RE: [Zope-dev] Mail and zope
originated from but most e-mail clients discard custom headers but preserve a 'In-Reply-To' header with the original message-id. Don't count on it! :) I spent quite some time working on a full-text mailing list search/archive system and one of the things I wanted to do was preserve thread informtion. However it was surprising the number of MUAs that did not generate a In-Reply-To header. Mostly it was Microsoft Mail Client and quite a few similar internal mail systems with internet gateways. Also beware that many mailers use the NNTP standard of References: instead of in-reply-to. I would suggest using the Subject line instead and generate some sort of ticket number and store it in the subject line, and put a header in the message body instructing the user to not alter the subject. -Matt -- Matt Hamilton[EMAIL PROTECTED] Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.

Dieter Maurer wrote: Michel Pelletier writes: Also, defining the interface seperately keep the two things apart, impementation and interface, and doesn't allow you to sneak in a new method unless you also sneak it into the interface, thus making a stronger "contract" with the user. I am a bit astonished by this statement: I know the "design by contract" concept from Bertrand Meyer, the Eiffel developper. In Eiffel, essential parts of the contract, among others method prototype, pre- and post-conditions as well as invariants are build directly into the language. A documentation tool extracts these parts from the source to generate the interface, for people that are only interested in how to use the class/method. Programms can be executed in a way, that the various (executable) contract parts can be checked at runtime. *THIS* provides for quite a strong contract. I cannot see, why the separation of interface and implementation should make the contract stronger. The interface *is* the contract. If someone builds a house for me, I don't want the house to *be* the contract. I want the house to adhere to the contract. Interface/contract and implementation are two qualitatively different things. I do see, however, that it makes it more likely to be broken by the implementation. I don't think it makes it more or less likely. Of course, if the "interface" is always derived from the implemenation then the two will be consistent, but this is not terribly useful. It is a very good thing to have the specification very near to the implementation -- as a permanent guide to the implementor. Firtunately, modern displays allow multiple side-by-side windows. ;) It is even better, when big parts of the specification becomes part of the executable code (as is the case for Eiffel's pre- and post-conditions). If you want to prevent your implementors to change the interface specification, generate the interface for the implementation and compare against your master copy. In my view, it is better to have a somewhat "weaker" contract that is met by the partners than a "stronger" contract that is violated. We disagree then. A weak interface that is satisfied by definition is nearly useless to me. Or, to say it differently, it is more essential the a system's documentation describes faithfully what is rather than what should be (but is not). I disagree alot. I'd rather have clear documentation of intended behavior, rather than have the documentation change based on implementation decisions. Note also that most classes implement multiple interfaces. Generating interfaces from classes trends to yield bloated non-cohesive interfaces. Similarly, most interesting interfaces are implemented by multiple classes, so nearness to implementation is not really meaningful.

Re: [Zope-dev] objectValues performance
Brett Carter wrote: Ok, I'll bite. Why doesn't the standard folder scale? Seems like a design flaw to me - why doesn't the default folder use catalogs or BTrees? -Brett AFAIK a standard folder uses a linear search when you request an object from it (ala Python dictionaries, someone please correct me if I'm wrong). This works great except that the search time grows linearly (by n) as you add objects. The BTreeFolder as the name implies creates a binary tree of the objects where the search time grows by only log n. For small folders the search time difference is minimal to non-existant, but as n increases the BTreeFolder search time increases minimally. B-trees are fairly complex entities to manage and for the vast majority of folders are total overkill. That is why standard folders work the way they do, the implementation is simple and efficient for 99.9% of applications. Your case is fairly atypical of most Zope folders. Perhaps a future implementation of Zope folders could automatically use a b-tree after a certain threshold is reached, for now you must explicitly select them. Andy's idea of using objectIds instead of objectValues is also a good one which will save significant amounts of memory. You can always access each object individually via id if you need to. Using a ZCatalog could also help in this because you can query the objects without loading them into memory and the returned result does not load the objects themselves, only the meta-data and only once a result item is explicitly accessed (By using so-called lazy sequences). However the catalog will not speed up your actual object access time unless you divide them up amongst several folders or use a BTreeFolder. The latter being a simpler solution from a design standpoint. Good luck!

I notice you mention post/pre conditions (something that UML obviously talks about). I wonder if we want to do a bit of research on Eiffle and it's contractual description. The only thing I wonder is if some of this is actually useful programatically, if that makes sense? It's great info, but is it useful at runtime? In Eiffel (I've never heard of Eiffle :-), pre- and post-conditions are turned into run-time checks, just like assertions. There are separate flags to turn code generation for pre- and post-conditions off. This is useful, as follows: while debugging your code, turn both on. When you've fully debugged an application, you turn both off. When you've fully debugged a library module, you create two versions: one with both turned off, for use in fully debugged applications, and one with pre-conditions on and post-conditions off, for use by other code that is still in need of debugging. I've heard that this works very well, and in Python 3000 (when we have optional static typing) I would love to add this to Python.

Without these things being supported more in the core language, it seems
quite awkward. Being able to do the followng is nice:
class ILockToken(Interface.Base):
def frame(self, width, height):
"a frame"
class LockToken:
__implements__ = ILocktoken,
...
The following would (will?) be better:
interface ILockToken:
def frame(...):
class LockToken implements(ILockToken):
...
But I'm not sure how one would go about setting your meta-data in a way that
is at all natural to Python. I think that exceptions that a method
must\should raise *should* be part of a signature\contract. This is one of
the really cool things about Java. If you use a method, 'readFile' that
says it raises IOError, you *HAVE* to catch that exception (I believe in
order to compile). But it looks like what you're really wanting is to use
interfaces for documentation purposes, not for contract purposes. Not for
interfaces at this level of the language.
I'm guessing along your proposal, to state that a method raises ValueError
or Attribute I'd have to do the following?:
class ILockToken(Interface.Base):
def frame(self, width, height):
"a frame"
frame.setMetaData('exceptions', (ValueError, AttributeError))
...
Meta Data is a deadly term. Be careful with it.
Anyways, I doubt we want to invent our own IDL (no!) or reinvent Eiffel
(specifying pre and post conditions are only truely useful if they're
enforced, and without this enforcement in the core language I imagine that
could be expensive. They're a good thing for large systems, but Python
doesn't support them automatically), so it seems that this information seems
to be best put in the documentation (since doc strings in an Interface don't
also mean "Publish Me!", they can be used to document!).
Interfaces are contracts and pretty darn good ways of specifying parts of
the system, but don't confuse them with headers in C\C++\Objective C.
'IObjectManager' is a critical interface for Zope (so instead of having
attributes like 'isPrincpiaFolderish', we can ask
'IObjectManager.implementedBy(fooObject)'. Folder, on the other hand, is an
important class in Zope, but is primarily an amalgam of classes implementing
important Interfaces (ICopyable, IPropertyManager). It's unlikely that
we'll really have a need for a Folder Interface, because what's important
about Folder's is that they implement ObjectManager behaviors and
CopySupport behaviors.
To bring Java back into play here for a moment, a simple example is the
interface 'Cloneable'. By implementing 'Cloneable', well then.. when it's
time to clone, you can be cloned. If you don't say you implement
'Cloneable', an exception gets raised (even if you implement the proper
method). This is similar to how we sniff things today, but we just do
things like 'if hasattr(obj, "cb_isCopyable") and obj.cb_isCopyable()):'
I get the feeling sometimes that what you want with interfaces is actually a
bit closer to what Objective C does with the word Interface. And that is
that in Foo.h, you have the interface for class Foo:
@interface Foo {
...
And in Foo.m, you have the implementation:
@implementation Foo {
...
These interfaces are header files, and they're damn nice to use for
documentation since the specification of the class is separate from the
implementation. But they don't imply contracts in the way that Java's use
of the word Interface does. (Some implementations of Objective C call those
things Protocols).
Both needs are valid, but I think we'll benefit most from the first
(contracts). In order to make those work, we probably shouldn't make them
too foreign to specify, or the incentives to write them go way down (as is
evidenced by the amount of doc strings that go """ """ or "XXX: Fill in
later", getting developers to fill in too much 'meta data' is hard).

Jim Fulton writes: Dieter Maurer wrote: I cannot see, why the separation of interface and implementation should make the contract stronger. The interface *is* the contract. If someone builds a house for me, I don't want the house to *be* the contract. I want the house to adhere to the contract. Interface/contract and implementation are two qualitatively different things. But this does not imply, that the contract becomes stronger, when interface and implementation are separated. Packaging issues do not change the contract. I see however, that you usually will (should) start with a specification (the interface is part of it) and then provide an implementation (or more than one) for it. In my view, it is better to have a somewhat "weaker" contract that is met by the partners than a "stronger" contract that is violated. We disagree then. A weak interface that is satisfied by definition is nearly useless to me. If an implementation has nothing to do with its specification, then either the implementation or its specification is useless, at least in relation to one another. But, you note, that I did not speak about "a weak interface that is satisfied by definition" but about a "somewhat weaker contract that is met by the partners compared to a somewhat stronger contract but violated contract". Or, to say it differently, it is more essential the a system's documentation describes faithfully what is rather than what should be (but is not). I disagree alot. I'd rather have clear documentation of intended behavior, rather than have the documentation change based on implementation decisions. If the implementation decisions are essential: e.g. linear versus logarithmic time complexity, I would like to have that stated in the documentation. Note also that most classes implement multiple interfaces. Generating interfaces from classes trends to yield bloated non-cohesive interfaces. I may agree with this. Though some configuration for the generation process may help to reduce the danger. Similarly, most interesting interfaces are implemented by multiple classes, so nearness to implementation is not really meaningful. It helps the implementation to adhere to the contract. Please note that these points were argued extensively on the Python types-sig a couple of years ago. SIG archives tend to be non-searchable. I, probably, will not dig in to summarize the results. Even, if I do, this would be no garantee that I would be convinced. Let me stress my point of view. Maybe, we are not too far away from one another: * I like clear specifications (as you do) * The specification has more value, when its implementations adhere to it (you probably will agree). * A documentation about an existing system is more valuable, when it states what is rather than what should be (here we may disagree). I usually start by studying the documentation. If it descibes what is, then I will recognize early what does not fit my requirements and can work around it. If it describes what should be, I will determine the deficiencies much later in my projects, modifications are much more difficult and expensive. * Having the specification near the implementation helps the implementors to adhere to it, especially with long maintenance periods. (Here we may disagree). I believe in the value of well documented source, in literate programming.

[Zope-dev] RE: [Geeks] Re: Interface Meta Data proposal
[Christopher Petrilli] I notice you mention post/pre conditions (something that UML obviously talks about). I wonder if we want to do a bit of research on Eiffle and it's contractual description. The only thing I wonder is if some of this is actually useful programatically, if that makes sense? It's great info, but is it useful at runtime? Eiffel takes this all very seriously, and supplies several variants of assertions that are individually togglable. Preconditions verify a method is called according to its docs; postconditions verify a method does what it's advertised to do; anyone who takes debugging seriously is writing verification code of that kind anyway, and Eiffel automates it to an extraordinary degree. Note that's only the tip of "the contract" part: inherent in any contracting scheme is the ability to sub-contract. A subcontractor cannot require more, nor deliver less, than the original contract specifies. So, in Eiffel, for a subclass S that overrides a base class B's method M, the preconditions for S.M are magically OR'ed with the preconditions for B.M (S.M can't require more than B.M, but it may require less), and the postconditions for S.M are magically AND'ed with the postconditions for B.M (S.M can't deliver less than B.M, but it may deliver more). The language guarantees to keep all this stuff straight for you, and the doc-generation system for Eiffel knows all about it too. This isn't a collection of random debugging features in Eiffel: it's all in support of a particular formal theory of program design. if-you-can't-check-a-thing-at-runtime-you-can't-know-whether- it's-been-satisfied-ly y'rs - tim ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

[Zope-dev] ZPetterns implementation qustions
Hi, I'm trying to figure out the right way to implement a set of classes and roles in ZPatterns. I asked some questions about this a while ago, and then went away and did some learning, but I'm stuck again and I'm afraid I need to ask more questions. I have two types of actors - Person (with properties name, phone, email, password) and Organization (with properties name, phone, fax, business_number). I also have two participants - Customer and Reseller. Each participant can be either a Person or an Organization. The participants can fill several roles, like OrderingEntities, BillableEntities, etc. Starting from the bottom, I create a Specialist for each role, each one with two virtual Racks - customerRack and ResellerRack, so I can refer to an OrderingEntity without caring if it's a Reseller or Customer. My problem is in implementing the Participant Specialists and storing Participant and Actor classes. Do I create Specialists for the Actors? It seems to me that since there is either one Person or one Organization per Customer, then the actor object should be created in the Customers Specialist. So Customers will have 3 Racks - defaultRack (using Customer object), personRack (using Person object) and organizationRack (using Organization object). Does this make sense? If this is a good way to do it, how do I handle creating and accessing the Person and Organization objects? Do I call personRack.newItem(newCustomerId) in the script that creates the customer? Or do I somehow do it in a SkinScript in defaultRack? And how do I get to the Person data? With an attribute provider? Or in the SkinScript: WITH personRack.getItem(self.id) COMPUTE name=name, phone=phone, email=email, password=password, personObject=RESULT) Also, if Actors are stored in the Specialists that implement the roles they participate as, there is no place to store methods that are common to an Actor regardless of role - for example, a method that checks if a password is secure enough and called when adding a Person object. So I either duplicate these methods in every Participant Specialist, or create more Specialists - which seems like a waste either way. Another problem is how to edit these objects - if I have a form which includes fields for a Customer properties and for the properties of the Person object linked to that Customer, can I change the Person object from the Customer SkinScript? I don't think I can do this: WHEN OBJECT CHANGED STORE name, password USING personObject.propertysheets.manage_changeProperties(name=self.name, password=self.password) Right? Because name and password are not properties on the Customer DataSkin. So I have to call person.manage_changeProperties(...) in the method that changes Customer... it seems to me that I always end up doing object connections work in methods and the SkinScript can't help with anything :( Hope this is not too convoluted...I'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer. The existing ZPatterns examples all deal with fairly straightforward situations, but it's the more complex class relationships where the bears and tigers are hiding :) Itai -- Itai Tavor"Je sautille, donc je suis."

Re: [Zope-dev] Re: [Geeks] Interface Meta Data proposal
Jeffrey P Shell [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: But I'm not sure how one would go about setting your meta-data in a way that is at all natural to Python. I think that exceptions that a method must\should raise *should* be part of a signature\contract. This is one of the really cool things about Java. If you use a method, 'readFile' that says it raises IOError, you *HAVE* to catch that exception (I believe in order to compile). It's so cool, it really chills your productivity. The moment that Python starts doing that, I'll drop the language like a hot iron. 'Nuff about thermodynamics. Making exceptions statically checked is probably the worst misfeature of Java. The idea is nice, in that it forces you to deal with exceptions, but in reality it gets in the way too soon - when you're still exploring, refactoring, stuff like that you should be able to turn the damn things off. I've got five years of full-time Java programming behind me, so I know what I'm talking about. But it looks like what you're really wanting is to use interfaces for documentation purposes, not for contract purposes. Not for interfaces at this level of the language. Useful documentation, especially contracts, can be useful programmatically so stuff like that should at least be setup so that it is possible to move it into the language. A bit like the @pre and @post tags in Javadoc comments - they're always nice to have as documentation, but when you run iContract over them, they are activated and start checking your code's behavior. If you don't say you implement 'Cloneable', an exception gets raised (even if you implement the proper method). Another wart in Java that is nice in theory, but sits in your way in practice. I greatly prefer the Smalltalk "protocols" approach, where implementing an interface is accomplished by implementing the right methods period. The funny thing is, hardly any Smalltalk code ever checks for the interface: the (correct) assumption is that if you hand something over to some other thing that says it wants to iterate over whatever you handed over, you'd better be sure that the thing behaves at least enough like a collection so that it can be iterated over. That's the caller's responsibility (a sort of implicit precondition), and if the caller sends over something else, you get a DoesNotUnderstand exception. Very often I have longed in Java for the possibility of an object to implement a subset of behavior of another object, but that's not possible. For example, if you have a bunch of field labels you stuff in a collection just to be able to do getText()/setText() on them (say for internationalization). Now, I want to add menu labels to that collection, they also have getText()/setText() so they would be good citizens in that collection. Java does not allow that, unless I'm prepared to jump through instanceof/type casting hoops (which is only possible if I'm the one actually calling getText()/setText()). This is similar to how we sniff things today, but we just do things like 'if hasattr(obj, "cb_isCopyable") and obj.cb_isCopyable()):' The usual answer of an OO guru here is that if statements are considered harmful, and that if statements that check object types are considered very harmful. The modern variant is "these are strong refactoring smells". -- Cees de Groot http://www.cdegroot.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG 1024D/E0989E8B 0016 F679 F38D 5946 4ECD 1986 F303 937F E098 9E8B ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

It works very well in fully debugged applications.

[Zope] Building Zope within a Virtual Server
Hello, The new zope site seems to be running very well. I have a virtual server account on which I had previously installed zope 2.2.2 which was later successfully upgraded to 2.2.4, unfortunantly I had problems in setting up MySQLdb. I have now removed zope and python 1.5.2, re-installed python2.0, within my domain. Which is part of the larger domain. So my root directory is not in / but is in /usr/home/mydir/ , within which I have installed python2.0 I have changed the .login file so that the path for the new python installation is available through out my domain. So that when I type python2.0 at the # I can use the python interpreter, this seems to work OK. Therefore my question/s are: If there is python on the root machine as well as on the virtual servers, so that both python and python2.0 will run from the command prompt, will this cause problems when I install the new virsion of zope 2.2.4? Do I need to change any configurations to the makefile or setup so that zope knows it is using python2.0 and not the root installation of python, if so what will this changes be? I would like to configure the zope installation so that it is set up with an existing web server, currently Apache 1.3.12 as per your How-To by http://63.102.49.33/Members/maryniak/zope-on-suse64-howto by maryniak, but I am unsure as to where in the procedure I specify that I have python already installed? Do I need to specify this before? And finally, do I need the Python MySQLmodule extension be installed before Zope or after? Many thanks for your help Norman winmail.dat

How you organize your tasks between Dreamwever features and Zope features, etc? :Have you and problems with site upload from Dreamweaver into ZServer? :Use of Tables to implement zopesite design changes. :Not losing DTML tags.. :handling DTML :managing files locally and their relationship to ZODB thanks - Jason ___ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS['Interactive Art and Technology'] ___ 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] Does 2.2.4 solve Proxy+ZCatalog bugs?
The question as in the title. In changes for 2.2.3 I found: - Resolved known condition in the Catalog where objects are not guaranteed to be unindexed before indexing happens again. Now objects are guaranteed to be unindexed correctly first. This should resolve all outstanding KeyErrors with Catalog, although currently broken Catalogs will require a reindex to resolve them. Has anyone verified whether this in fact corrects the infamous ZCatalog key errors when one tried to reindex site proxied with Apache?

[Zope] Factoids for supporting zope
I am going through a justification (risks) of the use of Zope for a corporate client. Framing things as an Open Source play relies on the health of its community for its longevity and access to expertise for support. I remember some number tossed out when the Members folder at zope.org went to Btree. What is the current # of Members? Is this an estimate of the Zope community? I think there is probably some dead wood in that # but at least its an estimate. I remember it being over 10K. Our client thought that the recent VC money was about 1/2 what would be needed to make it fly. My argument is that money is leveraged by the active Zope community so a crux in my logic is how strong this community is. Other support?

[Zope] Possible disaster upgrading to 2.2.4
Hi all, been very very foolish and didnt backup my entire zope
installation prior to untarring the 2.2.x to 2.2.4 diff (binary) tgz.
after restarting i get a message "couldnt import product.ZDbase" and one
or two others, then screeds of oid errors then a start. But the site is a
bit slaughtered because anything basedon a zclass I created durny work.
even though it is there and not shown as brokwen itself. the only two
shown as broken are zdbase and zdconfera. my zclass is only based on
ZObject, CatalogAwareBase, _ZClass_for_Renderable so I am a bit stumped.
when I try to list in magament view, the contents of any folder containing
1 or more instances of my zclass, the console shows things like:

Re: [Zope] Factoids for supporting zope
My argument is that money is leveraged by the active Zope community so a crux in my logic is how strong this community is. Other support? Hi Albert. I'm not sure about the first part of the question, so i'll go to the second query. Our company uses zope in a combination of consumer and commercial applications. We find it very powerful, very fast, and quite flexible -- though this last comes later. Pluses: The Zope community is very strong, and very supportive. Queries to the list get answered fairly quickly, and, tend to be in direct proportion to the quality of the question asked. I have also found the tone of reponses to be respectful -- unlike some other obnoxious lists, you tend not to get an answer "Read the Man page!" Replies will range from detailed information on the specific problem to a recommendation of existing documentation that might have already addressed the problem raised. There is a wealth of documentation available on-line at zope.org. There are tutorials, full length documentation, how-tos, and the archive of the list-serves. the quality ranges from very thorough to fairly rudimentary, so, caveat preemptor! Docmentation written by the digicool folks is generally excellent. Zope will do anything that other web languages claim (e.g., asp and php), though with more sophistication, since it is written in a real, object oriented programming language (python). Minuses: The learning curve is STEEP!! Once you learn Zope, you can prototype and implement very complex solutions quickly, but plan on several months before you get the full power of the server under your hood. As many testimonials will attest, you can do some nice stuff in short order, but you'll be at the tip of the iceberg. There are no books on Zope yet, though there is one on the way from O'Reilly, and I think I heard there is one in the works from Wrox. There is a chapter on Zope at the end of "The Quick Python Book", but it is not very complete. As more users come on board, the publishers will quickly follow (remember, it was only about three years ago that the number of linux books would fit on a single shelf in a bookstore). You need to know Python to get the real power of the server working for you, but Python is powerful and very clean, and its datastructures are amazing. Good luck, ciao! greg.

[Zope] context in Python Script
I still can't get external Python Scripts to work as described in the Zope Book. I am using the version of Python Scripts from the public CVS. Internal Scripts work fine, but I can't seem to use the "context" object in an external script. def tryContext(): """tryContext function""" return context.objectIds() gives a NameError on context. -- def tryContext(context): """tryContext function""" return context.objectIds() with the "Try It" tab, no form for passing parameters comes up and the complaint is that the context parameter was omitted from the request. --- dtml-var tryContext to the first example above gives the same NameError on context and to the second example gives "a not enough arguments" TypeError --- It only seems to work when explicitly passing an argument like dtml-var "tryContext(this())" but I thought that context was supposed to be bound to an object by default as it is with an Internal Script.

Re: [Zope] PoPy and Delete results
Thanks for the response, Dieter. For consistency within Zope, an integer result could still be repackaged as a sequence result. For now I can do what I wanted to by: select count(food) from penguins where food='Henri Bergson' (thus getting the number of records about to be affected by a delete as a sequence result) before running: delete from penguins where food='Henri Bergson' Cheers, Chris On Tue, 28 Nov 2000, Dieter Maurer wrote: Chris Gray writes: In psql a delete command returns a count of the number of rows deleted. Is this returned result available to a ZSQL method using PoPy or PyGreSQL? I think, Zope should pass integer results from SQL commands. But I fear, it does not.

[Zope] 2.2.4 upgrade query
Further to my paniced posting earlier, I reinstalled 2.2.0, copied over my data.fs* and various products and everything fired up fine but i did one experiment (following on from Chris) - i didnt install zdiscussions. This resulted in major oids errors and my broken zclass as before/ install zdiscussions and bingo i am back in business. so. two questios: 1. why does my zclass appear to require zdiscussions when it is not based on it? 2. does 2.2.4 contain some parts of what was previously the standalone zdiscussions product? Is this an obsure backwarsd dependency break kindo of thing?

[Zope] ZODBC configuration problems
Alas, I am but a Zope newbie and need help getting my database connections
to work. I have previously configured the ODBC Data Source Administrator
to link Access mdbs with the PERL DBI module and it has worked with no
problems. I have installed the ZODBC product and in the Zope database
connection window all the names of the ODBC data sources that have been
configured show up in the listbox. Upon attempting to add any of the data
sources I receive the error "Invalid connection string" except for one of
the databases that Zope does accept. Upon testing this database connection
with a test query I get the following error:
Error Type: sql.error
Error Value: ('42000', -1907, "[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver]
Record(s) can't be read; no read permission on 'ProjectSheets'.")
The permissions on this database are such that any anonymous user can
access its data so the error message appears to be inaccurate. I double
checked the db permissions to make sure this is the case.
I am running Zope on NT 4.0 and using Access 97. The logged-in user on the
webserver is not a member of any Access-related workgroups so this
eliminates most security-related access issues (I think) and none of the
databases are passworded.
There's some flakiness going on here. Any recommendations for isolating
and resolving these problems?
Thanks,
P. Johnson

RE: [Zope] 2.2.4 upgrade query
Further to my paniced posting earlier, I reinstalled 2.2.0, copied over my data.fs* and various products and everything fired up fine but i did one experiment (following on from Chris) - i didnt install zdiscussions. This resulted in major oids errors and my broken zclass as before/ install zdiscussions and bingo i am back in business. so. two questios: 1. why does my zclass appear to require zdiscussions when it is not based on it? Not sure on that... 2. does 2.2.4 contain some parts of what was previously the standalone zdiscussions product? No. The only thing I could think of is maybe some change in the way products are registered or something that affects ZDiscussions badly. I'm just guessing here. Have you tried going from 2.2.0 - 2.2.1 or 2.2.2? If you see the same thing on one of them, that would narrow it down and we could look at the diffs between those releases and see if anything looks suspicious...

Re: [Zope] Possible disaster upgrading to 2.2.4
ok, its deffo to do with my data.fs cos the errors only start after that has been copied across. But the errors are different if i compare the console output from a failing 2.2.4 to a 2.2.0. If i do not install zdiscussions on 2.2.0 i only get the oid errors as items requiring display are requested from the database. with 2.4.4 i get the extra cannot import errors before zope starts regardless of whether zdiscussions are installed or not. something in zdbase is very different in 2.4.4. questions: 1. Will packing my data.fs help? I havent done this since well never. 2. Is the potential corruption of my data.fs likely to explode in my face without warning or is it/ will it only manifest itself during things liek product installs, upgrades etc? cheers Jonathan ___ 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 )

Re: [Zope] ZCatalog and dates
If I do a search for both meta_type of "news" a date of 2000/11/16 in the
goLiveDate field the results page returns "There was no data matching this
Catalog query". Yet when I do a search for the meta_type of "news" alone I
see that indeed the Catalog contains 2 entries with 2000/11/16 in the
goLiveDate field.
Why doesn't it find any entries when I search by date?
If goLiveDate is of DateTime type and is being indexed as a field index, try
using a range, for instance:
dtml-in "Catalog( { 'meta_type' : 'news',
'goLiveDate' : [ someDate , someDate + 1 ],
'goLiveDate_usage' : 'range:min:max' } )"
/dtml-in
someDate is _.DateTime('2000/11/16 00:00') or something like that.
p.s. It's very hard to catch a particular moment in the time continuum, but
it is easier with a time interval. :-)

want the parent context, I want the class1 context.
dtml-with "_.getitem(myClass1_id)" gets me the class2 instance at the

How can I get a new context of the newly created class1 instance?
This dtml-with should be in a DTML Method, not in your
constructor. As I recall you are trying to construct the class2
from inside the class1 constructor. There may be a way to get
that to work, I don't know. But if you use a DTML Method like
this:
--- add_myclass ---
This method contains a form to gather all of your required
property values.
It should POST to add_myclassProcessor.

I guarantee that you will end up with a folder MyClass1ID that
contains MyClass2ID.
This may not be the most spectacular Zope code. There are alot of
things that Zope can do that I don't know yet. But this works and
it's readable when indented properly.

Well, I just got there by chance after several hours of digging around. I first thought perhaps some DTML-Document was "bad-behaving". (not that I had an idea how it might do that.) With a (assumed) growing attractiveness of things like sql-based UserFolders, perhaps a big warning sign either on the main page of these products or ZCatalog (better IMO, since this is a default product) would be in order, I guess.

Re: [Zope] ZCatalog and LoginManager - be aware.
The problem is that one of your databases doesn't define the commit_sub() and abort_sub() methods on the DB class it exposes. You don't say which SQL database you're using, but this happened to me on a consulting project with ZOracleDA. A solution is to add the following methods to the database adapter's DB class inside DB.py: def commit_sub(self, *arg, **kw): pass def abort_sub(self, *arg, **kw): pass This isn't optimal, because it sort of breaks transactional integrity, but it does make it work. - Original Message - From: "Michel Pelletier" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Oliver Bleutgen" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2000 6:12 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] ZCatalog and LoginManager - be aware.

Robin, My educated guess is that what you want can't be achieved other than with css. The a tag has no properties for changing colors of one particular link. The body tag is the only place for this and as you know this changes them globally. This taken from the HTML reference Library: A HREF="link_destination" NAME="URL_fragment" TITLE="Title_of_destination" REL="Forward_relationship" REV="Reverse_relationship" URN="Uniform_Resource_Name" METHODS="Function_information" TARGET="Name_of_target_window_or_frameset" ACCESSKEY="Shortcut_setting" LANG="Document language" LANGUAGE="Script_language" INDEXSTRING="NetHelp_index_keyword" TOCSTRING="NetHelp_contents_entry" CLASS="className" ID="unique_id" STYLE="style_setting" DATAFLD="Column name" DATASRC="Data Source" From the horses mouth so to speak :(.

Re: [Zope] ZCatalog and LoginManager - be aware.
The problem is that one of your databases doesn't define the commit_sub() and abort_sub() methods on the DB class it exposes. You don't say which SQL database you're using, but this happened to me on a consulting project with ZOracleDA. A solution is to add the following methods to the database adapter's DB class inside DB.py: def commit_sub(self, *arg, **kw): pass def abort_sub(self, *arg, **kw): pass This isn't optimal, because it sort of breaks transactional integrity, but it does make it work. Thanks for your reply. I use ZPoPyDA (0.6.4 says the readme). I think I will not apply that patch (thanks nonetheless), because I have no requirements for indexing big amounts of text. And as I understand it, _indexing_ (as opposed to normal searches) is the only action where subtransactions help. My main motivation for posting was to get that problem into the public, so that others may find it while doing desperate searches in this mailing list ;-). And perhaps - if I dare - to suggest to disable subtransactions in ZCatalog by default. cheers, oliver ___ 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 )
Re: [Zope] html expertise anyone.
In article 00a501c05999$460c1840$0202a8c0@typhoon, Phil Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Robin, My educated guess is that what you want can't be achieved other than with css. The a tag has no properties for changing colors of one particular link. The body tag is the only place for this and as you know this changes them globally.

I'm using named CSS classes, but the complexities of CSS are a bit of a pain. -- Robin Becker ___ 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 )
Re: [Zope] ZCatalog: How to request boolean NOT searches?
Dieter, Doug Morse writes: ... negating a ZCatalog index lookup ... Only ZCatalog text indexes support a restricted form of negation. Keyword and field indexes do not. Text indexes support only "and not": e.g. "Zope and not databases". Free standing "not" or combined with "or" (rather than "and") is not supported. Super, thanks Dieter! Not the answer I was hoping to hear, but it least it's definitive. ;-) I am curious: Do others think this feature might be worth adding to the ZCatalog? If so, perhaps it should work its way into a proper feature request... Cheers!

Hi Deiter
Thus, install "ZDbase" or determine, why it can not import it.
Already installed in 2.2.0 before upgrade. I have perused the output on

You have ZDiscussion installed?
Already from before. Reinstalled as well no joy. I also tried a new

things work until i copy in my data.fs then barf.
i think this has manifested itself since zope 2.2.2bx. make sure to add an
