[Zope] case insensitive search?
Is there an easy way to make the Find tab case insensitive. It seems like a very common need, but I see that FindSupport.py is calling string.find which makes it seem as though this is harder than it should be. -- 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] Core Session Tracking kudos & namespaces
Bob,
Responding to both of your messages in this one...
Actually, in the current implementation, session data objects are not
acquirers, so the syntax you're advocating won't do what you think it might.
Currently, nothing would be acquired, and the call will fail
inside of a "with sessiondatamanager" even if we did have a __getattr__
interface to session data objects. This could be changed. We could make
data objects acquirers. I can see the rationale for something like this,
where you want to "fall through" to a default acquired value. Session data
object interaction with acquisition was something I didn't think about at
all. I'm glad you've brought it up.
Note that it's also possible to do something like:
Which will return the rendering of bar (which is itself the result of
'amethodcall') if a value for 'foo' cannot be found. This is way more
verbose than just acquiring 'amethodcall', but it's very understandable.
Currently, I'm leaning towards leaving it explicit both in syntax (explicit
set and get methods) and semantics (no acquisition), because we've gotten in
a lot of trouble in the past when attempting to do likeminded magical
things -- like making all common Zope objects acquisition-implicit. And
although acquisition isn't that magical, it can sure blow up on you when you
don't know what you're doing. Murphy's law says that this will happen to
every newbie, and I'll be left holding the bag. ;-)
As for some of your other points: The current interface is very verbose.
I'm just not sure that's such a bad thing. :-) You can do something like:
... if you don't want to do all the s and -lets.
God help me though, I am thinking of aliasing the __call__ method of a
session data manager to getSessionData, so that this would work:
or this:
This might be explainable. It reminds me however of a similar feature of
the catalog that is very hard to explain (the aliasing of searchResults to
__call__), and it makes me want to not do it. If I do do it, getSessionData
will disappear from the interface, and there will only be one way to do it
(via a session data manager's __call__).
I'm not sure I understand your desire to do:
I particularly don't understand what would end up getting rendered if (as
per your syntax) you subsequently did:
I sympathize with the need to convert all your scripts over to use
sessioning from hidden form-field encoding and the like... I'd really
appreciate some input as to what kinds of problems you're trying to solve
with sessioning, because this implementation was done sort of clean-room
style and thus may lack real-world practicality. I haven't used it as a
component in any development personally. Having some real examples of
conversion work or initial implementation work to chew on might help me
markedly improve the implementation. Some of my arguments may be an
overreaction to past problems, and you may need to straighten me out with
some examples of how making session data objects acquirers and making the
interface less verbose could help more than it could hurt in a real-world
app.
Thanks much for all the input!

RE: [Zope] Advice on searching/indexing Word documents?
This is something I've been longing for a long time. Wvare is cool, and it should also be able to access properties of many Windows (OLE) documents, not just Word documents. I've been thinking about extending the File class so that it becomes aware of the different file types and allows access to (read/write) meta data and indexing of the files' content.

Re: [Zope] Core Session Tracking kudos & namespaces
And as I've just figured out by trying to convert some stuff to sessions, a not unconsequential result of allowing session variables to be acquired (if only for read purposes), is that existing code is easier to adapt. I might now call a script without burying form variables or parameters in the URL. If I use implicit acquisition (where the posted form data and URL data is read FIRST), then I can gracefully upgrade these scripts without changing anything. With the current scheme I have to go and search out all occurences of variables like "customer_id" and change them to session syntax. So I guess I'm arguing that the read case and write cases are fundamentally different, that you basically want to support the introduction of session variables into the namespace for read purposes through acquisition, and it's (marginally) OK if read/write don't share the same syntax.

Re: [Zope] Core Session Tracking kudos & namespaces
The advantage of the last form (below), is that you can use acquisition, and don't need to know whether the variable came from the session or from elsewhere. If you *really* want it to come from the session only, you can always add the "only" tag to the dtml-with call. In conjunction with this, it might be nice to have a special call that sets the variable, if defined by acquisition, in the session. Something like would set "a" to the acquired value for "a", leave it undefined if not defined, and not change it if it was not acquirable elsewhere (the acquired value would take precedence over the session value).

Yes. I will think about this, because I'm not very happy about the current
data object interface. It definitely needs work.
I had orignally intended to use a straight mapping (dictionary) interface,
but we've got a lot of DTML code that looks like "_[[['']]]" already, so I
didn't want to perpetuate the problem by encouraging __getitem__ and
__setitem__ access in DTML. :-) That's why you can't do SESSION['varname']
right now, and instead you need to use SESSION.get('varname'). This lends
itself better to things like:
which potentially has the same rhythm as
as opposed to the following combination
vs
The enforced parity in the former set of DTML snippets between get and set
methods makes the data object a little easier to explain to non-Python
people. And it's easier to explain to Python people that the data object
isn't a mapping than to explain to non-Python people what a mapping is in
the first place and how and why they need to do all the funny quoting and
bracketing. :-)
The __getattr__ interface for retrieval and .set() for insertion might work
better, however, because it doesn't require quoting at all. It still has
the problem that you may want to use an indirect variable name, in which
case you'd need to use something like "_.getattr(sessiondataobject, aname)",
which is just as evil. You also can't do assignments in DTML, so you'd
still need a 'set' method.
A potential rhythm, however, might look like:
and
I sorta like it the original way now that I've written that down. :-) It's
easier to explain, AFAICS.

I think there is (lots of) money to make, but if your company has no strategy for Zope (only a, short sighted, strategy based, only on the major brand names) you are going nowhere with your Zope expertise within your company.

[Zope] browser window as canvas for configurable objects?
I'm new to zope, so maybe these questions are naive. I have several objects that I want to display on my browser screen simultaneously. Each object lives in its own zope directory, and I can trivially include them in a bigger canvas using a table and dtml-with and dtml-var. So far so good. Each of the sub objects can put up its own links for configuration, etc. Some of the sub objects might be pageable (e.g. have links to next 10 items, previous 10), or they might be configurable (you could go to a screen to establish filtering parameters for that object). What I'm looking for is the simplest possible effective way to manage these links so that after the customization operation or the next page oeration, or whatever is handled, the original page is displayed (and of course any affected objects are updated). In some cases there may be a side-excursion made before the page is re-displayed (e.g. for "next 10 items", there is no side excursion), for "update filtering parameters" or update object, a separate form will be brought up). I should mention that the same objects may appear in the same or different forms on different pages, i.e. there isn't just one main page. Some alternatives I can see are: 1. Use javascript, and do a history.go(-1) or -2, as the case may be to go back to the original page. Disadvantage: requires an extra round-trip, probably would have to make sure page wasn't cached, may break user's model of how navigation works (if he made a mistake in the configuration, he'd have to go forward, rather than backward, to retrieve the configuration form, for example). 2. Use a pop-up window. Redraw the original when done. Advantage: by labelling the main window "main" or whatever, it's easy for unrelated objects to "return" to the main application by (1) causing "main" to reload and (2) deleting their own window. 3. Use frames. Seems overly complex. But maybe this is just a general aversion to hacking to much html. 4. Use existing zope infrastructure to finesse this. I'm not sure how to do this--my main confusion centers around how much state to I have to preserve (and where?) to re-create exactly the same request that I had at a previous level--in a totally generic fashion. 5. Build some sort of Product that represents this model directly. This seems the most promising, if not the easiest. Can someone point me to any prior art on this, or offer any suggestions? It seems to me that since zope is supposed to be about "object publishing", then this application should (ideally) be dead-easy. But at the moment I'm scratching my head. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! P.S. Does anyone else think this facility would be useful? Bob Sidebotham [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: [Zope] Advice on searching/indexing Word documents?
Cool. I'll have to take a look at this. Does anyone know if there is any effort aimed at writing document filters for use with Zope? A lot of commercial products used for knowledge management (like NextPage LivePublish, some Intranet search engines, etc) already have features like this, and I would think that a project for document filters would be a good idea, if something like this doesn't already exist. Possible things that could be filtered for input: - The IPTC header data from a JPG/TIF image - comtains a few things like the caption (the same one that you can edit in photoshop) - This would be a good addition to various Image classes. - Office documents (word, excel, powerpoint, wordperfect, staroffice, etc) - PDF and Postscript documents - Illustration files (Illustrator, CorelDraw) The value of such filters to Zope for use in knowledge-management and digital asset management would be great; I'm wondering if anyone is working on anything like this?

[Zope] Zope Projects in NL/Europe?
Hi all, Just wondering: are there any Zope projects are available in the Netherlands/Benelux/Europe? We did one last year but they seem hard to find. Are there commercial projects available or is Zope mostly used on internal projects? Is there any demand for Zope expertise around here? Reason I'm asking is that I'd love to continue working with Zope, but it's hard to justify in a company focused on Microsoft and Oracle, especially if there is no money to be made. I can learn Perl on company time and Linux is our internet server OS of choice, but JSP/Java and .NET (the latter is not that bad, uses SOAP/XML-RPC) is next if we don't find a use for our Zope expertise.

RE: [Zope] Advice on searching/indexing Word documents?
I've been thinking about doing this. I wonder if there are any C filter libraries that read word docs. The word 2000 docs are supposedly non-binary, so you could proabaly write a parser of sorts in python or C/Lex; I used to write text filters in C and Lex for my previous employer - one of these days I will figure out how to extend python with C and do this. I'm thinking about doing this type of thing in order to make PDFs searchable (as well as IPTC catopn data in JPG files). Perhaps in the mean time, one could set up a macro in normal.dat template file that ftps the doc to zope on every save and updates properties containing the full text for the document. Sort of kludgy, but I assume it would work, if you were familiar with VBA coding, and had access to a http client component. Doing it this way would make it so you would likely have to manually reindex the catalog. There might be a way around that though, to automate it...

In order to give users a set of configurable options throughout the application this is what I did. In the root folder of the application I defined a lines type property for each option. For example, telephone number types (home, work, cell etc.) The selection looks like this: Phone Type: The DTML Method valid_phone_types just returns a list of what it found in the phone_types property: This is the form entry for the user to edit the lines property. Note it is in a table with others but the key thing to look at is the way the line break is in the middle of the 'dtml-var'. If you don't do this you will end up with extra/empty lines in your property.

[Zope] Selection and Lines Properties for DTML Docs
I'm new to Zope and am interested in the use of document properties for separating content and design in documents (i.e., using in the "edit" tab to insert properties defined on the "properties" tab>. I've had success with simple text properties and would like to be able to present the user with selection properties (choice 1, choice 2, ...). That works well when I first define a "lines" property, then a "selection" property. But, what I'd really like to do is hide the lines property from the user. I've tried putting a lines property in another document, then setting the selection value to 'source_doc.lines_prop'. That yields an error "No select variable source_doc.lines_prop." Any ideas on the right way to do this? Please feel free to point me to good documentation! _ Steve McMahon, SunType Publishing Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice & fax: (530) 757-7682 http://www.suntype.com ___ 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] Zope vs. Enhydra
You may be interested to know that the HiperDOM project, currently in development by DC and my company, aims ot bring to Zope a template system similar to the XMLC of Enhydra. Check it out: http://www.zope.org/Members/mj/HiperDom In my opinion, you really can't compare Enhydra with Zope. Enhydra is exclusively a programmers tool. Zope, through it's friendly UI, enables you to delegate many maintenance activities to end-users, where they belong.

I wonder if you might consider installing ZDebug, which might give you a little more info. Zope 2.2.5b1 also has some modified code that may affect the results. BTW the idea of hooking traversal to implement TF didn't work out. But the latest version, 0.3, solves the acquisition problems, meaning that Zope's security policies should work correctly now for transparent objects.

For example, method plusX:: self, x return len(self.objectIds()) + x ...can be called like 'folder.plusX(3)'. You can also acquire objects that your method needs from 'self'.

[Zope] html_quote in python methods?
I am using Python Methods a lot now. Good: no more to get to the objects I need. Yay! no more worrying about closing blocks. Yay! OK, when I make a syntax error, there is no help in the traceback. My Python is getting better and better as a result. To give something back, I have a hint that took me a while to figure out: print '%s' % (self.thevariable) will not work. The first % needs to be escaped like so: print '%s' % (self.thevariable) Now, can I use html_quote in a Python Method? I am letting people enter data for redisplay, and I know some Bozo (TM) will somehow put in "" and break the page. Can I keep this from happening? html_quote does not seem to be in the Python Method namespace.

Re: [Zope] Something missing in Python Methods
Hi, Curtis... You're right for the word "method"... But that's in fact why they are not called "methods" anymore ! :-)) Don't blame Python Script team : it's a non-trivial problem, both for security and... feasibility reasons ! I don't know wether it actually works for Python Methods, but you should try to pass your environment, just as you would for DTML Methods, like this : And then you should gain access to Zope environment. But remember this is not elegant and may lead you to security problems. Regards, P.-J. Curtis Maloney wrote: > > Greetings > > Yeh, yeh.. I know..

[You should be able to find several references to this in the archives.] Firstly, these old XXXUserFolder products still work acceptably unless you are using the PTK (or other similar products). The incompatability is not with Zope, but rather with these other products. Adding to NUserFolder to keep up with API changes is probably not the best solution, because the User Folder API has been significantly extened. A better approach is to use a customisable User Folder product like LoginManager. It should be possible to transplant the authentication functions from NTUserFolder.
