bvuongSince I'm kinda new on zope, Anyone know where I can learn the basics? Either in the "Web Component Development with Zope3" Book, or on a site05:02
th1a_bvuong: that book is probably the best place to start.05:02
bvuongthla_: Do you know which chapter to start on? I'm really confused on where to start.05:03
*** th1a has quit IRC05:03
*** th1a_ is now known as th1a05:04
th1aUm... I guess that's a bad sign.05:04
bvuongwait, so what should I do? Any chapters you recomend to look at first to get a good insight?05:05
th1aI don't have any particular insight.05:06
bvuongoh, ok05:06
th1abvuong: You might have a look at http://grok.zope.org05:07
*** pcardune has quit IRC05:07
*** pcardune has joined #schooltool05:08
bvuongthla: Thanks, I just viewed the site. So, you think I should download the grok module and write apps using it?05:11
th1abvuong: What's you ultimate goal?05:22
bvuongnot sure right now. All I need to do now is learn zope05:22
th1aI think it is a good place to start.05:22
th1aConsidering most other places you try to start will lead you to throw your hands up in frustration.05:23
bvuongyou mean learning grok05:23
th1aStarting with grok is probably a good idea.05:23
bvuongok, thanks05:24
bvuongjust wandering though, I downloaded the grok module, but when I run setup.py, I get: error: can't create or remove files in install directory05:24
bvuongThe following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the05:24
bvuonginstallation directory:05:24
bvuong    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/test-easy-install-29127.write-test'05:24
bvuongThe installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or05:24
bvuongthe distutils default setting) was:05:24
bvuong    /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/05:24
bvuongPerhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the05:25
bvuonginstallation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in05:25
bvuongas the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative05:25
bvuongaccess to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation05:25
bvuongdirectory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment05:25
bvuongvariable.05:25
bvuongFor information on other options, you may wish to consult the05:25
bvuongdocumentation at:05:25
bvuong  http://peak.telecommunity.com/EasyInstall.html05:25
bvuongPlease make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.05:25
th1abvuong: Try using 'sudo'05:25
bvuongI'm not on the sudoers list though05:25
th1aAh... then you need to tell distutils to use a directory that you have access to.05:28
th1aAs that message tells you.05:28
bvuongis there a directory that I can access?05:34
bvuongmost packages require sudo05:34
th1ayou just need to do something like easy_install --prefix=~/grok grokproject05:35
th1aI'm guessing.05:36
bvuongI just typed the command, but I got the same error as before05:37
th1aYou need to make the directory you're using for the prefix.05:39
bvuongI made the grok directory, but I still got the same error05:41
th1abvuong: Hm... I don't know.05:49
th1aI've got to log out.05:49
th1aGood luck.05:49

AVN_awayth1a, you should have told bvuong to chmod the directory06:05
th1ahuh.06:05
th1aWhy?06:05
AVN_awayI would think that would solve the problem06:05
th1aWhat permission?06:05
AVN_awayi would temporarially do 777 till the program is installed, to make sure it works06:06
AVN_awaythen put it back afterwareds06:07

Lumieret3h_sood: not ours22:55
th1aLumiere: ?22:55
Lumierewe think your evolve scripts may be broken :)22:55

Lumierehappy birthday22:55

Lumierebut you may be getting a paste of doom22:56
th1aLumiere: Our 'presents' are broken evolve scripts?22:56
th1aI'm confused.22:56

th1aLumiere: That there are bugs in evolve scripts is not surprising.22:59
t3h_soodfilip-ip-ip-ip....22:59
Lumiereic22:59
th1aIn fact, I'd assume they were buggy until someone tries them and tells us what breaks.22:59
th1aWe've discussed a testing framework for evolution, but it just seemed too crazy.23:00
Lumiereyou should test them23:00
Lumierebut I will send you tracebacks23:00

mgedminfun traceback, Lumiere23:20
mgedmindid someone convert JournalEntry from a non-container into a container?23:21
mgedminI'd say the fix is to find the JournalEntry class definition and add '_SampleContainer__data = {} # BBB: ZODB backwards compatibility' there23:22
eldarmgedmin, yeah we are fixing our evolve script23:22
mgedminor, better, instead of {} use something that is immutable and has a values() that returns an empty list23:23
mgedminI doubt you can fix this in the evolution script, unless you stop using findObjectsProviding and do the loops manually23:23
eldarmgedmin, we can just subclass and use our own findObjectsProviding, right?23:25
eldarjust for the evolve23:25
mgedminsubclass what?23:25
mgedminfindObjectsProviding is a global function23:25
eldaroh it's not in a class? poo23:25
eldarwe'll just have to step through ourselves then23:26
Lumiereth1a: what's your problem with the dashboard popup really?23:27
Lumiereth1a: the popup avoids a full page load23:27
Lumierewhich is a major plus23:27

bvuongthanks23:39
*** mgedmin has quit IRC23:44
th1aLumiere: Having a popup tab at the bottom of a web page is just totally non-standard.23:57
th1aNo other web application works that way.23:58
Lumierethen make it appear when you click on your name?23:58
LumiereI mean... we need to stop loading a full page when we don't need to23:58
th1aThere's no good reason not to just have it be another page.23:58
Lumiereth1a: other then loading another page23:58
eldarth1a, if it is going to be used often, it'll be really bothersome to have to click on your name and wait for a load to just access it23:59
eldari think it adds utility23:59
