[Zope] FSSession problems...

2000-08-25 Thread Curtis Maloney

Greetings,

I'm using FSSession to store login details about visitors to our site.  It is 
important that users only be able to see their own data (of course).

Today, however, I find out that some mistakes have been happening.  People 
are finding themselves logged in when they haven't yet, and others finding 
they're logged in as someone else.  This is, obivously, a problem.

I cannot see how this could be happening, since the Session ID is stored in a 
cookie, which should be unique to the client.

I am using:

Zope 2.1.6 on Solaris 2.7
FSSession 0.4.0

Have a better one,
Curtis.

Further details:

Some internal testins has shown that is User A logs in with IE, and User B 
opens the page fresh (from another machine) they will be logged in as User A.

But if User A logs in with NS, this doesn't happen.

I am really confused as to what's going on


My only thoughts are that FSSession is perhaps getting confused by Apache, 
but surely it would re-issue the same Session ID the request came in with?

AFAIK, this is perfectly possible. We need more details to be able to
help you.
Any specific point where it goes wrong - any tracebacks or other error
messages?
Does it work in a plain (not dtml) HTML page? 
If so, what did you change with dtml to make it stop working?

Re: [Zope] Not like ASP complaint - any good answers

2000-08-25 Thread Phil Harris

I can't say I see too much difference between the way Zope and ASP
accomplish things,

Zope has External Methods and Products,

ASP has COM objects which I'd say are a darn sight harder to grok.

Fact is that if these developers say you can do everything in VB/Jscript in
an ASP page then they are sadly mistaken.

[Zope] Sequence-key-note

2000-08-25 Thread Sven Hohage

I don't know if this is usefull to someone but I've found that using a
token property you can sort the elements with sequence-key(the first
char is the key).
For example -> token property "citynames": London Liverpool Rome New
York

&dtml-sequence-key;: &dtml-sequence-item;

The output is:
L: London
L: Liverpool
N:New York
R: Rome

I run loads of applets in a DTML-environment.
No problems whatsoever . :-)

What seems to be the problem ?
Does it work in a pure HTML-page ?
Check the differences
between the working HTML and the output of your DTML..

If you want a DTML Document accessible in all ZClasses - just include it
in the ZClass. If you want you may make it available as a View by
mapping it under the 'Views' tab (in the ZClass definition area)

Re: [Zope] Not like ASP complaint - any good answers

2000-08-25 Thread Peter Bengtsson

Sean

Just ignore them. I used to be an ASP developer myself not long code ago.

What do you mean "intermingle"?
If you want to loop though a list or db-table row, you will have to
"intermingle" your good old  and  tags.
There is no way of getting around that in ASP as far as I know, unless
something amazing has happens since I left the community.

Yes, markup tends to be mixed with external/python methods. I guess that is
out of conveniece only.
You could:



...if you really want to make the externalmethod() generic...


  

  



What ever you like! Take control over your code. Don't let the code take
controll over your options.
Zope coding feels like "do it either way". ASP coding feels like "do the one
and only way".


Maybe "your" ASP developers, have seen external/python methods written by
people who use the method for themselfs (not caring about reusing the method
again), but has decided to let other developers use it.
Maybe?

Take care, be strong, Peter

RE: [Zope] Where do I find out about cookies?

2000-08-25 Thread Jean Jordaan

Hi Loren, J. Atwood, Maik

Thanks for all the info! I'll digest & give feedback 
where I can. In the meantime, this is what I've fixed up
for myself (with a LOT of help from Roche Compaan) ..

In DTML Document 'index_html'::

 

In DTML Method 'docsSorted'::














   Title
  Origin
  Series
 




  
 

[Edit]

  

 


  
[... and so on for the other possibilities ...]

The rationale is:

'docsSorted' is called as method by 'index_html'. 
- Upon the first iteration, there is no cookie and no form
variable. A cookie and a form variable is set to 'title' as
default. The form variable governs.
- Upon subsequent iterations, if there is a form variable,
then 'index_html' was called from 'docsSorted' and the
sort-order has *just* changed. The cookie is changed (which
will not be noticed during this iteration since it first has
to be received again) and the form variable governs.
- If there is a only a cookie and no form variable, it
governs.

Now I want to extend it so that choosing a sort-order for the
*second* time reverses the order -- does this really entail 
repeating the entire '' section
for '"order=='reverse'"'?

I think I'm probably better off using the catalog for this,
rather than dtml-in batching ..

[Zope] Small Tip

2000-08-25 Thread Maik Roeder

Hi !


It always got on my nerves that I needed to change the column
size of the DTML Method and DTML Document Edit Forms
manually by pressing "Wider" and "Narrower".

Instead of patching the Zope source code, I found the following
a good approach:

Define a property in your root folder:

id: dtpref_cols
type: int
value: 80

The magic of acquisition does all the rest ;-)

I have added part of your Product into the ZDP-Tools by adding a
DTML method to my DocumentFolder ZClass, and it works out of the box;-).

Have a look at:
http://zdp.zope.org/projects/eurozope/ZMenus_Tree_Navigation

or from the top:

http://zdp.zope.org/ZMenus_Tree_Navigation

This shows the hierarchy of the ZDP site.

It still needs to be integrated, but it already is some kind of a 
SiteMap. It is also some kind of Pike lookalike, that I may use 
for my Weblog thingie I have been thinking about.:

Your product assumes that the users manually add links to other content on
the site, but the funny thing is that this can be automatized. Why add links
when the content is already there ?

SessionUID is a combination of a time stamp in seconds and a random
integer between 1 and some billions. I just tested the behaviour of the
random generator under multiple threads and it seems to be ok. So I
suppose there is close to zero chance of two requests obtaining the same
SessionUID. During load time FSSession gets SessionUID from a cookie if it
exists. The only way I can see what you describe happening is in a
situation where two or more threads share the same volatile attributes,
which as far as I know is not the case. ZODB creates separate copies of
each object in each individual thread and nothing is really shared apart
from global variables and class (not instance) attributes.

I will do some tests ...

Since anything in any of the REQUEST dictionaries is on the name space
stack, you should be able to reduce the above IF block to:


  

  

  
  


If the 'cookie' dictionary is "closer" than the 'form' dictionary in the
namespace stack you'd need to stick one more REQUEST.set in the
inner if.

Obviously, I haven't tested this :)

Re: [Zope] How do I create a folder full of "virtual" DTML objectsfrom records in a database records in a database

This is really easy to do. Now, what do I have to do if I want to use
URLs like this:

http://www.yoursite.com/events/recordid/index.html 
http://www.yoursite.com/events/recordid/pics.html
http://www.yoursite.com/events/recordid/[...]/edit

The real data is stored in a RDBMS, only the user interface templates
are in the ZODB. Currently I use the obvious:

http://www.yoursite.com/events_display_info/recordid
http://www.yoursite.com/events_display_pics/recordid

etc.

Is it possible to use methods which get the recordid and a 
possible /edit extension from the URL and create the requested
objects on the fly? There was a discussion about this topic a few
months ago but I don't remember the exact circumstances so it's 
difficult to search for in the mailing list archive.

Cheers,

It might or might not be helpful for you.
I also have a bunch of databases only accessible via ODBC,
so we use Merants Sequelink-Socket product (since we bought it).
So far I could get mxODBC to work with it flawlessy. 
Now I'm up to integrate it into the ZmxODBC DA published some

[Zope] ZCatalog - OR'ing on different colums (indices)

2000-08-25 Thread Aleksander Salwa


Is there any better method of OR'ing on differend indices in quering
ZCatalog, then the method described in 'Advanced ZCatalog Searching'
How-To:



   
  ...
   



This seems to me too expensive - here three searches are made.
Is there - or should be added - any support for it in ZCatalog ?

Another fault of this method are superfluous repetitions in results - if
some catalogued object matches search pattern on more then one index.

It seems to me to be common case, when we show to user simple search form
with only one input (that is where 'userInput' came from) and 'Go!'
button. User don't want to know, that we have our data splited in many
properties. But on Zope side it's very good to have it structured in that
way - so how to reconcile these things ?

Is it possible that your visitors who are experiencing this problem are
sitting behind a proxy that is improperly caching their cookies. I've seen
something like this where you could log in to zope.org, go to a different

[Zope] ODBC Bridge / SQL Server stuff

2000-08-25 Thread Phill Hugo

Hello,

Easysoft (www.easysoft.com) supply a simple, efficient SQL bridge which
works well with unixODBC (.org) and iodbc (.org) driver managers. We use
it on one of our PHP sites to link to an SQL Server db from Linux. It
works fine but its a close product.

So given the easy of use of XML-RPC or SOAP from Python, it may be
sufficient to create your own bridge which calls a remote DB connection
made with ASP or Zope on NT. I've set this up with a Python method
calling a remote DB connection in PHP using XML-RPC (just pass the query
over and get the records back) and it works perfectly.

Hope this helps.

Phill

[Zope] simple question

2000-08-25 Thread Marcus Schopen

Hi there,

just a short question about the tree-tag:

sould a tree based navigation placed in a seperate frame? I would like to create my 
sites with
tables, so the tree navigation is placed in a table field. I don't want to use frames. 
The whole
page should be in one table.

But this seems to give some strange effects. please see: 
http://marcus.localguru.de:8080/b3/

Or is this normal behavior of a Zope tree?

Thank you
Marcus

[Zope] It Works!!!! I think I'm close, Product Creation and other threads

2000-08-25 Thread Daniel Rusch

Great news, I did it...!  

The trick seems to be adding the legacy line to the BasicDocument
__init__.py file (see below). This allowed the following line to work in
the  folderish (SimpleSite) product's manage_addSimpleSite function to
quit barfing:
ob.manage_addBasicDocument(id='index_html', title='')

BTW, Remember I said that I my plan of attach, while I was praying for
an epiphany, was to figure out how a Folder could create sub products.
Well, I figured this out via an epiphany, I accidentally cd'd to OFSP
instead of OFS and I looked at the __init__.py file, it was most
illuminating. Ok it wasn't exactly an epiphany, but I'll still chalk
it up to divine intervention

DR



This is the  __init__.py file for the folderish product which contains
the other product I created. 


__doc__="""SimpleSite product initialization"""
__version__='$Revision: 0.1 $'[11:-2]


try:

import os, SimpleSite
from Globals import ImageFile

def initialize(context):

If you have a database or search engine that handles full text,
I would go for it. However, most relational databases have difficulties
with full text. I doubt, that MySQL can handle it well.

The ZCatalog as it is now, is nice for small to medium size
content. I, personally, would not use it for content bigger
than 50 to 100 MB. Due to some weeknesses in the BTree
implementation (which is used by ZCatalog to maintain its
indexes) a considerable part of the index structure
is rewritten if the index changes. This may lead to a fast
growing ZODB with the need for frequent "pack"'s.

Before you decide for ZODB, you should make some tests:
something like this:

  *  index about 10 MB of content

  *  change content

  *  search with the catalog

  *  index another 10 MB of content (you now have 20 MB content)

  *  change content

  *  search with the catalog

For each step:
  
  Look how the size of the ZODB changes: before and after packing

  Look how the main memory requirements changes (especially
  during indexing)

  Look how the timings changes (for all relevant operations:
  indexing, packing, searching)


Try to extrapolate your results.
You may need to add more 10 MB content chunks to recognize a
tendancy.

[Zope] Simple(?) Syntax Question (dtml-in)

2000-08-25 Thread Tim Cook


I want to use the same DTML method for different operations. It
gathers info from properties of DTML Documents and returns a
list. The list is a list of lists.

Each item in the list valid_prj contains a list of two strings,
ie. 

valid_prj = [['abcd','1234'],['efgh','5678']]

I want to only provide the first item of each list in this
SELECT:

...


  

 
...

But darn if I can get the right combination for the correct
syntax to get only that first item of valid_prj.

I use more than one ZCatalog at a time. One called SiteSearch stores
full-text-search information on all the objects in a site. Then, I have
other ZCatalogs for domain-specific searches.

I use ZPatterns to do this.

My objects are derived from DataSkins. I use CatalogTriggers to index my
objects in the appropriate catalogs. CatalogTrigger is from Itamar
Shtull-Trauring's ZPAddons package. (There will be a new version of
this, renamed DataSkin addons released this weekend.)

You could also modify CatalogAwareness.py to make an object aware of
several catalogs at once.

Actually, there are some extraneous "" in the prior post. Here's a corrected
version:


  
  
 

I also should have mentioned that this approach allows use of the &dtml-x;
"entity syntax", within tags..

Disclamer: This is my gleaming -- I could be off.  I have done a
keyword search on the Zope-PTK list for workflow to understand the
recent discussion on workflow design within PTK. It seems to me that
workflow is tied to strongly with documents in the design plan. In the
model of workflow being discussed there, documents march through
workflow steps. What if a workflow step is a computation and requires
multiple data sources to be done? Instead, a workflow step needs to
have an explicit representation with data items (documents) associated
with it having some kind of version info associated with them. This
need comes from the use cases that I deal with in setting up workflow
for science and engineering computation.

For a good review of workflow requirements see:

http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/endeavors/docs/AdvancedWorkflow.pdf


It would be nice if the workflow system understood how to act in a
distributed way, like what SWAP, (an XML based protocol -- think
webdav for workflow -- for distributing workflow) is trying to do:

http://www.ics.uci.edu/~ietfswap/swap-prot.txt

and the later work, Wf-XML by WFMC.

This in turn is based on early WFMC's efforts. See the workflow & internet white
paper and reference model at:

http://www.aiim.org/wfmc/finalwp.pdf

http://www.aiim.org/wfmc/standards/docs/tc003v11.pdf

There are models (some UML) contained within that would be useful to
use as guides for patterns for workflow I believe.

Re: [Zope] ZCatalog - OR'ing on different colums (indices)

One way that works well but only works if you always do the same
type of search (which it sounds like is true in your case) is to
create a method for all of the objects that returns the concatenation
of all of the data fields of intrest, and index that in the Catalog.
You then search on the field, and return the relevant documents.
Since the Catalog only stores word indexes and document indexes and not
the text itself, this is not as inefficient as it sounds.  It's
also a little more execution-time efficient (which is good for a
web ap) since you are effectively pre-computing the between-fields
OR portion of the search.

[Zope] Sub Class Question

2000-08-25 Thread Daniel Rusch

I've created a BasicMethod which is derived from the DTMLMethod.
everything works great until I try to have the sub class's
(BasicMethod)  __call__ method call the super class's (DTMLMethod)
__call__ method. 

class BasicMethod(DTMLMethod):
"""BasicMethod objects are DocumentTemplate.HTML objects that act
   as methods whose 'self' is the BasicMethod itself."""

meta_type='Basic Method'
 
   
def __call__(self, client=None, REQUEST={}, RESPONSE=None, **kw):
print 'Sub Class __call__'
DTMLMethod.__call__(self, client, REQUEST, RESPONSE, kw)

Globals.default__class_init__(BasicMethod)


when I view the BasicMethod in Zope, I get:
Error Type: TypeError 
Error Value: too many arguments; expected 4, got 5


I believe that I need the self arg, if I remove it I get an unbound
python method error.

Any thoughts???

DTMLMethod's __call__ only takes three arguments: client, REQUEST,
and RESPONSE.  **kw turns any additional keyword arguments (x=y)
into a dictionary kw.  To pass the ones your __call__ receives on
to DTMLMethod's __call__, you have to turn them back into a keyword
list somehow.  A quick check of the python language reference
doesn't reveal any special syntactic sugar for doing this.  However,
in the definition of __call__ in DTMLMethod I found this:

r = apply(HTML.__call__, (self, client, REQUEST), kw)

Reading about apply in the python docs, it's obviously designed to
do just the job you need .

Re: [Zope] ANN: ZUBB (Zope Ultimate Bulletin Board) 0.5.0 Release

2000-08-25 Thread technews

Hi,

I was happy to see ZUBB.  It just happens that I am working on a similar
product, however it is SQL based, and I have other features not available
in UBB, or ZUBB.  the development version is running at
http://zope.heewar.com/aynaBB/.

I have been a user of UBB for a while, and I find it lacking a lot of
features that an SQL database can bring.  If anyone is interested in
helping out I will be open to making the code available for people to work
on.

Anyone intrested must contact me to adonis at egsx dot com

Thanks
Adonis

[Zope] How to implement a round through the whole web site

2000-08-25 Thread Christian Leutloff

Hi,

I want to add a round to a small Zope based web site. Therefor I would
like to add a prev and a next button on each page. So it is possible
to start on the first page and then move on to the next one by
clicking on the next button. After some clicks on the next button I'm
sure to have visited all pages. 

I want to realize this goal through adding an attribute named sequence
(´seq´) to every DTML document that should be reached through the
round. The value is a 4 digit number that defines the order in which
the pages should appear. Then I've started to implement a method using
DTML to generate the hyperlinks for prev/next. The strategy would be
to determine the sequence number of the actual document. Afterwards
all documents are searched and each id is compared to the actual
one. The results should be saved in variables that could be used to
set up the links after all documents have been processed.

My problem is now how to store the intermediate results in
variables. I'm able to define a variable (myseq), but I'm not able to change
the value afterwards:

< snip


 
  <-- wrong!!!
   Seq: /

   sequence is missing!


< snap


What is the most efficient way to traverse all DTML documents in a
given branch of a Zope server? Today I use something like this:




 ,
Properties:

,





Are there better solutions?


Do you know of a predefined way to implement the round through the web
site? 

Thank you
Christian

You're going to kick yourself on this one :



> Are there better solutions?
> 
> Do you know of a predefined way to implement the round through the web
> site? 

Given your description, which I'm not sure I completely understand,
I'd suggest adding a Catalog to your site, and creating an index field
in the catalog that indexes your document sequence number.  Also
make a meta data property in the catalog for the index field.  To get
your complete list of documents, just call the catalog, and you'll
get back everything indexed.  (If you index more stuff than your
documents, just query the Catalog for meta_type DTMLDocument, or
query your index field for >0 and 
  do your processing


Take a look at the Catalog HowTo's to decide what stuff you want in
meta data fields and how to get the object given its Catalog pointer
if you decide you need to do that.

Hmm.  To do prev and next buttons you could find the right document
by doing a search on your index field for a value less then the
current id (prev), sort in reverse, and do size=1 on the dtml-in.
For next, do >id and normal sort order and again size=1.

I 'feel' like I may not know everything you're wanting to
accomplish, but.

By, 'small', do you mean 50 pages, 100 pages?  

How about each page gets an id  that will put it in the proper
order when it is appended to a list and then sequenced through? 
Start out with id's that are, maybe 10 numbers apart so that you
can easily insert pages in the sequence with out renumbering the
other pages. Or you could just as easily use your 'seq' property.

Create and append to a list each of the pages sorted by id. Then
your NEXT PREVIOUS links will be to; sequence-index +1 and
sequence-index - 1.
