Re: [Zope] with a variable
I want to read an zclass instances' properties. I want to make some dtml that can be passed the instances' id then give me the properties that I request. I was trying and it worked when I plugged the id striaght into it, but when I tried substituting that with a dynamic varible I couldn't get it to work. I have been trying some other approaches that maybe someone could tell me if I am on the right track or if there is some cumentaion that could help me out. I have been going through the list archives for hours! here is a my latest failed attempt! I know that I could use the Catalog, but it seems crazy to have to track everyvariable property of an object that I want to access. I am sure that this is a basic problem and would love some help with it. josh on ___ 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] updating the catalog - successfully!
I was having a lot of problems with keeping a catalog up to date when I manipulated data in an instance of a zclass (catalog aware). I was calling this, from a dtml file in the same folder as the instances, and one folder down from the Catalog: This just was not re-indexing the Catalog successfully at all. I checked the zope list and I think that a lot of people have had the same problem, including myself a few months back... All the answers suggest using: or even: So I just littered that all through my code in the vein hope that the Catalog would get the hint. But it was stubborn. The data would be altered, meanwhile the Catalog remained oblivious. The good news is that I have seemingly found a way to update my catalog by making a method of my zclass called update_dtml which I call when change the data of an instance. the method contains only one thing (of course): I call it from the dtml that manipulates the data of the instance (from a file in the same directory as the instances): The bad news is that I don't have a clear understanding of why this works. I guess that the is context sensitive and is a method of the zclass, so it needs to be called from there. Does this make sense ? If it does I think that it should be turned into a how to. or am I just being silly? josh on === write: [EMAIL PROTECTED] read: www.futurefarmers.com read: www.crd.rca.ac.co.uk/~josh interrupt (i love it): (415) 552 2124 = ___ 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] zcatalog, zclass instances
Hello, I am building a small community site. I am building the login/signup system. I have a problem with the creation of new users on signup. I have a users zclass which is catalog aware. I used the job board tutorial to set it up (thanks! very useful documentation) When I a user signs up I search the catalog for their username, because I want to keep that unique. here is the code: Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded _root.feedback=sorry+name+taken This page is passed the variable "username". This works to catch existing usernames most of the time. However, in a few cases it will miss the fact that the name matches an existing name and go ahead to the page: _root.feedback=success This code usually successfully adds a new user. However if the username is a duplicate (it shouldn't arrive at this page, but if it does) it will only successfully make a new zclass instance of the user if they are a single letter long Thus I get a user list that looks like this: max , yay , josh , mary , peter , john , ann , dog , cat , badger , fork , g , k , ww , u , u , u , u , u , b , u , erm , frog , erk , damn , erkf , this , bg , q , q , e , u , aname , j , j , j , j , j , j , j , j , j , j , amy , y , y , y So for single letter names the user signs up no matter whether someone else has that name or not. Which is not what I want. But the problem does not end their, else I would just not permit one letter name. For those who choose names of more than one letter, they may be told that they have successfulluy created a new user when they haven't. The times when this happens are usually if I haven't closed and opened the browser between sign-ups. However it happens seemingly randomly. I am calling all this code from a flash file in the same directory. I have the same thing working using zope and SQL no problem, but can't work it out with zcatalog. Unfortunately I need to! My first inuitions are that: 1: it has something to do with the pages being cached. 2: I am not updating the catalog properly, though I added the lines suggested in the job board tutorial to the add method of the zclass: Any hints will be appreciated... I think I may be reporting the same problem that is mentioned in: http://www.egroups.com/message/zope/44901 but I am not sure. thanks for your time josh on === write: [EMAIL PROTECTED] read: www.futurefarmers.com read: www.crd.rca.ac.co.uk/~josh interrupt (i love it): (415) 552 2124 = ___ 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] user permissions
I just installed 2.2 on win98. I log on as a superuser, and try and make a new folder an I get: >Zope Error > > Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. > > Error Type: SuperCannotOwn > Error Value: Objects cannot be owned by the superuser So I used to do that I thought. I tried to make a new acl user, but couldn't log in with that name password combo. I saw that webmaster asked this a couple of days ago, but I saw no answer. Am I being dumb and missing the obvious? Do I need to go and read some how to about users and permissions? any help would be great. josh on ___ 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] scared
I have reinstalled zope and zodb, and copied the data.fs across. It was about two days old. All the changes that I had made were gone. Luckily I made a backup of my app yesterday by exporting it. I must have a bad understanding of how this works. I had imagined that everytime I hit CHANGE, that the data.fs file would have been updated. When the computer crashed where were all my current changes? Is there a temp file I might be able to recover, as I am still missing quite a few hours work! The lesson that I have learnt is to back up regularly by exporting. Is this the right conclusion?

Thanks Chris, > As for your error, it looks like something bad happened when zope tried > to write to the log file. Did you do any funny configuration fro your > logging? What version of Zope are you using? I haven't changed anything to my knowledge. It did stop working after a crash though. Perhaps something is corrupted, I got a friend to test my site. He kept rightclicking and choosing "back", as quickly as he could and then it crashed... I think the page it crashed on had some .js in it... erk, I am using "Notes on Zope 2.0" oh gee I thought I was using 1.6! What version would you recommend installing?

[Zope] scared
when things happen that I have no understanding of their cause I get a little scared. I started up zope this morning, it seemed to open normally. (I am running zserver and zope on a win98 machine) However when I went to access the site through the web, the server would shut down. I have recently exported the app. that I was working on, which makes me happy but I need to get it back up and working asap. What information do I need to get the bottom of this? I don't know how to copy and paste from a dos window, so I will transcribe what I can see, hopefully someone can tell me where I might look next! (I have taken out all the directory structure from the filenames) File "...\ZServer\medusa\asyncore.py", line 321, in handle_error self.close() File "..\ZServer\HTTPServer.py", line 356, in close p.more() #free up resources held by producer File "..\ZServer\Producers.py", line 108, in more getattr(self.logger, self.method)(self.bytes) File "..\ZServer\medusa\http_server.py", line 275, in log, _ _ [%s] "%s" %d "%s" "%s"\n' % ( LOG STUFF ) ...

[Zope] compiling images
Hello, I have been trying to get a collaborative comic book buider made in zope and macromedia director. First I want to say that I have enjoyed working in the open source world of zope so much more than director. Whilst some parts of Director are well documented, others are positively hidden away... completely propritary it seems. Where as here there is a great will to share and distribute knowledge... anyhow that is by the by. (but really appreciated!) My problem is I can't find a good plug-in for Director that lets it export images from shockwave files. They are just 1bit images, so what I can do is export them as a string of 0s and 1s. Could I use zope or PYTHON to convert 25000 0s and 1s into an, er, a PNG file I guess it would have to be. note, I haven't ever written any python, though I here it is very lovely! I guess Director would send it via post to a zope page which would then process it and save a png file.

Re: [Zope] saving files to zope
Oh goodness, I fear that this isn't going to be anywhere near as easy as I might have hoped! Thanks for the good questions. > Its not quite clear to me what you want to do... > Which application/OS do you want to save it with? > what _exactly_ do you want? It is a macromedia director shockwave file, that exports a picture file to my server Zope, zserver on win98. The shockwave will be embedded in a webpage served on a page served by zope in fact it is already there: http://194.80.197.15:8080/sqladdaline/shockwave/index_dtml Hit the enter button and it saves a file! yeah right, hehe... I have it so that it is supposed to save a file "test.jpeg" hoping that it would just save into that directory. no luck... I am not sure whether the problem lies on the zope or Director side of things. The director file works locally but I have never had it work as a shockwave file. As for which of these protocols it would use, I am undure, the first I would guess. however it would have to happen behind the scenes, and I would then want to be able to refer to these files from zope. > - http multipart file upload? -> make yourself a file upload form (see zope > doc on how to do this) > > - ftp ? direct your ftp-client to port 8021 of you zope machine > > - http/webdav -> direct your webdav-client to port 8080 of your machine (if > you're using zserver, port 80 if apache) ok this sounds good too, perhaps this is what it is doing already? > - filesystem (samba) ? -> install product LocalFS and scan its > documentation. it lets you use files in the server's filesystem from zope.
