Re: [ZWeb] the wikis is evil discussion
Thanks Martijn, all. We made some good progress. For clarity, I heard no arguments against me trying the below so right now I have this action and will report any results here asap.

[Zope] Sending XML straight down to a zope
I'm trying to send an XML straight into Zope without specifying it as
a parameter and with a Content-Length. It seems that Zope's mapply
function or whatever it's called digests the raw http body and tries
to turn it into parameters?
Here's the code on the Zope server (uploadExpenseXML()):
def uploadExpenseXML(self):
return str(self.REQUEST.form.keys())
Here's the dummy code that sends the XML into my Zope:
xml_content = open('validxmlfile.xml').read()
http = httplib.HTTP(localhost, 8080)
http.putrequest(POST, /uploadExpenseXML)
http.putheader(User-Agent, Simple)
http.putheader(Host, localhost)
http.putheader(Content-Length, %d % len(xml_content))
http.endheaders()
http.send(xml_content)
reply, message, headers = http.getreply()
print http.getfile().read()
The result I get is:
['?xml version']
If I debug the value of that single REQUEST.form variable, it starts like this:
'1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1 standalone=yes ?\nXMLExpense Version=1.0
Obviously, one solution would be to ask the XML sending company to not
post it like this but instead post it by parameter which I know will
work.
But, what if I can't change their minds?
PS. When faced with the same problem a long time ago I ended up
writing a mod_python app running one a different port that converted
the http post from mod_python into a parameter based http post. I
don't want to have to do that again.

[Zope] Re: Production Advice
Right now, I'm developing on a WinXP machine, and am considering SuSE 9.1 for my spec, any experiences, good or bad?... YAST2-installed or manually? Regardless of the Distribution I would say that any Linux which is still supported (I doubt that about Suse 9.1, though) is a good choice as long as you or the Admin in charge knows how to handle it. I would recommend to at least install Zope from Source. The Python 2.3.5 included in Debian Sarge works well - dunno about Suse 9.1, however I would suggest to install Python 2.3.5 from Source. It's fairly easy and straightforward...

[Zope] How can I store session data to db on login/logoff events ?
Hi All!
Sorry for my stupid question and my english:
I would like store some session data to db when the users log into my
zope system and when the session object will be deleted.
When the users log into the system the index_html script sets some data
to request.SESSION object.
I have a script called addScript that runs when an object is added to
transient data container.
In the addScript I try receive data with yyy =
container.SESSION.get('xxx') or item.get() but I cannot see the
keys.
How can I retrieve the user SESSION data when the items are created or
deleted from the transient object container?
Thank you in advance
Antal

Stock Zope can only handle POST request with XML payloads if they
conform to the XMLRPC spec: they must have the 'Content-type' header of
'text/xml', and the document must be encoded as an xmlrpc request.
If you can get the vendor to use a PUT request instead of a POST, you
could process the result inside a custom object'c 'PUT' method.
Otherwise, you are going to need to create a custom derivative of
ZPublisher.HTTPRequest, and override its 'processInputs' to handle the
vendor's non-standard dump. You could make that server listen on a
different port, for instance (I'm guessing you can tell them what URL to
POST to, right?)

[Zope] Help create filesystem skin with product
I'm having a problem which must have been solved many times before- trying to make a product that ships with a skin. I'm new to Zope development, been stumbling for a couple months with it. Ideally, the end user will unpack my product Q into a Products directory. They will be able to add a Q object to an existing CMF site, or create a QSite at their Zope2 root. If they create a QSite, my product should give it a QSkin during instantiation. I'm developing the QSkin (and the entire Q product) on the filesystem. Background: The product includes a subclass of CMFSite called a QSite. If the user creates a QSite, I'd like it to include a QSkin which the user can select from the portal_skins tool. The product is running on Zope 2.9.4, Five 1.4, CMF 2.0. It needs to work on Windows and Linux. (Would like to use Zope 2.10, Five 1.5 when someone compiles the win32 installer, so I don't have to worry about five:traversable directives! Already posted a request for that.) Customer requires that the product have no Plone dependencies. Product will require workflow, so it can have a CMF dependency. Could possibly implement on Zope 3, though I could not figure out basic workflow management on that platform, and would rather not re-implement something available on Zope2. Hurdles I've had so far in creating a skin: Using Five- seems to be the way to go. Started by trying browser:page browser:defaultView with QSite/IQSite- really didn't know what I was doing, and a helpful sould pointed out, that is what skins are for. Tried using zcml skin directive, broswer:layer, and browser:defaultSkin. I can create a skin in zcml, and adding /++skin++QSkin to the end of any URL causes the page to load. However it does not look like a QSkin- apparently acquisition finds items in portal_skins before it finds resources added by five. So if I use zcml to add a Logo.gif, it won't override a Logo.gif already on the CMF site, to see it I have to also add /++resource++Logo.gif I cannot use defaultSkin with CMF, because CMF already declares a defaultSkin. Its better if the user picks the skin from the portal_skins management interface, but skins and layers declared in zcml don't show up there. As for the old/tried-and-true way, can't use the ExampleFileSystemSkin or MinimalPloneSkin as a starting point, perhaps they use parts of Plone: cannot import name ContentFactoryMetadata. http://plonebook.packtpub.com/chapter6_preview.htm looks promising. Hurdles I've had so far installing the skin: Tried using container events (subscriber zcml) to call a hook when a QSite is created, presuming that I'd work skin magic on the new site object from within the event handler. Alas that is not the intended purpose of subscriber and while it may work in the future, events don't fire on CMFSite objects yet. Am I supposed to create a manage_afterAdd method in my QSite object, even though it's depreciated? Hmm, just tried creating that as a method of QSite and it doesn't get called either- what's the right way? Thanks for reading my rambling. ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
