[Zope-dev] ZMI textareas on Windows IE6 are '100%+' wide, cause scrolling inconvenience
On my Zope 2.5.0 running on WindowsXP/IE6, the ZMI's textarea boxes, for things like editing PageTemplates, becomes too wide for the frame when the vertical scrollbar is required, causing an inconvenient side-scrolling behavior. The frame must be scrolled sideways to view the text areas's scrollbars, which then obsures the far left of the textarea. This is the code in question (for a PT edit page, there are many others) Expand macros when editing Would it not help to make the textarea and div width 90% or so to account for the potential width of the side-scroll bar on the right-hand ZMI frame? Or even better, this could become a preference setting, since some users will have very narrow scrollbars or extreme vertical resolutions. After all, there is a cols/rows insertion right next to it, perhaps a new preference setting is easy enough to add... ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
[Zope-dev] RELEASED - StandaloneZODB 1.0 final
I'm please to announce the release of StandaloneZODB, the Python object persistency system also known as the Z Object Database. ZODB is the object-oriented database underlying Zope; the StandaloneZODB project's goal is to provide those same facilities to non-Zope related Python applications. Today we are releasing StandaloneZODB 1.0 final. A brief description of the changes since release candidate 1 is outlined below. StandaloneZODB is based on the same code as the ZODB in Zope, albeit on a separate release branch. Its inspiration comes from Andrew Kuchling's StandaloneZODB project on SourceForge. While there are still some differences, the Standalone 1.0 release is the first on the path toward convergence. Subsequent releases should complete the merge of Andrew's and Zope Corporation's packages. The StandaloneZODB release includes the following components: - Core ZODB, including the persistence machinery - Standard storages such as FileStorage - Supporting modules such as ExtensionClass - The persistent BTrees modules - ZEO - Experimental Berkeley storages - Some documentation See the README file for details on building and installing StandaloneZODB. For details on using ZODB, see Andrew's included user guide. StandaloneZODB 1.0 is released under the ZPL 2.0. It should be compatible with all Python versions from Python 2.1 to Python 2.2. It may or may not work with versions earlier than Python 2.1. Download StandaloneZODB-1.0 from: http://www.zope.org/Products/StandaloneZODB and visit the StandaloneZODB Wiki page at: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/StandaloneZODB See also: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/FrontPage for more information about our long-range ZODB plans. Enjoy, -Barry Barry A. Warsaw Zope Corporation, Pythonlabs [EMAIL PROTECTED] snip snip What's new in StandaloneZODB 1.0 final? Release date: 08-Feb-2002 === All copyright notices have been updated to reflect the fact that the ZPL 2.0 covers this release. Added a cleanroom PersistentList.py implementation, which multiply inherits from UserDict and Persistent. Some improvements in setup.py and test.py for sites that don't have the Berkeley libraries installed. A new program, zeoup.py was added which simply verifies that a ZEO server is reachable. Also, a new program zeopack.py was added which connects to a ZEO server and packs it. ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

No, but it *is* actively rereading the external method when the timestamp on the source file changes (assuming you are running in -D mode). Zope has no way to notice changes to the imported module source files, so it doesn't know to reread things when they change. --RDM ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

dtml-in will accept four differen formats: a list of objects with
attributes, a list of values, a list of dicts, or a list of pairs.
A list of objects is the most common case, and you get access to the
attributes by name inside the loop. A list of values can only
be accessed using , which gives you access
to each item in the list in turn. For a list of dicts you want
to specify the 'mapping' keyword on dtml-in, in which case the
keys of each dict can be used in dtml-var statements. I'm not
100% sure what the list of pairs does, but I think one of the
two items in the pair goes into sequence-key and the other into
sequence-item.

If you make the right security declarations you can probably access
a class variable from dtml. What might be easier, though, is to
use the binding feature of DTMLFile to make the list available
when the method is called, via pre-declaration in your Product:
[code that defines your class, including the class variable listOfMethods]
yourAddMethod = DTMLFile('dtml/addForm',globals(),
listOfMethod = yourclass.listOfMethods)
I'm not 100% sure this is going to solve your problem, but I've some
some stuff along these lines successfully, so it might.

Re: [Zope-dev] 2.5.0 locale problems
Hi, You shouldn't be messing with locale in a Zope product. In a threaded Python app, setting locale affects all threads, and there are a number of parts in Zope which depend on correct locale information. You should respect whatever locale was set in Zope initialization (by environment vars or thru the -L parameter) Why do you want to change the locale anyway?

The manage_beforeDelete() and manage_afterAdd() events are propagated to subfolders, meaning that a whole lot of objects have to wake up every time you add or remove something. Or it might be manage_afterClone() being called, which is very similar. You could add a temporary print statement to ObjectManager.manage_after* to see just how often the methods are getting called. The solution? Event management. Make objects register to receive events.

For one thing, where are the calls to BaseRequest.traverse() in the ZPT test? Also, the info seems to suggest that ZPT took 7.810 seconds (total) to pt_render(), while DTML took 0.640 seconds (total) to __call__(), but there's no suggestion as to why. Shane > > 1.

This is indeed very interesting. I also had an impression that ZPT was sometimes evaluating things that it did not need to in the presence of conditional tags. How does the timing compare with a Script Python and with an external method on your machine? (Yes, I understand they are very different from ZPT and dtml, but I think this might be useful information for a Zope architect. And this would give a common baseline.)

zope manages them for you. you get a commit() at the end of the page and
a rollback() in case of an uncatched exception. if you want to do
transaction management yourself, create your own connection/cursor in an
external method.
