Zope/Plone on Fedora

-
My industrial internship with Inigo Technologies requires me to run a distro which have python2.4. Being someone who prefer to stick on RPMS rather than source-based installation, I ran CentOS on Xen of my home fileserver for Zope/Plone support.

While wasting my time browsing through pirut a few days ago, I noticed compat-python/compat-zope/compat-plone on Livna repository. I know those packages exist by Jonathan Stefan, but didn't know that its on Livna. Anyway, cool, now I can play with zope on my laptop directly :D.

and fedora comes with py2.5 by default since Fedora7 :P .. too new to some, but just right for me .. just that Zope cant run properly on py2.5 yet ..

i used gentoo before .. its a maintenance hell thats one thing for sure .. maintaining 5 old computers which took 6 hours to compile for each computers from source is not my cup of tea ..

you can say that again.One more thing about gentoo in "enterprise" is its aura which scares 3rd party vendor.For instance the other day a vendor came to do some client/agent installation on all linux boxes. Half of my boxes are gentoo and they were checkmate ...lol. So for gentoo kena buat sendiri ;)

Adding simple popup to Plone frontpage

Here is a little guide for those who want to add a simple popup to the Plone frontpage for some purpose (eg: announcements, advertisements, etc). Create a basic html file containing the content you want to appear in the popup. Upload it into $PLONE_SITE/portal_skins/custom (as Page Template) and for the sake of this example, name it popup.html Afterward, create a Javascript file with your Pop-Up loader script. For example , this script: function popup(mylink, windowname) { if (! window.focus)return true; var href; if (typeof(mylink) == 'string') href=mylink; else href=mylink.href; window.open(href, windowname, 'width=220,height=400,scrollbars=no'); return false; }; popup('popup.html', 'My Popup'); Also upload this file into $PLONE_SITE/portal_skins/custom (as Page Template too).

DISCLAIMER: THIS OPEN LETTER IS MY OWN OPINION, FROM MY OWN POINT OF VIEW OF LOOKING AT THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN UTP. IT DOES NOT REPRESENT UTP STUDENTS AS A WHOLE, NEITHER IT TRIES TO REPRESENT THEM. SOME MIGHT NOT AGREE, SOME MIGHT, BUT I BELIEVE THOSE WHO LIVED DURING THE TRADITIONAL LEGACY OF UTPCHAT AND THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY ONCE SURROUNDING UTPCHAT AND GRAPEVINE WOULD AGREE TO SOME, IF NOT ALL, OF MY POINTS BELOW. Dear Datuk Dr Zainal Abidin Haji Kasim, I am Mohd Izhar Firdaus Ismail (ID 7857), an ICT student in UTP from batch Jan2005, and also one of the active UTPchat IRCOperators. I am writing this because I feel like UTP action of forcing UTPchat to it knees several semesters ago is giving a bad impact on community life in UTP. A bad impact which caused UTP to waste the potential of the (so-called) 'cream de la cream' which UTP have grabbed early after their SPM examination. UTPchat IRC Network, existed originally around more than 10 years
