[Zope] Re: Newbee interfaces and implementations
So you recommend that I should just skip them as long as I'm on Zope2? I would be happy with that. I find them confusing when they don't really interface with but just document my methods. Some of the reasons interfaces can be helpful are (1) for documentation purposes and clarity for code if someone needs to look at it, (2) if other classes might use the same interface, you help make sure you're sticking to a common interface so that the methods in different classes do similar things, and (3) you can use methods like isImplementedBy so that certain templates, code, etc. does something with an object or class if it uses the interface -- what you call really interfacing. There's many examples of how (3) might work. It seems like for now that (3) won't be important to you and (2) might be. Personally I define interfaces for some classes (especially tools) to help with the documentation, but agree with you that for other straightforward classes they don't help that much with documetnation.

Re: [Zope] External Methods, Proxy Roles, and Executable Security
Great, thanks much.
Is there much buzz about this in CMF developer land? It seems like
proper proxy roles handling, and like you said what Zope 3 security
will do to it, are pretty important and will come up quite often (all
I was doing, after all, was trying to move an object upon workflow
change!).
Peace,

In CMFCore 1.5.4:

an object from a PortalFolder, he gets an error because the following
line in CMFCore.PortalFolder fails:
if not sm.checkPermission(DeleteObjects, parent):
raise AccessControl_Unauthorized
This is even the case if sm.checkPermission is changed to
_checkPermission, which takes into account proxy roles. The external
method does not allow proxy roles attached, so I can't just add a
Manager proxy role.
Because I called the pasting in an external method, I expected it to
go through without security problems! Is this a right expectation /
and a bug, or a wrong expectation?
It is the fate induced by explicit security checks.
It will get much worse when the Zope 3 security comes into
Zope 2 land: then even trusted code will have to deal with
security proxied objects.
We currently work around the problem that trusted code
cannot have proxy roles with the following class:
class ProxyContext:
def __init__(self, proxy_roles):
self._proxy_roles = tuple(proxy_roles)
def getOwner(self): return None
getWrappedOwner = getOwner
This class emulates an object with proxy roles and can be pushed
onto the SecurityManagers context stack like so:
sm = getSecurityManager()
context = ProxyContext(proxy_roles)
sm.addContext(context)
try:
# do something with proxy_roles
...
finally: sm.removeContext(context)
Note, that I had to fix (in a local copy) CMF's _checkPermission
for this to work:
It had decided to emulate Zope's proxy role checking only
approximately -- incorrectly for a None owner.
My fix looks like this:
security.declarePrivate('_checkPermission')
def _checkPermission(permission, obj):
Check if the current user has the permission on the given object.
# this code is ported from ZopeSecurityPolicy.checkPermission
roles = rolesForPermissionOn(permission, obj)
if isinstance(roles, basestring):
roles = [roles]
context = getSecurityManager()._context
# check executable owner and proxy roles
# this code is ported from ZopeSecurityPolicy.validate
stack = context.stack
if stack:
eo = stack[-1]
owner = eo.getOwner()
if owner is not None:
if not owner.allowed(obj, roles):
return 0
# DM 2005-09-07: no reason to do it differently from Zope
# It accepts proxy_roles even for a None owner
##proxy_roles = getattr(eo, '_proxy_roles', None)
##if proxy_roles:
##if obj is not aq_base(obj):
##if not owner._check_context(obj):
##return 0
##for r in proxy_roles:
##if r in roles:
## return 1
##return 0
proxy_roles = getattr(eo, '_proxy_roles', None)
if proxy_roles:
if obj is not aq_base(obj):
# DM 2005-09-07: do it as Zope does
#if not owner._check_context(obj):
if owner is not None and not owner._check_context(obj):
return 0
for r in proxy_roles:
if r in roles:
return 1
return 0
return context.user.allowed(obj, roles)
If you are interested in using this approach, you
should probably file another CMF bug report about the
wrong handling of proxy roles in _checkPermission.
I explicitely allow you to attach the fix given above.

Re: [Zope] VIRTUAL_URL Failure
Two main questions: (1) Does anybody *have* good documentation on VIRTUAL_URL and how it interacts with CookieCrumbler and VirtualHostMonster? (2) Does anyone know how to debug VirtualHostMonster or other Python libraries while running a Zope instance (it lives in Python not in Zope, so I don't know if I change the code there if those changes will actually get executed)? For people who care to read more about what I think is going on: Well, where is VIRTUAL_URL documented? Why doesn't Plohn do something sane if it's not there? It's not Plone's issue from what I can tell. CookieCrumbler, which lives in CMF, does do something sane if VIRTUAL_URL is not there -- it tries to create a substitute URL. VIRTUAL_URL is set by the VirtualHostMonster. Does anyone know how to debug it? Because it is in the python directories used to build Zope, not in a Zope product which I know how to debug. (Is there a way to restart python to register changes in VirtualHostMonster.py)? Here is what I can tell of what is going on: (1) VIRTUAL_URL is supposed to return the actual URL when there is a Virtual Hosting Monster, for instance http://subdomain.mydomain.org instead of http://ip:port/path/to/subdomain/object or http://mydomain.org/path/to/subdomain/object. (2) There's an Apache rewrite rule set to transform URL requests like http://subdomain.org to http://ip:port/VirtualHostBase/http/subdomain.mydomain.org before they get sent into Zope. (3) When VirtualHostMonster receives a request like http://ip:port/VirtualHostBase/http/subdomain.mydomain.org, it is supposed to return the currect object at http://ip:port/path/to/subdomain/object and set a variable VIRTUAL_URL http://subdomain.mydomain.org in the REQUEST variable. (4) When navigating to an authenticated-only page, CMFCore's CookieCrumbler sets a came_from variable to remember where to go. To set the came_from variable, it first looks for VIRTUAL_URL. If it doesn't find it, it uses another method to set came_from -- but this returns an URL, and one that does not work. (5) During login in Plone to a authenticated-only page, it uses CMFCore's CookieCrumbler came_from variable. I'm wondering if CookieCrumbler is supposed to set VIRTUAL_URL given that there's a VHM installed and doesn't? It's probably some code in the publisher or vhm. Maybe it's something that didn't get merged from a branch or the trunk. Your best bet is to come up with minimal (ie: no plone, no cookie crumbler, etc) way to reproduce this and file a bug report in the collector. Oh, and grab yourself a copy of grep and see where this should be defined ;-) cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Re: [Zope] Re: VIRTUAL_URL Failure
I fear you fight a CookieCrumbler bug. Vicious monsters, indeed. Thanks for the REQUEST['URL'] tip. It's a pretty good workaround for now, although not exactly right. If I am going to an object http://here.org/object with default page or default method default, then REQUEST['URL'] equals http://here.org/object/default instead of http://here.org/object This works for purposes of redirecting after login but isn't exactly what should happen.

Re: [Zope] VIRTUAL_URL Failure
Zope 2.8.1 In Plone 2.1.1, when I try to access a page Anonymous does not have permission to see, it redirects to a login. While doing so, it sets a came_from variable with the URL I'm trying to access. It sets an ugly http://my.domain.org/VirtualHostBase/http/my.domain.org:80/contentPages which does not work. Plone folks suspected this was a Zope problem. When Plone sets the came_from, it draws on the REQUEST variable. It first looks to see if there is a VIRTUAL_URL in the REQUEST variable, but it doesn't find one.

Re: [Zope-dev] dtml-in batching badly
No it's not a bug(in code) but a feature. May You call it a bug (in usability), though. What causes it is that the orphan value defaults to 3 when not explicitely set. See the online help for in tag.

[Zope] migration issues - 2.2.4 - 2.30
Hi there, I've been developing an application on Win32 using Zope 2.2.4 and a Gadfly database. Now that I've got a working prototype I will me rebuilding my app on Zope 2.3 in Unix using a MySQL database... tomorrow. I expect the process won't be a simple job i.e. copying pasting *won't* do the trick ;-) I just have a few questions about the problems I expect to run into: 1- Python methods/scripts. In changing my python methods to python scripts will I need to make any drastic changes or will they perform just the same if I have the *exact* same content in them? 2- MySQL DBA. I'm not responsible for installing Zope or the MySQL DBA on the Unix machine but from what I understand, people have had a few problems working with MySQL DBA. What problems can I expect? 3- I would like to backup what I have done on my home machine and copy it to another windows machine at uni (that I can reference when I'm building on the Unix version). I don't have access to the Unix machine from outside uni so, apart from copying the source into text files, is there a way I can *copy* Zope's files and place them on another machine? Hmm... I expect I'll be bombarding the list with questions these coming weeks.

[Zope] a little problem - $1 reward!
Hi there,
If someone could have a quick look at this I would really appreciate it!
I cannot for the life of me understand this... I have a DTML method
taking in parameters for use with sendmail, which when I *display*
appear correct but when I *send* are altered slightly. I know where the
problem lies (it's obvious) but I can't see what the problem is.
Here's my DTML method:
dtml-var standard_html_header
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('recipients',[])"
dtml-in "REQUEST.form.items()"
dtml-if expr="_['sequence-key'] in
('message','sender','senderEmail','subject')"
input type="hidden" name="dtml-var sequence-key"
value="dtml-var sequence-item"
dtml-else
dtml-call "recipients.append(_['sequence-key'])"
/dtml-if
/dtml-in
dtml-sendmail mailhost="MailHost"
To: dtml-var "_.string.join(recipients,'@cs.strath.ac.uk,
')"@cs.strath.ac.uk
From: dtml-var sender
Reply-To: dtml-var senderEmail
Subject: dtml-var subject
X-Mailer: ZAPHOD Mail Client V1.0
dtml-var message
/dtml-sendmail
h2Cheers, dtml-var sender!/h2
pYour message has been sent./p
^
My problem lies with the To/From parts in the sendmail. When the
message has been sent...
-=-==--=-= I should see:
Subject: Hello
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 08:30:11 +
From: Lee
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-=-==--=-= but I see:
Subject: Hello
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 08:30:11 +
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] why is the @cs.strath.ac.uk still
appended?
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
dtml-var sender gives me 'Lee'
Clearly, there is a problem with :
To: dtml-var "_.string.join(recipients,'@cs.strath.ac.uk,
')"@cs.strath.ac.uk
From: dtml-var sender
i.e the @cs.strath.ac.uk is still lingering... but why? without the
'@cs.strath.ac.uk' at the end of the var the last email address would
not be complete i.e. it be "lreilly".
even when i put another tag in place of from, e.g. 'X-Mailer:' is still
renders From='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. I know it's asking a lot but can
anyone tell me what the problem is? I'm confused and the coffee isn't
helping anymore!
- Thanks,
Lee

[Zope] zope + img tags + javascript
Hi there, I'm using JavaScript primarily for form evaluation, multiple submit buttons and various other piece of client-sided trickery but I've encountered a problem. I've seen something similar mentioned before but I can't find it in my archive. I *hate* image maps but I'd like to use one so how can I add the details to the dtml-var imageName? I'd also like to add various bits 'n bobs of JavaScript to some of the images that I am using. Adding img src="http://hostname:8080/exactLocation" is not a possible alternative for me. Can anyone help? The similar previous post that I am referring to concerned the resizing of images in DTML. If someone could tell me how to do this then I expect I could adapt it to reference my image map. I think it would be possible to take in the var and pass it to a python method, which would then alter it and pass it back... but surely there's an easier way?

[Zope] dtml-let + 'expr=' possible?
Hi,
I have one quick question about the 'let' tag;
dtml-var expr="classcode_to_table(classcode)" gives me the value
'class52225'. Is there anyway I can use the 'let' tag to push this onto
the namespace stack? I was thinking something *like*;
dtml-let table expr="classcode_to_table(classcode)"
The python method, classcode_to_table, takes in a string, alters it
and returns it. This is going to be an argument for some ZSQL methods
and some Python methods.
Thanks,
Lee

[Zope] python method's self parameter - calling from DTML with additional args
Hi,
I've got a problem with displaying output from one of my python methods,
which has 'self' as one of its input parameters. I have a DTML method,
which sets up a table using one Python method to create the table
headers (the first row) and another Python method to create the table
data (one row per result set). I think my problem can be solved (maybe)
by asking how to call a python method from DTML when 'self' is one of
the arguments expected...
Here's a rough idea of my DTML method:
table
tr
dtml-let classcode="52.225" * just for testing the 2nd python method
directly
dtml-var index_table_headers * python method returning first row
/tr
dtml-in get_matrics_from *return a list of matric numbers (will be
used as an argument for next python method).
tr
*** what here to get result(s) from 'final' method using matric and
classcode as arguments? ***
/tr
/dtml-in
/table
I've *called* other methods, where self has been in the parameter list
without specifying it but in these cases it was the only parameter and
there was nothing being returned. Now, most of my errors are 'not enough
arguments; expected 3'.
I'm hoping that some sleep, some coffee, a reply or a combination of the
three will give me the answer!
Thanks a lot,
Lee

later ;-) :

[Zope] dictionaries in python *methods* :-o
Thanks, Steve. This'll do nicely ;-) BUT...
For some strange reason the following doesn't work in my Python *method*:
dict = {}
dict["Lee"] = 1
Error:
Error Type: Python Method Error
Error Value: Forbidden operation STORE_SUBSCR at line 3! -- ?
Which seems very strange. No matter what I try and store I get the same error.
dic = {'two': 2, 'three': 3}
return dic['two']
The above works fine but when I try and add to it I get the same error. If this is a
simple mistake I'm making then I plead stupidity!!! Can someone tell me how to do
this in my python method? I've tested all my code in IDLE and it works fine - why not
in Zope?
Answers on a postcard to the usual address!
Thanks very much, guys.
- Best regards,
Lee

Hi Lee,
You could use a dictionary for this:
vars = {}
while (p!=0):
vars['p'+`p`] = string.replace(component[control], ",", "")
p=p-1
control=control+1
then 'vars' will contain keys (e.g., 'p1', 'p2' etc.. ) and corresponding values.
If that's totally not what you want.. a little more context would help.

[Zope] if-else using ZSQL resultset sendmail query
Hi, I've got a few questions, which may be answered by saying, "Not possible"! Any feedback would be appreciated. get_testclass_details is a ZSQL method returning user data from a table. I display the data (strangely enough) in an HTML table and I want alternating rows to have different background colours. I figure that the best way to do this is to obtain the resultset number (i.e. is it the 1st, 2nd or 3rd result row) and do something like the following; dtml-in... if (the result set number % 2 == 0) bgcolour is white ... else bgcolour is grey ... /dtml-in... Is it possible to obtain the resultset number? Also, re: sendmail. I still haven't managed to figure out why it's not posting messages to newsgroups. Maybe some folks at digicool could let me know if this isn't supported? Previous message was: I have another question re: sendmail, which I'd be grateful if someone could answer. Am I correct in saying that sendmail does not support newsgroup postings? Adding the following to my message seems to work but it is not being posted on the newsgroup... To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Groups: uk.local.glasgow *and* Newsroups: uk.local.glasgow It sends the mail to me; the group is listed in the header file under 'Newsgroups' when I view *my* received message but it is not getting to the newsgroup.

[Zope] SQL query result set - what data structure how to access [(elements)]?
Hi,
I'm using a python method to query my database as follows, where I need
to use the result set to generate some HTML. I'm interested in result[0]
and result[1] as listed below;
* return result[0] gives me:
[{'name': 'PRACTICALS', 'type': 's', 'null': None, 'width': None},
{'name': 'TUTORIALS', 'type': 's', 'null': None, 'width': None},
{'name': 'ASSIGNMENTS', 'type': 's', 'null': None, 'width': None},
{'name': 'BONUS', 'type': 's', 'null': None, 'width': None}]
* return result[1] (or just 'return result') gives me:
[(1, 16, 9, 1)]
What kind of data structure is this? First impressions suggest that it's
a tuple but why the extra brackets?. I need to access each element but
how do I do this? I've tried all sort of tuple/list
conversions/operations and have had no success.
If the result is [(1, 16, 9, 1)] how can I assign...
a=1st element i.e. 1
b=2nd element i.e 16..?
I can convert it to a string, parse it and obtain the results that way,
which is simple enough, but surely there's a way to access the element
directly? Does anyone know?
Thanks,

Re: [Zope] sendmail / python list parameter - DTML method
Thanks again Dieter! Everything's working just about perfect but can I ask
you one quick question?
When a form is submitted the current REQUEST object's form data is cleared
and repopulated using the new form input parameters, yeah? Is it possible
to *not* clear it?
Why do I want to do this? Well, I've used dtml-call
"REQUEST.set('recipients',[])" to help me display an email message in a
form, which when submitted will be sent using sendmail.
Email message displayed here
form action="method4"
input type="hidden" name="subject" value="dtml-var subject"
input type="hidden" name="sender" value="dtml-var sender"
input type="hidden" name="senderEmail" value="dtml-var senderEmail"
input type="hidden" name="message" value=dtml-var message""
*** some code here to pass the recipient *list* as a parameter / stop the
REQUEST object from being cleared ***
*** e.g input type="hidden" name="recipients" value=dtml-var
recipients" or input type="hidden" name="recipients" value=dtml-var
recipients:list" produces the wrong results... ***
input type="submit"
/form
If the list holds ['ltyler', 'lreilly'] then displaying it in the next
method using dtml-var recipients produces ['ltyler', (i.e. the first
element). Do you know how can I get round this?
I've CC's this to the newsgroup in case someone there can help.
Thanks very much,
Lee

You have to enclose "recipients" in '...'.
Otherwise, it is interpreted as a variable, which does not (yet) exist.

Re: [Zope] sendmail implementation problem
Hi Dieter,
Thanks again for your help :)
I'm having some trouble creating the new variable in REQUEST - maybe you
know why?
The REQUEST object holds:
KEY ITEM
lreilly lreilly (recipient - '@cs.strath.ac.uk' is appended)
ltlyer ltyler (recipient - '@cs.strath.ac.uk' is appended)
subject subject
sender sender
message message
senderEmail senderEmail
But when I add in the code to create 'recipients' in the REQUEST object
and then try and view REQUEST's contents again I get an error:
Error Type: NameError
Error Value: recipients
Here's the method:
``,,
dtml-var standard_html_header
dtml-call "REQUEST.set(recipients,[])"
dtml-in "REQUEST.form.items()"
dtml-if expr="_['sequence-key'] in

[Zope] sendmail implementation problem
Hi, This is more of an implementation problem that anything else, which is probably starightforward enough for those with more experience that myself. The simplified version is as follows: Form A collects usernames and send these to Form B. Form B takes the input parameters from the REQUEST object and places them in 'hidden' form inputs with name="username" and provides some input textfields prompting for 'subject', 'message', etc. These are submitted to Form C Form C displays all the parameters in the REQUEST object and gives a view of what the email will look like, e.g. +---= | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Subject: Zope | | | | My message here | | | +---= Everything (bar the recipients) can be specifided using dtml-var subject, etc. as required but as the usernames in the hidden field are passed into a method, which does not know their names; I have to get them from the REQUEST object again. I have produced the following code to collect all the usernames (used to creat recipients email address); dtml-in expr="REQUEST.form.items()" dtml-if expr="(_['sequence-key'] == 'message') or (_['sequence-key'] == 'message') or (_['sequence-key'] == 'sender') or (_['sequence-key'] == 'senderEmail') or (_['sequence-key'] == 'subject')" dtml-elsedtml-var name="sequence-key": dtml-var name="sequence-item" /dtml-if /dtml-in So displaying the email is easy but how can I send this to my sendmail method? 1 - Simply collect all the usernames, variables in hidden fields and send them onto sendmail? 2 - or is there a way to CALL my sendmail method for each individual recipient (email address) from this method simply by hitting a SUBMIT button? Which is the easiest/most efficient way to go about this? Ideally, I want the email dislayed (like it's formatted above) and then just simply hit a submit button to send it to multiple recipients. I'd rather not have something like 'lee.reilly@ntlworld, [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the 'To:' field - just multiple, individual emails. It's late - but I hope that makes sense(?). Thanks very much for any guidance you can give me! - Best regards, Lee -- Lee Reilly mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ```` HAVE SKILLS; WILL TRAVEL.

[Zope] renaming python input params in DTML
Hi, I am having a problem passing in a variable to a Python method, which is obtained from the REQUEST object - I'd really appreciate someone's insight into how to correctly go about this. I have a form that submits a parameter named '9728430xp0xclasstest' with a value = 7 to a DTML method. I have a Python method expecting 'text' as a parameter so I want the DTML method to send 'text' onto this with a value = the value of the original parameter appended to name (i.e. 9728430xp0xclasstestx7). So text=9728430xp0xclasstestx7 Does that make sense? The Python method, testSQL, returns 'result'. As I recently found out, I have to make to make use of the REQUEST object to obtain these parameters. The following snippet produces the correct value (9728430xp0xclasstestx7)... dtml-in expr="REQUEST.form.items()"dtml-var sequence-keyxdtml-var sequence-item/dtml-in ... but how can I can pass this as 'text' to my Python method?

[Zope] REQUEST object - obtaining variables from
Hi, I am having some problems with the REQUEST namespace/object. I understand that if I submit form data then it can be retrieved using the REQUEST object. I have looked at Chapter 7 (Advanced DTML) for support but I'm still no closer to success. I have a DTML method, which passes an unknown number of arguments with unknown names to another method.

[Zope] [python] converting int to string?
Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me here... Is there any way to convert an integer to a string data type in Python? I see there is a facility for accomplishing the reverse conversion (string - int)? I have 4 integers, which are primarily used to handled the logic in the program below (in the while loops). The value of this integer must also be added to a string (as a table column name), which will be used to create a SQL query. Here's a rough sketch of the program: p = 2 # no.of practicals t = 2 # no.of tutorials a = 2 # no.of assignments b = 3 # no.of bomus marks c = "52225" SQL = "CREATE TABLE CLASS" + c + "\n" SQL = SQL + "( \n" SQL = SQL + "matric float, \n" SQL = SQL + "fname varchar, \n" SQL = SQL + "lname varchar, \n" SQL = SQL + "uname varchar, \n" while p 0 : SQL = SQL + "p" + p + " integer, \n" # cannot add type "int" to string p = p - 1 while t 0 : SQL = SQL + "t" + t + " char(1), \n" t = t - 1 while a 0 : SQL = SQL + "a" + a + " integer, \n" a = a - 1 while b 1 : SQL = SQL + "b" + b + " integer, \n" b = b - 1 while b 0 : SQL = SQL + "b" + b + " integer \n" # ',' taken out from last query b = b - 1 SQL = SQL + ")" Of course, I could have a load of statements in the while loops like: if p = 1: pString="1" ... etc. But that would look hella ugly! Another alternative would be to send both the integer value and a string parameter (converted by Zope) in the calling DTML method. This is okay - but is there a better way to do it? As usual, thankyou very much in advance. Is this off-topic BTW?

[Zope] SQLs from Python strings
On first impressions this may look like a homework assignment question
but I can assure you it isn't! I'm having difficulty trying to explain
this (hence the strange subject line ;-) but I hope someone can offer me
some advice...
I have four attributes (A, B, C, D) and each is an integer say, between
0 and 9.
I need a method to create a table with the following columns:
Name
Age
[if A=3] then A1, A2, A3
[if B=1] then B1
i.e. if A=3 and B=1 and C D =0 then 6 columns will be created.
I already have the code (well, the logic) to do this but what is the
best way to do it. ZSQL methods can't handle such logic, right?
I was thinking maybe passing the parameters into a python method to
build a "CREATE TABLE..." string... but can this be used to actually
execute the query?
I don't know if I have explained this well enough.
Here's the logic (no particular language and A,B,C,D = P,T,A,B)
int p = PRACTICALS;
int t = TUTORIALS;
int a = ASSIGNMENTS;
int b = BONUS;
string classAndCode = CLASSCODE;
String createDB = "CREATE TABLE " + classAndCode + " ( "
while (p != 0)
{
String createDB = create DB + "p" + p + "integer, " // e.g. p0, p1,
p2, etc.
p = p-1;
}
while (t != 0)
{
String createDB = create DB + "t" + t + "varchar, "
t = t-1;
}
... etc
Okay, say I have a python method, which returns an String (an SQL CREATE
TABLE statement). How could I execute this?
Thanks very much in advance.
Lee
PS: Alex, I managed to get the COUNT var to work. The solution was
simply a good night's sleep and a large mug of coffee in the morning.

[Zope] mySQL DA on Win32
Hi, Zope is currently being installed on the Unix machines at my uni but it won't be available for a while. However, I have set up a mySQL database in the Dept. and installed Zope on a Dept. machine (Windows 95). I can only access the database from uni so I must have a database adpater setup on this machine. I have seen the mySQL DA on Zope.org but I understand that it "does not support win32 platforms at this time". I need database access ASAP so can anyone offer any advice?

RE: [Zope] HTML formatting from a text field
Hi Ausum, Do you mean a text field that shows a row of formatting buttons at the top for 'bold', 'italic' 'add link' etc. There is an ActiveX control that is built in to IE Explorer 5.x - you just have to call it from your page. Here's the information from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/edit/ref/cncpt.asp If you get it working with Zope (which shouldn't be a problem) let us know. The Manila/Frontier CMS uses it as a default and it works well. It's very handy when you have users who have basic word processor knowledge (i.e. they know enough to select text first then click a formatting button) but can't be trusted with hand coding html.

[Zope] quick python book - question about the feedback form example
Hi,
Finally got my hands on The Quick Python book and have read the first 13
chapters. I've now jumped to chapter 26, "Using Zope", to try out some
of the examples there. I'm havng a problem with the feedback form
example (p326) and I'd be really grateful if someone could point out
what I am doing wrong.
- I created a directory in the root called 'feedback' and to this I
added a DTML document, 'index_html'. I see no probs with this but maybe
someone could confirm that the post action is correct for me.
index_html
-
dtml-var standard_html_header
FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/feedback/save_feedback" METHOD="POST"
Type of feedback:
SELECT NAME="feedback_type"
OPTIONCompliment
OPTIONCriticism
/SELECT
p
Your comments:
TEXTAREA NAME="comments"/TEXTAREA
INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit Feedback"
/FORM
dtml-var standard_html_footer
- I then create a python method called 'feedback.py' containing the
following:
feedback.py
--
"""feedback.py: A simple feedback form application"""
def save_feedback(feedback_type, comments):
""" A function to handle submitted feedback form data"""
# Open a file for appending to save the feedback
# creating the file if necessary
try: file=open("feedback_data", "a")
except IOError:
file=open("feedback_data", "w")
# Save the data
file.write("Feedback type: %s\n" % feedback_type)
file.write("Comments: %s\n\n % comments)
file.close()
return "Thankyou for your feedback!"
^ On the Python method addition screen I use feedback(.py) as the ID +
title and insert "feedback_type, comments" in the parameter list. Of
course, this results in an error SyntaxError Invalid token.
I tried to modify it by taking out the first 2 lines of the above code,
renaming the method 'save_feedback' but still no success. I'm unsure
whether the return statement will do anything in Zope also.
Can anyone help?
- Best regards,
Lee (with 10 crossed fingers toes)

On the other hand I actually *like* the Zope management interface - in fact, so far I've found it to be very easy to understand and a total pleasure to use.

RE: [Zope] Search and replace
Martin Winkler wrote I just wanted to express that this feature may be too hard to program for the (IMHO) rare cases that we really need it, but IF there I had understood that Python and Zope excelled at string manipulation. That's why I am surprised that it would be difficult to scan a folder full of documents to find a word and replace it with another (with the option of ignoring anything in pointed brackets). I'm not a programmer so I probably don't appreciate the complexities of the task, however in this case it seems like the object-oriented database is a hindrance rather than a help. If it was just a batch of html files I could search and replace through them with just about any piece of software on my desktop. I wouldn't know whether this is the sort of tool that is generally useful, but in my work I use search and replace all the time (if only to fix my endless confusion over 'its' and 'it's') Cheers Lee Hunter Hum Communications Ltd. ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

RE: [Zope] Search and replace
Ouch! Zope has no built in way to do search and replace? As an editor, that is a *very* serious drawback indeed! The first workaround you suggest may be useful when creating new pages although only when you can guess what might change in the future and it also requires that all of the people creating content think like programmers, not writers. The second approach seems somewhat risky, complex and challenging for an unsophisticated user. Isn't replacing text one of the most fundamental tasks when creating and maintaining a web site or any other set of documents, for that matter? Shouldn't there be a S R tab on every folder object that provides a choice of replacing html, dtml or text and that spits out a report on what was changed? Or even better, that first gives you a report of *proposed* changes and then allows you to check off the ones you want to ok. Lee Hunter Hum Communications Ltd. -Original Message- I wrote: Is there any way to do a 'search and replace' in a Zope folder (and it's subfolders)? Martin Winkler replied AFAIK: no. But on the other hand: why do you need it? That's what objects are for... Just create a method with the text that may change sometimes and is displayed on many pages, and include it with dtml-var ... One possibility I see is: export the folder as XML, edit the file in your favourite text-editor and do a search 'n replace. (with the dtml-var, of course ;-) Then import the file again.

[Zope] chapter 5 Zope book - problems with the examples
Hi,
I'm going through the examples in Chapter 5 of the Zope book and am
having some problems. For those of you familiar with it, it is the 'Zope
Zoo' example.
Can anyone help me out?
1 - I create a DTML method called navigation as follows:
ul
dtml-in expr="objectValues('Folder')"
lia href="dtml-absolute_url;"dtml-var title_or_id/abr/li
/dtml-in
/ul
2 - On viewing this method it works fine - a hyperlink to all
sub-folders appears in the browser.
3 - I add 'dtml-var navigation' into my standard_html_header so it
reads:
html
head
titleZAPHOD - zopetastic!/title
font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"
/head
body bgcolor="#FF" LINK="#99" VLINK="#55"
pfont face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"
If your name is Lee then click a href="manage"here/a to
login./font
br
dtml-var navigation
4 - On viewing index.html (containing header footer) everything except
the navigation method appears. Viewing the source of index.html reveals
that the ul tags are created... just no li elements.
5 - The HTML is fine... all tags closed in te right place.
Can anyone see a problem?
Thanks in advance for any replies. My appologies also for such a long
post.

I'm a final year student doing a project to create a course/personal management system for my university. I understand there's quite a lot of similar work going on in this field already.

In addition, I hope to provide a 'wizard' (in a browser window) to provide facilities for uploading lecture material, news, etc. to the course web page. Going through Zope's 'Elvis' tutorial this seems possible. [Q] Is it possible to present a user with various web forms to input information (say, a news article with headline content) that once submitted will be displayed on the page in a suitable format? I think Zope is capable of this... is Python/anything required. Are there any examples I can look at? I am in the process of reading the online Zope book - if anyone has any advice for reading material, I would be grateful to hear it :-) [Q] There are a lot of Zope products available - am I right in thinking that, say a 'Zope Discussion Board' product, could be download and integrated into a Zope-powered web-site? i.e. Are Zope products 'plug and play' TM? ;-o Thanks for the bandwidth, Lee ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

[Zope] Multi-lingual sites and workflow
I was wondering if anyone here has used Zope to create bilingual/multi-lingual/localised websites. I've done a number of bilingual (French and English) projects in recent years using plain old html where the two language versions had to be kept mostly symmetrical and its been a bit of a pain as the site grows to keep the two versions in synch and make sure the translations are done on time etc. Its seems that Zope might help manage these kinds of projects - by smoothing the workflow - tracking what needs translation, perhaps sending stuff to the translator automatically, reporting on what's been done by who and comparing the two language versions to make sure they are parallel. And perhaps even sharing a common architecture - so that you didn't need two sets of DTML methods etc. I'm wondering if this fits into other generic Zope workflow products that people have talked about developing or if it would have to be built from scratch.

[Zope] Webdav Questions

I keep getting an error message "An error occured while trying to copy some or all of the selected files". Here are my questions? 1. How is authentication being handled by my Zope server? Am I automatically authenticated to the server as the user I am logged on as on the local NT workstation? It never prompts me to identify myself via username and password. 2. Can the world at large view my Zope site via WebDAV? It seems that I can connect to the server from multiple machines, even logged on as users who are not in the Zope acl_users folder...Is this the default behavior?

For some reason, on Windows 95 (and perhaps other platforms) the Python interpreter behaves differently enough that if you use a class attribute from a different module and put it in your own class, you may in fact be modifying its global context. It's probably a bug in Python. As a workaround, this version of BTreeFolders doesn't have the "details" tab anymore. http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/BTreeFolder/BTreeFolder-0.1.1.tar.gz BTW has anyone done any semi-formal speed tests?

[Zope] Broken Links and Orphan Checking
Greetings, Is there any way within Zope to parse HTML to look for broken links and orphaned files? The site I am building will have many Zope dynamic componants, but also a good share of wrapped static HTML pages maintained by content contributors in Frontpage/Dreamweaver. I know that orphaned files and broken links *will* become a problem over time. Does anyone know of a good way to handle this? Thanks, -Darin M. Lee Darin M.

[Zope] LoginManager and ZPatterns - Sparse Install Docs, Help.
Zopistas, Maybe I'm making this harder than it needs to be. I want to set up a membership system for the site I am developing with Zope. I do not want to "restrict" any part of the site - instead I want a user to login (at their convenience) and then extend the "menu" options based on their group membership. If a user is not logged in - no problem, they just won't be able to view the advanced options - they'll still be able to surf the site (I want to maintain my user list in an external database as well). What is the best tool in Zope to accomplish this? After searching the site, I find there are several products - ACL Users, GUF, and LoginManager. Is GUF deprecated (The intro tends to give me this feeling)? Is LoginManager the way to go? It also appears GUF is more tailored toward restrictive authentication (I've already perused the "Using GUF with an SQL Database" how-to). I want a user to login (via HTML form/cookie) whenever they like, and get presented with additional menu options (based on their AUTHENICATED/GROUP status). Not have them try to access a "restricted" page (or type "manage") and get a basic authentication login box to get in. As far as LoginManager itself is concerned, I assume it requires ZPatterns. However, the Zpatterns install instructions are *very sparse.* How do I get the thing set up? Here's verbatim from the ZPatterns docs: - After unpacking the ZPatterns product, you will need to build this [c] extension using the included Setup file in the ZPatterns directory. - How do I use the "Setup" file?? With the command "python Setup"? It doesn't say *how* to use it. - Please follow the standard procedures for building a Python module on your platform. (On Unix-ish systems, this usually consists of copying a Makefile.pre.in to the directory, then doing a make -f Makefile.pre.in boot followed by make. - What are these standard procedures?? I built Python itself with "configure|Make|Make install". Where do I get this "Makefile.pre.in" file in the first place, from my Python src/build directory?? Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's usually some kind of script file to run that get's things going, or a "configure" script. I find none of this in the lib/python/Products/ZPatterns directory after I untarred it. So, I'm basically stumped. It doesn't appear GUF will do what I need, and I have failed on multiple attempts to get Loginmanager/ZPatterns installed. If someone could point me in the right direction on this I sure would appreciate it.

[Zope] PropertySheet Question
Hi everyone, I want to do something very simple: I have a ZClass propertysheet with an integer property called "views" Every time I load the page, I would like to increment this value by one, and write it back to the propertysheet. (Yep, a good old-fashioned access counter) Sounds easy right?? Well, I can't seem to figure it out. Every time I get a little farther with Zope, something "trivial" like this completely knocks me for a loop and sends me hunting through piles of howto's for hours! argh...how hard can it be?? Got this from the help page (hopefully on the right track)... manage_changeProperties(self, REQUEST=None, **kw): However, there is no clear example of how to call without a REQUEST object. I want to increment views, and then write it back to the property sheet. That's all. Do I need to include the asterisks? Do I need to include the keyword "self?" It really doesn't say. Everything I have seen on Zope.org, references the Web context with a REQUEST object. Coming from the "Perl-CGI" world I can honestly say, Zope *feels* like it should be easier to develop with, but this learning curve is immense!

[Zope] DTML Problem (from the newbie hair ripper category)
Greetings,
I have created a custom Zclass called "Category." This object is based on
the "objectManager" template. Essentially this object is a container with a
few properties attached; "navigation_name" and "description."
Essentially, the gist of this is to create a navigation menu with a
dtml-in loop that displays all of the Category('s) in a given directory.
However, I want the property "navigation_name" to show up as the hyperlink
text. Does this make sense?
So, if I simply call the dtml-in "objectValues(['Category'])" and then
print the name with dtml-var navigation_name, everything works fine!!
Here is the proverbial rub. If I want to *test* for the presence of
"navigation_name" so I can print "title_or_id" if it's not defined, Zope
simply skips the "navigation_name" property. It's like it always evaluates
to false!
Example for "left navigation" dtml method:
dtml-in "objectValues(['Category'])"
dtml-if "hasProperty('navigation_name')"
dtml-var navigation_name
dtml-else
dtml-var title_or_id
/dtml-if
/dtml-in
Okay, I think to myself "self, maybe acquisition is getting in the way," so
I try:
dtml-in "objectValues(['Category'])"
dtml-with sequence-item
dtml-if "hasProperty('navigation_name')"
dtml-var navigation_name
dtml-else
dtml-var title_or_id
/dtml-if
/dtml-with
/dtml-in
Doesn't work!
Could this have something to do with the definition of my own Zclass? Do I
have to read into the property sheet specifically? Is there a command for
that?
I took the example from the excellent "Breadcrumb Navigation Trail Howto"
and that works fine, as long as I use a supplied Zope object (like
"folder"). As soon as I use my own ZClasses, this breaks. (I'd like to get
my "navigation_name" into the breadcrumbs as well.
Thanks in advance,
-Darin Lee

[Zope] Getting at Zope (Version) Transactions
Hail Zopistas, I would like to develop a "what's new" method that parses/accesses the undo transactions list for certain documents so I can post basic information about when they were added, updated etc. in a DTML method for display on my index page. This would also come in very handy for a file-archive system I am planning on building. (I'm talking about the info that shows up when you hit the "undo" link in Zope manager). Is there a way to get at the transaction data? Is this data stored after a version is merged back into the main ZOBD? What would be the best way in Zope to parse this log for certain types, and generate a DTML method? Does Zope support Regular Expressions? I hail from the Perl coders guild (where generating and parsing text/sql is a relatively easy, albeit messy, task) - but am new to Python and OOP in general. However, now that I have Zoped, I can see there's no turning back. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Darin Lee Darin M.

Re: [Zope] External Method Difficulties
Dieter Maurer wrote: dtml-var genhash That should work. What KeyError do you get? The error message's head should tell you what key has not been found. The traceback at the foot (especially the last line) tells you where the KeyError occured. After I posted, I did some more wild, random, send-up-a-prayer hacking and I think I discovered the problem. It appears that the name of the external method and the name of the module file must be the same. At least, I changed the name of the file to genhash.py and things worked. It could be that the file was called md5.py, and since there is a Python module called md5, the interpreter may have been getting confused. I don't know which. Can any one shed some light on that?

[Zope] External Method Difficulties
For background purposes, I need to write a python module that will generate an MD5 hash of a given string, and return the base 64 representation of that hash. The problem I am facing is getting my stub to work from my DTML document. What I have write now is a stub that takes no arguments and returns "Hello, World". When I click Try It from the management screen, it works fine, but I can't seem to make it work from the DTML doc. This is what Iv'e tried (I'm still pretty new so I'm making wild guesses :) dtml-call genhash This produces nothing. I think I read somewhere that dtml-call returns no data, so that might explain it. I could be wrong. dtml-var genhash This produces a KeyError. It seems like I've tried a couple of other manglings, but what they were escapes me for the moment. I'm not passing a parameter right now, cuz I wanted to simplify things once I found out it wasn't going to work like I expected it to. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better place to start than this list? I have the content manager's guide and the dtml reference, but I can't find anything helpful. The ID for the external method is md5 in case that helps. Thanks a lot! -- Jason Lee - Programmer/Analyst The Fox and the Grapes: I'm not sure what the point is here.

[Zope] Dynamically Picking which object to display
I'm fairly new to Zope, so this may be a dumb question, and my vocabulary could be wrong, so please bear with me. I'm in the middle of building an e-commerce solution for my company, and we're evaluating Zope (and PHP and Servlets, but that's immaterial) as the platform on which to base this solution. That doesn't necessarily mean anything other than to give you context. One of the problems I'm facing right now is how to display a particular object based on a value. For example, let's say a user tries to access www.foo.com/MyAccount/CCInfo. If the user has authenticated, I need to show him the obviously sensitive data he has requested. If he is not authenticated, however, I need to give him a login screen which, for argument's sake, is in the DTML document Login in the root folder. How would I go about doing that? Am I making sense?
