Re: [Zope] Does anyone care whether we deprecate ZClasses?
Big mistake, IMHO, You have no replacement for intermediate developers... the only decent documentation, being the various books, have ZClasses throughout. Explain their absence to the newbies grokking for Zope enlightenment. Not everyone needs/wants development tools, some like the TTW management. The ZClass code seems to work flawlessly for me, never a problem. Who didn't cut their teeth with ZClasses? ZClasses are the reason I realized Zope was so powerful... Gee, how would I use an Object database???, the ZClass showed me... and later I added Zope Products to the mix with my ZClasses and created a viable business based on Zope. How are newbies going to make the leap to the newer Zope offerings without a ZClass to start with. This list is full of experts... and I appreciate the resource... but often the intermediate Zope programmer is plowed over... whether it's the topic of ZClasses or DTML, or any other way Zope used to do things. I have to choose each Zope technology carefully for the time investment. ZClasses were well worth my time measured with the whole picture... web design, flash programming, HTML, RSS, _javascript_, css, interactive marketing, systems administration, etc. I can't say that for some Zope technology offerings. I took the better part of 1 1/2 years developing a business based on Zope, heavily relying on ZClasses (and DTML), based on the choices in Zope presented at the time. I bought every book available, which pointed to ZClasses and DTML being THE way to go... I bought into the TTW strategy of managing web apps, and I like it... ZClasses fit the bill for me... I don't need the CMF, APE, ZPT, Plone projects... I need a simple way to deliver rich objects in an object database... ZClasses My business venture, based on Zope is just now starting to bear fruit... it would be a shame if the frantic pace of Zope's software lifecycle couldn't be patient enough for the real world's business lifecycles. I started developing on 2.6.1 and have been able to stay fairly current to 2.7.3, and stayed fairly pure, only products added were formulator and varimage... figured staying compatible with Zope's core features would be to my benefit... ZClasses are a core feature of Zope Unlike the depreciated Versions feature, which was more of a problem that benefit ZClasses do work, DTML does, as long as you don't try to make them solve complex problems. Keep ZClasses until there's a replacement for "Simple Rich Objects in the Object Database" for the intermediate Zope programmers. This hits me very close to home, I apologize for any harsh terms and appreciate Zope, the Zope team, and the work of all of the folks on this list, making it so great. I hope this helps in the discussion and weighing of priorities.

Most serious Zope developers stopped using them a long time ago and are frustrated that we still expend resources keeping them around. For example, the release of Zope 2.8 has been delayed by the requirement of getting ZClasses working with Zope 2.8. We could choose to deprecate ZClasses. If we deprecated them in Zope 2.8, they would still work in Zope 2.8 and Zope 2.9, but their support would be removed in Zope 2.10. Would anyone be upset if this happened?

Re: [Zope] Does anyone care whether we deprecate ZClasses?
Yoohoo, ZClasses are not an expert technology to use, they are an introduction to Zope... Just because I use a thing, doesn't mean I can support/maintain a thing. I can read the list, and try to help folks with questions that I've experienced... that's the support that can be offered at my skill level. If that's not enough... fine... drop ZClasses, then DTML (you know, its next)... and all the folks in this boat with me. ZC should decide whether the benefits of ZClasses for low-end developers match against the hurdles to keeping it with the newer Zope releases. If they don't see a need for this skill-level type of tool in Zope's feature list, they will pay down the road... Growth is king, even for Zope, who grew this platform? Growth means newbies, right? What elements got Zope to where it is? Could ZClasses be on that list? Why? And seeing comments like... - "Move to Zope Python Products" - you cant see the skill differences between OOP Zope's API vs. ZClasses - "Use the Archetypes/CMF/Plone setup" - UML training? the CMF API and Plone underpinnings, easy? - "Maintain it yourself then" - Update very slick code within Zope's flexible and aging API, with ZODB API too?

Re: [Zope] Does anyone care whether we deprecate ZClasses?
Thank You for giving me a
timeframe for this stuff. 4 to 6 years is indeed a long time. That
would, in effect triple the lifespan of my project, and be far more
reasonable.
It was the "yeah, dump it today" remarks that set me off. These
remarks are shortsighted at best, and harmful to Zope's PR at worst.
Thanks for the response, I will contribute where I can.

Do not worry too much!
Jim proposed to keep ZClasses alive until (at least) Zope 2.10.
And he asks whether there is enough interest to keep them longer...
If the Zope 2 releases progress in the same speed seen recently,
then Zope 2.10 will come in 4 to 6 years. That's a lot of time.
Of course, it is planned that future release cycles are much shorter
(one release every 6 months) but I do not yet buy that this will
indeed happen. Almost all releases were planned much earlier
than they happened.
And, we can keep ZClasses alive, at least until the next major
"Persistency" shakeup (after Jim made them working again for
the current "Persistency" shakeup) -- even when they are no longer
in the core.
In fact, I have had ten times more problems with Archetypes (which
I use now) than with ZClasses (which I used formerly).
It is true (and sad) that there are no unit tests for ZClasses
but ZClasses just broke twice in the past across releases
and the community quickly found
workarounds. These fixes were found much faster than those
for the security problems which were introduced from time to
time into Zope through security shakeups -- despite the fact
that there are unit tests for the security subsystem.
Thus, the right approach (in my view) is that all users
of ZClasses tell Jim, that ZClasses are used and interesting.
ZClasses may nevertheless get deprecated but probably kept
longer then Zope 2.10 unless they cause major problems.
For new projects, you should investigate the new options.
Product development will get much simpler with Zope3 technology
(and its schemas and views). Currently, there is no TTW
("Through The Web") development in Zope3 land, but that is planned.
In about 2 to 4 years, we may have new ZClass like
functionality implemented with Zope3 technology.
And I am quite confident that the old ZClasses will live til
then...
And so here's the confession... "Hello, I'm Jon... I've used Zope for 2
years, and I can't help others program high-level Python OOP
tools/platform resources in a propriety web content management server.
I only can support their efforts when the occasional mailing list
opportunities present themselves."
That's fine. Continue with this support!
Do not worry too much about ZClasses. They will stay
for a significant time because Jim plans to take the next
major hurdle (thank you, Jim!).
After that, probably only small changes will
be necessary -- as in the past. We, the ZClass users, can
manage these minor changes -- as we did in the past.

Re: [Zope] Re: Zeo
FYI, Back during 2.6.x, I developed my whole system on a Windows Laptop, migrated to a Windows ZEO System, 1 client, 1 server. Then moved the ZEO client server to Red Hat AS 2.1, and now finally to SuSE 9.0. The only differences for me were the steps in installing PIL (Python Imaging Library) on Linux vs. Windows. I had to wait to be more comfortable deploying on Linux, but Zope was obviously ready for Linux long before I was. If you can stay away from platform-dependent products, and their dependencies, (Photo Product ImageMagick for one), you should be able to mix and match. The underlying python seems to facilitate this being a sort of intermediary compatibilty layer. My approach was to make sure every component and dependency was python based. Make sure to follow the directions for ZEO client/server compatibility, but those are python concerns. As for performance, I found Linux to be a large boost, especially when run without a GUI... the nature of the beast seems to lean toward Linux for good reason. The other item you'll find on the list, is that a ZEO configuration is much more stable and forgiving than the quite-stable stand-alone Zope. Even internal Zope routines run better in a ZEO setup. -Jon Cyr WeddingWeblog.com J Cameron Cooper wrote: ken wood wrote: I appreciate all the great tips on the cionfiguration issue.

There are a few OS-specific Products, though, but that only matters on the ZEO client (except for storages, which only matter on the ZEO server.) You don't even have to match versions, save for sanity. ZEO is not a tightly-coupled communications protocol.

Seems to be the thousand dollar question. Depends on the scope of your project... Zope 2 is seasoned, and has lots of advantages... existing products, toolsets, list expertise, and user base. Better for the short-term time investment. Zope 3 seems to be the next big thing... benefitting greatly from the lessons-learned and problems of Zope 2. A very impressive concept for a longer investment period. Early-on in the maturity cycle. But, apparently, they are very different in execution, but similar in concept.

Re: [Zope] Using Structured Text and HTML-quote together for RSS 2.0
Thanks... but go easy.
I have to choose which features of Zope to learn and use, based on a
much larger criteria than I can present here.
I do not wish to mix ZPT and DTML in my project... I had chosen DTML,
before ZPT was mature... It may be better, but I don't care for now...
when I'm able to re-assess which pieces of Zope to use in a future
project, I may well choose it.
As a professional programmer, you must see the advantage in adhering to
a project's standards and specs, as to managing the code in the
project. That is why I needed to use DTML for my RSS.
I have chosen my mix for this project, and benefit much more from my
standards docs much more than any single feature like ZPT can provide.
As far as I know, DTML is being supported into the future, and my hand
will not be forced.
I appreciate all the hard work in developing ZPT for the community, but
it's just not for me, yet... probably be used in my first Zope 3
project instead.
BTW, the solution presented by Peter hit the nail on the head... I have
a very nice RSS setup now for my Zope app.

Re: [Zope] Using Structured Text and HTML-quote together for RSS 2.0
Hi Peter, Happy to have the choice, don't get me wrong. I found DTML very easy, I'm old school and generate all of my HTML/CSS by hand. In addition to CSS, I've found it pretty good for inserting items into _javascript_, Applet and Embed elements. I find that I'm attuned to a tag system that jumps out at me when reading The ZPT stuff wasn't as easy to parse visually for me but if you're a Dreamweaver user or something, I'm sure its a godsend. I can move quite fast in DTML, and my ability to parse it visually is key in my productivity. Funny, I bought Zope's approach "hook, line sinker", early on, with the various Zope books published with DTML being a major piece of the Zope puzzle. DTML made sense to me then, still does. -Jon Peter Bengtsson wrote: Chris was merely suggesting. Technically ZPT is probably a better choice but DTML is pretty good too. On many of my projects that I started a longer time ago the less important templates were written in DTML because to me it was faster to write and the crucial ones that needed to last longer and might be edited by more people I used ZPT. Don't forget, for writing SQL statements and CSS sheets, DTML rocks! This proves why DTML won't go away as a supported templating "language".

The fileupload object is simply a file. (can be cStringIO,
can be tempfile - depending on size)
Best is to do so:
maxsize=120 # 1MB
fu=context.REQUEST.get('fileupload')
fu.seek(maxsize)
if fu.read(1):
raise OverflowError("File too big!") # or something like that
fu.seek(0) # rewind to start
filefolder.manage_addFile(...)
This avoids loading the whole file into memory to find out.

Re: [Zope] How do I Create a empty file in a ZClass object?
Hey,
As you'll hear shortly, ZClasses DTML are the old way to do
things, and are not highly recommended, at this point. Having said
that, I've had success using them.
To Add a ZClass into anything folderish, I've used...
dtml-call
"RESPONSE.redirect('manage_addProduct/WWAudioClip/WWAudioClip_factory')"
where WWAudioClip was the name of the Product and its ZClass
I place this in a DTML Method that is at the point I wish the ZClass
object to be created, a target if you wish. Works fine.
This will call the "Add" method in your ZClass.
To Add a regular file object somewhere, I've used..
dtml-call "this().manage_addFile(File_object_ID,
File_object_contents, File_object_title, content_type='audio/mpeg')"
Parameters Zope ID to be set, Contents (string, whatever), and Zope
Title, and mime-type (optional)

Re: [Zope] How do I Create a empty file in a ZClass object?
That seems to be the problem, I find ZClasses to fill a role for
intermediate skill level developers to create rich objects and
applications. The replacement at this difficulty level hasn't appeared
yet. My impression is that ZClasses will continue in Zope 2.x, but it
hasn't been enhanced or touched at all. The ZClasses implementation
seems to be solid. There are shortcomings with ZClasses when you try to
do too much with them. Some of the Zope 2 books have nice examples are
how and what you can do with ZClasses.
That said, I picked up Stephen Richter's book on Zope 3, very nicely
done... Zope 3 seems to be maturing pretty fast, and some/most of the
new features have been adapted to the older Zope 2 architecture (a
project called Five). If you're going to make a large investment in
time... and you're just getting started, I'd pick up this book, and see
if you can handle the difficulty level of Zope 3, at this point. Zope 3
technologies seem to be the New Way. Although advanced, Zope 3 seems
to be the result of a lot of self-examination of the triumphs and
mistakes of Zope 2... a few things I picked out an re-thought
organization scheme of naming, libraries, etc., the use of
interfaces/contracts Generally cleaner and more pythonic, allowing
much more power and flexibility... removing much of the mystery of Zope
2 inner workings and naming conventions.
As for DTML, the old way, DTML is a tag-based way to create web
interfaces, similar to CFML, PHP, ASP... inline tagging around and
within the HTML. The new way, is markedly different, and difficult to
get your head around at first, called ZPT (Zope Page Templates). ZPT
uses XML and an attribute system to embed commands in an HTML page,
without ruining your ability to use WYSIWYG editors like Dreamweaver,
etc. ZPT is highly regarded here on this list, and probably will win
out in the end. But there are enough DMTL folks, that DTML will be in
Zope 3 until ZPT takes over.
There is a Zope 3 mailing list, that might be helpful.
Just my observations and impressions,

[Zope] FYI: Zope 3 Book on Safari
FYI, I noticed that O'Reilly just added Steven Richter's Zope 3 book to their Safari service. I now read all my Safari-based manuals on a Tablet PC, rather than stocking my bookshelves with the appropriate resources at $30-50 bucks a pop. Even though I'd already bought the Zope 3 book, I think it's great that I don't need to have it with me now. I'll probably donate it to the local library as I did with the rest of my bookshelf resources.

Re: [Zope] Creating a DTM Document in a variable folder.
You might want to use index_html
rather than index.html in this example. The dot means other things in
Python, and index.html is a carryover from filesystem webservers. My
impression is that the acquisition mechanism doesn't like ids with a
dot, in some circumstances.
Not trying to nit-pick, just got hung-up on that item myself once
before.

Re: [Zope] add multiple images to zope folder
I once started down that path with FTP. I use HomeSite, as well, to save via FTP. I investigated a Linux package called Delegate, that would provide a rev-proxy for FTP over SSL, in which normal FTP clients with SSL could transfer files. www.delegate.org I didn't continue, priorities and all. Maybe a WebDAV client over SSL would be easier, depends on your needs. -Jon Chris Purves wrote: On 04/12/05, Jonathan Cyr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Use FTP, Open Internet Explorer, type ftp://zopeusername:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8021/directory/ and drag and drop from explorer to ie, zope assigns them as images automatically.

Re: [Zope] Zope workflow for change management
Could be... Plone is a product built on top of Zope, and includes a component called CMF (content management framework) CMF is available as a Zope extension without Plone, as well. CMF is the workflow piece of the puzzle. The piece you seek. I'd research CMF to see if you need the overhead of Plone or not.

Re: [Zope] Java vs Zope

The Websphere install is littered with python files, for install/setup purposes... hmm two cents, -Jon David Johnson wrote: Andreas and others, Thanks for your response. I think my confusion lies in the idea that not everyone uses Java (though they may talk about it). I do not see everyone using Java. In fact I see very few large or successful companies using it. Even Sun and IBM develop their core components in C/C++. GNU, Linux, MySQL ... all C/C++. Ditto Oracle. In my market, we've been able to easily outpace and perform competitors going the J2EE route, and for a lot less money. In regards to web development, the list of technologies being implemented is overwhelming. It took extensive research to find and settle down to Zope. In my research, I found it took 57 complex files to develop a simple and ugly J2EE application to display a list of cars from a database (various Ant, xml, jar, war and other files). In Zope this can be done in 2 objects, and it integrates nicely with apps like Dreamweaver, so it looks and feels nice. We often find the need to integrate with other products and when we do, either the product's manufacturer a) is interested in market share, or b) they avoid change. For companies who are into market share they often use a greatest common denominator technology such as C, Perl, or HTTP. Java does not play nicely here. Companies who avoid change usually do so because they produce large-scale or small market systems, and change is too expensive and hard. In this case Java, again, does not play nicely. In Java it seems that not only do you have to figure how to interface with others, you have to figure out how to do it in Java as well (which is not trivial). Zope and Python seem better at translating thoughts into code, and doing so with the right balance of object orientation, and scalability. Zope provides a solid framework for development and scalability, while providing mechanisms to include and deploy very custom and specific features in a standardized way. -Original Message- From: Andreas Jung [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 01, 2006 4:03 PM To: David Johnson; zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Java vs Zope --On 1.

Re: [Zope] Leave the ivory tower now!
Do we know Is the Zope community growing or shrinking? Is there even a problem? Is Python growing or shrinking? Is there any connection? Zope.org seems to have been built as a community center, with accounts/ 3rd party add-ons etc. Is it working. RubyonRails.com has none of this functionality. Perhaps a GetZope.com site, similar to GetFirefox.com is in order, that provides a very small amount of "get started" information. Two Cents, -Jon Gert Thiel wrote: Dear friends. A few days ago the Ruby on Rails development team published the 1.0 release. At that occasion the Zope fans are reminded how far Zope fell far behind in terms of attention and recognized widespread. Python has batteries included. Zope is a power plant. But still everyone speaks of Django, Turbogears or Ruby on Rails. Even if they talk about the shortcommings of J2EE. Some of the best content management systems are build using Zope 2. CPS, ZMS and my favourite: Plone. And Typo3 gets even more attention. Why? Because we failed. We aren't marketing Zope at all. Have a look at zope.org. Do you think, that any CEO will stay at that site more than 10 seconds? Have a look at rubyonrails.org and cry. Zope 3.2 will be delivered soon. Have any look at zope.org where is You got it. To a certain extent Zope 2 was attracting like a nuclear power plant. Whenever I start programming with Zope 2, latest for Plone, I can feel its power before even diving into it much, but I'm alarmed of its pitfalls at the very same time. So all my hopes are with Zope 3 which enabled me without hurting me yet. Will I get a truly powerful replacement for J2EE? Here are my ideas to make Zope 3 the most successful framework ever: Make them love Zope at the very first look: * Make installing Zope a double-click or one-command-only experience and * offer a 30 minutes tutorial of programming an useful application including an audiovisual show for an appetizer that offers a feeling of success. Bribe the managers: * Include Microsoft SQL-Server and Oracle relational database access. * Include powerful XML processing facilities and * include everything necessary and useful to build or use web services. Enable the beginners: * Easy to read and understand but still complete and current documentation is a must. * Avoid cluttering everything about Zope across articles, blogs, chats, mailing lists and wikis. Keep everything available and searchable at one central location. Remember: The power of Ruby on Rails doesn't come from either Ruby or the framework but from its community.

Re: [Zope] CPU architecture and Zope
Just reading along... At the OS view, would dual cores balance the Linux overhead on one CPU and python/zope on the other, based on resources required. In other words, would the second core allow python to go faster, not having to deal with the various OS and distro tools (apache, squid, pound, mailman, etc.) overhead items. Does the mechanism governing multiple cores separate/allocate processes by resources needed? ... and does a python/zope process get evaluated as a "heavyweight" process, maybe getting allocated the lion's share of a single core. It seems that the whole world of multiple cores CPUs will be upon us very quickly now. The ZEO Server on one, ZEO Client on the other is a good answer.

Multiple CPUs, cores etc. together with Python make only sense when you run multiple Python processes e.g. multiple ZEO clients or ZEO client + ZEO server. For standalone Zope instance dual-core CPU give you nothing. I'm probably stating the obvious here, but a ZEO server + at least one ZEO client is generally advisable at the very least for debugging purposes, in which case dual CPUs/cores can be somewhat helpful (though the zeo server is not terribly processor intesive in my experience). Even with a non-ZEO setup, dual cores could obviously be helpful if you were running other cpu intensive processes like an RDBMS on the same system.

[Zope] New Product called Zoep
Hello, Is there any concern about naming confusion with the new VOIP browser extension called Zoep (from Slashdot this morning). Mozilla Firebird became FireFox, due to naming confusion. Should these folks continue with such a similar name? Is anyone concerned?

Re: [Zope] New Product called Zoep
Decided to look it up... Interesting page at... http://www.zope.com/about_us/legal/trademark.html How important is the Zope brand and trademark? Will any action be worth the effort/cost? What/Who is the ZTAG Group? Still, just asking questions, -Jon Peter Bengtsson wrote: I'm concerned but don't have the energy or power to do much about it.

Re: [Zope] Best Practice for transparent redirect for plone site
I've had good luck with a RevProxy tool called Pound, which is Zope friendly. This and the VHM work great together, and no Apache overhead. http://www.apsis.ch/pound -Jon JulianRead wrote: Hi i have set up a plone site and here at : http://www.myplonesite.com:8080/ploneinstance/mypage and i want it to look like http://www.myplonesite.com/mypage what is the best way to achieve this server setup is linux/apache/zope2.8.6/plone2.1.2 i have looked at virutalhostmonster but is it more efficient to use apache mod_rewrite rules?

[Zope] Production Advice
Greetings All, After a long dev cycle, I'm putting a Zope web app into production shortly... and need some advice. What is a good daily backup strategy with Zope 2.71? I'll be running ZEO, and only use three add-on products, Formulator, VarImage and PIL. My application consists of regular items in the ZODB, two python Products, and a half-dozen ZClasses Right now, I'm developing on a WinXP machine, and am considering SuSE 9.1 for my spec, any experiences, good or bad?... YAST2-installed or manually? All advice would be helpful as I weigh my options, -Jon Cyr [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
