I agree with Curtis about frames providing the wonderful ability to reload part of the page without reloading and redrawing the whole mess.

[Zope] why I don't use popen2 any more
In the for what it's worth department...
Using Linux (RH 6.2), Zope 2.2.2, Python 1.5.2
I wanted to run a unix command from my External Method that I wrote using
Python. Digging around in Zope archives and other sources, I came up with a
method that worked, of which this is a fragment:
import popen2
(r, w) = popen2.popen2('somecommand')
w.write(commandinput)
w.close()
s = r.read()
r.close()
However, this had the nasty side effect of leaving processes
around. I discovered one instance on the web of someone having this same
problem using Python but not Zope-related. No solution was given.
I *think* the really bad thing about these processes (called zombies?) is
that they may have certain resources, such as files, held open. And they
are said to stay around until the process that created them dies itself.
The fix seems to be easier than the original solution. Replace all of the
above with
import commands
s = commands.getoutput('echo ' + commandinput + ' | somecommand')
Presto, no more defunct processes. Hopefully a more stable Zope. Keen
observers will note the security risk if commandinput contains arbitrary
input from users. Wasn't true for me but it might be for you.
A curiosity: the description in Python Essential Reference says getoutput
uses os.popen2() to execute the command, but I was too lazy^H^H^H^H busy to
investigate further.

What Ethan says, however true it may be, is contrary to my experience. I worked on developing a site based on PTK for several months and was within a month of going live, but had problems I could not solve, either alone or with the help of the mailing lists. I contacted DC via email, explained what my problems were, and asked how to arrange for consulting time. That was 11 weeks ago, on 10 Sept 2000. The very next day I received an email from Gary Graham ([EMAIL PROTECTED], Director, Sales & Marketing) stating: "PTK is a 0.01 release and not commercially supported yet. Zope is commercially supported yet. Zope.org is the best PTK source at present until we are able to release a commercially supportable version." Of course, PTK wasn't a 0.01 release at that point, but the message was clear. That caused me to (a) look for a substitute not using Zope, of which I found nothing worth considering, and (b) expend an extra two months redeveloping the site, still using Zope but not using the PTK. This caused substantial lateness in the project launch as well as considerable additional expense. As you might imagine, I was none too pleased at not being able to obtain consulting in September. To hear that consulting really was available isn't about to make me any happier!

[Zope] Zope, squid, the Host header
The "How-To: Configuring Squid as an Accelerator for Zope"
(http://www.zope.org/Members/htrd/howto/squid) by htrd doesn't entirely
work for me and/or is over my head! My goal is to use Squid as an http
accelerator in front of zope (using zserver, no apache) on the same
machine. Secondary goal is to be able to access Zope directly also, but
this is much less important. An alternate How-To by itamar
(http://www.zope.org/Members/itamar/Squid) requires the use of SiteAccess,
which I would like to avoid.
Squid seems to be running OK (listening on port 8070, connecting to zope on
port 8080) but wrestling with zope about the Host header has not yet
produced a winner. Specifically, the How-To says:
"If you will be always be accessing this Zope server through the
accelerator then the easiest solution is to configure Zope to ignore the
value of this header. Specify HTTP_HOST=www.myhost.com as either a
command-line parameter to z2.py, or as an environment variable."
I translate this to mean I could set and then export an environment
variable that in my case would be HTTP_HOST=www.myhost.com:8070 since
that's where the server should appear to be to the browser client. For
whatever reason, this is not effective. I can tell because zope still works
fine directly on port 8080 (through port 8070 I get the requested document,
no images, and the baseref is still at port 8080). Inspection of
HTTPRequest.py shows that it does a
if have_env('HTTP_HOST'):
host = strip(environ['HTTP_HOST'])
hostname, port = splitport(host)
and sees www.myhost.com:8080. Specifying the HTTP_HOST= on the command line
has the same (non-) effect. I'd be pretty happy if I got either of those to
work. I'd be even happier if I got the following to work, also quoted from
the htrd How-To:
"A better solution is to get Squid to rewrite the header to the correct value:
1. Compile squid using --disable-internal-dns.
2. Add a mapping from the name of your public server to
the IP address of your Zope server in /etc/hosts
3. If you are running the Zope server on the same machine
as the accelerator then:
1. Change the http_port line in squid.conf to bind
only on the public network interface.
2. Use the -w switch to Z2.py to get Zope to bind to
different network interface (possibly a loopback interface).
Remember to change httpd_accel_host in squid.conf too.
(Thank you to Henrik Nordstrom for showing me that solution.)"
But I really don't understand this method...
1. OK, I know how to do the compile
2. /etc/hosts seem to map the other way, from the IP address
of whatever to a name and some aliases. Does this mean that
I should have a line 111.222.111.222 myhost.com myhost
or is something else implied.
3.1 meaning "http_port myhost.com:8070" ?
3.2 this means?
All help sincerely appreciated.

[Zope] overriding manage_beforeDelete in a CatalogAware Product
I think I need help in overriding the manage_beforeDelete method from
CatalogAware. Just to be sure I'm asking the right question, here's the
background:
I have a Product (in Python, not TTW) whose instances get cataloged in a
separate ZCatalog called CommentCatalog. My product's class inherits from
CatalogAware and other classes and can successfully index itself by calling
thusly in the __init__ routine:
self.manage_editCataloger('CommentCatalog')
self.index_object()
Reindex also works just fine.
But I'm confused about how to get rid of the index entry upon delete. I
think I need to set the catalog name and then call the inherited
manage_beforeDelete routine. So I tried this:
def manage_beforeDelete(self, item, container):
"Be sure we unindex ourselves from our special catalog"
self.manage_editCataloger('CommentCatalog')
self.CatalogAware.manage_beforeDelete(item, container)
Not too surprisingly, the code throws an "AttributeError: CatalogAware"
into the Stupid Log File and doesn't remove the object from CommentCatalog.
Of course I don't understand what the correct incantation is, so I'm
appealing for guidance.

[Zope] fmt=structured-text seems wrongish
Not to throw stones, just trying to understand. WRT It makes sense to me to use "fmt=something" when the something is an instruction on how to format a number or how to format the time. In those cases, I'm simply saying how I want the number or time to appear. But when I say "fmt=structured-text" then I'm saying how the item is stored. Let's say that I've developed a Python product that contains description and now I've made an instance of it as myDoc. Within my site (application), I can ask that description be rendered this way... By doing so, I'm telling Zope that whatever it finds in myDoc.description should be interpreted according to structured text rules from markup contained within myDoc.description itself. Now how does my application know that the myDoc object has structured text stored in description? Shouldn't the object itself know that? And shouldn't the fmt specification tell how myDoc.description is to be presented instead of how it is stored? For example, let's say I can choose to store description as plain text, as structured text, or as html. Regardless of how it is stored, I might want to ask for it as: fmt=raw in case I want to edit it fmt=html in case I want to send it to a browser and so on. Here, raw and html don't describe how to interpret the contents of myDoc.description, just how to give it back. Pointers? I guess I can just fix this within my own product(s) by returning various fields in a manner something like this: Stored as STX, return as HTML return str(StructuredText.HTML(self.description)) Stored as STX, return as raw, or stored as HTML, return as HTML return self.description and so on... -- Dennis Nichols [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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] BTreeFolder (easy?) questions
1. Can I blithely use BTreeFolder in place of Folder without loss of functionality? 2. Can I successfully inherit from BTreeFolder in ZClasses (assuming that I uncomment registerBaseClass, which has been commented out in all BTreeFolder versions so far)? -- Dennis Nichols [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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] Site Access and UserFolders in love?
Since the standard root User Folder seems to hate being replaced by other
much-needed-by-me types of UserFolders, I wondered if this would work well
(using only ZServer) ...
1. Use SiteAccess to map mysite.com/ to mysite.com/my/ for all users and
sub-managers.
2. Put a {MySQL,etc,smb,...}UserFolder in /my for all users and sub-managers.
3. Use SiteAccess to map big-guy.mysite.com to mysite.com/ for the site
manager.
4. Use the standard root UserFolder only for the site manager login
(index_html could redirect any errant users).
This would seem to keep those "other" UserFolders out of the root and allow
the site manager to easily get at the manage views in the root.
I'm sorry to ask, but I've found that it takes me a long time to work
through setting up and trying such things, and then not always knowing if
it is sound or if I'll find the fatal flaw tomorrow.
Anybody tried this? Or have an opinion on its soundness?

Even in HTML, the indents and newlines count by showing up as a space before the '-' in the above example. You can fix this with good readability simply by "delaying" the closing '>'.

[Zope] Indirection, acquisition, asphyxiation
I'm having trouble using the value of a property to determine which object to render (Zope 2.2.1, if it makes any difference). Starting from the beginning, let's say I have two folders A and B with four DTML methods (Nilo, Alpha, Smalpha, and Bravo): / Nilo /A Alpha Smalpha /B Bravo From Alpha, I can render Nilo, Smalpha, and Bravo by using this dtml: (or ) (or ) (not !) OK, now I want a property of folder A, call it 'choice', to determine what should be rendered by Alpha. So I rewrite Alpha to include: either or These work nicely if I set 'choice' to 'Nilo' or 'Smalpha' but I don't see how to make either one work for Bravo! Setting 'choice' to 'B.Bravo' gives me: Error Type: KeyError Error Value: B.Bravo How do I get this to work for Bravo (and still keep it working for the other cases)? Clearly my zen needs some tending to. -- Dennis Nichols [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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's learning curve can be _very_ steep (depending on one's experience), but every day that I work with it, I am amazed at what can be accomplished and how it can be extended. As a counter example, I've used PHP since it was PHP/FI and found it an order of magnitude easier to learn. But it would take me forever to use PHP to publish content the way I can with Zope.
