if it is ONLY going to be images that get uploaded?
 
 Thanks for any ideas!

[Zope] Mapping tools and Zope - SIG? Fishbowl?

2000-11-01 Thread twiens

I'm writing to all who responded to my query regarding mapping tools for
Zope or others interested in this issue. In one of the responses, was
the suggestion to start a SIG or Fishbowl.

At this point in time, I'm in a research phase for a project where a
mapping interface will be needed in Zope based web application. We are
starting to move into the design phase and so some technical decisions
will start to be made in the next two months at which point we will
begin building something.

I've received a number of other interesting replies about GIS and Zope
and possible solutions. These have ranged from "I know about this" to "I
use this" to "We should build something". I think there might be
sufficient interest in at least starting a SIG or Fishbowl or separate
list about the problem. Is there??

I'm personally a bit hesitant to even consider building yet another GIS
product. There are many of them out their (see www.freegis.org) for web
display, cartography, spatial analysis, etc. Obviously our interest here
is web interfaces, but these other products are testimony to the
ubiquitous nature of the problem; a good suite of comprehensive GIS
software solutions just doesn't exist, either for free or commercially
(IMHO). The approach my team will likely take on our project will be to
examine existing open source products and determine if there is one that
is sufficient to meet our needs and simply use it. If we can build some
tools around this product to facilitate it's future use with Zope by
others, we will open source those.

I would welcome the discussion of this issue, since it is important and
it is one of the up and coming needs for web applications. I would
welcome feedback from others who undoubtedly have significant experience
and knowledge to bring to this problem.

[Zope] XML-RPC vs External method?

2000-11-01 Thread Irene Barg

Hello all,

I have setup a query form to query a small MySQL database using
Zope.  It consists of:

1.  ZMySQL Database Connection (ZMySQLDA)
2.  ZSQL method
3.  A search interface.

Now, what I want is the user to have the option of viewing the
results in HTML or raw XML.  I think there can be two approaches
to this:  1. External method, or 2. XML-RPC.

1.  External method:  Replaces the ZMySQL database connection 
with an external Python function called 'mysqldb_XML', pieces
of which follow:

def mysqldb_XML(self,query):
"""
Use a MySQL SAX driver to map relational data to XML.
Hacked from PyXML saxdemo.py.  The MySQL driver is a modified 
version of Sean McGrath's drv_mysql.py ("XML Processing with  
Python").
"""
from xml.sax import saxexts, saxlib, saxutils, writer
import sys,urllib

#Our MySQLdb XML driver;
driver="xml.sax.drivers.drv_mysqldb"
.
out = sys.stdout;
p=saxexts.make_parser(driver)
dh=writer.PrettyPrinter(out,dtdinfo=info)
try:
p.setDocumentHandler(dh)
return p.parse(query)
except IOError,e:
return in_sysID+": "+str(e)
except saxlib.SAXException,e:
return str(e)

Inside Zope, I get the ZSQL 'query' and do something like:

dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type','text/xml')"
dtml-in "mysqldb_XML(query)"
  dtml-var sequence-item
/dtml-in


2.  XML-RPC:  It seems to me XML-RPC could do this too, but
I don't know how one would print out the raw XML response.
Could I have a Zope client request the ZSQL method above,
but instead of sending it to my output DTML method, I just
print the raw-XML stream?  Examples would be helpful:-)

It seems to me if XML-RPC already produces an XML formatted
stream, it would be more efficient to just use it (unless 
there is yet another way in Zope I'm not aware of).  Is it 
possible?  Is there any reason to want to use the external
method instead?

Thanks for your comments,

[Zope] OT Zope book images - PDF

In light of all the hubbub about the Zope book, I thought I would try and
make my own copy of it in PDF format (just for me, of course).  I'm finding
that Acrobat doesn't know how to convert the PNG image file type used in the
Zope Book.  (or rather, I don't know how to get it to work !)  Anyone know
how to get png files into Acrobat?  Oh, I'm trying to use their 'Open Web
Page' method of creating the document.  Is there another/better way that
will get the png images?
Thanks,
Eric.

[Zope] Multi-lingual sites and workflow

2000-11-01 Thread Lee Hunter

I was wondering if anyone here has used Zope to create
bilingual/multi-lingual/localised websites.

I've done a number of bilingual (French and English) projects in recent
years using plain old html where the two language versions had to be kept
mostly symmetrical and its been a bit of a pain as the site grows to keep
the two versions in synch and make sure the translations are done on time
etc.

Its seems that Zope might help manage these kinds of projects - by smoothing
the workflow - tracking what needs translation, perhaps sending stuff to the
translator automatically, reporting on what's been done by who and comparing
the two language versions to make sure they are parallel. And perhaps even
sharing a common architecture - so that you didn't need two sets of DTML
methods etc.

I'm wondering if this fits into other generic Zope workflow products that
people have talked about developing or if it would have to be built from
scratch.

Anyone have thoughts on this subject?

if the xml format is simple you could just do it dtml, it would end up
with some extra white space but it would still be valid.

a dtml method akin to 

?xml version="1.0"?
dtml-in mysqlretrieve

make sure you start zope with the STUPID_LOG_FILE environment variable
set. Then, when your zope dies, look at the tail end of the log file. 
It should have a line that has an "Aiieee ! 12312 exited with error

The error code is what you should be looking at- it will tell you what
your OS reports the problem as being.  error 11 on linux is segfault,

You could of course convert the structure of the site in DTML documents

Also a possibility, although I'm way out of my league here (I'm not a
