Zope does a so called double-reverse lookup to make sure one can
unduptfully reresolve the hostname to its ip-address again.
It asks first for the name to the ip-address. Then it asks for
the ip-address to this name.
The question is, where did you change the name? In DNS you have
to change it in both databases.

There was a bug in sql-methods returning subobjects without giving them
the proper access rights. This was due to a change in the security
mechanism
on 2.2.x. The default policy is now: disallow everything as log as its
not
explicitely permittet.
I would suggest to look for the patch on sql-methods or simply upgrade
to
the latest 2.2.1 where this (and much more) has already been fixed.

Ah yes. But then, you throw all the advantages of aquisition away.
I would suggest to at least copy the template only on request,
if changes are really made. The 'web designers' should have the
opportunity to delete this template to derive their design from the
previus folder. This way you would not have all the templates laying
around in every subfolder and making changes very very hard. 
An yes, this is understandable even by the underenlighted web designer

[Zope] Who wants to do a decent ZCatalog Query Language?

Same here :-(

I wonder if there's a standard search language/interface that ZCatalog
could implement?

I wonder if anyone could do it and then open source it? DC?
If not, I wonder whether something like Cosource.com couldn't be
leveraged to cough up funds so someone like Dieter, who has a lot of
experience with the Catalog, could dedicate the the time to do it and
make everyone happy?

Here's hoping...

AFAIK, ZEO doesn't currently have a distributed storage system, so
anything other than a static mirror is still going to share a point of
failure with Zope.org...

That said, threads on the lists suggest that Zope sucks when you try to
mirror it statically :(

What to do? ;-)

It might not be interesting, but what I would really like is a
complete mirror of documentation and products up and running all the
time.  That could be done statically, even without Zope if it sucks
that much.  (Although, I can't see why it would in such a situation.)

If you're not using the mountedclientstorage or trying to serve more

[Zope] PCGI not working --isolated cause!

2000-09-02 Thread Bill Anderson

OK, after being much frustrated with PCGI/ZServer
(I run ZServer, and talk to it both direct to port (management), and from Roxen 
through PCGI), not working. I found the
'problem'.


This works:
=
#! /bin/sh
reldir=`dirname $0`
PYTHONHOME=`cd $reldir; pwd`
export PYTHONHOME
exec /usr/bin/python \
 $PYTHONHOME/z2-2.2.py \
 -m '' -f '' -w6001 -d 127.0.0.1


This Does not:

#! /bin/sh
reldir=`dirname $0`
PYTHONHOME=`cd $reldir; pwd`
export PYTHONHOME
exec /usr/bin/python \
 $PYTHONHOME/z2-2.2.py \
 -X -w6001 -d 127.0.0.1
==

The difference is in the port options passed to z2.py. If you use the new -X, it shuts 
of pcgi. If you use the old -m ''
-f '' (fo ronly running web), it works.

[Zope] How to access id and title of document calling standard_html_header

2000-09-02 Thread Tim Hicks

For those of you who saw my posts from a couple of days ago (Dieter
Maurer and Geir Bfkholt), this is the question that I think I should
have been asking in the first place.

I have a standard_html_header that is inserted into Zclasses.  These
Zclasses have properties including meta_author, meta_description etc
(I don't think it is important what they are, just that they are
properties that standard_html_header does not have).  In the
standard_html_header, I use code such as  and
.  This works fine and the properties of
the *zclass* are inserted.  However, if I put  into the
standard_html_header, I get the id of standard_html_header, *not* of
the zclass.  How do I tell zope to which item I am refering (bearing
in mind, I don't know the name of the zclass ie it is variable)?

Cheers

tim

ps. As a workaround, I have simply given my zclasses an alternative
property (counter_id) that I make the same as the real id, but this
seems to be a clumsy way of doing it.

Make your standard_html_header a DTML Method not a Document. Methods
operate on their containers. Documents operate on themselves. The
Document is acquiring the ZClass properties after looking through its
own. The Method looks for the properties of its containers.

[Zope] Ad banners in Zope anyone ?

2000-09-02 Thread Jason Cunliffe

Hello

I am glad to see any new web site anoncements using Zope.
For example the new Malaysian news service at http://www.emedia.com.my/

Out of curiosity I checked to see how they handled their ad banners:


It looks like this is perhaps some instant cut-and-paste of exsiting PHP
tools tacked onto the Zope Server.
If it ain't broke don't fix it..and DTML aint pretty we know..

- Can one run PHP from inside of Zserver/ZODB easily?
- How would to do that?
- Is anyone using Zope for Ad Banner services??
- What would would make it a good or bad choice?

thanks
Jason

It is a method already!  Any ideas.  If it makes any difference, I'm
running Zope 2.2.0 (although I really don't think this is important).

[Zope] ANN: NewsCenter0.1.0

2000-09-02 Thread Kapil Thangavelu



available @

http://www.zope.org/Members/k_vertigo/ZopeProducts/NewsCenter

from the README

Current Status:
- I've realized that Zope sites tend to keep user info in a variety of
formats, so rather than reduplicating that info within NewsCenter, I've
implemented a hook

get_syndicated_content(channel_ids, lastdate=None) 

which will retrieve all the items of a channel that are newer than
lastdate. if lastdate is none it retrieves all items from the last 24
hrs. this hook can be used to build
syndicated content in the form of user pages and emails.

- NewsCenter supports aggregate channels in the ocs format.
- NewsCenter support searching of channels.
- NewsCenter supports channels in the RSS format version (0.9-1.0)
- i've imported over 1965 channels using ocs files from 

http://www.xmltree.com/export/ocs.cfm
and
http://www.moreover.com/categories/ocs/ocsdirectory.rdf



from the CHANGES file

version 0.1.0 The Birthday Boy Release
- THIS RELEASE IS NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE
- This release has been tested on zope 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 on linux
  if there are any problems running it on windows please let me know
([EMAIL PROTECTED])

- Channel.py has undergone massive changes
  - no longer uses XMLDocument, hence XMLDoc. is not required
  - implements syndicated content hook
  - supports all RSS versions (0.9-1.0)
  - no longer registered as a top level class
  - implements image tags of RSS (only for v.91+)
  - no longer causes ZCatalog to throw spurious errors on intial
update()
  - renamed to remove references to rss 
  
- NewsCenter.py 
  - ocs channels maybe added from filesystem.
  - returns elasped time on most actions of management view- channels
tab.
  - implements syndicated content hook (see README for more info)
  - minor changes to management interface to support 1K+ channels
  - internal storage renamed to remove references to rss

- The product is now released under one license the LGPL
- total channel count i've gotten is up to 1965 (albeit with some
duplication).




Cheers,

Kapil

this a temporary measure until we got a "real(?)" banner ad system.  at the
time of development, there was no banner ad system in zope that can furnish
us some stats that we can give to advertisers.  although later there was
banner system (a zope product), we just got stuck with phpads.

we have now real media installed, and will be replacing phpads with it.

my take:
sales dept and upper management needed a proven system that can give
advertisers assurance that advertisers got what they asked for.  and banner
system, though a good product, can't give us what real media can; in terms
of stats and other stuff.  so, we forked some dough to get some dough in :)

but i'm still looking at banner system.

[Zope] Generic workflow

2000-09-02 Thread administrator

As I saw during the last days
there is a big interest for generic workflow.
There is an open source project called
wftk: Open-source workflow toolkit
(http://www.vivtek.com/wftk). Currently it's
Tcl/C based with XML as description language.
Maybe we could pull together our resources
and finish it on a Zope/Python platform.
I already contact the developer and waiting
for a response.
