[Zope-dev] Using Zope-modules in Python

2000-10-18 Thread Thomas Weholt

Hi,

I want to use some Zope-modules in plain Python, no web-stuff, namely ZODB 
and Persistence (maybe others too ). I've installed BeOpen Python 2.0 and 
Zope 2.2.2. I want to import the Zope-modules, but adding the C:\Program 
Files\WebSite\lib\python-folder to sys.path just doesn't cut it. I get an 
import error. Running on Windows 2000.

Any tips, hints or guides wanted. Thanks!

Thomas

RE: [Zope-dev] Inheritable Propertysheets!???!!?!?!?!!

2000-10-18 Thread Seb Bacon
AFAIK (but I'm no expert), a ZClass inherits its parents' propertysheets and
you can access them in the normal way.  The problem is that the all the
propertysheets have to have different names.  Example:

If your parent class and the child class both have a property sheet called
"Basic", but the child class is hoping to inherit someproperty from the
parent class:

  ParentClass.Propertysheets.Basic.someproperty

is ok, but

  ChildClass.Propertysheets.Basic.someproperty

won't work, because "someproperty" is not in ChildClass's "Basic"
propertysheet.

If your parent class and child class do not share propertysheets with the
same name, you *can* access parent properties:

  ChildClass.Propertysheets.ChildSheet.anotherproperty
  ChildClass.Propertysheets.Basic.someproperty

will both work.

If I'm correct, this is all wrong and a bad thing, surely?

However that was the worst-explained thing I've ever been responsible for
and it's probably wrong.  That particular configuration of punctuation in
the subject header just struck a chord with me...

[Zope-dev] SkinScript Exceptions

2000-10-18 Thread Johan Carlsson


Using the following Rule:

WHEN eventspec STORE myattributelist USING storemyattributes() SAVING momentolist


How does failure to store an attribute get signaled back to the DataSkin?

Can I raise an exception in a SkinScript if a rule fails due to failure of the 
"WHEN eventspec"?


What I really is after is a way to control the change of states.

To enter one state (changing some attributes to some state)
the object needs to be in a precondition state (having some attributes set to some 
values).
The rule should fire when the state attributes are changed,
check the precondition and if true, change the state (the attributes) 
and if not notify the caller (raise exception).

Johan Carlsson

Because Rename deletes.  The basic sequence of a renameObject command is (in
short):

In short, it:
1.Gets the object off of the objectmanager using the old id.
2.Deletes it from the objectmanager (doesn't delete the object
  itself!).
3.Changes the id of the object.
4.Adds it back to the objectmanager with the new id.

The detailed version is:
1.Check ID (is the new id invalid or already used?), raise
  Invalid ID if so.
2.Get the object using _getOb
3.Check if object supports copying\moving using cb_isMoveable,
  raise CopyError
4.Use _verifyObjectPaste (Does some verification to make sure the
  user.
5.Try to notify recipient of the copy (in this case "self" - the
  ObjectManager or other CopySupport-subclassed class instance),
  if that fails, raise a Rename Error.
6.Delete the object off of the object manager (self._delObject)
7.If possible, get the aq_base of the object, then set the objects
  id to the new id.
8.Set the modified object on the ObjectManager, leaving the ownership
  info unchanged.  (self._setObject).

It does not.  An exception in your rule will simply cause the Zope
transaction to abort.


Can I raise an exception in a SkinScript if a rule fails due to failure of
the 
"WHEN eventspec"?

No.  If the eventspec is not matched, the rule will not fire, so you will
not have any opportunity to raise an exception.


What I really is after is a way to control the change of states.

To enter one state (changing some attributes to some state)
the object needs to be in a precondition state (having some attributes set
to some values).
The rule should fire when the state attributes are changed,
check the precondition and if true, change the state (the attributes) 
and if not notify the caller (raise exception).

Rules only fire at transaction or subtransaction commit, so you can only
perform your checks at that time.  You can perform whatever operations you
wish, but only at that point.  If you need to force rules to be checked,
you must ask Zope to do a subtransaction commit, and then you will be able
to catch errors like this:

try:
get_transaction().commit(1) #subtransaction commit
except MyException:
# do whatever
else:
# we're okay, go ahead

Note, however, that if you find yourself doing this kind of thing a lot,
it's a good sign that your class is missing validation that belongs in the
class.  If you need the validation to be parameterized or customizable, you
can always determine certain class attributes using attribute providers,
and thus avoid forcing the existence of complex triggers.

In general, triggers are intended to be used as add-ons for data
manipulation or to extend a class which otherwise would be difficult to
extend.  They're not for performing the normal logic of a class.

Re: [Zope] bobobase_modification_time and .zexp

Sure. For your own creations it's somewhat easier, just create your 
own timestamps. But what about existing content. Say: what if you 
have a Yihawdirectory which has grown for a while, plus a 
collection of Zwikis scattered over various Zopes, which I want to 
move into a a single new, but already existing on a bigger, greater 
and better server? 

Zopes existing 'find' mechanism lets you apply an operation to all the
objects that it matches - use that to patch your existing objects to
the new schema.

 I do not know how to implement 'modificationTime' attribute (or
 better: how to change it whenever someone edits or uploads the
 document).

Well, for a moment I considered hacking ExportImport.py, but it's 
not obvious. That's why I'm asking whether somebody perhaps 
already has solved the problem.

There is the option of stripping all the various data.fs and combining 
them via mounting, but this is far from elegant, if it works at all. 

bobobase_modification_time returns the timestamp of the transaction
containing the most recent copy of the object. timestamping is
fundamental to ZODB. For this alone to work you will need to keep the
objects in separate data.fs files forever.

hi all,

i have this shiny brand new oracle 8i server and now read (on the
mailinglist) that there's no lob support for oracle 8i in dcoracle
1.3.2, and indeed it does not appear to work.

is that true? i need lob support! is there any workaround? through

Re: [Zope] MySQL and Zope struggles

2000-10-18 Thread Richard Moon

Thanks Monty,

I did try the temporary table route - problem is that Zope keeps the 
connection open so the temporary table stays there. Of course you can 
explicitly drop the temporary table after you've used it. However if the 
update fails for any reason the temporary table will still exist so next 
time in the SQL method fails because its trying to create a temporary table 
that is already there. I know this shouldn't happen etc but I don't like 
code that has that kind of potential problem in it - it isn't 'fail-safe'.

I decided better to use a permanent table. The SQL method locks it, deletes 
everything in it then writes the data it needs to store. That way its fail 
safe and I would expect more efficient than creating and dropping tables.

However I hadn't appreciate the REPLACE command. That's a real hidden gem. 
I'm off to see if I can use it - thanks.

Richard

At 11:37 17/10/00, you wrote:
You can do it with temporary tables.

Like this-

create temporary table foo (
   note_id int,
   notes varchar
);
insert into foo select Note.note_id, Note.notes from Note, Artist
   where Note.note_id=Artist.note_id and Artist.artist_id=23;
update foo set notes="asdlfna";
replace into Note select note_id, notes from foo;

This does assume that the note_id is unique.
You may also need to explicitly drop foo, because it goes away when you
disconnect, but of course  Zope holds connections open.

!!! However -- now that I think of it... you can just do:
replace into Note select note_id, "New Note" from Artist where artist_id=23;

Of couse, this will change all notes for an artist, so it assumes the
artist_id is unique as well. (Which I would assume it is from your model.)

If you need more complex things, look into temporary tables, but the MySQL
extension (like replace) do allow you to do fun things.

Hope this helps,
Monty

  Nice idea. Trouble is the note table is used to hold notes for many

  It looks as if there wasn't anything I was missing - I'm just going to have

  The example I gave was quite simple compared to some of the updates I have

  you now have a list of notes by artist_id.
  You typically won't have a screen that doesn't have an Artist context

  Of course this means more work to migrate :-(

[Zope] INSTANCE_HOME breaks cross products import

2000-10-18 Thread Johan Carlsson

Hi,
I'm using then the INSTANCE_HOME to have separate
Zope instances use a base zope installation and a shared 
products directory with symlink's to the instance product
folder. As described in the "How-To: Make your life easier 
with INSTANCE_HOME" by 4am.

Now the LoginManager can't import anything from the ZPattern module.

start up error message
2000-10-17T21:59:14 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't import Products.LoginManager
Traceback (innermost last):

9, in ?
ImportError: cannot import name SheetProviderContainer
/start up error message

Now this works fine if I start Zope from the base Zope installation.

So what goes wrong and why? 
Does I do anything wrong or should/could this be fixed in the product?
If so I guess it would be practical to document som product author guidelines.

Re: [Zope] UserDb - Please just WORK

2000-10-18 Thread Phil Harris

ed,

If I'm right it should be a fairly simple job to fix it.

I use Interbase to hold my user database and out of the box I get almost
exactly the same problems you do.

The problem is that 'password' is a reserved word.

The interbase solution is to rewrite the UserDB sql queries to be something
like :

select username, "PASSWORD",domains,roles from users

Note the quotation marks around 'password'.

Another solution involves editing UserDB.py, I can't remember the exact
place, but you need to tell it to use a different name for the password
field, I chose 'password_' at one time, which also fixed the problem.

Subject: [Zope] UserDb - Please just WORK


 Since Login Manager isn't doing the trick, I've been trying User DB to
 authenticate to my postgresql DB.

 I get some strange errors, like when I try to view a page that is
 'protected' by UserDb, I get the error message below.  Also, when I click
a
 user in the management screen, it says "the specified user does not
exist".

 Arrggg this task is so simple but REALLY FRUSTRATING...

 Thank you, thank you, thank you...  (to anyone who can help)

Re: [Zope] How about removing broken things like Confera andZDiscussions?

Cary,

I've written some code that requires ZSQL Methods that I've been heavily
considering porting over to a Product sometime in the near future. It has
been more of a "is there enough demand for a forum product" than anything
really. Take a look at http://www.phunc.com/Forums and tell me if it looks
any bit appealing to you. If I see enough demand, I'll productize it,
otherwise, tough luck ;]

[Zope] GUF, ZODB, and 2.2.2

2000-10-18 Thread Jason Byron

Has anyone had luck getting GUF to work using ZODB to
store the user info, and Zope version 2.2.2 (no hot
fixes)?

I had some code working fine in 2.2.1, but in 2.2.2 I
am having lots of trouble getting GUF to work.

The current implementation I have places a folder in
the acl_users (GUF) folder and that is where I've put
my own ZClass (representing each user) inside that
folder.

In a vain attempt to get it working I have made sure
that there are no aquired rights in acl_users, and
that anonymous has the Can Login, and Access contents
rights. I've also changed all of the hooks I have and
made them proxy as root.

I've had trouble in the past with GUF but I've always
gotten it working.  Not so here.

Has anyone tried this type of setup and gotten it
working?

Re: [Zope] Want to access ZClass Instance from external program

2000-10-18 Thread Jon Prettyman

Well, I've gotten xmlprclib and fixed it up so I can talk to my
server.  So far I can retrieve objectIds and retrieve objects via an
objectid, but I can't figure out how to get to the property sheets.

Here's what I've got:

server = Server( "http://jonprettyman.com" )

print server

for k,v in
server.EBQ.id_company_apply_html.propertysheets.common.propertyItems():
print "%-15s: %s" % (k, v)

My ZClass has a propertysheet named ``common''

The error I get is:
  -2 Unexpected Zope Error Value
  
and a bunch of HTML which boils down to:

   Resource not found

Kapil Thangavelu [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 its easiest to it with (IMO)
 
 xml-rpc 
 
 and find your zclasses with calls to objectids and query the

 you'll need to fix a base class and an import.

Re: [Zope] Problems with PoPy 1.4 ZPoPyDA 0.7

Thanks for the help Kapil. That was the problem, but what I did instead was
copied the PoPymodule.so from the system python lib folder to
/zope_home/lib/python. That did the trick.

  nothing. So outside of zope, python seems to be able to import PoPy, but
when
  zope tries to import ZPoPyDA it claims there is no PoPy module.
  
  Any ideas?

 There is a ZDiscussions that works. It is called ZUBB.
 

But it doesn't do attachments.  I really need attachments.
I'm trying to fix Attachments in ZDConfera, but the FileObject

So... add attachments. Not really a big deal. No one product is going to do
it all out of the box. That is why it is Open Source.. you open it and
provide your own source of code. :)

Yes, Squishdot is a very good option as well.

ZUBB, it would seem, it being maintained by little ole me.

Maybe I should write a little "Differences between ZUBB and Squishdot" so

RE: [Zope] MySQL and Zope struggles

What about one sql method:

 where note_id = @noteid

Subject: [Zope] MySQL and Zope struggles


I'm struggling to migrate an application from Zope/PostgreSQL to Zope MySQL 
(Why ? - because I've got a kind offer of free hosting if I use MySQL).

MySQL offers a limited set of features and is missing, among other things, 
the ability to use subqueries - so for example in PostgreSQL you can say

update note set notes =dtml-sqlvar notes type=string
 where note_id =
 (select note_id from artist where dtml-sqltest artist_id type=int)

and in MySQL you can't.

If you were working in a traditional programming environment you could 
overcome this by splitting the above into two parts - a select to retrieve 
the value of note_id from the artist table followed by an update of the 
note table using the returned value of note-id.

For example

select note-id into note-id-var from artist where artist-id = 23;
update note set notes = 'asdasda' where note-id = note-id-var;

The problem is that in Zope I believe you can't use a returned value within 
an SQL Method,  so the above code would fail. The only way I can see to do 
the above is to have two separate SQL Methods, one for the select, 
returning the note-id-var and another for the update. This is very clumsy.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there was a better way.

Many thanks


Richard

Subject: [Zope] Two questions regarding SQL


Hey 2 everyone:

I have two questions.

1) I need to authenticate my Zope users against a 
Sybase SQL database.

2) I need to make my Zope ODBC database connection 
object use (i.e. connect with) the user and password of 
the AUTHENTICATED_USER because security is at the 
database level, for tables and stored procedures.

How do I do that?  Any pointers?  LoginManager did not 
work for zope 2.2.2 here.  Besides, the new Z ODBC 
connection form only lets me specify an ODBC dsn or a 
connection string.  And as I understand, the connection 
string is the same for ALL zope users that use that 
object.

Any practical solutions to the problem #2?  Will I have 
to connect to the DB as DBA?  If that's the case, I'll 
have to go with PHP.

I'm sorry for my former HTML postings.  Won't happen 
again.


Thanks in advance.

[Zope] ZSQL Method AUTHENTICATED_USER

2000-10-18 Thread Aaron Straup Cope

Hi,

I'm trying to perform a simple MySQL lookup based on the
AUTHENTICATED_USER. When I test the ZSQL method from the management
interface, everything works fine. However, when I try to call the method
from a DTML document, [it] returns nothing.

Is this a namespace issue? I'm stumped and hoping that I'm not staring
right past the problem. Can anyone point out what it is I am doing
wrong? Thanks,

a) DTML Document : foo

dtml-with people
 dtml-in lookup_by_username
  dtml-var "username"
 /dtml-in
/dtml-with

b) ZSQL Method : people.lookup_by_username

select * from people where username = "dtml-var

RE: [Zope] ZSQL Method AUTHENTICATED_USER

2000-10-18 Thread steve smith

I have an approach that works for me, but it may be a bit awkward. I have a
SQL method (dbGetUserID) which takes AUTHENTICATED_USER as an argument and
finds the value from the "userid" field in the database:

select userid from users where shortname = dtml-sqlvar AUTHENTICATED_USER
type=nb

When I need to perform database ops on the user, I just call this method and
use the resulting id, eg,

insert into sometable (userid, otherfield) values
(dtml-in dbGetUserIDdtml-sqlvar userid type=int/dtml-in, dtml-sqlvar
sequence-item type=int)

I have AUTHENTICATED_USER in the parameter list for this SQL method as well,
though it may not need to be...

[Zope] A clarity problem...

2000-10-18 Thread Curtis Maloney

Green things,

After seeing yet another problem caused by the 'shorthand' of zope (using 
"foo" to mean expr="foo") I was wondering just how difficult it would be to 
REMOVE this useful, but confusing, feature.

Personally, I don't have a problem with it, any more.  But it seems a 
sizable portion of traffic on this list is because of people who do.  (True, 
it seems to have dropped off in recent weeks... is this because there is 
better doco, or have newbie numbers dropped?)

Even if it were a build time option or something...

just rambling...

[Zope] MacOS X Server + Python 1.5.2 + Zope 2.2.2

2000-10-18 Thread Jeff Forsyth


I currently have Zope and Python installed from the source code from the

excellent instructions by JShell.
But there is one little problemCPU Utilization shoots above 97% as
soon as I access the management screen.  If anybody has any ideas or
solutions.

Re: [Zope] Want to access ZClass Instance from external program

2000-10-18 Thread Ender

Sorry Jon, i've lead you down a slippery slope...

unlike ttw dtml-methods and the rest of zope which relies on the
security context soley, for a filesys python method to be exposed
through the web via xml-rpc it must have a doc string as well as have
proper credentials.

looking through propertysheets there is no 'proper' way to do this...
but i lead you down the path, so here is a way back out... 

there are a couple of options.

the easiest is to have dtml_method for this zclass that functions as a
helper method, 
like

dtml method -- external_helper

dtml-var "propertysheets.propertyMap()"

and in the client

x = root.subfolder.zclass.external_helper()
meta_info=eval(x)
print meta_info
({'id': 'vvv', 'type': 'int', 'meta': {}, 'mode': 'w'}, {'id': 'aaa',
'type': 'lines', 'meta': {}, 'mode': 'w'}, {'id': '', 'type':
'tokens', 'meta': {}, 'mode': 'w'}, {'id': '122', 'type': 'date',
'meta': {}, 'mode': 'w'}, {'id': 'ff', 'type': 'float', 'meta': {},
'mode': 'w'}, {'id': '', 'type': 'text', 'meta': {}, 'mode': 'w'})

or if external_helper returned propertyItems()

[('vvv', 1), ('aaa', ['']), ('', ['ss', 'aa1113', '3', '4']),
('122', DateTime('1900/01/01')), ('ff', 455.0), ('', '')]


if you're working with DateTime values in your propertysheets this will
be trickier as you'll need to either retrieve the property you want
independently or import Zope's DateTime module. also remember to set the
security on the helper method so its not helping somebody hack your
site.

the rest of the ways are exercises in wasting time... IMO

hope that helps out

Cheers

 Adding:
 try:
 for k in
 server.EBQ.id_company_apply_html.propertysheets.propertyIds():
 print "%-15s:" % (k)
 except Error, v:
 print server
 print "ERROR", v
 
 Gives me output, although I'm pretty shure it's not the right thing.
 Output:
title
base
 
 Both of these are properties of server.EBQ.

   Well, I've gotten xmlprclib and fixed it up so I can talk to my
   server.  So far I can retrieve objectIds and retrieve objects via an
   objectid, but I can't figure out how to get to the property sheets.
  
   Here's what I've got:
  
   server = Server( "http://jonprettyman.com" )
  
   print server
  
   for k,v in
   server.EBQ.id_company_apply_html.propertysheets.common.propertyItems():
   print "%-15s: %s" % (k, v)
   -jon
 
  hmmm...
 
  try and take it a step back and query the propertysheet container for
   names of propertysheets it contains. you'll need to check out the ZQR
  for the syntax, i think its propertyIds().
 
 
  you might also want to check that your authenticating with a user
  that has the proper security roles to query this info.
 
 
  if you're still having problems tell me and i'll play with it once i get
  back from work.

[Zope] OT: documentation systems.

2000-10-18 Thread Terry Kerr

Hi,

What documentation systems to people use for developing offline hardcopy
and online user documentation for applications that they develop?  I am
writing an extensive application using zope, and it needs a lot of user
documentation.  The system I use won't necessarily have to be web
based...I just wants something that is effect.

terry
