Hi,

I'm also very tempted to use systematically unit testing when developing
Zope products, but I don't quite get how to do it, since Zope products
are so integrated within a whole framework.

  That's interesting..Hm.  ZClient has to marshal.  I suspect that

 I made a test script to make about 300 xmlrpc calls to various manage_

 long. 

This sounds pretty fishy. Are you saying that you made less than
300 calls in half an hour? This doesn't seem right at all.

I'm probably way off base here, but I use xml-rpc to transfer
records to a Zope-based application from a bunch of Macs attached
to ABI gene sequencers. The data is simple lists of lists and it
*appears* to take about 2-3 seconds for the Macs to xml-encode and
transfer the data as-is, but it takes typically *3 minutes* for
the xmlrpc server to decode and rebuild the table data. This is
for about 6000 records representing about 200k of text data (Sun
Ultra 5 server). However, if I simply build a string representation
of the table data, it takes about 3-4 seconds for the client to
stringify, transfer the string data, and the server to reconstruct
the table. Guess which method I use?

The tests I ran using a SAX-based parser show it might parse and
rebuild the data at least 50x faster than the current Python-only
xmlrpclib.

Now maybe something else is going on wrt manage* methods and xmlrpc,
(I'm using external methods for managing the data transfer and am
not storing the raw data in the Zope database), but my external
methods-based calls rip along at a pretty good clip as long as I
convert the data to a (few) string(s) before sending.

[Zope] Adding new News items using Yihaw

2000-08-15 Thread Meaghan Aldridge

I am a Zope Newbie, and have been creating a company Intranet using
Zope, and have stumbled across a problem that has me absolutely stumped!

I have created a basic Web Interface using the Yihaw Product, and in
this, I have added News Items.  To search this, I use ZCatalog, which
works quite well.

The aim of this is to have a message board that authorised users can add
and delete messages from.

So far, the only way that I have found to add messages, is to actually
add a new "Yihaw News" product from the Zope Management Interface.

What I want to happen is that I can have a link to a page that displays
a form with one field with the message to be displayed, and perhaps
another field with a brief title.  (The other fields, being the date and
the name of the person who posted the message, I will have
automatically, using the datetime function, and the authorised_user
function.)  This then generates itself into a Yihaw News item.

Does anyone know how I could achieve this, or perhaps a work around for
this?

Thanks,

Meaghan

[Zope] Hotfixes: serious suggestion

2000-08-15 Thread Frank Tegtmeyer

Hi all,

I already wrote it to DC but got no response, so I will try to get some 
feedback here.

At the moment DC uses the north american way of expressing dates and 
assigns them in this form to the names of the Hotfixes. I propose another 
naming scheme and will explain the reasons below.

The current format is Hotfix_08_09_2000, my proposed format is
 Hotfix_2000-08-09.
This is the ISO 8601 format (abbreviated form).

Reasoning:

First of all Zope is a product of a north american company but is used 
worldwide. Not all countries use the american form of dates, so it would 
be nice to have a standardized one (in my opinion this applies also to the 
standard date functions in Zope).

The reasons for establishing ISO 8601 apply here as well:
- ordering of month and day are different in Europe and America,
  this leads to difficulties interpreting date values
- ISO dates are sortable by string functions
- ISO dates are easy to parse by humans AND programs

Opinions?

Regards, Frank

Have a look at GUF or the new LoginManager.

They do something similar to what you want.
Either, you can use them directly, or learn how they work

Re: [Zope] problems connections to database

2000-08-15 Thread Dieter Maurer

Tom Deprez writes:
  Hi,
  
  I get a strange error here. Suddenly the connection to my interbase db
  doens't works anymore. I get the following message :
  
File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/Products/gvibDA/db.py, line 178, in _abort
File gvib/gvib.py, line 466, in rollback
  Error: - Unable to complete network request to host quot;localhostquot;.
  -- Error writing data to the connection. -- Broken pipe
This is a nice and very specific error message.

It says that the communication channel to your interbase
server (or relay) has been broken and no more
data can be send through it.

Usually, this means that the other side of the communication channel
has closed the channel (this happens automatically, when the
associated process dies). Look in the logfiles of the
server (or relay) whether you can find any hint about
why this happens.

You could try to figure out, whether the problem occurs always
in the same context. In your report, the problem was in
the "_abort". Maybe, "aborts" are not handled correctly.


There is some very strange code in the ZOracle Database
adapter: When a query returns an exception, the code
assumes that the database may be hosed, closes/reopens
the connection and tries again once.
I removed the strange code (during a memory corruption
hunt) and we determined that Oracle 8.1.6 does not
need it any more.
But maybe, this is a way for your Interbase problem?

[Zope] Computed variable access (was: [Zope] use properties to get an object with dtml-var)

2000-08-15 Thread Dieter Maurer

Gerard Metrailler Jr. writes:
  Hello,
  
  I am trying to get the following more generic.
  
  dtml-var "content.whos_who.gmetrail.real_name"
  
  In that case, content and whos_who are folder, gmetrail is a ZClass I 
  created which derivates from Image and real_name is a property of that object.
  
  What I am trying to do is getting something like:
  
  dtml-var "user_info + REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER + real_name" where 
  user_info is a property that I defined in /
You do not want to access a fixed variable but want the variable
to be accessed computed in some way.

Computed variable access is provided by

"_[expression]"

Sometimes, you must use:

"_.getitem(expression)"


Both forms evaluate "expression" into a variable name
and look it up in the namespace resulting in an object.
The first form calls the object, if it is callable, and returns
the result of this function call.
The second form always returns the object itself without
calling it.

For a DTML document/method "calling" means rendering, thus
the result is a string.


There is a related need: computed attribute access.
Here, an attribute to be accessed is not fixed but
must be computed.

You would use "_.getattr(object,expression)" in this case.

Re: [Zope] Best way to subclass DTML Document and some other ZClasses questions

2000-08-15 Thread Dieter Maurer

Marcin Kasperski writes:
  I decided to subclass DTML Document and (using ZClass) create my own
  document class 
  
  1) How can I set standard DTML Document properties (title!) from my
  constructor? I created constructor form and constructor method, I
  succesfully prompt for and set all my properties but I do not know how
  to set properties belonging to DTML Document.
Your ZClass inherits the methods of its base classes.
You use the base classes methods to access their features.

In your specific case, you would use "manage_changeProperties"
to change the DTML Document properties.
"manage_changeProperties" is defined by "OFS.PropertyManager.PropertyManager".

  2) Can I do anything to have single property screen which would behave
  as original DTML Document property screen but present both original
  properties and properties belonging to my custom property sheet?
You can create your own ZClass "view" that does this.

  3) Can I influence property editing screens (what I want is to increase
  some edit boxes)?
Same as 2)

  4) Can I do something to have ZCatalog PrincipiaSearch (i.e. full text
  search) to scan some property of my custom ZClass (say property body
  from propertysheet Basic)?
You just define "Meta Data" or indexes for them.

  5) Can I write index_html method of my custom class so it interpret DTML
  tags (like dtml-var substitution)?
I do not understand this question:

  "index_html" has nothing to do with interpreting DTML tags.

  If there is an "index_html", then, via the web, you
  can use ".../my_object" and, in fact, ".../my_object/index_html"
  is used. That is all.

  When you want to interpret DTML tags, you will need to somehow
  use DocumentTemplate instances.

  And one question after the whole mess. I migrated my (fairly small so
  far) website from DTML Documents to my custom document class - and I did
  it manually. But I would not like to perform similar operation manually
  if the site contained 500 or 5000 pages. 
You will find in the list's archive a suggestion for converting
DTML documents into DTML methods.
It could be adapted for your purpose.

You may have a look at ZPublisher.Client, too.
It allows to control Zope by external Python scripts.

  I can't find a definition of an object named Persistent (probably ought to

"Persistence" is only a "placeholder" module that gets filled
by the really used Object Database package (ZODB, BoboPOS2, BoboPOS3, ...)
that implements persistence.

For the current Zope, "ZODB/__init__.py" fills this module
with "cPersistence.Persistent" and "PersistentMapping".


By the way, Andrew Kuchling works on separate packages for
various Zope parts. I think, ZODB is one of this packages.
There was an announcement in zope-dev.

[Zope] Struggling with Permissions

2000-08-15 Thread Jean Jordaan

Hi all

I've run into something baffling regarding authentication.
For debugging purposes, my standard_html_header tells me:

  (I'm emdtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()"/em and I have 
  emdtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()"/em role(s).)

When I visit /docs, it tells me:

  (I'm Anonymous User and I have Anonymous role(s).) 

That's cool. Now I visit:

  /docs/manage_addProduct/ccDoc/ccDocClass_factory

via a link from /docs, and I am prompted for username and
password. I add an instance of my ZClass, and am redirected
to /docs:

  dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('ContentManager')"
  dtml-comment njj: Called from the public interface
  /dtml-comment
dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(
 DestinationURL+'/index_html')"
  dtml-else
dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(
 DestinationURL+'/manage_workspace')"
  /dtml-if

(this is from ccDocClass_add). When I arrive I *still* see:

  (I'm Anonymous User and I have Anonymous role(s).) 

Now I edit the URL manually and visit /docs/manage, which
works *without* prompting me for authentication. I edit the 
URL back to /docs, and now I see: 

  (I'm docEditor and I have ContentManager and Manager role(s).)

Also, this doesn't *always* happen. Perhaps it's an IE problem?
Does anyone know exactly how this works?

[Zope] Structured Text Rendering

2000-08-15 Thread Chris Withers

Hi,

I have a list of string.strip'ped strings which I'd like to render using
structured text.

I'm currently trying:

stx = str(StructuredText.html_with_references(join(storedLines,' \n'),
level=3))

but that isn't working :(

The text in the form submission is:
"""
sdfsdf

 - sdfsdf
 
 - sdfsdf

 - sdfsdf
"""

print join(storedLines,'\n') prints:
"""
sdfsdf

 - sdfsdf

 - sdfsdf

 - sdfsdf
"""

while 'print stx' ,very wierdly shows:
"""
 psdfsdf

 - sdfsdf

 - sdfsdf

 - sdfsdf

/p
"""
(what happened to the  for the P ?

and finally, what actually ends up in the HTML source as the result of
this
(which is called by dtml-var
"render(_.string.split(REQUEST['body'],'\n'),REQUEST.get('encoding','HTML'))")
is:
"""
psdfsdf
 

 
 - sdfsdf
 
 
 
 - sdfsdf
 

 
 - sdfsdf
 

 
/p
"""

The questions are:
1) why all the extra newlines in the HTML source?
2) why just the one paragraph beign picked up, instead of 4?
3) why are the '-'s being turned into list items?

cheers,

Chris

 That's right :-)
 
 ..and in particular why it's so weird. It seems to do something like use
 return the last element of the tuple rather than return the tuple
 object...

Looking at the code, it appears that if you pass a list of two-element
tuples, dtml-in will sort by the first element of each pair and render
the second element.  If, on the other hand, you pass a list of lists, it
won't try to sort that way.

Re: [Zope] Implementing a login form instead of BASIC authentication

Wouldn't that reduce system security?

   I think he mean cookie-based authentication, as found on zope.org.

I am currently looking into implementing a login form to replace the
standard BASIC authentication.

   Gérard,

   Take a look at things like LoginManager and GUF which can do this sort
   of thing. They are standard replacements for the acl_users folder and
   will serve you a lot better than hackign around in User.py...

I am intersested in this issue as well since we are looking hard at security.
Here is my current thinking.

BASIC is not secure since the name:password is base64 encoded and not
encrypted.

DIGEST seems good in that it is encrypted and uses the
Challange/Response like BASIC for every HTTP transaction -- matched well
with the stateless nature of HTTP.

Cookie based methods seem to assume some notion of session to me which
fundamentally is a hack and is less secure than DIGEST, to wit:

 1) One should encrypt the info in the cookie
 2) How does one get around the stateless nature or HHTP in secure way using
cookies? In other words, unless the HTTP transaction is challenged every 
time, how do you really know that someone is not trying to slip into an 
existing session?

Also on the server side I need to share the login info among Zope, and
Tomcat -- has a methodolgy been developed to do so?

All,

PHPlib (http://phplib.netuse.de)  has a piece of javascript that creates MD5
hashes from the entries in a form:

so you would never have to pass passwords in clear text, as long as the hash
agrees with the one created server side, login is successful.

the PHPlib docs describe it better than me, but it works great.

[Zope] Zope bug or my stupidity?

2000-08-15 Thread Peter Hernberg

...I'm betting on the latter :)

The problem in a nutshell is that a dtml method seems to be returning itself
(that is, the dtml source of the method), rather than what it ought to be
returning. I have two classes, a "Topic" class, derived from ObjectMananger, and
a "Story" class. The Topics contain Stories. As you might imagine, I wanted a
method that would dig up the most recent stories in a Topic. So I wrote one and
put it in the the methods of the Topic class. Done with that, I wanted a method
that would decide which of the Stories from each topic to put on the main page.
But a weird thing happened. I got errors telling me that my function was
returing a string (I was trying to use it in a dtml-in tag). That's odd, I
thought, so changed the function to simply spit out the results of the method
call with a dtml-var tag. I discovered that it was spitting out the source of my
dtml method. Yikes! Aren't all variables supposed to be rendered?

Here's the method (named get_storys) in the Topic's methods:
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('stories', [])"
dtml-in "objectValues('Story')" reverse sort=Date
dtml-if numStories
dtml-if "sequence-index  (numStories - 1)"
dtml-call "stories.append(id)"
/dtml-if
dtml-else
dtml-if "sequence-index == 0"
dtml-call "stories.append(id)"
/dtml-if
/dtml-if
/dtml-in
dtml-return stories

Here's the method that calls that method:
dtml-in "objectValues('Topic')"
dtml-with sequence-item
dtml-var "get_storys"
/dtml-with
/dtml-in
dtml-with "Economic.ColdFusion"
dtml-var id
/dtml-with

In case you're wondering, I'm running zope 2.2.0.

[Zope] File uploads causing memory to be used up

2000-08-15 Thread Tony McDonald

Hi all,
I have an external method that uploads RTF files(and only RTF files) 
into a unix directory. It works fine, except it doesn't seem to 
release the memory it uses up in uploading the file.

The method is;

def process_file(self, file, location, REQUEST):
 if file.read(1) == '':
 return "NO file. Something wrong?"
 file.seek(0)
 split = string.split(file.filename, '\\')
 filename = string.lower(split[-1])

# save the file into the correct directory
 oname = os.path.join(savedir + location, filename)
 f = open(oname, "wb")
 body = file.read()
 f.write(body)
 f.close()
 if type(body) is not type(''):
 body=body.data
 content_type, enc = guess_content_type(oname, body, None)

 if content_type == 'application/rtf':
# it's ok, we can go ahead and process this file.

# need to strip off the .rtf extension however
 guideid = string.replace(filename, '.rtf', '')
 filesize = os.stat(oname)[6]

# copy the file from savedir to opsdir
 os.system("cp -f %s %s" % (oname, opsdir))

# now cd to the operations directory and do some stuff.
 os.chdir(opsdir)

# actually do the grinding...
 os.system("DoAGuide %s" % guideid)

# return the output of the log file
 logfilename = os.path.join(opsdir, "%s.log" % guideid)
 f = open(logfilename, "r")
 logoutput = f.read()
 f.close()

# get the template we're going to use for output.
 template_str = self.done.read_raw()
 template = DocumentTemplate.HTML(template_str)
 theresult = template(self, filename=filename, 
contenttype=content_type, filesize=filesize, guideid=guideid, 
logoutput=logoutput)
 return theresult

 return "File saved %s, size (bytes) %s. content-type [%s]" % 
(filename, filesize, content_type)

The files are roughly 2-3 megs in size, and each time they're 
uploaded the amount of memory (as reported by 'top') used by the 
process increases by about that amount.

*Any* ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. We've had our 
server brought down twice by a python process (ie zope) that was 
taking up 1.1 gigs of RAM.

Yellow ppl,

I inserted my local machine IP address in DNS_IP section of Z2.py as I used
to in version 2.1.6 (now running 2.2.1b1). This used to work for me and
instead of numbers I would get resolved names in the Z2.log.

Since I upgraded to 2.2.0 and now 2.2.1b1 I only get numbers. DNS_IP section
of Z2.py is not working properly anymore...

anyone??

[Zope] Looking up other row records in an SQLMethod?

2000-08-15 Thread Theodore Patrick

Is it possible to look up other SQL record values while iterating through a
DTML-IN?

Sample Data returned by SQL Method:

ID, ORDER
23, 1 
25, 3
34, 6
39, 19
12, 23

Using a DTML IN I need to get the following during a single pass through
the SqlMethod:

HEADER ID   ORDER  PREV  NEXT
PASS 1   231null3
PASS 2   253  1 6
PASS 2   256  319
PASS 2   25   19 623
PASS 2   25   2319   null

Calculating the PREV and NEXT is the problem and this cannot be done via
SQL.

1. What is the syntax for writing out SQL Fields Directly?

Say in a DTML-IN

dtml-var ID  dtml-var ORDER dtml-var "ORDER[0]" dtml-var "ORDER[2]


Any Ideas??

Thanks in Advance.

[Zope] ZCatalog Question

2000-08-15 Thread Jeff Sasmor

I have a product that has three CatalogAware Zclasses.  They
are indexed by the catalog correctly, but when I look at the
catalog's status tab, the number of objects for each index are
identical, even though the ZClasses themselves don't all have the same
properties.

Intuitively, this seems wrong. Or maybe my intuition is wrong.
It "makes more sense" to have differing number of objects
based on how many of each type of ZClass instance was indexed
and what the properties of each one was.

Anyone have any enlightenment (or is that Zen...) ?

[Zope] [Ann] Another Zope Book

2000-08-15 Thread Dieter Maurer

Dear Zopistas,

I plan to write another book about Zope: "Building Dynamic WebSites
with Zope".

The book idea:

  Realize a demanding dynamic WebSite with Zope.
  Describe everything that is necessary for this purpose.


This will contain:
  Concepts: HTTP, HTML, Zope, Databases, JavaScript, ...
  Components: catalogs, sessions, topics, news, discussions,
  stores, mails, LoginManager, customizers, workflows, ...
  Programming: building your own components (ZClasses and
   Product API)

[Zope] Import Error 'PTKDemo' - but *no* PTKDemo objects around..

2000-08-15 Thread Tony McDonald

Hi all,
I'm having a nightmare here.

I have a Zope 2.2 (src, solaris) installation that I built from 
scratch. Then, because *it would not* import an exported folder from 
a 2.1.6 installation I had to use the Data.fs from the 2.1.6 
installation and strip out everything other than the folder I was 
interested in.

Things seemed to be ok, but I found a nasty error I can't get around.

I wanted to use the 'advanced' tab on a ZSQL method and immediately 
got this traceback. This happens on *any* ZSQL method. I use the 
ZMySQL database adaptor.

[Zope] Getting a document's contents

2000-08-15 Thread Joshua Brauer


There is probably a simple solution that I'm overlooking here

I have a folder (Parts) that contains dtml documents that are snippets of code. I want 
to include some of them which I have listed in a variable (select).

So I use code like this:

dtml-with parts
dtml-in select
dtml-var "_.getitem('sequence-item')"
/dtml-in
/dtml-with

or this

dtml-with parts
dtml-in select
dtml-var sequence-item
/dtml-in
/dtml-with


In either case I get the name of sequence-item but I want the contents of sequence-item

[Zope] ProxyPass - where ???

2000-08-15 Thread George Osvald

I'm having trouble configuring ProxyPass on my ISP's server. I tried to
follow the instructions in the appropriate HOW-TO's without a success. I
think they all assume that the user would have root access. I don't. I have
built ZOPE in my user directory.
Anyway ProxyPass takes two arguments, a virtual path and a URL. In my case
is the virtual path a local path to my user directory or zope install
directory ?

So if:
user directory is located @ /home/virtuals/myaccount/
and zope installation @ /home/virtuals/myaccount/zope
my web site is @ www.mydomaine.com.au
the server is demon.server.com.au
and sub directory in ZOPE with my web site is 'okstudio' (I've used
SiteAccess for this)
then is this correct?

VirtualHost 123.45.678.9
ServerName www.mydomaine.com.au
ProxyPass /home/virtuals/myaccount/ http://demon.server.com.au:8080/okstudio
ProxyPassReverse /home/virtuals/myaccount/
http://demon.server.com.au:8080/okstudio
/VirtualHost

or maybe:

VirtualHost 123.45.678.9
ServerName www.mydomaine.com.au
ProxyPass /home/virtuals/myaccount/zope
http://demon.server.com.au:8080/okstudio
ProxyPassReverse /home/virtuals/myaccount/zope
http://demon.server.com.au:8080/okstudio
/VirtualHost

originally when using stuff copied from the HOW-TO I used:

VirtualHost 123.45.678.9
ServerName www.mydomaine.com.au
ProxyPass / http://demon.server.com.au:8080/okstudio
ProxyPassReverse / http://demon.server.com.au:8080/okstudio
/VirtualHost

The result was this error message in my browser:

Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /.

Reason: Could not connect to remote machine: Connection refused

Great, idea! Lets face it this is what the majority of users will be using
Zope for. IHMO you cannot have too many books on Zope. One thing I would
like to see is comparisons of how you would do something in other systems...
for example I used to start thinking when I used Perl or ASP I used to do it
this why... now how do I do that in Zope sort of thing.

Re: [Zope] Getting a document's contents

2000-08-15 Thread R. David Murray

On Tue, 15 Aug 2000, Joshua Brauer wrote:
 I have a folder (Parts) that contains dtml documents that are snippets of code. I 
want to include some of them which I have listed in a variable (select).
 
 So I use code like this:
 
 dtml-with parts
 dtml-in select
 dtml-var "_.getitem('sequence-item')"
 /dtml-in
 /dtml-with

Right idea, but not quite there.  Your 'select' variable holds the
string ids of the objects, but you need the actual objects in order
to get them rendered.  getitem will look up the object given the
id, but you're actually telling it here to look up the value (in
the namespace) of the string 'sequence-item'.  What you get, as
you observed, is the id string stored at that moment in sequence-item.
So you need to loose the quotes so it will look up that id string
in the namespace.  However, there's a wrinkle:  sequence-item
is not a valid python variable name.  So you have to look sequence-item
up in the namespace after all.  You could do:

dtml-var "_.getitem(_.getitem('sequence-item'))"

However, Zope provides a shortcut for this, using the namespace variable
(_) as a dictionary:

dtml-var "_.getitem(_['sequence-item'])"

This, though, is going to *just* retrieve the object, it won't cause
it to render (I think you'll get the DTML source, which I think is
the representation of the object as string, which is the default
conversion in this context grin).

So what you a really want to do is execute the object after you've
retreived it, which will case it (unless it is a ZClass that is
not subclassed from Renderable) to render itself, which is what
I think you want.  To do that you pass a true flag to getitem as
its second argument:

dtml-var "_.getitem(_['sequence-itmem'],1)"

Now, _ has this additional feature (Chris Whithers would say bug) that it
calls any callable object it is asked to retrieve via the dictionary lookup.
So you should be able to shorten this to:

dtml-var "_[_['sequence-item]]"

There's one more subtlety (are you getting tired of this yet?) involving
the need to pass the namespace to called DTML methods, but
I believe _ takes care of that for you in this example so I won't
go into it.  But it's a FAQ, too, so you might want to look for
the answer before it bites you grin.

Re: [Zope] ProxyPass - where ???

2000-08-15 Thread Stephen Harrison

NameVirtualHost 123.45.678.9

VirtualHost 123.45.678.9
ServerName www.mydomaine.com.au
ProxyPass / http://demon.server.com.au:8080/okstudio/
ProxyPassReverse / http://demon.server.com.au:8080/okstudio/
/VirtualHost

This is the setup you want.  Note the trailing /'s.  It means that
anything sent to the root of www.mydomain.com.au will be proxied to
demon.server.com.au:8080/okstudio

The NameVirtualHost directive is necessary for the VirtualHost
directives to work.  It basically says this ip address is used for name
based VIP.

I don't quite see how this can be any use to you though, if you don't
have root access then you presumably cannot edit apache's httpd.conf
file which is where these settings need to be.

How were you running it before, if you don't have this access?

Cheers,
Stephen

  2) why just the one paragraph beign picked up, instead of 4?
You said, the list consists of "strip"ped strings?
Structured text uses indentation and newlines to
determine paragraphs and their nesting.

  3) why are the '-'s being turned into list items?
This is what structured text should do:
a paragraph (!) starting with '-' or '*' is turned into
a list item.
Because, however, no paragraphs are recognized, I would
not expect to see list items.

However, I may also be a Zope feature.

  When you access an unprotected object, Zope may not
  determine the "true" authenticated user but simply
  return the anonymous user object.


This is nasty, if user objects have additional properties
or additional roles that are inspected in an unprotected
page.

  Why and how are python tuples (like, this) handled differently (and not

The "how" has been explained already.

The "why" is only my guess: support for the widespread idiom
"dict.items()", "objectItems" etc.


Form the DTML reference:

sequence-key
  The key associated with the element in an items
  sequence. An items sequence is a sequence of

Re: [Zope] Product question

From: "Daniel Rusch" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I've created a product, installed it and it appears on the Product
 Management at /Control_Panel / Products list.

 The question is how do I get it to appear in the drop down of Available
 Objects?


You have to register the class it defines. If you want the class to be
subclassable by ZClasses, you also have to registerBaseClass. Here's an
example copied from the __init__.py of my Xron product:

  context.registerClass(
XronDTMLMethod.XronDTMLMethod,
permission = 'Add Scheduled Method',
constructors = (
  XronDTMLMethod.manage_addXronDTMLMethodForm,
  XronDTMLMethod.manage_addXronDTMLMethod),

  context.registerBaseClass(XronDTMLMethod.XronDTMLMethod)

You will probably find you are missing a doc string. After your method

def  manage_addFrameWorkDoc:
''' this is the doc string you must have '''

[Zope] Managing subobjects

2000-08-15 Thread Menard . Jean-Francois

(I speak frech, sorry for my english!)
I created a ZClass, zRow.  This class can contain other ZClass: zField_Text,
zField_Date, etc.
This let me define the columns contained in a zRow.
I then defined a Class zTable, wich contains zRows.

Question:

-  In my manage tabs, I needed a have a tab "Define columns".  Do
achieve this, I inserted a ZRow Instace (with id Definition) in my zTable
product definition, and a method called Define_Columns, containing:

dtml-with Definition
  dtml-var manage_main
/dtml-with

And I defined a view "Define Columns" pointing to that method.  When
i click on the "Define Columns", I can see the manage screen of the instance
"Definition", that's what I wantwd.

But when Add a zField, the instance is create in the zTable level,
not IN Definition instance!  All the classes are Based on CatalogAware,
ObjectManager.

Any ideas how to fix that?  Any sugestion how I could implement
this?

The current format is Hotfix_08_09_2000, my proposed format is
  Hotfix_2000-08-09.
This is the ISO 8601 format (abbreviated form).

Reasoning:

First of all Zope is a product of a north american company but is used
worldwide. Not all countries use the american form of dates, so it would
be nice to have a standardized one (in my opinion this applies also to the
standard date functions in Zope).

The reasons for establishing ISO 8601 apply here as well:
- ordering of month and day are different in Europe and America,
   this leads to difficulties interpreting date values
- ISO dates are sortable by string functions
- ISO dates are easy to parse by humans AND programs

Opinions?

I agree. If everyone standardised on ISO 8601 in written date and time 
formats, the world would be a saner place. Writing MM-DD-YY(YY) is just 
silly in my opinion, no matter how you like to say it out loud. It may have 
been acceptable in times past (like when the Internet was not nearly 
globally ubiquitous), but these days it's just an anachronism (as is 
DD-MM-YY, because it is easily mistaken for MM-DD-YY). Likewise for 12 hour 
time. There's only one 14:00 in the day, and that's the way I like it! ;-)

 Nah, you're just running in debug mode...

But, why is it a 'PROBLEM', why not 'INFO' ?

 Dear Zopistas,
 
 I plan to write another book about Zope: "Building Dynamic WebSites

 The book idea:
 
   Realize a demanding dynamic WebSite with Zope.
   Describe everything that is necessary for this purpose.
 
 This will contain:
   Concepts: HTTP, HTML, Zope, Databases, JavaScript, ...
   Components: catalogs, sessions, topics, news, discussions,
   stores, mails, LoginManager, customizers, workflows, ...
   Programming: building your own components (ZClasses and
Product API)

[...]
 
 What do you think about my plan?
 Do you feel, it is worth persuing or redantant in view of the
 official Zope book?

I think it sounds great. Of course, I may be biased since that's some of what I am 
doing for mine, but IMO it is an
excellent idea.

If you want to pass the form variables, you're in for a fight. (o8
otherwise, you could simply try :

dtml-var "otherform(_.None, _)" instead of a redirect.

If you want to make sure only the correct form vars are passed, you could

Hi Stuart,

i ran into the same problem a little while ago. i was trying to pass the
user around to the proper displayprocess page(with inputs inplace)
after a logic page that determined where they should go based on their
inputs. IMO, The crux of the problem is that Zope as a web development
platform should include the urlparse lib from the python core more over
this problem and others like it should be remedied i believe by a
standard method of extending the modules in the _ namespace with thread
safe modules that a developer deems nesc. OK enough soap box... i ended
up reimplementing the nesc. functionality in a python method and created
another method to implement complete form insertion in much the same the
style that of some ACS(arsdigita) utiltiy methods do. here they are,
usage examples are included in the code.

of course this solution requires evan simpson's python methods product
be installed on your zope.

If your original form submits using the GET method, then QUERY_STRING
will contain the already URL encoded parameters that the browser
sent originally.

DTML also has a url_encode format you can use to cause a string to
be url encoded if it isn't already.  Check the dtml reference.

 In DTML is it possible to get an object using its url? Something like
 
 dtml-with "get_object( '/some/local/url' )".../dtml-with

Something like.

I asked this question a long time ago, and refound the answer by
searching the zope.nipltd.com mailing list archives using the
search terms 'resolve and url'.

dtml-with "REQUEST.resolve_url('/some/local/url')"

I also have a vauge memory that this may be a depricated interface
and that 2.2 has some new method you should use instead.  But I couldn't
come up with a search phrase to get the right message for that one frown.

Make sure you have the permissions set correctly for that product, so that
you are allowed to create it.

Subject: [Zope] Product question


 I've created a product, installed it and it appears on the Product
 Management at /Control_Panel / Products list.

 The question is how do I get it to appear in the drop down of Available
 Objects?

 Hi there,

 What I want is an acl_users equivalent that has an SQL database backend.
 I want an easy to understand, easy to install solution for this that
 has some kind of future in Zope land. Currently I'm deploying 2.1 but
 that should change into 2.2 eventually.

 UserDb isn't developed anymore. Besides, it might not work for 2.2.
 (does it?)


i'm using userdb on 2.2.0 and it has been smooth sailing.   setup is easy.  
but there are several drawbacks:
-password is not encrypted.
-it's not maintained - probably means that it's stable. until a new version 
of zope changes this, of course.

i've tried GUF, but decided to stick with UserDB until i really have to 
change.  login manager, i havenot tried yet

note:  userdb are not installed on a fresh zope2.2.0, but upgraded from 
2.1.6.  but i do remember installing on a fresh zope2.2.0 and encountered no 
problems.
