[Zope-dev] ZODB optimization

2000-09-19 Thread morten

I'm wondering, is the ZODB easily 'fragmented' or .. un-optimized ?
If so, are there any tools/functions that will 'unfragment' / optimize
it?

Does the 'pack database' in the Administration menu do this?  If so,
it could be a Good Thing (tm) to have separate optimize and packing
(history deletion etc.) functions (buttons).

Is there any way to make an object not keep history on itself or on
contained objects ?

As far as I can see, there isn't any generation of a message-id in the
MailHost product.

If you want to get a hold of the message-id, the right thing would
probably be to generate it yourself, and adding it in the header
field of the message you're sending..

I.e., something like this (untested):



To: 
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-ID: 



Although using a message-id generated from one of the python library
modules would be a better way of doing it..

HTH.

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to disable acqusition ?

That is, with a simple method, and not disabling the Acqusition class,
something like self.aq_disabled('attribute') .

[Zope-dev] Implementing a URL path resolver

2001-01-18 Thread morten

Hi guys,

I've been tinkling with a function that does what REQUEST.resolve_url does,
except without it relying on having a REQUEST instance available.

That is, just resolving the path itself, something like this:

path ÿstring.split(relative_url, '/')
path ÿfilter(None, path)
new_path ÿ'%s' % path[0]
path ÿpath[1:]

for element in path:

new_path ÿnew_path + "['%s']" % element

return eval("self%s" % new_path)

Now, neither []- or .-like evaluation of the path works..

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Morten

[Zope-dev] Permission problems

Hi guys,

I've been struggling with some permission problems, and I'd appreciate
some help...

Being that I don't know too much about permissions (yet!), solving
this issue is hard (and security _is_ hard); so I'll just point
you to the problem: 


http://www.zope.org/Members/morphex/AddressBook/address_book-1.0.0-permission_problems.tar.gz

Just read about the SecurityClass stuff in AccessControl, but can't
quite gripe that either.  Anyone care to enlighten a security newbie? :-)

Thanks,

Morten

[Zope-dev] Sessions, ConflictError and emails

2008-02-18 Thread morten
Hi,

I have a site which is based on Zope and Plone, where users can
shop around (shopping cart is stored in SESSION objects) and
a separate part of the site (backend, Plone) where newsletters
and such can be sent out.

I have a problem however with duplicate emails being sent out
to the subscribers, and this is most likely due to conflict
errors being raised..

The event.log file says:

2008-02-18T21:05:23 INFO ZPublisher.Conflict ConflictError at
/VirtualHostBase/http/www.site:80/VirtualHostRoot/levanger/plone/site_newsletter/nyhetsbrev-130208/testSendToMe:
database conflict error (oid 0x92aa, class BTrees._OOBTree.OOBTree, serial
this txn started with 0x0373d8eef99cf5bb 2008-02-18 21:02:58.503076, serial
currently committed 0x0373d8f1624479aa 2008-02-18 21:05:23.031441) (58
conflicts (0 unresolved) since startup at Thu Jan 24 17:34:08 2008)

Now, those errors aren't a big deal in themselves, but it
is a problem when the system sends out duplicate mail messages
to lots of visitors.

I've seen some blurbs about deferring sending emails until
the transaction has been completed, and I just discovered
zope.sendmail which is said to defer sending emails until
the transaction has succeeded.

Is zope.sendmail a good choice?  Will it work with Zope
2.9.8?

Thanks,

Morten

See http://www.zope.org/Members/paulabrams/howto_deleteundeadzclassprops
for help.

It is not a bug per se, Python (upon which ZOPE is based) is built this
way, i.e. if you create a class with certain attributes, every instance
will keep those attributes, even if they are deleted from the class
itself, and new instances that are instansiated from the now modified
class will not.

[Zope-dev] LoginManager and ZPatterns

2000-10-15 Thread Morten W. Petersen

I've been fiddling a bit with the LoginManager; but can't seem to make
it work.

The product versions are ZPatterns 0.3.0 and LoginManager 0.8.6.

(Downgraded the ZPatterns product because the LoginManager couldn't
find a class named .. SheetProviderContainer, I think).

When adding a LoginManager object, it raises a TypeError exception, on
line 313 in PlugIns.py, saying that a keyword parameter was redefined.

I've also been looking around for some useful documentation and searched
the mailing-lists..

Anyone had success with these two products, and would care to share a
howto?

Thanks in advance.

| "current object"?  You probably mean objects?

No, the current (containing) object.
 
| Couldn't you do that with getParentNode().id?

Then I'd get the parent of the current object, wouldn't I?

An example to elaborate:

ZOPE

tmp

folder_a
folder_b

item_a

Now, if I'm in the context of tmp, I'd like to have a method that will
return this list:

['tmp',
['folder_a',[]],
['folder_b',[
'item_a',[]]
        ]
]

Anyhow, I got a tip to read the ZDOM.py file.. thanks. =)

debug output (stdout when starting Zope from the command line).

[Zope-dev] Getting all objects matching a given meta_type and more

I've managed using the ZCatalog now.  However, I have a small problem:

When I instansiate a ZCatalog at the root of a tree, and search
for all objects matching a given meta-type, all the objects in
the entire tree are returned.

Is there a way to instruct the ZCatalog instance that it should only
return objects from within a certin part of the tree, without instansiating
a new ZCatalog instance in the given subtree?

I.e.:

Zope

Catalog (meta-type ZCatalog)

Folder1

Folder2

Object1 (meta-type test)

Folder3

Object2 (meta-type test)

Folder4

Object3 (meta-type test)

FolderA

FolderB

ObjectA (meta-type test)

FolderC

ObjectB (meta-type test)

FolderD

ObjectC (meta-type test)


Now, is there a way I can tell the ZCatalog instance at the root
folder to only return the objects mathing meta-type test in
thee FolderA folder?

Thanks in advance.

[Zope-dev] Segmentation fault when adding new objects

2000-11-07 Thread Morten W. Petersen

I'm having trouble with the adding of new objects;  specifically
it's adding of rfc822_address objects (contained within the
ZopeGUM distribution, http://www.zope.org/Members/morphex/ZopeGUM).

I haven't really got a clue what's wrong, have any of you?

Try hacking the BaseResponse, located in lib/python/ZPublisher.

Or maybe just override the RESPONSE class, and use RESPONSE.stdout ..

Found the problem.  There needs to be a method called user_names

for id in user_ids:

[Zope-dev] LoginManager and PTK

2000-12-21 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi guys,

I previously posted a couple of functions that enables users to
login at a lower level in the tree-structre than where the actual
user folder is.

I.e.,

a user could enter username and password at

/a

and get redirected to

/a/a/a/a/b

(the acl_users folder would be located in /a/a/a/a).

Now, there is a minor problem, because I can't seem to figure out
how to login the user to the actual context /a/a/a/a, except
maybe first redirecting the user to /a/a/a/a and then letting
the user log in from there..

Any thoughts / ideas?  And if you've got a completely different solution,
I'd be glad to hear it.  =)

Thanks.

Well, to try to explain the problem:

If I have 1.000.000 objects catalogued, all of the meta type
Person, and I want to find all the instances matching the
regexp-pattern '?Peter' on those objects' attribute
firstname, and the regexp-pattern '???ne' on that objects'

I.e., is there a need to get down on the C level to get
a reasonably fast search?

Am I making any sense?

It seems I misunderstood the term fuzzy logic myself.  Fuzzy logic means
if I search for a word, for example 'programmer', it will return matches
to the words 'program', 'programming','programmable' etc.

I.e., it will somewhat intelligently return words that are similar in
what they mean, using grammar rules (chopping off endings of words and
making them match others).

Hmm.

[Zope-dev] Calling HTMLFiles

2001-01-18 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi,

I'm having difficulties calling an HTML file from python..

Here's the code:

[...]
from events import conflicting_events

calendar_event_add_redirect = HTMLFile('calendar_event_add_redirect',
globals())
manage_add_calendar_event_form = HTMLFile('calendar_event_add', globals())
conflicting_events_dialogue = HTMLFile('calendar_event_conflicting_events_dialogue', 
globals())

# These two expand into seconds
expand_hour = lambda x: x * 60 * 60
expand_minute = lambda x: x * 60

def manage_add_calendar_event(self, title='', note='',
alarm=0, start=0, end=0,
priority=0, status=0,
REQUEST=None, RESPONSE=None):
"Add an instance of the calendar_event class."

new_id = str(self.get_unique_id())

if REQUEST:

alarm = expand_hour(REQUEST['alarm_hour']) + \
expand_minute(REQUEST['alarm_minute'])

start = expand_hour(REQUEST['start_hour']) + \
expand_minute(REQUEST['start_minute'])

end = expand_hour(REQUEST['end_hour']) + \
expand_minute(REQUEST['end_minute'])

title = REQUEST['title']
note = REQUEST['note']
priority = REQUEST['priority']
status = REQUEST['status']


conflicting_events_ = self.check_timespan(
self.getParentNode().getParentNode().id,
self.getParentNode().id, self.id,
start, end)

if conflicting_events_:

return conflicting_events_dialogue(self, REQUEST)
[...]

Now, if there are any conflicting events, the HTMLFile is returned, with
some parameters passed along.

What I'm wondering about is how can I pass the variables defined
in the REQUEST so that they can be looked up with dtml-code in
the conflicting_events_dialogue?

And doing it without raising KeyErrors on DTMLMethod that are
called from within the conflicting_events_dialogue?

Thanks.

[Zope-dev] AttributeError when adding ZClass product (PortalMembership)

2001-01-26 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi guys,

I have a problem with a product.  This product, let's call it product
SuperSecret, adds a number of folderish objects to the new instance
when it is created.  Now, if we name the SuperSecret product instance for
a, and the class instance that raises the AttributeError b, I
will show you what happens:

I am at the root folder of the Zope instace, and select the SuperSecret
entry from the Products list.  There I enter the relevant information,
and submit the form.  But then, the SuperProduct raises an exception
when the manage_add_some_class function tries to add the new b instance
to the a instance.  (No exception is raised when the offending line
which tries to access the Control_Panel via the b instance & acquisition
is commented out).

The manage method, which looks like this:

def manage_add_b(self, id, description, REQUEST=None):
"Add an instance of the b class."

self._setObject(id, b(id, description))
#get_transaction().commit()
Shared.utils.install_authentication_folder(self[id])

which calls an external function, which looks like this:

def install_authentication_folder(container):


container.Control_Panel.Products.PortalMembership.doInstall(folder=container, 
REQUEST={})

which raises an AttributeError that looks like this:

   Zope Error

   Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. 

   Error Type: AttributeError
   Error Value: Control_Panel

   [...]

      File /home/morten/Zope/lib/python/Products/rs/rs.py, line 56, in manage_add_a
      File /home/morten/Zope/lib/python/Products/SuperSecret/a.py, line 168, in 
__init__
(Object: CatalogAware)
      File /home/morten/Zope/lib/python/Products/SuperSecret/b.py, line 61, in 
manage_add_b
(Object: CatalogAware)
      File /home/morten/Zope/lib/python/Products/SuperSecret/Shared/utils.py, line 
211, in install_authentication_folder
(Object: CatalogAware)
  AttributeError: (see above)

Now, I guess this could be because the new instance isn't aware of it's
surroundings, but I've tried to manually commit the transaction (which
could help?), but obviously didn't...  =)

I guess it could be a solution to call a number of methods after the
product instance is added, but that's a bit too hackish for me.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Morten

[Zope-dev] How to avoid ConflictErrors ?

2001-01-28 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi zopers,

I'm having problems with a product I'm developing.  The product is part of the
ZopeGUM package, the GUM product.  If you have a look in gum.py in that
product, you can see a method named _retrieve_messages, which can at
times store enourmous amounts of objects and data in one transaction.

Now, if I access the GUM instance at the same time as this method is being
called, I may either get a ConflictError raised in the page, or in the
Zope debug output. 

I've read all the posts I could find regarding ConflictErrors, and they
mention that careful programming could help in avoiding these exceptions.
I'm assuming that this applies only to whenever two threads are trying
to *modify* the same object; and frankly, I can't see where I'm modifying
any objects, unless modifying one object, an rfc822_message instance in
a message_container instance also somehow modifies the message_container.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks & cheers,

Morten

[Zope-dev] LoginManager and ZPatterns

2001-01-29 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi fellow zopers,

I don't know if it's a bug or feature, but whenever I try
to access parental objects from a user object in python
code, I can't seem to find anything.

That is, whenever I call acl_users.getItem('user123').getParentNode()
(the acl_users is a LoginManager instance) it returns None.  But,
if it's called from DTML, with exactly the same expression, it returns
the containing object...

Could someone shed some light on this?

[Zope-dev] ZClasses vs. Python Products

2001-02-03 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi peeps,

I'm trying to figure out whether to continue work on
an existing ZClass product, or rewrite it from scratch.

I get a claustrophobic feeling working with ZClasses,
and using Python products is more intuitive to me..
I've also seen several people (including guys from DC)
refer to ZClass products as (paraphrasing) not-so-good
and half-baked..

Anyways, would you care to help me list the pros and cons
for ZClasses and Python products?

The greatest features of ZClasses are, AFAICS:

TTW editing, very good for interface designers
Rapid prototyping
Easiliy transferable products

(If you think there's anything missing from that very short
 list, please share your thoughts..)

And the greatest features of Python products is:

Full control of *everything*

Now, rapid prototyping in Python products can be achieved using
products like mkzprod[1].

And, if there could be some facility to edit all DTML and image files
related to a Python product TTW, (and maybe be able to 'subclass'
or override these on a per product instance basis), I can't see
any *good* reason to develop products with ZClasses.

[1] mkzprod: http://www.zope.org/Members/eenge/mk-zprod

Hoping for a good discussion..

Cheers,

Morten

BTW: I've basically made up my mind, and it'll be Python products.
If I can make the DTML and images editable TTW that is...

[Zope-dev] Creating IMAP and SMTP services for Zope

Hi guys,

I'm wondering about creating IMAP and SMTP services for Zope.
Someone mentioned to me that extending (using?) the ZServer

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: [Zope-dev] ThreadSafeCounter 0.0.1 released

2001-02-11 Thread Morten W. Petersen

[Chris Withers]

| So would a counter such as:
| 
| class PersistentCounter(Persistent):
| 
| # create the counter
| def __init__(self, value=0):
| self._value = value
| 
| # get the value of the counter without incrementing
| def getValue(self):
| return self._value
| 
| # increment the counter when called, and return the new value
| def __call__(self, number=1):
| self._value = self._value + number
| return self._value
| 
| ...not be thread safe?

I'm not sure whether the code above is thread safe or not.  ThreadSafeCounter was
made because

I don't know enough about Zope internals to determine whether
or not the counter would return unique values, nor do I
know enough about threads to be completely sure that it
would, every time.

File locking is a simple concept, and easy to understand.

As I've understood it, two threads serving requests have a copy each of the
database, and only when changes are committed are they reflected in
the database.  Therefore, two requests created at the same time could
get an identical copy and therefore and identical value.

..so, it basically boils down to the fact that it's simple to use file locking.

Cheers,

Morten

2001-02-12 Thread Morten W. Petersen

[Andy McKay]

| I released FSPoll recently and was going to combine the two into one
| FSCountThing with FSPoll and FSCounter subclassing of it, so maybe we could
| co-operate on ThreadSafeCounter and FSCounter?

The ideal solution would be to use an object that lives in the ZODB, I wonder
if there is a way to keep the 'object history' empty?  That is, keeping
the counter 'packed' while retaining 'object history' information on all other
objects.

In any case, I think it's possible to implement a file-locking module,
that locks the file using a .lock extension (writing the pid of the
locking process to that file) or something like that..  Which should
work on Linux and Windows (and most other OS')

Should I toss up a Wiki?

FileStorage type database was implicit, as we're discussing ZODB,

Sorry?  Didn't I say kernel version 2.4.0 or greater?  The 2GB problem

[Zope-dev] ConflictErrors and how to handle them

2001-02-19 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi guys,

I've been struggling with a problem, namely ConflictErrors.

At times, a long-running process may add 100, 1000, 1
objects to a single folder.  Under this process, several
ConflictErrors may be raised, but they are captured, and
the transaction committed again.  Problem solved.

However, the other side of the problem is that regular
requests, from other users, may be be aborted, and as a
result the user is presented with a Zope Error screen,
which says ConflictError.

If I've understood this correctly, it is because the
ZODB connection is hosed, and innocent reads trigger
ConflictErrors.

So, I'm wondering about turning up the number of Exceptions
each request may handle (it's 3 now, right?) and just
hope that the exception isn't raised more than 10-20
times.

Where can I increase the number of accepted exceptions
per request?

Any thoughts on the solution itself?

Cheers,

Morten

[Zope-dev] Storing lots of big objects in containers

2001-02-24 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi guys,

A product I'm currently developing has a rather big (in many
ways) problem.  A product instance may store many, (thousands)
of big objects, ranging from 1-50 MB in size.

Now, whenever the product instance is accessed, with say for
example 100 objects with a size of 2MB each, Zope slows down
to a crawl, and spends a lot of time loading (I assume) the
objects from the ZODB, even though only 10 objects are
actually accessed.

..I can't really use any external storages, as the reason for
bringing these objects into the ZODB was to structure them
and make then indexable by ZCatalog.  And there's probably
no time for ZPatterns.

Someone suggested using BTreeFolder, but the documentation
and examples for it are rather scarce.   Does anyone know
of products that make a good example use of BTreeFolder?

Would BTreeFolder work for this?  Are there better alternatives?

Thank you for your time,

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble making ZCatalog work.  The problem is that

[Zope-dev] ZCatalog hackery

2001-03-01 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi guys,

I've got a problem with ZCatalog.  I've got plenty of large
objects, ranging from 100KB to 100MB in size.  Needless to
say, these take up a lot of processor time when indexed by
the ZCatalog.

Now, these object have to be moved from time to time, only
moved, so that one or two of the related columns and indexes
are affected (the path and the parent container id); is
there a way to go around this so that those two, the
one column and the index are updated, and not, let's say
the indexed body (which is 100KB - 100MB in size) ?

Thanks,

Morten

I figured that out.  :-)

There is one problem, the uids stored in the Catalog are based on the path of the
object, so I guess I'll have to make a copy of the records, and then paste it in
under the new uid (path).

Will the new data be 'made ready for indexing' before it is compared to the

way before it compares it to what is already stored?

I'm wondering because it would be significant overhead to 'make a data field
of 100MBs into an index-like value' and then compare it to what already
exists in the ZCatalog.

[Zope-dev] Ensuring 'freshness' of dynamic pages (slightly offtopic)

2001-03-11 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi guys,

I've been trying to ensure that documents from a certain website are
always fresh, that is, every request for a new page must be validated
before the client sees it.

I've tried using these HTTP Cache-control directives:

no-cache
no-store
max-age (1)
must-revalidate

but no such luck.  If I for example specify 'Check against server: Never'
in IE, the pages are cached, no matter what.

Is it possible to ensure that pages are always fresh, even if it is
specified on the client side that the client should never try to
retrieve a 'fresher' page?

I've been contemplating a new solution, which is to append a string
like ?ensure_freshness=02349025180.12 (some random, unique id) on each
link, but that's not a thing which I wish to do now, at such a late
stage in the project.

Also, it strikes me that it isn't possible to specify multiple
cache-control directives with the current HTTPRequest implementation,
am I missing something here, or is this a bug / missing feature?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Morten

Code that looked like this:

Now has to be changed to this:

REQUEST.form['key_name1']
REQUEST.form['key_name2']

(The former method raises a KeyError.)

[Zope-dev] ZCatalog features

2001-04-28 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hia guys,

A couple of comments and questions about the ZCatalog:

Is it possible to pass an argument to the catalog so that returned brains
would instead be actual objects?

Given that we have to manually join search results, because ZCatalog
doesn't support ORs etc (for FieldIndexes), wouldn't it be useful to have
some sort of tool that could take a set of results, and return a result
with only unique values?

Cheers,

[Zope-dev] Non-undoable storage

2001-06-12 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hia guys,

during testing of a mail product I've discovered that the Data.fs file may
bloat considerably after storing 50 messages.  Packing the database will
reduce the Data.fs file to 20 MB (from 40 MB).  Another thing is that
storing 50 messages takes a *long time* on a 600Mhz 256 MB RAM system.

The thing that struck me was that transactions may cause a lot of
overhead, both in database size and for execution speed, so, the thing I'm
wondering about is if there exists a non-undoable storage, or something
similar that doesn't support transactions..

Another thing I noticed BTW, is that retrieving 500 messages and packing
the database on every 50th message (all messages retrieved during one
request) would lead to off the charts memory usage, the process ended up
using 700 MB of RAM (had to add swap files as the footprint grew!)

Cheers,

Morten

[Zope-dev] ZPL and GPL licensing issues

2001-06-20 Thread Morten W. Petersen

Hi there,

we @ thingamy are considering changing our license to a ZPL-ish one [1] to
better serve our clients' needs.  However, some of the (Zope) products
we've developed may need to rely on GPL'ed code, or needs to be
incorporated within it, and the 'obnoxious advertising clause'
seemingly puts a stop to it..

The ZPL is listed as a license incompatible with the GPL, but it doesn't
really say clearly what the reason is, as far as we can figure, it's
because of the advertising clause.

Anyways, I'm wondering if any of you have encountered the same issue
developing Zope products and any solutions towards it.

Some interesting articles, food for thought:

Yes, you can distribute a GPL-compatible licensed code with GPL
licensed code without licencing the former under GPL.  Take a look in the
Linux-kernel source tree for example.

And yes, it would be very interesting to see the underlying reason(s) for
the ZPL..
