[Zope-dev] information disclosure vulnerability

2002-12-03 Thread Jerome Alet
Hi,

probably the HelpSys object shouldn't be available by default
to non-authenticated users, because it gives too much information 
on the currently installed products.

access any Zope site this way :

http://your.zope.site/HelpSys

and you'll learn what products are available on the server.

This can't lead to a direct compromise, but this gives way
too much information to anonymous users IMHO.

Tested today on several low and very high profile sites.

bye,

Jerome Alet

[Zope-dev] Problem with Zope 2.6.0 and ZShell

2002-11-19 Thread Jerome Alet
Hi,

Someone has reported to me a problem when running ZShell's latest

This seems to be deep in Python standard library.

Since I don't actually use Zope 2.6, does anyone have an idea on 
where the problem may come from ?

Does any of you use ZShell with Zope 2.6 ?

It works fine in 2.5.1 with Python 2.1.3, so something has
changed somewhere which breaks it.

ZShell's latest version is available from :

http://www.librelogiciel.com/software

Thanks in advance for any pointer.

 You're using restricted mode (the rexec module) and this apparently
 doesn't provide sys.hexversion.  This is a shallow bug; it's already
 fixed in Python 2.3 (CVS).
 ... 
 Probably those versions of Python didn't have the test for
 sys.hexversion; it's testing whether this is Python 2.2 or higher.
 
 A workaround would be to set sys.hexversion to 0x0202 (or to 0 if
 you're not sure which Python version you're using) before importing
 sre for the first time.

Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately I never import sre.

I import re, then rexec in the main program, 
then in the restricted code I add the 
os and os.path modules, and the resticted code
then import the glob modules and calls its glob
method.

So should I set sys.hexversion *before* my re and rexec
imports in the main program, or add the sys module and
a fake hexversion value in the restricted code ?

thanks in advance

Did you try to manipulate your ZODB with ZShell ?

You can also do it in a limited way through xml-rpc with the help
of Andy McKay's ZShellCLI, but ZShell commands can manipulate 
several (**many**) objects at a time, so the slowdown would be
minimal.

depending on what you want to achieve this may be useful.

get it from http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/

upcoming versions of ZShellScripts will provide easier xml-rpc

Re: [Zope-dev] A Modest Proposal Concerning Monkey Patches

 One question about zshell though, what is the box that is added left of the
 add product pulldown? Is it something that ABSOLUTELY has to be on the
 contents listing (i.e. something to do with creating or maintaining the
 objects listed?). Could it be backdoor'd into all_meta_types so that it,
 itself is listed in the pulldown, or could it have a ZMI tab of it's own
 (Both of these are easier than live patching the DTML)?

About ZShell : IF and ONLY if you want to use ZShell from the right
frame of the ZMI (manage_main) you currently have to modify manage_main
to put a text input field somewhere on it. Then running ZShell from there
applies ZShell commands to the current folderish object. (Of course you
can in any case use ZShell by pointing your web browser to it)

Of course ZShell could use a special tab, or another clever solution,
but IMHO this is really NOT the problem here.

The problem is not about ZShell, ExternalEditor, or any other Zope 
product, but if I understand correctly it is about extending, not
replacing, the Zope's main management interface. Jim please correct
me if I'm wrong.

That's why I proposed to add three loops in manage_main, to loop over
three different types of plugins. Each Zope product which wants to
extend the ZMI should register itself once as a ZMI plugin of 
three sorts :

- top ZMI plugin : displayed once at the top (ex : ZShell)
- line ZMI plugin : displayed once for each object 
  (ex : External Editor)
- bottom ZMI plugin : displayed once at the bottom
  (ex : xxx)
  
registering a ZMI plugin would be as simple as :

root.registerZMIPlugin(top|line|bottom, self) 

or :

root.registerTopZMIPlugin(self)
root.registerLineZMIPlugin(self)
root.registerBottomZMIPlugin(self)

self represents the object which wants to register as a ZMI
plugin. It would have to provide at least one of the
three methods :

TopZMIPlugin(self, obj)
LineZMIPlugin(self, obj)
BottomZMIPlugin(self, obj)

these three methods would have to render some html snippet, e.g. a 
form with a text input field for ZShell, or a nice icon with a link 
for External Editor. obj would be the object on which the method
applies, e.g. current folder, or current object in the object
listing.

This way manage_main could be rendered more powerful by just adding 
three dtml-in in it, and its aspect wouldn't even change in case
no ZMI plugin would be registered (which is the case with a base
Zope installation).

any comment ?

I forgot to add that root in this case means any unique
Zope object which we are certain is always present (e.g. the
root object or the ControlPanel), which would register all 
plugins as its own properties and could list all plugins
(that's why the ControlPanel is a good idea, but I don't know
if it would support this functionnality easily).

hoping this gets clearer now

You should use an external method to do that, because
Python Scripts are very restricted.

Just put your script in zope/Extensions and 
add an external method which points to this script
in the ZMI.

 I am going to experiment with ExternalEditor to see if I can dynamically

Couldn't there be a plugin mechanism for the management interface ?

I can see three sort of plugins :

   Top plugin :
   
   * will be displayed once at the top of the ZMI (below tabs)
 e.g. ZShell
 
   Line plugin :
  
   * will be displayed once for each object (on each line)
 e.g. ExternalEditor
   
   Bottom plugin :
   
   * will be displayed once on the buttons line
 e.g. Your_product_of_choice
   
Then every product would just have to register itself as a 
ZMITopPlugin, ZMILinePlugin, or ZMIBottomPlugin, or both. 

then the ZMI (main.dtml in fact) would just have to loop for each 
list of registered plugins whenever its needed : once at the top, 
once for each line listing objects, and once for the bottom. 

and if ZMILinePlugins could set a filter to be called only for some
metatypes this would be really cool !

Any comment ?

BTW Casey and others, if you need some help then I'd be pleased to 
do whatever I can, with a small amount of free time though...

 The problem is somewhat easier to solve for methods since you can detect
 whether they have already been replaced (with func_globals) and you can
 do the old run my code and call the old one trick. 

agreed, unfortunately...

except that what we want to patch there is the user interface

[Zope-dev] [PATCH] to Zope's Management Interface

2002-04-29 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi

the attached patch to apply to zope/lib/python/OFS/dtml/main.dtml allows
people who want to use ZShell to type ZShell commands directly from the
Zope's Management Interface. It should be transparent for people who don't
want to use ZShell at all.

to use this patch, you have to : 

  - download ZShell v1.42 from : 

  http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/

This is mandatory to stay in the ZMI when running commands, otherwise,
with older ZShell versions you'll enter ZShell user interface after
entering a command.

  - extract it in your home directory

  - cd to the Zope's home, e.g. /usr/lib/zope

  - type the following command (as root) :

patch -p0 ~myusername/zshell-1.42/main.dtml.patch

  - restart Zope

  Enjoy !!! (At least you should)

This was tested against Zope 2.5.0-4 (Debian package) but applying the
patch manually to other versions if needed is very easy.

As always any comment is very welcome.

PS : This procedure and the patch are now included in the ZShell 1.42
package.

 Please don't call this a hotfix. That term is reserved for products 
 that fix important bugs (especially security bugs) in Zope.
 
 A product can dynamically patch things, using the same mechanism as a 
 Hotfix. However, use of this mechanism does not qualify a product as a 
 Hotfix.
 
 The terms monkeypatch and dynamic patch have been used to describe 
 this mechanism. Please use one of these in preference to Hotfix.

Perhaps you could tell me if I have to use the App.Hotfixes interface or
not when doing such a not-Hotfix thing.

 If the ObjectManager class has already been initialized, then its 
 security declarations will have been applied to the preexisting main 
 DTMLFile object.
 
 In which case, you'll have to re-initialise the class, or process your 
 own security declarations, or something like that.

Ok, for now I will go with the patch, and I'll think more about this for
the next version.

[Zope-dev] RFC : AnyScripts

2002-03-08 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi,

I'm finally toying, after having stalled a too long time, 
with the creation of ZShellScripts, which would be for ZShell 
commands what PythonScripts are for Python...

The current, not yet available, incarnation is very highly 
based on PythonScripts, however I wondered if something 
better couldn't be done, because it seems to me to be an
unneeded repetition of most of the PythonScripts' code :

AnyScripts

AnyScripts would have a mandatory first line similar to the one
of any Unix shell script. By unix shell script I mean any script
which can be launched directly under Unix, not only bash or csh scripts,
but also perl, tcl, etc...

So an AnyScript would contain a first line like :

#! /scripts/interpreter

And the execution of this script in the context on which it
is applied would be delegated to another object present in
the path which was set on this very first line, i.e. 
/scripts/interpreter

So you could put any interpreter object of your choice in
for example the /scripts folder (no path would mean
search the interpreter object within the acquisition path)

For example PythonScripts would contain something like :

#! /builtins/python

or something like that.

Out of my mind I can already think of a ZShell interpreter
object, but why not other types of interpreter objects :

perl
tcl
C (the language ! Why not after all)
etc...


Each interpreter object would have at least two methods :

compile() = returns a code object from source code, if meaningful
 (otherwise returns the source unchanged), to be 
 stored in the AnyScript object which calls the
 compile() method.

execute() = executes the above code object. This method of the
 Interpreter object would be called by the AnyScript 
 object at run time, passing it the code object
 obtained with compile()

Of course all of this come straight out of my mind, and there would
probably be some problems I'm not able to understand yet...

Bound variables would be like for PythonScripts, with the exception of their
content would be the best format for the Interpreter in question, so
each Interpreter object would probably also have a bind() method which
would bind vars in the preferred format for the AnyScript object which
calls this method, and would be accessible using the
preferred syntax of the langage in question, e.g. :

for PythonScripts, vars like context would be Zope Objects, like they
currently are.

for ZShell AnyScripts, vars like context, would be paths to Zope 
Objects, and accessible with names like $context for example.

for C AnyScripts, vars would probably be something like PyObjects
pointers.

etc...

So AnyScripts objects would interact with their interpreter object of 
choice to compile their source code, bind their vars, then finally 
execute the code and get the result back.

What do you all think about this idea ?

Are any of you interested ?

I admit I don't know anything about the feasability of such a project
with other languages than ZShell, however if a single implementation
could be done, then anyone could add his own interpreter later...

PS : I'll do ZShellScripts anyway...

[Zope-dev] multiple database connections

2002-03-07 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi,

First I have to say I've not tried what is discussed below, I'm just
thinking about how this could be done...

Say I have several relationnal databases, both have an identical
structure.

Since these databases are identical, all my ZSQL methods can be used with
any of them.

So I plan to architecture my Folder tree like that :

Level0
|
+-- ZSQLMethod1
+-- ZSQLMethod2
+-- ...
+-- Level1-1
|   |
|   +-- DAConnection
|   +-- ... some stuf specific to this database ...
|
+-- Level1-2
|
+-- DAConnection
+-- ... some stuff specific to this database ...

Each DAConnection connects to a different database, but the id is
identical in order for the ZSQL methods to find it in whichever folder
they are called.

Now the problem is : one can't create a ZSQL method if there's no
DAConnection at the same level or above.

I suppose that creating all my ZSQL methods in for example Level1-1, then
cuttingpasting them in Level0 could work, but I find this very counter
intuitive. And if this would work, then the ZSQL methods wouldn't be
editable anymore since at Level0 there's no DA... 

So my question is : why the hell can't developpers create ZSQL methods as
they see fit, and be allowed to type-in the name of a possibly
not-yet-existing Database Connection ? After all, creating ZSQL methods
isn't for end users, so maybe Zope could trust developpers in knowing
exactly what they want to do...

Adding a free text field and allowing a Free entry in the drop-down list
in the ZSQL method creation form would help. The Test tab form could also
be modified to allow the developper to choose any DA at test time. 

Any comment or a solution to do this the right way ?

thanks in advance.

[Zope-dev] WebDAV locks disappearing...

2002-03-07 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi,

I've just tested webDAV access for the very first time using cadaver,
so maybe this is a known problem.

I've locked some objects using cadaver's lock command, and then opened
a browser keeping cadaver's connection opened.

then I've searched for this locks using the ZMI and also a method of 
my own.

All worked fine, the locks were found.

Then some time later I've retried to find the locks, and both the
ZMI and my method returned no lock. However in cadaver the locks
still seemed to be there... 

Then I've unlocked the objects and relocked them in cadaver and 
retried, this time the locks were found again...

I hadn't the time to do some more testing but I find this
surprising.

Does anyone have seen the same problem ?

FYI Zope 2.5.0 + Python 2.1.2 both up-to-date Debian Woody
packages.

bye,

Jerome Alet

 perhaps a problem with the lock timeout ? i think webdav clients
 can specify a timeout for locks.  

I don't think so since the client still saw the locks.
The Zope server however showed that they had disappeared, as

 for further investigations
 you can use the WebDAVLogger product to capture webdav related

 Unless I've misunderstood something (which is certainly possible), DC
 doesn't seem to have anything to lose by switching from a BSD style
 license to the GPL (or a GPL style license with an additional optional
 attribution clause), and quite a bit to gain.

I personnally would love to see both Python and Zope be GPLed.

However we should take into consideration the fact that this would 
mandate that any Zope product should be GPLed too, since in the FSF
view we link them to Zope.

The same for Python C extensions, we would link them to a GPLed software 
(Python), so they would have to be GPLed too.

That's why I'm pretty sure that unfortunately both Zope and Python 
would loose supporters if they were GPLed.

However I think a shell command could help, e.g. in ZShell

shell apt-get update
shell apt-get upgrade

This would do it, but you'll need to have an apt-get wrapper which would
have to be setuid root, so this would be very dangerous.

the best solution is of course to standardize on one file format,
and tweak Distutils to do what we want, then adding zope-apt-get to ZShell

[Zope] Problem with Cut and Paste

2001-01-30 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi,

First I'm sorry if this message was already received in this list, 
but I'm sure I've not received it to confirm, so I send it again, sorry
for the inconvenience.

I'm trying to modify OFS/dtml/main.dtml and OFS/CopySupport.py
in order to create a shortcut button to cut an object and paste it
in the parent object in one click, because I think this may
save lots of boring clicks, at least for me.

When I call the following method from the management interface
(OFS/dtml/main.dtml) then I receive this error:

"The data in the clipboard could not be read, possibly due to
cookie data being truncated by your web browser.
Try copying fewer objects."


But when I call if from a PythonScript it works fine.

My method, bound to a MoveUp button of my own:

--CUT---
def manage_moveupObjects(self, ids=None, REQUEST=None):
"""Moves the selected objects to the parent objets (e.g. Folder)"""
if ids is None and REQUEST is not None:
return eNoItemsSpecified
elif ids is None:
raise ValueError, 'ids must be specified'
if type(ids) is type(''):
   ids=[ids]
if hasattr(self, 'aq_parent') and hasattr(self.aq_parent, 'manage_pasteObjects') :
   cb_copy_data = self.manage_cutObjects(ids, REQUEST)
   return self.aq_parent.manage_pasteObjects(cb_copy_data, REQUEST)
---CUT---

If I call self.aq_parent.manage_pasteObjects with None as the
first parameter then it works fine from the management
interface but not from a PythonScript: I receive a
"No clipboard data found" error.

Please could someone explain me what the problem is ?
(I want it to work both from the management interface and from Python)

Thanks in advance.

 Jerome - most Web browsers have a maximum limit to the amount
 of cookie data that they will preserve from a given site 
 (usually around 4k as I recall, though this may vary from 
 browser to browser). If you have a lot of cookies from this 
 site already, your browser may be silently truncating the 
 cookie data sent. You could check this by looking at the 
 length of the data you get from manage_cutObjects as 
 cb_copy_data.

I've done this modification on a fresh 2.3.0-final installation
with no other products installed, on localhost, and no special 
content other than a folder and an index_html document 
to test my modifications. 

However I've tested what you suggested, after deleting my 
Netscape 4.75 cookies file
under Linux (2.2.18 kernel), the problem remains.

If I check the cb_copy_data length then it returns: 

16765 under Netscape and 14xxx under Lynx

With Lynx I've got the time to see a message saying 
"500: Internal Server Error" but then it disappears and 
the message about the cookie length appears.

Please could you test my method and see if it works
for you because I sincerely don't know why it doesn't work here ?

Thanks in advance for your time.

 I'm sorry but AFAIK there's nothing sending cookies to my browser from this
 installation. More than that, if I manually cut then paste the same
 object with the Cut and Paste buttons in the management interface 
 it works perfectly, and in this situation the cookie data should be
 exactly the same, correct me if I'm wrong.

I think I've found where the problem comes from, it has nothing to do with 
browsers or cookies (or me) AFAICT.

When manage_cutObjects() is called with REQUEST != None (i.e. when used
from the management interface) then instead of the cut objects it returns 
the value returned by manage_main(), this explains why my cb_copy_data was bad.

I've sligthly modified manage_cutObjects() to confirm that's the problem:

I've added a fourth parameter called noredirect to this method, this parameter
is a named one and defaults to 0, then at the end of this method, 
I've just done:

if not noredirect : 
return self.manage_main(REQUEST)
return cp

Now it works fine both from my new management interface (Zope's modified one) 
and from python scripts, with a method which does essentially the following:

cb_copy_data = self.manage_cutObjects(ids, REQUEST, noredirect = 1)
return self.aq_parent.manage_pasteObjects(cb_copy_data, REQUEST)

In other terms manage_cutObjects() wasn't designed to be immediately followed 
by a call to another method when used from the management interface.

Not sure if this is a bug, however it seems this is a common problem in Zope
manage_() methods.

hoping this will help

[Zope] Add this to Wish list

2001-01-24 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi,

Maybe I've not seen the easy way to do it, if so tell me I'm stupid, but
one thing would be very nice in the future version of Zope: 

A way to download Python Script's sources

Now I cut and paste but it's horrible.

Please could you include a button "Download Source" to the Python Script
edition form ?

Thanks in advance.

 Can't you use FTP to edit them?

I sincerely don't know because I've disabled FTP here.

I've faced the problem because I wanted to print a Python Script but
Netscape 4.76 (under Linux) hasn't printed the frame correctly.

 What about WebDAV?

don't use it either.

I want to use my own text editor (JERED), not because it's the best to
develop (far from that in fact) but because it works exactly like I want
it to work (which is normal since I've written it). Unfortunately it
doesn't handle WebDAV or any other Internet protocol... 

Anyway, thanks for all.

[Zope] Add this and possible bug, was Re: [Zope] Add this to Wish list

On Wed, 24 Jan 2001, Evan Simpson wrote:

 From: Jerome Alet [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Please could you include a button "Download Source" to the Python Script
  edition form ?
 
 Already done; There's a link in the paragraph below the text area, and above
 the upload form (in CVS).

Thanks a lot !

Now please another wish:

I've done what I describe below for my own work, but I think this might be
interesting to integrate it in Zope's core:

Wouldn't it be fine if you added three buttons on the same line as

Rename Cut Copy Delete Import/Export

in the manage_main page.

These three buttons would be:

[PARENT] = which moves the selected objects up to the parent folder.

[UP] and [DOWN] = which rename objects the following way:

Let's say I've got the following folder content:

MyFolder
|--Object1 (Title1)
|--Object2 (Title2)
|--Object3 (Title3)
|--Object4 (Title4)

Then pressing on the [UP] button having Object3 selected I'll obtain:

MyFolder
|--Object1 (Title1)
|--Object2 (Title3)
|--Object3 (Title2)
|--Object4 (Title4)

and the same for the [DOWN] button.

This might prove to be useful if you want to keep a certain structuration
based on the objects' ids, but be able to change their order without
modifying the ids.

I hope what I ask is clear and someone else sees an utility for that.

Doing that I've found a possible bug (maybe bug isn't the appropriate
word) with the manage_renameObjects() method:

this method accepts ids and new_ids as its arguments, ids is a list of the
old ids to rename, and new_ids the new ones. If you want to exchange 2 ids
(e.g. rename Object1 to Object2 and Object2 to Object1 which both exists)
then there's an exception saying that one of the ids already exist.

So instead of one call to manage_renameObjects() to rename both objects in
one pass, you have to call it three times: one time to rename Object1 to a
temporary id, one time to rename Object2 to Object1 and one time to rename
"tempid" to Object2.

My question is: Could you do something about this "small" problem ?

bye, and thanks for all !

[Zope] exchanging ids in a single transaction

2001-01-23 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi,

I'm currently thinking about a project in which I'd want to be able to
exchange 2 objects ids.

My plan is to save the first one's id
then rename the first one with the second's id 
then rename the second with the first's id

which is very classical.

I've got no code yet, but I want to know if there's a method to do all
this in a single transaction: if any error occur then I don't want any id
to be changed 

Is it possible and How ?

Should I use the UNDO machinery to do that or is it possible with another 
way ?

When I rename an object will my Data.fs grow (some objects may be 5 MBytes
large, but rarely) ?

Any tip will be appreciated.

[Zope] Downloading All Zope products

2001-01-11 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi,

I was bored by the current search interface for downloading Zope products:
you have to spend hours just clicking to download lots of products. I want
to put Zope and the maximum number of available products on a CDROM to be
able to do demos and so on to people not connected to the Net.

I've decided to do something to solve this problem, so I've created the
"Zope Complete Products List for easy batch download".

You can find it at http://www.zope.org/Members/jerome/ZCPL

This document dynamically lists all available Zope products (from
zope.org) and for every product put one and a single link to its latest
version archive.

It also explains how to download all Zope products available in
one Wget run, but please consider not making this an habit because the DC
folks don't seem to like that (see http://www.zope.org/robots.txt).

DC folks, if you find this document should be destroyed now then just do
it, I don't want to put your servers on their knees. 

Hoping this will help someone else. Any comment is very welcome.

[Zope] permissions problem upgrading to 2.3.0a1 from 2.1.6

2001-01-10 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi,

I've been using 2.1.6 for a long time without any problem, using a home
compiled python 1.5.2

Yesterday I've tried to upgrade to 2.3.0a1 the following way:

export each and every home made sites and products (ZClasses) from 2.1.6
stop 2.1.6
install 2.3.0a1 and start it
import each and every exported sites and products

(I've not tried using the same Data.fs as 2.1.6)

In all instances of a ZClass I've made, I used to (in 2.1.6) call a DTML
method from my browser which was protected in a way to display the
authentication box, allowing me to enter my username and password.

The username and password should give me a role created in the ZClass
instance constructor, this role is allowed to create and modify some
subobjects (another ZClass)

Since I've installed 2.3.0a1 then when I tell my browser to "call" the
DTML method the authentication box appears but I'm not able to
authenticate myself: it always give me an unauthorized exception.

Looking at zope log it gives me a 401 error on the DTML method.

If I modify this method to do nothing but return plain text the problem
persists. 

I've checked several times the username and password and I'm sure I've
typed them correctly.

In one instance of my ZClass I've tried to give all permissions to the
created role, but with no luck.

I've finally stopped 2.3.0a1 and relaunched the 2.1.6.
 
Does someone have any idea of where the problem may come from ?
Should I try to use the same Data.fs of 2.1.6 ?
Should I try to use 2.2.5 instead of 2.3.0a1 (I'd like to be able to use
PythonScripts) ?

Thanks in advance.

 Are your ZClasses pure Zope ZClasses or do they contain
 Python based products?

They contain some PythonMethods (not Scripts !), external methods,
but the method which poses a problem is pure DTML.

 There was a big shift in security policy during
 Zope 2.1.x to Zope 2.2.x.
 Many Python based products need to be changed in order
 to be compatible with the new security policy.
 This is excellently explained in a paper from Brian:
 "... Upgrading to Zope 2.2 ..."

I thought I've already read it IIRC, but I'll reread it more carefully ASAP.

You can do it in the manage_afterAdd() method of your class:

[Zope] seeking zope success stories in higher education

2000-11-24 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi,

We are planning to choose a platform to build a portal for distance
learning, with which we want to Build and Serve online multimedia courses,
online exams, calendars, keep track of students work and results, forums,
etc... 

I've got a list of criterias the platform must fill to be chosen, and at
first glance Zope fills at least 90% of them, and probably more if I look
more closely at the Zope products already available.

This is a big project, and some people
have already done some work using WebCT. I've read in the zope-edu wicki
the comment on WebCT, I already know that many people (at least 35) are
interested byt his subject because they are referenced as contributors in
this wicki, so I naively conclude I'm right in thinking that Zope is the
good choice for us.

So I have to write a document explaining the pros (and cons) of choosing
Zope, and I want some references of Zope uses in higher education if
possible.

Please could someone send me any testimonial on the (successful or not,
and why) use of Zope in higher education, the products which might help us
(we will at least need SquishDot, the LDAP adapter, the Oracle adapter,
the KnowledgeBase product, etc...). I'm also interested in testimonials
about the use of WebCT or similar products.

Thank you very much.

 I have a html form with several checkboxes. If one checkbox is

 Is there a way to force the variable to be a list, even if only one

 Use Zope for managing meta-data, or mayeb even better Zope + a fast DB tool

 Let Zope do its holy best for the 'virtual-object interfacing' jobs, let the
 others do their thing..

This may very well be the best solution, as far as I understand what
LocalFS is (I've not used it for now, however), because this may allow us
to set per-domain (Medicine, Maths, etc...) permissions under Zope, and do
all the presentation in Zope, while not being attached to Zope if we want

Ok, my script covered a very different problem: Zope instances were still

detect this situation because in this case -Z would be inefficient, and
tries to restart Zope after a timeout.

[Zope] problem with manage_permission

2000-07-26 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi,

I'm currently trying to create a python product.

I've got a class named MyClass, and in the __init__ method I've got the
following code:

self.manage_addFolder(id="data", title="MyClass instance's datas")
self._addRole('admin')  
self.manage_permission(permission_to_manage = 
  "Access contents information" , roles = [ 'Manager', 'admin' ]) 

MyClass inherits from Folder. 

I want to programmatically create a 'data' Folder and an 'admin' role in
each new instance of MyClass, and give this role and Manager (but not
Anonymous)  the "Access contents information"  permission.

The manage_addFolder and _addRole work fine, but the manage_permission
call gives me the following traceback: 

Error Type: AttributeError
Error Value: aq_acquire

Traceback (innermost last):

Surprisingly, if I delete the manage_permission line, restart Zope, re-add
an instance of MyClass (it works), then try to manually modify the
permissions using the MyClass instance's security tab, then it works
flawlessly. 

Does anyone have got an idea about where the problem may come from ?

thanks in advance.

 You can use:

Thanks to you, the syntax you gave me is accepted by the dtml parser, but
both

and 

dtml-in "ZopeFind(this(), obj_metatypes=['Folder'],

have given me an empty list.

If I don't use obj_expr then I've got the full recursive list of all
subfolders from the current folder.

Knowing that the Zope Search Interface allows me to type this expression
in the obj_expr field and gives me the correct result, what could be the
problem I encounter ? 

I know I could build a correct list by putting a test inside my dtml-in
loop, but I really prefer to understand why this doesn't work, and all I
can say now is: I don't understand at all.

Does anyone have an idea about where the problem comes from ?

 have:
 
 ROOT
  FolderA

No, what I want is the following list (with your example):

 Maybe I read it wrong, but I thought you said you wanted only folders
 with subfolders _in the current directory_.
 
 Maybe you need to rephrase your question?

Yes I'm sorry:

From a Folder, I want to recursively search for all "terminal" folders
(leaves) and build a list of these folders.

bye "terminal" folder, I mean a folder with no subfolder.

The following should give me exactly the result I want, if only I knew how
to write it in a way accepted by the dtml parser: 

dtml-let myresult="ZopeFind(this(), obj_metatypes=['Folder'],
search_sub=1, obj_expr=""" not objectValues(['Folder']) """ )"
  ...
/dtml-let

My actual solution is to do :

dtml-let myresult="ZopeFind(this(), obj_metatypes=['Folder'],
search_sub=1)"
  dtml-if "not objectValues(['Folder'])"
...
  /dtml-if
/dtml-let

but this solution is not good because if I need len(myresult) it returns
me the total number of folders, not the number of "terminal" folders, and
I find it stupid to have to build a new list in a dtml-in and then
loop over the new list in a second dtml-in because I know ZopeFind is
the solution: can do it, I've tested it with the Find tab.

My only problem is: What is that f... syntax ?

[Zope] hard dtml syntax problem

2000-07-11 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi want to call ZopeFind to find all folders in the current folder which
doesn't have got any subfolder.

the following query works but returns all folders, even those which have
got subfolders:

dtml-let myresult="ZopeFind(this(), obj_metatypes=['Folder'],
search_sub=1)"
dtml-in myresult
...
/dtml-in

So I play a little with the Zope Search Interface and I find that if I
type in "not objectValues(['Folder']" (without the double quotes) in the
obj_expr (Expression) field then this solves my problem.

my question is:

How to rewrite my ZopeFind with obj_expr="not objectValues(['Folder'])" ?

I've tried with or without quotes (single, double and even triple ones),
but with no luck: I've always got a Document Template Parse Error.

What is the correct syntax please ?

Actually I've added a test inside my dtml-in loop but I think it's stupid
because I need the exact result length and I don't want to rebuild a list
of matching results since the Zope Search Interface can do it.

thanks in advance for any answer.

 I think when you use single quote ' - it means to take as literal -

all of these come directly from the Python language.

you should read the Python tutorial (find it on python.org) and you'll
understand them all.

in short: 

' and " are equivalent

[Zope] a product with external methods

I'm currently creating a ZClass based product which includes some external

create a ZCatalog instance, then I add the following line to MyZClass_add
method:

dtml-call "manage_addZCatalog('Catalog', 'My Catalog')"

I think I've called this method correctly according to the ZQR, so I can't
understand why it doesn't work.

I've searched on this list archives on egroups about "adding ZCatalog" or
"add ZCatalog" and I've not found anything useful.

then I've searched for manage_addZCatalog and I've applied the patch sent

please could someone help me ?

[Zope] questions on creating a ZClass

2000-07-06 Thread Jerome Alet

I'm currently trying to create a ZClass (based on ObjectManager) from a
Folder I've got. 

This folder contains a ZCatalog named Catalog.

If I copy and paste all existing methods and objects into my ZClass, do
what must be done (adapt the addForm and add method, define a
propertysheet, set the Views, etc...), and create an instance of my new
ZClass somewhere it works but I can't view my instance: if I choose View
I've got an Unauthorized error about Catalog. 

If I create the same ZClass without including the Catalog, then
instanciate the ZClass, then add the Catalog manually to the instance,
then it works fine ! 

Please could someone explain me ?

thanks in advance.

Re: [Zope] problem with ZopeFind and objectValues

2000-07-04 Thread Jerome Alet

I can now answer in part:

On Mon, 3 Jul 2000, Jerome Alet wrote:

 dtml-in "ZopeFind(this(), obj_metatypes=['Folder'])"
   dtml-var id - dtml-var title
 /dtml-in
 
 gives me the following error:
 
 """Unauthorized
 
 You are not authorized to access id."""
 
 If I set a proxy role of manager to this dtml-method that doesn't change
 anything, it still doesn't work.

In fact if I give this method a proxy role of Manager then it works fine
if I access directly to this method from my browser. However if I call
this method from inside another dtml method then it seems that the method
loose its proxy role of manager.

e.g.: 

say mymethod has a proxy role of manager and a method called anothermethod
contains somewhere: 

dtml-var mymethod

then if anothermethod has no proxy role at all:

browsing: http://myserver/myfolder/mymethod works fine.

browsing: http://myserver/myfolder/anothermethod doesn't work
(Unauthorized).

I have to give the proxy role of Manager to anothermethod too if I want
both to work correctly.

Is it a feature or a bug ?

thanks in advance.

define your HTML form as:

form action="your_dtml_method" method="POST" 
  enctype="multipart/form-data"
  Filename: input type="file" name="myfile"
/form

then in your_dtml_method REQUEST['file'] should contain your 
file contents IIRC.

good luck

[Zope] Is there a bug in Zope ? (was Re: [Zope] problem testing permissions)

2000-06-28 Thread Jerome Alet

On Tue, 27 Jun 2000, Jerome Alet wrote:

if I replace this with:

then it works fine !!!

If I display AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles() then when logged in as
superuser it returns "('manage',)" and when logged in as jerome in a
subfolder (see my previous message) then it returns "['Manager']"

Please could someone explain me what's the problem ? I suppose I AM the
problem ;-)

PS: I run Zope 2.1.6 with patches.

thanks in advance.

No. That's what you are told it is.

[Zope] ZClass question

2000-06-05 Thread Jerome Alet

Hi,

I'm currently trying to store all of the Medicine School (I work for) 
events in Zope, using the Calendar product to store them.

I've created from my browser a Zclass which has a propertysheet and some
properties in it, and some DTML methods. I've called this class
GenericEvent. 

I want to create 4 or five other Zclasses which only differ from the first
one by their meta type and the value (not the name) of one of their
properties. For example I want to create ExamEvents, CoursesEvents, and so
on...

Then I want to give permissions to some people to add some type of events
in the database.

For example I want John to be able to add (and delete) both GenericEvents
and ExamEvents, while I want Jane to only be allowed to add CoursesEvents,
and not be allowed to delete CoursesEvents she hasn't created.

I've created my GenericEvent ZClass and it works fine, thanks to Jason
Spisak, but now when I try to create other ZClasses deriving from this
ZClass I can't choose it as the base class for the new classes.

Can I do that from my browser (How ?) or must I do it in python ?

If it's not possible I plan to add the event type as a property of
GenericEvent, but then how can I deal with the different permissions I
need ?

thanks in advance for any hint.

[Zope] a patch for the calendar tag 0.9.10

2000-06-04 Thread Jerome ALET

Hi there,

here's a patch for the Calendar 0.9.10 product.

This version allows people to define their own
day or month names instead of the default 
english names.

This is very useful if you want to setup a 
web calendar in another language than English.

In French, some month names contain accented letters,
represented in HTML by character entities like eacute;
for example.

The Calendar product doesn't cut the month names
correctly in regard to these entities, especially
in week mode when a week was between two months.

Here's a patch to correct the problem.

hope this helps.

bye,
Jerome Alet

Re: [Zope] a patch for the calendar tag 0.9.10

2000-06-04 Thread Jerome ALET

Sorry, I've created a new patch, because in my previous one I've
forgotten to correct the day mode too.

The problem happens in day mode as well as in week mode, even
if the week wasn't between two months.

Sorry for the incoveninence, you'll find the new patch attached 
to this message.
