ANNOUCE: Project Gideon
by kapil thangavelu 07 May '02

Project Gideon is an application framework for zope. It was originally created to build a CPAN repository for python in zope. The Gideon project is still young and experimental in stability, but i hope that the ideas and implementation will still be of use to other zope developers. Gideon is released under the GPL. It can be downloaded from http://www.zope.org/Members/k_vertigo/Products/Gideon it has no external dependencies other than Zope (possibly requiring *nix as well) Lots of work is still needed to finish and improve both the Python Repository and Gideon. If you'd like to help, please contact me at kvthan(a)wm.edu developers, ui designers, and testers needed! Core Features - Application Model provides a lookup model, allowing for nested applications and service providers. - Event Channel A publish/subscribe event model, with support for pull and push event models (pull model supported via an event queue). - Page Contract Input Validation. allows for filters and transformers to be applied in a pipelined fashion to input. useable from DTML, PythonScripts, and PythonProducts. - BTree UserFolder 'nough said. - User Directory Storage for UserWorkpaces, providing an api for retrieval and search of workspaces - User Workspaces Provides a users data container. along with a plugin api for applications to register workspace collaborators. - Groups (Experimental) an api object layer over local roles, to provide for group membership and permission management. - Scheduling System (Experimental) a thread scheduler for zope - BulkTxnMailer (Experimental) a mailhost that sends email to the fs for queued delivery at the completion of a transaction. - Object Linking Service (Experimental) Dynamically updated object path based references - Catalog Utils utilities for use with zcatalog, Catalog Schemas, CacheQueries, and Distributed Queries. Content Features - RSS/OCS News Feeds - Subscriptions A subscription system built on top of the event channel, that allows users to subscribe directly to event channel events. provides for queued delivery of events. - WebServices Trader A ORB/Trader for abstraction of protocol handling and implementation for HTTP RPC protocols. - Tracker (Experimental) A simple bug tracker. The implementation utilizes a property schema that combines some of the features of page contract and catalog schemas for generic handling of issues independent of their defined schema. - Calendar Storage most of the core features will be available separately as well (some such as the EventChannel, and PageContract already are.) cheers kapil thangavelu

[Ann] VHM RemoteAddr patch
by Dieter Maurer 07 May '02

07 May '02

VirtualHostMonster, or short VHM, is usually used together with Apache's rewrite rules and proxy mode to implement virtual hosting. Unfortunately, when used in this way, Zope's REMOTE_ADDR is the (usually uninteresting) IP address of the Apache server and not the one of the browser/its proxy. There is an Apache patch that passes this IP address via an VIA header, but this is against the HTTP 1.1 spec. This VHM patch enables VHM to take the remote address from the URL. If the URL segments following the VirtualHostBase/protocol/host are VirtualHostRemoteAddr/remote_addr, then VHM sets Zope's REMOTE_ADDR to remote_addr. This feature is used together with Apache rewrite rules of the form: RewriteRule pattern http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/proto/host/VirtualHostRemoteAddr/%{RE… [P].

StartupScripts 0.9.0 Released
by grahamd＠dscpl.com.au 02 May '02

02 May '02

The StartupScripts product provides a way of having Python scripts in the ZODB run when Zope first starts up. This is an initial release for the purpose of having it more widely tested in practical situations. Feedback would be much appreciated, especially as to whether there might be a better way of doing things such as getting access to the application context when required by the implementation. Note that instances of the Python startup scripts need to be placed in the root folder in order for them to get run at Zope startup. When run the scripts will be run with the privileges of the script owner. The internal implementation of the StartupScript object is such that it extends the PythonScript object, so anything you can do with a normal Python script you can also do with a StartupScript object. The only exception to this may be that the "container" object passed to a script may not have all the same methods and attributes which are present when a script object is called through the web. Ie., no RESPONSE object, and no way of getting the URL associated with the request. -- Graham Dumpleton (grahamd(a)dscpl.com.au)

New release of My Media Manager
by Gitte Wange 01 May '02

01 May '02

Last release before 1.0 will hit the streets !!! Very close to a version 1.0 of My Media Manager, we are releasing the last beta version before releasing the final version. There has been no API changes, but a lot of bugs has been fixed and the templates have been improved a lot. Even though we are calling this a development release, it should work just fine. There won't be any changes between this release and 1.0 final if no bugs turn up. Download it from http://www.zope.org/Members/gittew/MyMediaManager Greetings, Gitte Wange
