Produces this output:

[('Dodgers', 'Baseball')]

It seems that SESSION.invalidate() does not take immediate effect.
Seems like a developer could getinto trouble if the same script 
*both* does
SESSION.invalidate()
SESSION.set('something','somevalue').

Because after the script runs 'something' goes away when invalidate() 
finally
occurs.

And is the effect described above to be expected or do I have this 
wrong?

Thanks,
David

Sune,
Thats great! Thanks. 

My tests confirm this excerpt from Collectors/Zope/1594: 'The suggestion 
... to use "context.session_data_manager.getSessionData()" to get the 
session after the call to invalidate works - it gives me a new session 
object, and all is well :)'

Maybe you could use Zope's own DateTime, which can be
used in Scripts?

It's maybe not obvious, but implicit in the book is that the bindings
described for Scripts (container, context, etc.) apply only to Scripts,
and not for External Methods.

With External Methods, if the first argument to the function is
named "self", you can treat "self" as being equivalent to a python 
script's "context".

The request can be acquired as self.REQUEST.

The container of the external method... don't know. I never yet
had a case for an external method where I cared about the difference 
between context and container.

[Zope] script or external method ?

2005-04-03 Thread debugworld-linux
Hi all,
i'm a new user of Zope; i'm studing it since two weeks
and i think it's very
interesting, 'cause has the same power of j2ee
application server but it is 
much more easy to use!
While i was developing my first Zope application i
fell into this trouble: i
would like to write a script that create a folder, put
some file in it, and 
set some properties.
The code i've writed imports date object from datetime
package: this makes it
doesn't work like a script (python), so i adapt code
as an external method; but
when i run the method Zope says that he can't find
symbol 'container'... (mumble)

Well, 2 are the questions:
First, what i've to do to get service variable like
like container, context, request, etc.. ?
Which are differences between script and external
method coding? i remember that the zope book
indicates only imports.

Ok, thank you for reading..

Another vote for depreciation. I've looked at ZClasses, got confused,
and built a product to do the (quite simple) task in less time than I
spent scratching my head at ZClasses.

Personally I'd make them in to a Product for 2.10 and let anyone who
cares make it work with 2.10.

You need to keep a server-side list of the checkboxes and check which
ones aren't there. Web browsers don't send back checkboxes that aren't
checked - it's an HTML feature.

Re: [Zope] question about manipulating zcatalog query results

2005-04-03 Thread Ira Sher
Dieter,
I actually put the list in because one of the last suggestions in the
archives to repair the problem had to do with enclosing the assignment
in a list. The original code was essentially:
if sorton == 'id':
res=[(row.id.split().pop(), row) for row in results]
res.sort()
return res

This doesn't work, either, in zope 2.7.4 or 2.7.5 with python 2.3.4
and 2.3.5 respectively, as far as I can see.

Thanks for taking a look at things--I'll file a bug report (this is
stopping me from migrating a site into 2.7) as you suggested

The Zope Book (2.7 edition, online) definitely gives help
on python scripting -- retry please.

You find ZPT examples in the "examples" folder of
".../Products/PageTemplates". Import the "zpt_examples.zexp" into
Zope ("import/export").

Of course, no general ressource provides direct answers

The best method would be to know the meta types of all

"superValues" allows also a sequence of meta types (rather than

You have to walk from the object up to the Zope root by following the

'aq_parent' attribute giving you the parent object. There you can check

Is there any kind of method to query for security list of users?

Are you saying you want them in 2.10 but not necessarily beyond that (e.g.

It takes effort to support old features.  We have to weigh the benefits
against the cost of the feature.  For example, Zope 2.8 has been delayed
substantially due to the effort to keep them going.  If people find them
useful, then we can keep them, but we don't want to keep them otherwise.

ZClasses have a set of bugs (I know one) and weaknesses (I know
two or three) but all in all they are easier than the alternatives.

Thus, they still are a valuable feature...

[Zope] Get all user folder instances

I'm try to know the complet list of users in a Zope point with this

root
   acl_users (user folder)
   Folder1
  acl_users (Pluggable user folder)
  Folder2
 acl_users (Another user folder)
 Object1
 Object2
how could I retrive the list of user folders (in this case: /acl_users, 
/Folder1/acl_users and /Folder1/Folder2/acl_users)

It would be perfect something like: Object1.superValues('User Folder')
But this only retrive User Folder's not Pluggable user folder's nor

Is there any kind of method to query for security list of users?

-1 for DTML deprecation.  
It serves a different purpose that ZPT--
DTML is Logic+HTML 
ZPT is  HTML+Logic.

ZClasses are a feature that support through-the-web development.
Many people have found them useful in the past, but they have some
significant deficiencies, including:
- They can't be managed with file-system tools, especially
  revision control systems like CVS and subversion.
- They don't work well with Python development tools, like
  profilers and debugger.
- They aren't being actively maintained.
Most serious Zope developers stopped using them a long time
ago and are frustrated that we still expend resources keeping them
around.  For example, the release of Zope 2.8 has been delayed
by the requirement of getting ZClasses working with Zope 2.8.
We could choose to deprecate ZClasses.  If we deprecated them in
Zope 2.8, they would still work in Zope 2.8 and Zope 2.9, but
their support would be removed in Zope 2.10.  Would anyone be upset
if this happened?

My +1 for ZClasses deprecation
And +1 for DTML deprecation
Try to keep Zope simple
Simple = GOOD

Re: [Zope] Re: login page problem

2005-04-03 Thread Cliff Ford
I have been trying to think of ways of providing specific pointers, So, 
assuming you have a custom login page and a custom python script that 
processes that page:

In the Python script you could set a cookie for the District:
context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setCookie('District', district)
where district is the name of the District field in the form. The 
District parameter is then always available to your page templates and 
scripts in the REQUEST object.

At the end of your login script you would typically redirect to some 
specific page like this:

return context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect('aURL')
in exUserFolder you don't have to do anything else - the login works by 
magic, which is very confusing.

Now for the problems:
If the login is wrong the system will call /standard_error_message, so 
you have to customise that to send the user back to the login form with 
a Login failed message.

If the user bookmarks a protected page and tries to jump to it without 
being logged in, the system will call the login sequence starting in 
acl_users, so you have to customise that to call your own login page.

After the user has logged in, whenever you need to get the Username you 
would typically use a python script like this:

from AccessControl import getSecurityManager
return getSecurityManager().getUser().getUserName()

I'll definitely lookout for those ettiquetes.
My python script error got solved as i missed the silly ' ' in the
response.redirect statemnet.
I set the user and pwd request vars in sesson var.
Tried cookie crumbler and MysqlUserFolder and UserFolder also but they
all need to changed much and my requirements are diffrent.
I'm building a trial govt. site for stores management which was built
previously in ASP.
The login page takes the districtname , username and passwd .
according to the type of user different menus are displayed.
For this i need to have the  districtname , username and passwd 
carried on throughout the session.

my current requirement is to pass the session vars through the python
script which is the action of the login form.
I've gone through the zopebook but dint find much help there.
can u plz tell me where do i get to know about pythopn scripting done
in zope n ZPT examples.
i'm really sorry for my erronous language. please dont overlook theese
humble requests.

Apparently, you need some background reading...
Especially, you need to understand that HTTP is a stateless
protocol and *EACH* request must somehow perform its own
authentication. That's why usually login information is
(somehow) coded in a cookie.
You really should follow the advice to look at an existing
UserFolder (they are responsible for authentication).
You may need to adapt/extend an existing UserFolder.
