[Zope] apache rules with zope
I can access two directories in /var/www but not two others.
I have this rule in httpd.conf before the rewrite rules for Zope:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(usage|zusage|ead2002|asu_ead)
The usage and zusage directories work, that is /usage goes to the
/var/www/usage directory not looking on Zope/ZODB. Same with the zusage
directory. But ead2002 and asu_ead directories give a Not Found error from
Zope. The Alias and Directory tags in httpd.conf are the same for all four.
The ead2002 and asu_ead directories were added after disabling SE Linux so
those two are not controlled by an access control list and after disabling SE
Linux I would think the others are not controlled by an access control list.
The server was rebooted after disabling SELinux with the relable option
checked.
[r...@localhost www]# ls -laZ
drwxr-xr-x root root ?asu_ead
drwxr-xr-x root root ?ead2002
drwxr-xr-x. webmaster webmaster system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 usage
drwxr-xr-x. root root unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0
zusage
There's nothing in the httpd, messages, or secure error logs.
Thanks for any help,
Thomas

Re: [Zope] psycopg import error
Have you installed psycopg2 2.0.11, not the adapter but the library for python? and is it in the python path for your Zope python? I'm thinking you have psycopg not psycopg2 installed as your python library and the psycopg2 adapter. There is no psycopg 2.0.11.

Re: [Zope] Getting Auto Increment value
I am suspecting that serial in MySQL works like serial in PostgreSQL in which a sequence is automatically created. If so, you should be able to query the last_value field in the sequence without having to call the function. The field name might be different in MySQL, I don't know. This will give you the last value inserted and if you need the next just add 1. Also, if it is an auto increment column and again if it is like PostgreSQL then all you have to do is use the word 'default' without quotes and it auto increments the value for the new insert. See if there is a default for your serial field. Thomas On Thursday 11 June 2009 08:36:21 Merav Ben-David wrote: I am working with zope mysql.

Re: [Zope] is there a zope product for generating spreadsheets?
I don't know if there is a reason not to use this but no one has mentioned PyUNO. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Python From that page: OpenOffice.org ships with a python scripting language, version 2.3.4. This Python distribution comes with the Uno module which connects the UNO API with the python scripting language. I'm thinking it should allow you to read from a spreadsheet and then you would have to format output as you want. There are a lot of other links related to pyuno, I notice one is a tutorial. http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=openoffice+3+pythonbtnG=Search and if you add 'calc' to the search you can narrow down the search and find things like OpenOffice.org Utility Library, or ooolib in short, is actually more than one library module. Included are a Python module (ooolib-python) and a Perl module (ooolib-perl). The Python module is currently focused on Calc and can be used to create OpenDocument Format Calc spreadsheets.

I need a SAML 2.0 solution for authenticating into Google Apps from a SAML 2.0 request from Google Apps. There are Java, PHP, Perl, Drupal, and other solutions but I didn't want to build from scratch if there was already a Zope solution available. I haven't found a Zope product that does SAML authentication and the closest thing I found was the acas product but looks like it is specifically for authenticating into Zope only.

Re: [Zope] DirectoryStorage product - zope won't start
Thank you Dieter, I've found that DirectoryStorage is not what I was looking for. I didn't realize that DS was something more like an file system version of Data.fs. Trying to install LocalFS it is missing two files, see below, and this is what happens with LocalFS and the updated LocalFS called StreamingFS. I wanted something more like the LocalFS product but it fails not finding content_types and then after adding content_types.py from Zope 2.6.1 it can't find ts_regex. I see that content_types just uses re and mimetypes so I didn't think there would be any harm adding it from an older version of Zope to this one. I added ts_regex.py from the 2.6.1 Zope and I can add a LocalFS object but opening it I get Resource not found and no errors on the terminal running zopectl fg. Although when starting Zope I get /opt/zope/lib/python/ts_regex.py:15: DeprecationWarning: the regex module is deprecated; please use the re module import regex, regsub #, Sync /usr/local/lib/python2.4/regsub.py:15: DeprecationWarning: the regsub module is deprecated; please use re.sub() DeprecationWarning) /opt/zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py:809: DeprecationWarning: __init__.py of Products.ExternalFile has a long deprecated 'methods' attribute. 'methods' support might be removed in Zope 2.11 or a later feature release. Please use the 'legacy' argument of registerClass instead if the methods are constructors. Or refactor the product using adapters. DeprecationWarning) But I'm not sure what is involved in refactoring or registerClass and don't know if that will allow LocalFS to operate properly if that is done. I assume filesystemview doesn't work with Zope alone, right? I have moved away from the ExternalFile product because using the batch method does not update files in secondary folders, just the current folder and there are too many secondary folders to have to update each one individually. So, to anyone, is there a Product that works that will allow transparent access to files on the filesystem through zope, like LocalFS?

that indicates Storage is locked except for the end of that traceback.
I don't know if I need to do from ZODB.lock_file import _lock_file or
something else.

Re: [Zope] Trying ZODB with a background in RDBMS
This may help in addition to Jonathan's suggestion.
In PostgreSQL when you create a serial field for that
purpose it actually creates an integer field with a modifier
similar to this:
not null default nextval(('dl_articlereq_id_seq'::text)::regclass)
where dl_article is the table in which id is the integer field
created. Also created is a sequence with this format:
sequence_name | last_value | increment_by | max_value | min_value |
cache_value | log_cnt | is_cycled | is_called
+++--+---+---+---+---+---
dl_articlereq_id_seq | 288 |1 | 2147483647 |
1 | 1 | 0| f | t
so you can get the last record value from last_value field.
I'm feel sure mySQL is similar.
Hope you can use this.

Hi all. I'm playing with standalone ZODB at the moment trying to get a
better understanding of its use in applications. I come from a
PHP/MySQL background, and I'm taking my first steps with Python at the

One of the things I'm not understanding about ZODB is assigning
incremental IDs to objects. For instance, if I were to be writing a
support-ticket system I'd want to give each ticket a unique number,
but one that's human-useable (otherwise you could just use a UUID -
try giving one of those over the phone!).
Also, how would one add a new item to the db in this way?
For instance:
class Ticket(Persistence):
def __init__(self):
self.id = '' # How do I add a new incremental ID here?
# and later on in the app
tkt = Ticket()
dbroot[?] = tkt
How would one assign a unique ID to the root at that point?

Re: [Zope] getting post data from a webcam
Can you use ftp or webdav, that may be easier, this would take care of
mimetypes without having to move to a lower level. It depends on the
capabilities of your camera but not knowing the model there is limited help.
I had an Axis camera, that ran embedded linux and had a built in python web
server (boa) which I used to get an image from the camera every 5 seconds
replacing the previous image for viewing from our WEB site. And, I had to
put the image directly on the file system and use the Local File System
product for Zope to access it because it was always downloaded under the same
file name and putting it in Zope directly quickly filled up the hard drive
because of the undo option, a learning experience.
It's been so long ago I don't remeber all of the details.

Re: [Zope] Upgrade to 2.7.2 results in all content unavailable - SOLUTION!
So was this RHEL machine customized to update ZOPE with YUM or Up2date or is this a default.

This would be nice to know seeing that I am currently moving all my linux servers to RHEL5. Thanks Thomas On Monday 14 April 2008 14:25, Wes Modes wrote: Thanks everyone for the help. It was a combination of useful suggestions, blind optimism, tenacious persistence, and fervent desire to keep my job that eventually solved the problem. It was neither super simple, not really complex. The list of things I tried spans 6 pages in my notebook, so I won't bore you with that. But I will give you a quickie summary. The Problem: A previous sysadmin had built both zope and python from source. As is often the case, things end up in non-standard locations (or the standard locations change over time). So with the monthly system software updates, the installer (Red Hat EL 4's up2date program, based on yum) gave me new versions of zope and python. I apparently went from Zope 2.7.2 to Zope 2.10.5 and from Python 2.3.X to Python 2.5.2. I had no intention of updating either package, but neither was in the up2date exceptions file. After the update, zope was still running but wasn't serving any content. Even the ZMI and the Congratulations page were unavailable. I could see that the data storage had not been lost, but nor had it been touched since the update. I tried all sorts of things to get everything working again, but it looked like my best bet would be to install the latest versions of Zoep and Python and then import the old data. So that's the path I took. The Solution: I rebuilt both zope and python to the most current stable versions. In attempting to make the new packages work together, I noted that the old versions of python were installed in /usr/lib and the new versions were installed in /usr/local/lib. So even when I went back to a 2.4.X version of python it couldn't find all of the modules that had been earlier built for it. Once I moved some of the needed modules over, and rebuilt others, zope at least started working normally. Then after I moved the old data into place and restarted zope, all of the content returned. Summary: Be careful when updating python, it may leave all of its modules behind.

Re: [Zope] retrieving a single column from database and giving it as hyper link fetching respective data
On Friday 11 April 2008 01:02, member madhangc wrote: Dear all, I'm developing a biological database using Zope 2.6 and pgsql. Let me explain my issue with an example. There is a menu called Drug in my homepage, by clicking the menu the drug names along with their type in two different columns get displayed in the body. I can do things till that. My problem is , lets say there is a link called Isoniazid with all other links(drug names) in it. When a user clicks one of the links as i said before as isoniazid only the information about isoniazid has to be retreived and displayed , likewise to all the other drug links. I have no idea how to capture the click event and the data to be retrieved. Can someone help. Thanks in advance. From your description I can't tell if you are already populating the two column page from a database or if it is a static html page. If I understand your issue correctly you can do all this with your database. You may have to add more columns to provide the interaction you need. I have a similar situation with a three column subjects page where clicking on each subject brings up a page with a list of online databases and descriptions for each. Within each description is a link to the online database. Again, if I understand your issue, have your two column page be created from a db that contains the a record number and the drug name. That template can build a link based on the record number to another template and the second template would query the database for a description field or whatever. so the first page would build its contents sorta like this. dtml-in get_drug _names a href=http:/link/to/my/description/template/?my_recnum=dtml-var drug_name_recnumdtml-var my_drug_name/a /dtml-in same thing can be done in pagetemplates. You can see my example at http://www.library.appstate.edu/vdb/subjectgeneral05.html The list of subjects comes from a database and there are three select statements to make the three columns, select the first third, second third, and then the last third and use css. Each subject link to another template that selects data from the main table based on subject table's related field. And, on that second page you can narrow down the results by media type such as book, newspaper, audio, etc. which is a field in the database title table. Let me know if I misinterpreted your request, as I get older this becomes more frequent ;-) And another query, how can i select text from a dropdown box. I just need the data which is selected in the dropdown box and sent as query. Thanks again. If you click on a letter at the top you will see a list box on the right which uses a javascript called jumpmenu and OnChange which should work or be close to what you want. There is not an action attribute for the list box and no button, the Javascript takes care of it.

Re: [Zope] External Method in Zope
If you absolutely have to, look at Paramiko a python ssh/sftp library which is easy to use but as mentioned already there are critical security issues. with paramiko you don't have to directly edit the files but within an ssh connection run the commands needed that actually make the changes. You may have to put in time.sleep(x) commands to give the response time to come back, where x is an integer.

[Zope] RedHat blows up? (another post follow up)
Concerning the post from FuBuJo [EMAIL PROTECTED] about Zope Zeo with reference to RedHat blowing up with Zope. I've been running Zope on RedHat and RedHat based OSs since 1999, always on Dells, and only found an issue with RedHat 8.0 when it came out (before RHEL existed) and the issue was due to the change in threading on the RedHat distro bu there was a fix for Zope in Zope's configuration. After RedHat 7.3 I started using Fedora until last year when false CPU hardware errors kept crashing the server. Had to move to CentOS (RedHat based) because at that time Dell only supported RedHat, CentOS and Suse. No errors after installing CentOS using Apache, Zeo, and Zope. Now I am making arrangements to move back to RedHat with RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.0 and I am curious/concerned to what issues you experienced with RedHat. From original post: The equipment is high end DELLs (well as of 3 years ago) - all running FreeBSD (we tried Red Hat but it blows up - but thats another post).

All combinations and attempts to use an External Method result in either parseDoc or parseFile failing. Also, the Zope server will not respond to WEB clients for as long as it is trying to process the External Method and Apache times out in about 100 seconds with a Proxy error and I usually have to restart the Zope server to get access back to it through a WEB client although ps doesn't show any unusual processor or memory usage. Keep in mind that Zope works by default with 4 worker threads.

Re: [Zope] trying to implement server side xsl transform
Kees,
The files are dtml documents and use the xsl file correctly
when viewed in IE usually. When viewed in Opera the only
result is XSLT processing failed! on the browser page. In
Firefox the page doesn't show any images and some text is
not shown. These files relate to old records often used by
genealogists and from my experience they are usually elderly
and using old browsers but even a recent Firefox in linux I
just tried doesn't show some text or images.
Someone else is creating these files and I know there are
syntax problems with some pages but I don't have time to tutor
this author in XML, I just give comments and suggestions
occasionally such as use xmllint. I've only been asked to
implement server side transform on our Zope server.
4Suite does the transform by applying the xsl style sheet to the
xml file and returns formatted html text suitable for all browsers.
Ft in site-packages comes from 4suite, see 4suite.org for more info.
There are examples for other xsl tools at
http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/akara/nodes/2003-01-01/python-xslt
The solution I ended up with even after the one in the reply to
myself lets you add /ead2xml on the end of the url of the xml

Your dtml must fail, however, because you can't use a dtml-tag within a
python expression. I would upload the xml document as a dtml-document and
call it just by its name.
By the way: what role does 4suite play in your process?
If you have a working solution, would you be willing to share it?

Onderwerp: [Zope] trying to implement server side xsl transform
Zope Version (Zope 2.10.3-final, python 2.4.3, linux2)
using zeo storage
I am trying to implement a server side XSL Transform with the
tools I have installed. I have 4suite, libxml2, and libxsl. The
all of the files are dtml documents.
Listing 1 below works on the command line and writes an html file named
'foo' to the file system. So I added a def, a parameter to receive, and
indent Listing 1 appropriately to run as an External Method. I also found,
from this list in September 2006, an almost identical External Method using
parseDoc instead of parseFile, and SaveToString instead of SaveToFile, see
Listing 2 and the traceback that follows it.
All combinations and attempts to use an External Method result in either
parseDoc or parseFile failing. Also, the Zope server will not respond to
WEB clients for as long as it is trying to process the External Method and
Apache times out in about 100 seconds with a Proxy error and I usually
have to restart the Zope server to get access back to it through a WEB
client although ps doesn't show any unusual processor or memory usage.
I have tried using Listing 1 and then read the file back in to return the
html text but still get the same result, parse failed.
The test page, a dtml document, making the call only contains:
dtml-call C_xml2html('dtml-var 0418rice.xml') or dtml-call
expr=C_xml2html('dtml-var 0418rice.xml')
Thanks for any help,
Thomas

Re: [Zope] trying to implement server side xsl transform
I started trying a solution with libxml2/libxslt which did work in python on the command line but failed through the WEB While browsing the WEB I came across lxml and didn't spend much time on it but now looking at it I think the tools from 4suite still involve less code although there may be some better features offered with lxml I have only skimmed the documentation pages. With 4suite the simplest case is : from Ft.Xml.Xslt import Transform result = Transform((xmlfile, xsltfile) Although some examples show also importing TransformPath you will get messages with newer versions that TransformPath has been deprecated so it is not needed. Thanks, I am going to look some more at lxml.

Any suggestions as to how to thwart such attempts besides requiring
user accounts for even the most minor edit and then remaining vigilant
about who get accounts?
Not a zope-based solution, but how about using 'captcha' images if spambots
are your problem?

or for a Zope based solution (and if you have PIL and PIL fonts installed)
use the following as an external method and stick the call to the method
inside your form. Of course instead of putting the random number in a
hidden field you could also write it to the current directory as a document
and then get the value from the document when you process it, by the way
you have to create your code to verify the image number where ever you
process the form. In the example below I compare cost to picnum.
There are also features in PIL to add effects to the image if you want
slant, swirl or anything.

Re: [Zope] Zope database file grows when no one is modifying it
Well first, is it actually Data.fs that you see growing or are you just seeing less disk space from a reporting tool, you just said the Zope site has filled up. If it is not Data.fs then look at the size of your logs, often, and which one is growing fastest and how big is it. Also, do you have an external service that connects to your Zope site to upload any kind of data? I've had this happen with a video camera that I had ftp-ing a jpeg every 10 seconds to the server, it didn't take long to fill up the undo list so fast that Zope stopped serving because Zope couldn't add to the log file, thank goodness for datafspack.py (I think that was the name of it).

Unfortunately, our main Zope site has filled up most of that space quite rapidly. We haven't edited it much so it is unclear why it is growing so quickly. What might be amiss? Thanks!

Re: [Zope] Re: deprecated products?
Some Products deprecated ( and some not ) only need minor editing to get working again such as I did to a Product when moving to a newer Zope. Even I can do minor edits and help from the list makes it even easier and quicker when I can't find a solution on my own. Just because a Product is deprecated doesn't necessarily mean it is totally unusable or useless. Although there has been mentioned a good point in being able to scope searches in the Products.

Re: [Zope] Why doesn't os.system(command) work?
You probably want NT Script. We use that on our public PCs in the library.
We have CDs in a tower and use NT Script to map a CD and a drive from a
server that has an executable to access the CD or run the executable from the
client machine. Every machine has NT Script installed. In 1995 when we
started using this script I was able to license something like 200 licenses
for about $250. The link to PC World to download it says its $20 now and I
can't even find it on the creators WEB site any more although the 30 day
trial can be downloaded from PC World.
For a Windows app its pretty neat, has a nice little debugger built in.
For use from a web link we use the extension .prg on all of our nt scripts and
associate that extension with ntscript.exe. This is the script for opening
notepad is a dtml document named notepad.prg.
dtml-call RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-ntscript')
sub maindtml-var my_returnshell \windows\notepad.exe dtml-var
my_returnendsub
dtml-var my_return is a Script (Python) that contains only:
print \r
return printed
This was the only way to get the script to work, using carriage returns in the
script did not work.
This script {force} maps drives S and T to two directories on server1 then
starts a local application my_app.exe and that executable's parameters to use
drive s and t for its data.
dtml-call RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-ntscript')
sub maindtml-var my_return$x$=netuse S: \\server1\arev {force}dtml-var
my_return$x$=netuse T: \\server1\arev2 {force}dtml-var my_returnshell
C:\my_dir\AREVWin\my_app.EXE -c~\ARVW.mnu -t~\bib.trl -aAREV -pS:
\AREV_C\AREV1.D01 -qT:\AREV_C\AREV1.D02 {maximize}dtml-var my_returnendsub
This method of running local applications from the WEB can be very dangerous
if another WEB site has an NTScript source on the WEB with a .prg extension
and the source something like
dtml-call RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-ntscript')
sub maindtml-var my_returnshell fdisk.exe dtml-var my_returnendsub

How is your Zope running? If it is running as a system service it has
nothing to do with the current logged on user that has a desktop open. So
Windows will not show notepad on the desktop...
The question is: what is the problem you are trying to solve with this?
Why should the webserver open a notepad? Try playing with a commandline
program that does something usefull but does not need interaction (a batch
file or something like that)

Re: [Zope] using smart folder to pick certain number of news articles to display in the home page
See: http://www.zope.org/Members/EIONET/RDFSummary This product is old but I
don't think it needs any maintenance since it still does the simple but good
job it was designed to do.
I have a different situation but you might want to implement this. This is
with just Zope not Plone. All our news articles are in CoreBlog, you would
use CoreBlog2 for Plone, unless I'm not mistaken SmartFolders has support for
RSS included.
CoreBlog has built in support for RSS feeds of articles. Using RDFSummary I
run a nightly cron job, which now can be done with clock server, to call the
update function in RDFSummary. The RDFSummary is set to grab the newest four
entries with each update. I expect you would have to choose a different
number of entries and then parse it or through some other method find the
results of your search of the RSS results.
Of course you would need to replace with proper syntax for Plone since my site
is just Zope. rssnews_headlines is the id of my RDFSummary.
dtml-with rssnews_headlines
div id=rss
dtml-in items mapping
lia href=dtml-var link target=newdtml-var title/a/li
br /
/dtml-in
/div
/dtml-with
Example from the RDFSummary Product page, dtml and then ZPT example.
dtml-with slashdot
dtml-var channel()['title']
dtml-var picture
dtml-in items mapping
p
a href=dtml-var link
dtml-var title/abr
dtml-if _.has_key('description')
dtml-var description
/dtml-if
/p
/dtml-in
/dtml-with
or if you prefer ZPT:
metal:block tal:condition=here/slashdot
tal:define=news here/slashdot
div tal:content=python:news.channel()['title'] /
div tal:repeat=item news/items
a href=
tal:attributes=href item/link
tal:content=item/title
/
/div
div
a href=
tal:attributes=href python:news.channel()['link']More .../a
/div
/metal:block
Results may be seen on http://www.library.appstate.edu/ at the bottom center
of the page under Library News:.
Click on the view tab of the RDFSummary to see all of the available fields
that may be included in your page. You may also want to look at RDFGrabber

Re: [Zope] apache rewrite quit working
I've just now been able to get back to this. netstat was listening on appropriate ports. Two things appear to be the issue here. The user for apache was the default user apache and this user does not exist on my server, I changed it to the username I made for apache to run under. Then there was a firewall issue. error log for virtual host had this: [Wed May 09 13:23:29 2007] [error] (13)Permission denied: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8086 (*) failed [Wed May 09 13:25:55 2007] [error] (13)Permission denied: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8086 (*) failed [Wed May 09 13:26:02 2007] [error] (13)Permission denied: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8086 (*) failed until allowed port 8086 on firewall and then this: [Wed May 09 13:32:50 2007] [error] [client 86.120.184.161] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/ [Wed May 09 13:32:50 2007] [error] [client 86.120.184.161] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/ [Wed May 09 13:33:04 2007] [error] [client 152.10.156.23] File does not exist: /var/www/html/vdb, referer: http://www.library.appstate .edu/ which is Apache serving from its own document root. I commented out the DocumentRoot setting in httpd.conf and it started working. I don't remember ever having to comment that part out. As a matter of fact I have an older linux, apache, and zope with apache rewriting to zope and serving from the file system through redirects. Any thing I have obviously missed here?

backup that kicks in momentarily until the generator takes over so
all hardware rebooted. After starting zeostorage and zope I found
the apache rewrite rule that has been working since at least April 3,
2007 has quit working. Zeo, Zope, and apache have been restarted
quite a few times since April 3 and worked fine. This is the first time
the server has totally rebooted since that date.

PS: for what its worth, I found out in the mean time that NetDrive can cause
Zope process to use over 95% of the cpu when the login in NetDrive is set and
the password has changed on the Zope server and not on NetDrive. It
continuously tries to connect. (NetDrive is a Novell program that allows you
to map a webdav site as a drive on an MS Windows PC.)

Your rewrite rule points to port 8086 but according to your information

The main problem is my understanding roles with my new set up. I am moving from a Zope 2.6.1 setup to the setup shown above. I've already added some Products to my INSTANCE_HOME/Products directory including Plone which includes the PluggableAuthService folder. I installed a Plone site for testing and deleted it. It appears that PAS has taken over my root acl_users folder or is this now a default in 2.9. Now I can only add users from the ZODB User Manager under /acl_users/users, there is nowhere to add a user from an Add buttion as in the older version of Zope. I can add roles from ZODB Role Manager in /acl_users/roles but these roles don't show up under the Security tab on any page. I can add local roles under the Security tab and they don't show up in /acl_users/roles. I have searched and can find little to no documentation on use or difference in the two authentication methods. Where can I find more information on roles in 2.9.7 and use in this situation? Is this normal behavior and if so how can I synchronize roles between the Security tab and /acl_users/roles or is it not possible? Am still searching the WEB and archives in the meantime.

[Zope] CorpCalendar 1.4 and 1.7 issues
Long story short:
Is it appropriate to change
self.REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.name
to
self.REQUEST.REMOTE_USER
?
It appears to work but I'm not sure if there may be repercussions on this.
Thomas
Long story:
I had to make the change in getUserVariable(self, key, default=None) to view
events CorpCalender 1.4 that was exported from Zope 2.6.1 and make the change
in rememberUserVariable(self, key, value) to be able to add events in
CorpCalendar 1.7 newly created calendars in Zope 2.9.6.
I can't manage/edit any events in the imported CorpCalendar but I'm not real
concerned about that because we can add the new calendars to carry on from
the last dates on the old ones.
Current configuration on server I am moving to:

System Platform linux2
Using ZEO
I am moving CorpCalendar 1.4 calendars from Zope 2.6.1 to CorpCalendar 1.7 on
Zope 2.9.6
Traceback said 'name' was not an attribute of AUTHENTICATED_USER
when trying to view events or add events
The change I made was
from
user = self.REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER
username = user.name
to
user = self.REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER
username = self.REQUEST.REMOTE_USER
in the functions
def rememberUserVariable(self, key, value):
and
def getUserVariable(self, key, default=None):
as shown below.
def rememberUserVariable(self, key, value):
set in stone
cookiekey = '__corpcal_%s'%key.replace(' ','')
user = self.REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER
username = self.REQUEST.REMOTE_USER

[Zope] making a dynamic quiz help
I would like some suggestions on building a dynamic quiz. There are categories and in each category the question can be multiple choice or true/false. For each category a specific number of questions is asked. The questions asked are randomly chosen from a collection of questions for the category. The number of questions chosen may be different for each category. example category one - 3 questions category two - 1 question category three - 2 questions My first thought is a python script does the randomization selecting questions from my postgresql database. Quizzes submitted updates the database counting correct and wrong answers and emails the results to the student and instructors. A second thought is a python script builds a dtml page quiz from individual dtml files which categories can be folders with an individual dtml file for each question. Then submit questions and answers to database and email student and instructors. A third thought is create a collection of complete quizzes and then randomly select a quiz (least preferred). I've searched and the closest I could find was on the zope edu wiki just discussing an aggregated quiz but I haven't found where that has been persued.

Re: [Zope] How best to copy and paste in pythonscript?
For what its worth, thanks AJ and others for the time you put into replying queries daily. I find often I don't have to ask because if someone hasn't already asked it someone else will soon ask. Not to mention, but I will, some of your responses (all of you) leaves me saying I didn''t know you could do that or so that's how its done.

[Zope] installing zope2.9.3 attempt
I'll have to say, this is the first Zope that I've had a problem with the install since 1998. The last successful version I installed was 2.92. RedHat Linux 7.3 Python 2.4.3 I've looked at the Troubleshooting info in the INSTALL.txt file and my Makefile for Python 2.4.3 shows CC= gcc -pthread CXX= c++ -pthread and it was a vanilla build. I've searched zope.org and google and haven't found anything relative to this problem except that a change from 2.9.2 to 2.9.3 fixed a make install problem. It looks like to me that not finding a zcml configuration file it quits. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Re: [Zope] Z SQL Method question
With a lack of information here I'll answer based fully on assumption based on dtml. In your form the action should go to a dtml method. form action=optional_path_to/some_method ... The dtml method should have a call to your Z SQL Method dtml-call my_sql_method And then you can add anything in the dtml method which will be viewed as the response page to the user that submitted the form. You can also do some validation here if needed, with conditional statements. I usually add a redirect under the dtml-call to go to a different response page to the user because if the user reloads the page with the dtml-call it will send the data to the database again unless there is a conflict like unique fields etc.. or Are you using ZPT?

Re: [Zope] Zope and Tomcat troubles
If I'm not mistaken, by default out of the package both Zope and Tomcat defaults to run on port 8080, don't know about the relation to OpenXchange. You need to change one of them. As Tino mentioned, Zope port is set in zope.conf. zope.conf, with the Suse 10 rpm I used on my notebook, is in /var/opt/zope/default/etc. Look for http-server address 8080 http-server Tomcat port is set in server.xml in the conf directory. Look for something similar to: !-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -- Connector port=8080 maxHttpHeaderSize=8192 maxThreads=150 minSpareThreads=25 maxSpareThreads=75 enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 acceptCount=100 connectionTimeout=2 disableUploadTimeout=true / !-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout value to 0 -- Also, you may want to check your environment to make sure the java paths are still correct although not related to a zope installation java paths can sure srew things up if they are wrong. Defaults on Suse 10 are, assuming you haven't installed another version of jdk: JAVA_ROOT=/usr/lib/jvm/jre JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre JAVA_BINDIR=/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre and include /usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin in the PATH.

Re: [Zope] Can Zope 2.9 Coexist With Zope 2.6 Using Different Ports?
I'm running Zope 2.8.1-final, python 2.3.5, linux2 and Zope 2.6.1 python 2.1.3, linux2 on the same server so I don't see why you cant' also run Zope 2.9. More than likely each of your configurations have the same path to the lock file. Edit zopefolder/etc/zope.conf where zopefolder is the name of you Zope instance. Or you need to grant permissions for the user that Zope runs as to modify that file or change owner. See 'man chmod' and 'man chown'. from zope.conf # Directive: lock-filename # # Description: # The path to a lock file which will be locked by Zope while it's # running.

Re: [Zope] Zope, Apache, REMOTE_USER
Don't know if this will work for you but since I put Apache in front of Zope I've had to change all REMOTE_USER to HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR for use in scripts that used the REMOTE_USER value before.
