Re: [Zope-dev] ZSQL and Normalized databases (or why ZSQL sucks)

2001-04-20 Thread The Doctor What

* Adrian Hungate ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [010420 05:06]:
 May be I am misunderstanding your problem here, but are you suggesting that
 
 SELECT tab1.col1 col1, tab2.col1 col2
 FROM ... etc ...
 
 Does not expose 'col1' and 'col2' in the namespace for you? This is not my
 experience. Ok, I only have about 50 ZSQL methods on my intranet but they
 are all complex queries with column naming clashes. If it failed to work as
 you are suggesting, I would not have continued using Zope - Database
 connectivity was one of my criteria.

I mean that:
   SELECT tab1.col1, tab2.col1
   FROM ... etc ...

Does not expose 'tab1.col1' and 'tab2.col1'.  In otherwords, it
doesn't gracefully handle name clashes.  I realize that calling out
the variable 'tab1.col1' out of the namespace is a pain, but
(hopefully) in the future it would be made easier.

Perhaps like so:
dtml-var name='tab1.col1' (note single quotes)

 The normality (or abnormality) of your databases should make no difference,
 (Except to how complex your individual SQL statements become). What database
 are you running against? Maybe you have hit a database connector bug?

Postgresql.  I've tried all three of the DAs: Psyco, Popy and
PostresDA

[Nice Example Snipped]

What DB was that?  The syntax isn't what I expect from Postgres,
Tandem and MySQL.

 As far as the 'foo=0' example, if you set foo to 0, and do nothing in
 between to change it, of course a test for not equal to 0 will fail, what
 would you expect?

Here is the example again, but better:
paramfoo:int=0/param
dtml-if expr="foo  0"Not Zerodtml-elseZero/dtml-if

If called like so:
dtml-var expr="zsql_example(foo=200)"

It will ALWAYS print 'Zero'.

This makes it hard to do something with a param that defaults to
nothing like:

paramcategory_id=""/param
SELECT
url.id,
url.name
dtml-if category_id,
xref_url_category.categoryid as category_id,
/dtml-if
FROM
url
dtml-if category_id,
xref_url_category
/dtml-if
dtml-sqlgroup where
dtml-if category_id
  dtml-sqltest category_id column="xref_url_category.categoryid" type="int"
  dtml-and
  xref_url_category.urlid = url.id
/dtml-if
/dtml-sqlgroup


You can't even replace the param with "category_id:int=0" and then
check for category_id = 0 in the dtml-ifs.

I finished my project, so I'm happy for the moment.  I have another
ZSQL project (a DVD, Comic Book and Video tracker for my Manga and
Anime), so I'll be back.

Thanks to everyone who spent time to help out.

[Zope-dev] ZSQL and Normalized databases (or why ZSQL sucks)

2001-04-19 Thread The Doctor What

Does any one have an example of ZSQL being used witha normalized
database?  Or is ZSQL just useless?

Near as I can tell, between:
* Broken type marshalling
* Loosing the variable between the form and dtml-if
* Inability to handle table.field names for variables
* And enough flexibility to work around the above problems

This makes ZSQL extreamely nasty, and impossible to use with a
normalized database.

What's the point?  ZSQL sucks, how do I talk to the DB directly?

Yeah, I keep almost getting this to be useful.  But damn it if I
don't keep hitting a brick wall.  And there are no complete examples
or demos that I can find to load up.

I would like to apologize for being particularly pissy.  Things are
quite as bad as I say up there...

My third point is only half true.  I can have SQLTEST specify a
column name (aka a field):
dtml-sqltest somevarname column="SQLTABLE.sqlfield" type...

This makes things work MUCH better.  So there are work arounds.  But
this doesn't excuse this not working:
SELECT  table.field1, table.field2 FROM 

and then:
dtml-var name="table.field1"  --doesn't work
dtml-var name="field1" -- does work

I know that the '.' has a special meaning, but there should be ways
around this if the use wants.

I still would love some examples.  Do people end up with 4 ZSQL
objects per thing they manipulate in their database?:
UPDATE, SELECT, INSERT and DELETE?  Or do they mix them somehow?

 I don't understand this.  I'm assuming that you are losing values that
 are not in your argument list.  All you have to do is add the arguments.

That isn't what I mean.  Try this (typed in, so it may need to be
adjusted):
paramfoo=0/param
dtml-if expr="foo != 0"Life is good/dtml-if

You'll NEVER get Life is good to print out.  EVER.  This is because
ZSQL is setting foo to 0.  But dtml-var and dtml-sqlvar both work.

   * And enough flexibility to work around the above problems
  
   This makes ZSQL extreamely nasty, and impossible to use with a
   normalized database.
 
 Database normalization isn't really an issue.  It sounds like you're
 really just having problems with the syntax of joins.

Nope, can do joins.  Been doing joins (mainly inner).  Not the
problem.  The problem is that if I have tables like:
Table1
--
id
name
desc

Table2
--
id
Table1ID   -- Foreign Key thrown in for fun.
name
desc

And I join them, then I MUST rename all the selects using AS:
select
  Table1.id as id1
  Table1.name as name1
...etc

Because I can't have zsql put the variables in the caller's
namespace as "Table1.id".  It puts them in as "id" (without the AS).

Fortunately, I found the column for sqltest (which is the other end
of ZSQL):
dtml-sqltest id1 column="Table1.id" 

  
   What's the point?  ZSQL sucks, how do I talk to the DB directly?
 
 Grab the Python database adapter and write some python classes or
 external methods to do what you need.

Can I use them from a python script?  If not, what's the point?  I
mean: External methods are nice to have when you have *no other
choice*, but they aren't something I'd want to debug and deal with
for object.

  This makes things work MUCH better.  So there are work arounds.
 
 This isn't a work-around, it is the way that it is intended to be used.

I didn't see a single example of it.  The Zope Book didn't mention
this at all (except as a single line reference).  I would *never*
have gone looking for the word column.  Why? It's a field!

 Again, I think that it's a matter of understanding how ZSQL works,
 rather than a limitation of ZSQL.  If you have column name conflicts,
 you can always use something like:
 
 SELECT a.field as a_field, b.field as b_field FROM ...
 
 Then refer to them in dtml like dtml-a_field; or dtml-var
 name="a_field"

Right, but you still have to do extra work to get them back into a
ZSQL object.  column lets you do that.  It's got no examples to help
out with.  It's documented once.  I didn't see it.  Life is better
now.

  I still would love some examples.  Do people end up with 4 ZSQL
  objects per thing they manipulate in their database?:
  UPDATE, SELECT, INSERT and DELETE?  Or do they mix them somehow?
 
 I typically wind up with a ZSQL method for each of the CRUD operations. 
 Sometimes I have separate selects methods for more complex joins, if the
 DTML code gets too ugly when I try to combine them into a single method.

 
 Example of a fairly typical join statement (for MySQL database):
 
 Arguments-
 begin_date:date end_date:date="2037-01-01"
 
 SELECT search_string, search_result,  search_date, result_category,
 legal_category.name
 FROM search_log LEFT JOIN legal_category ON
 search_log.result_category=legal_category.code
 
 dtml-sqlgroup required where
   dtml-sqltest name="begin_date" op="gt" type="nb"
   column="search_date"
 dtml-and
   dtml-sqltest name="end_date" type="nb" op="lt"
   column="search_date" optional
 /dtml-sqlgroup

Hey!  An example!

 Good Luck

Thanks.  So I'm still having trouble.  I can't get any of the list
examples to work.

I build a select multiple list, and then try to dtml-in on it.  It
doesn't seem to work.  REQUEST shows in it th other and form
namespaces, as a list, but I can't actually dtml-var it or anything.

Example:
qdtml-var dalistp
br
dtml-in VirtualRootPhysicalPath
ddtml-var sequence-itemb
/dtml-in
hr
dtml-var REQUEST

If you call this with this URL (substitute as needed):

multiple

Then you get errors on dalist.  The examples at

 Reason: foo=0 is actually foo='0'. foo:int=0 should work like you want.

Same behaviour.  I opened a bug in the collector a while ago about
this:
http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector/2053/view

A related bug:
http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector/2045/view


 This is a function of your field naming convention more than anything.
 Granted you don't always have control over that. I am surprised that
 name="spam.eggs" doesn't work on sqltests (it works everywhere else).
 Are you explicitly saying name="..."? that could be the problem, bare
 quoting assumes expr="..." where periods are significant.

It works with sqltest, actually.  But since a lot of people have
examples of chaining the namespaces, this breaks that and adds more
work since you can't alias (via AS) to dotted names.

  Can I use them from a python script?  If not, what's the point?  I
  mean: External methods are nice to have when you have *no other
  choice*, but they aren't something I'd want to debug and deal with

 Python scripts are quite helpful for calling ZSQL methods. Just remember
 to pass REQUEST or the arguments explicitly.

Yeah, I like that, but it's still not perfect, and the docs are
incomplete and scattered.  We need a system to pull together like
documents at zope.org

Re: [Zope-dev] FTP interface being worked on?

2001-03-12 Thread The Doctor What

* Fred Wilson Horch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [010312 10:27]:
 Another serialized format that all Zope objects support is the XML
 interface, which exposes all the objects' guts.  With XML-RPC I
 envisioned being able to improve on the FTP interface by adding things
 like md5 checksums to determine if the local and remote objects are in
 synch.  I haven't looked too deeply, but presumably via XML you could
 support all of the management functionality that is currently provided
 by the HTML management interface.  So you could build a client with a
 rich feature set for managing Zope objects.

An idea might be to just impliment the rsync protocol, which does a
lot of this already.

 Hello,
 
 I'm trying to use the SiteAccess Product as discribed in the HowTo: Using 
 Apache with ZServer (NOT Zope.cgi). Unforunately things don't work as 
 described.
 
 My ZServer is listening on www.myserver.com:9080/somesite. I would like to 
 be able to access the ZServer through apache via the URL www.somesite.com

 The ProxyPass directives work well (the pages get served properly), but the

 img src="http://www.myserver.com:9080/somesite/images/some.gif" instead 
 of img src="http://www.somesite.com/images/some.gif". The same is true 
 for normal links. Ok, it's not so bad, things work (no broken links), but 
 it is a little bit ugly. I thought the SiteAccess Product should handle 
 these problems, by putting a SiteRoot object in the somesite folder.
 
 Or do I have to write an AccessRule ? And how would that look like ?
 
 Thanks a lot, regards, Leonardo Graf

It sounds like your SiteRoot object doesn't have "Base" (aka the
Base URL) set correctly.

It should be set to:
http://www.somesite.com

The SiteAccess Rule is only needed if you have *multiple* hosts
served out from one host.  You sound like you only have one.

 There are two files:
 /lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPResponse.py
 /lib/python/OFS/Application.py

 you get the HTTPResponse.py code for errors like:
 
 403: 'Forbidden',
 404: 'Not Found',
 405: 'Method Not Allowed',
 
 stuff like that.
 
 This error code is not parsed like normal dtml and so
 you can't simply replace it with: 
 
 """dtml-var standard_error_message"""
 
 I think this is because these are standard error codes
 that have to do with the web server and they must work
 even if the object database doesn't.
 
 There must be a more detailed reason why these errors
 aren't connected to the db, but someone else will have
 to answer that one. :)

Well I'm very tempted to start mucking in and letting it call an
'external' python method of some sort.  At the very least, I'd like
the page to be able to look up a list of 'words' and redirect to a
webpage if it matches

Like:
http://site.org/fish

It finds the keyword fish, and sees there is a legit URL:
http://site.org/software/beta/fish

And redirects it.

But that'd need t ZCatalog at least.

* Michael Bernstein ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [001214 01:06]:
 I read your access rule, and it seems like you've got it set
 up to ignore the gTLD, so that www.gerf.org and www.gerf.com
 etc. get routed to the same object automatically. Is that
 correct?

Yes.  I have several sites that use that feature, and none that
don't.  It's actually really handy, as it's one line in my
siteaccess rule vs. several in my apache config. :-)

Re: [Zope] Important Fix for Zope 2.2.x

 Thanks to Jeff Ragsdale, we've finally been able to kill a
 longstanding bug that allows POST requests to interfere with
 each other.  Symptoms include corrupted or aborted File and
 Image uploads, and stupid-log messages about
 "AttributeError: data" killing threads.
 
 The attached HTTPServer.py is valid for all Zope 2.2.x

 versions separately.

Will these be released as Hotfixes?  Or just new versions? Or is
this it?

[Zope] SiteAccess and Roles

2000-12-13 Thread The Doctor What

I have site access running, but I apparently don't fully grok roles.

I have a directory layout like so:

/ZopeRoot
  /site1
  /site2
  /site3
 /user_acl(2)
  /user_acl(1)

My site access rule is at:
http://linuxasm.gerf.org:9673/siteid/view_source
All the site[123] directories are SiteRooted and work fine.

If I add user as manager to user_acl(1) they have essentially 'root'
access.  They can do everything.

What do I have to do to give site3 to a specific user without giving
them access to everyone else?

I tried both Owner and Manager roles in user_acl(2) but it doesn't
work!

What am I doing wrong?

Ciao!

[Zope] Zope.Org: Not a good example...

2000-12-02 Thread The Doctor What

I've been looking around for examples of certain objects and such.
One simple example is a URL object.  Zope.Org *has* this object
(Link) and it is fairly nifty, even if it isn't documented (ie, it's
usage etc.) but I can't find the *source* for this object anywhere!

All I want is to be able to have a Link object on my Zope engine,
with possibly a minor change or two, but I can't find out where to
get it anyplace.

This isn't the only example.  I have software that I want to
distribute, but I can't get the source for the Software
Product/Distribution objects either!

I can get the source for DTML Documents, but it doesn't do much
good if they make extensive use of objects that I can't get the
source for.

I would like to enter a plea for *someone* at DC/Zope.Org to fix
this situation!

BTW: I have a better view_source DTML Method:

Re: [Zope] ZCatalog: setting default to AND (not OR).

2000-11-22 Thread The Doctor What

I'm sorry.  I seem to have not explained myself very well.

I want ZCatalog to use AND by default.  I think the extended
behaviour, being able to AND and OR keywords together is fine.  I'm
only concerned with the default behaviour (with *no* OR or AND
keywords).

When I first used zope.org's search engine, I couldn't figure out
why if searched for "zcatalog siteaccess" it gave me (seemingly)
every article on the site except the one(s) I wanted.

It's because I expected AND to be the default (the union) of the two
terms, not an OR list.  Frankly, I don't think OR is useful at all
by it self.  It's usually with an AND that it's most useful.

But that's just my humble opinion.  Oh wait, I don't do humbleso
that's just my opinion. ;-)

I wish everyone a happy holiday, whether it's Thanksgiving or
"Laborday/Thanksgiving" (as NPR said Japan was having).

Re: [Zope] SiteAcess (Debian Fix)

2000-11-17 Thread The Doctor What

The bug (number 76658) is listed on Debian's site:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=76658repeatmerged=yes

The fix (I had forgotten what it was) is stupidly simple:
mkdir /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/SiteAccess/help

A better fix is to fix ProductContext.py is lib/Python/App.  I have
an attached patch, but it doesn't seem like it's the right way to
fix it.

BTW: While you're making empty directories, you should probably
make:
/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/PlugIns/help

Because in the Debian package, it has the same problem.

 My browser (Netscape 4.74) happily cashes these images.
 
 It is not clear, why a "Last Modified" header should be a precondition
 for caching.
 
 I would expect it is only necessary, if you told your browser
 (or other cache) to verify freshness for each request.
 If the browser has a "Last Modified", it sends an
 "If-Modified-Since" header and get a 304 response,
 if not.

Ah, but you see, I have a caching proxy! Squid.  My netscape cache's
the images (ie, writes them to disk) but they are overwritten
everytime.  Since I connect via modem, I can watch them repopulate
slowly.

Even if Netscape does hold on to them without a caching proxy, we
couldn't rely on that behavior.

This problem makes 'icon' an undesireable object to use.

[Zope-dev] ZopeBug: No Last-Modified for misc_/.../*.gif objects!!!!

2000-11-15 Thread The Doctor What

I was looking at the cacheability of my website in zope, and saw
that the misc_/OFSP/*.gif images (as in the icon objects) are 
NOT cacheable because they don't return *any* date info.  If they
*at least* returned a Last Modified, they'd be cacheable.

I looked at the Zope Source and it looks like misc_.py just calls
ImageFile objects.  Why aren't the ImageFile objects setting these
header info bits correctly?   I'm not very knowledgable about Zope
inside, but this seems like it should be happening.

A side effect of fixing this problem would be that the manage
screens would suddenly work much faster since the icons would not
need to be reloaded EVERY time!!

Here is the HEAD info from two ImageFile objects.  The first is in
the folder images which has a SiteAccess object that forces the
Cache-Control object, a normal Image would not have the
Cache-Control line.  The second is a misc_.py object:

Re: [Zope-dev] PythonMethods: Can't Slice context.REQUEST.PARENTS

2000-11-11 Thread The Doctor What

Okay, I figured that bit of braindeadness out (I just use a range
that goes backwards, no .reverse() so everything is left as is.

Now here is my next problem.

Using context.REQUEST.PARENTS doesn't give me the DTML Document that
called me (so to speak).

I have:
/test/new/foo_html

My PARENTS shows Zope, Test, and New, but doesn't show foo_html.

Is this because my PythonMethod is Internal vs. External?  I didn't
see any descriptions of what the differences are.

The DTML Method version of my code can see the id/title of the
foo_html via 'id', 'title' and 'title_or_id', but under python I
just get:
self.title_or_id() -- Zope, the folder that my method lives at
m_self.title_or_id() -- Breadcrumbs (my method)
context.title_or_id() -- New, the folder foo_html lives at

And I have no idea what _ is for

Any help is appreciated.

Ciao!

[Zope-dev] PythonMethods: Can't Slice context.REQUEST.PARENTS

2000-11-10 Thread The Doctor What

I cannot slice context.REQUEST.PARENTS

The reason I want to do this is to travel up the URL tree for a
breadcrumb navigation do-hicky.

I want to slice it so I can make a copy because if I just do
...reverse() on it, I screw up everything afterwards.

It says I'm unauthorized (Guarded.py __careful_getattr__) so I
assume this is a feature.

I suppose I can just .reverse() it back again at the end, but it
seems.wrong some how.

Attached is my code at the moment...it sucks, I know.  This is
python project numero uno and zope project duo...

If anyone has a better example of how to hand text (I'm using buff
and returning it) back, I'd appreciate it.

I'm much to tired, so off I go to bed...


Ciao!

Re: [Zope] why DTML confusing

2000-11-10 Thread The Doctor What

* peter bengtson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [001110 10:40]:
 It's a give-and-take I think.
 I had the same confusion as you have right now, but after a while you learn
 this syntax pretty well.
 This is the same as with all syntax, and as soon as you have learned the
 basics the rest is easy and from then on a matter of learning how to use
 extensive functions and methods.

Considering that DTML is supossed to be for web/html writers, *not*
for programmers, I think that's not a good attitude to take.

I don't want web-writers having to figure out that to access a
variable, *that was being use a second ago with no extra syntax*
suddenly needs _[''] wrapped around it.  It doesn't make any sense
UNLESS you know what's going on underneith.

And since the whole attitude for Zope is, "do it right".  I'd say
this needs to be addressed at some point.

Ciao!

[Zope] still problems w/ SiteAccess 2.0.0b3

2000-11-09 Thread The Doctor What

I'm curious, you posted a message about SiteAccess.  I have the same
problem, with Debian (Zope 2.2.2 and I've tried SiteAccess 2.0.0b3
and b4).

It producing the same errors you have, but in addition, I have this
info from the stupid log file:
2000-11-09T20:09:18 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't install SiteAccess

I have no idea what's going on, and any help from you or the zope

I figured it out.  With a little help from my friends.  This product
is missing a 'help' directory.  I'm not sure if this is a debian
feature or not, but attached is a patch to let zope load it whether
the directory exists or not.

I basically wrapped a try around the part of the code that looks for
the help directory and files within it.  This is the file
App/ProductContext.py, btw.

I'll see about fixing SiteAccess (and Plugin, which has the same
problem) for Debian.

Ciao!

Re: [Zope] How do I logout?

 if i'm the superuser i just try to find a junk method (The QuickStart

What is a 'logout method._'?  Is that a "DTML Method" named logout?
Is the '_' a typo?  You mention method above, but I'm just making

[Zope] Zope Book (Error and Suggestion)

2000-11-08 Thread The Doctor What

At least I think it's an error (either in my understanding or in the
book).

First off, I think the books great. Finally something that's trying
to explain what's going on.  Zope looks so cool, but it's been hard
for a hardcode PHP and Perl programmer like me to get my brain around it.

Anyway, my suggestion is that all the image URLs be fixed so that
your book can be easily mirrored with normal web-tools.  Perhaps
even offer a version that's downloadable.  When I went to mirror it,
my mirror software choked on image urls like:
http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/SimpleExamples.html/Figures/5-7.png

The mirror was so I can use it at home where I don't have a
reasonable net access (very flaky 56k, it hoses up frequently as
it's through work).

The error or problem that I have run into is that I can't get the
Guest Book in chapter 5 to work.  They python method listed there
does not work for me.  I'm using Debian Unstable (Woody) with these
versions of packages:
ii  zope   2.2.2-3The Z Object Publishing Environment
ii  zope-bytecodeh 0.1.7-2Rewrite bytecode of functions to do unlikely
ii  zope-pythonmet 0.1.7-2Allows ZopeMethods to be written in plain Py

That's bytecodehacks and pythonmethods on the bottom there.

The error message is:
Error Type: NameError
Error Value: context

I have no idea how to fix this, so I'm asking here.

Ciao!
