[Zope] why does squishdot url_quote email address values?

2000-10-03 Thread Fred Yankowski

Version 0-7-2 of Squishdot seems to use the url_quote option when
accessing the value of admin_address in particular, so when a DTML
page has code like

 

and admin_address is a property with the value "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", the
resulting HTML code is

 foo%40bar.com

which doesn't work correctly, particularly when used as the value of a
'mailto:' URL.

So what's the solution?  Is Squishdot wrong to use url_quote this way?
Why is url_quote hiding the "@" anyway -- I don't see any reason for
escaping it this way.

Re: [Zope] zope 2.1.3 ->2.2.2 transition problems

2000-10-03 Thread J. Atwood

Hey Kevin,

I had the same problem when upgrading from 2.1.6 - 2.2.2 but have not 
found an answer at all. I followed the directions that I found on 
Zope.org to the letter but to no avail. I checked the products and 
they all work in a clean install of 2.2.2

If you find out anything let me know.

Thanks,
J

There is a patch to Python's "httplib" providing
a socket timeout option.
Unfortunately, not all OS support the necessary socket system
call, e.g. my Linux 2.0.36 does not.
Maybe, your OS does.

If Python is compiled without threads, there is no module
"thread". Zope relies on this module. It dies immediately,
if it is not there. Thus, you can be sure, your
Python has thread support compiled in.

The Python that comes with Zope has thread support compiled in.

Maybe, your Python-ODBC connection "forgets" to release
Python's interpreter lock.

We, once, had such a problem.
   Accidentally, the DCOracle module had been set up with a standard
   Python distribution (with threading disabled) rather
   than the Zope Python. As a consequence, the
   DCOracle did not call "releaseLock" and
   "acquireLock" (as they would not be present
   in a non-threaded Python).
   And, of course, database operations blocked Zope.

Be very careful with signals of any kind inside Zope:

  I had to patch ZServer, as the Oracle client library
  used signals (probably SIGALRM)
  when the Oracle server was unavailable.
  Under Solaris 2.7, this resulted in ZServer's
  "select" call being aborted with "Interrupted system call".
  Zserver was unprepared for this event and died.

Is it possible, that you upgraded from an earlier Zope installation?

The traceback suggests that your requests tries to access
the object "broken", probably an object from a broken
product.

I suggest, you start Zope with "STUPID_LOG_FILE=zope.log".
This should log problems during Zope startup to
"zope.log" (you may need to upgrade to Zope 2.2.2, as
earlier Zope versions lost one exception log due to a missing
"flush").

If you see no problems logged, try to go to "Control_panel/ProductManagement"
and check whether there are broken products.

[Zope] zope 2.1.3 ->2.2.2 transition problems

2000-10-03 Thread Kevin Worth

I just recently upgraded to 2.2.2.  Upon upgrading, all instances of
products that I created are broken.  The products themselves are not,
just every instance of every product that I made.  External and
standard products work just fine.

Strange part coming up:  I can make new instaces replacing the broken
ones. However, 10-30 minutes after creating these new instances, the
new instances are broken.  I've tried this twice, with the same
results.

Anyone have any ideas?

a python/external method is more elegant, but if you want this can be done
in the same way from DTML:




or using dtml-let

But whether all this works depends much on what your database returns.

Re: [Zope] IIS port problem

2000-10-03 Thread Rik Hoekstra




> http://srnt/ChatClub/index_html

note that most probably the reference will look something like
http://srnt/cgi-bin/Zope.pcgi/ChatClub/index_html

That is, you'll loose the port, but you rape your url.
If you want a shorter url, you most probably have to do other (isapi like)
things to IIS

the main point is you need _one_ (not several) Zope.pcgi file that has the
proper locations of all the things needed in it.  It does not matter where
you put it. In your  /pcgi/util directory there is a pcgifile.py
script that will help you check the pcgi info file (that is the very
Zope.pcgi file I referred to). If this doesn't report any errors, your
IIS-pcgi connection will probably work.

this may be true, but it's a strange place for a Zope installation

It can be simple, but it may turn into a nightmare if it doesn't work (you
have been warned). As a comfort, it took me no more than a quarter of an
hour to get it installed on several different NT machines.

[Zope] Zope stalls indefinitely

2000-10-03 Thread Leichtman, David J


Thought we had a problem of ours fixed, but here it is once again, a month
later.
Zope, every once in a while, will just stall indefinitely. The Zope process
doesn't die, it just hangs.

Everything was fine for a month or so, and now the problem's started again,
about every hour.
We're running 2.1.6 on Solaris with pgsql and the ZPyGre adapter and the
most recent copy of FSSession.

Any thoughts. I've posed this question to a lot of people many times. Now
that it's back, I'm hoping for fresh insight.

I don't have a quick answer.  (It's been a long time since i worked on
mailman, and this stuff in particular has changed a lot.) It looks like
the code in Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py is what's of interest, and it
doesn't depend too elaborately on the rest of mailman, which is good.  
I'm have no idea whether it solves the problem of doing unblocking
delivery in a way that lets the delivery requester get a status back.

[Zope] IIS port problem

2000-10-03 Thread Suzette Ramsden

I am hoping someone can help me. I am at the end of my line. I have tried
everything and nothing else works.

I am trying to install Zope on my web server on which I have a small
intranet. I am using Windows NT 4.0 and IIS 4.0.
Ideally I was trying to use Squishdot with Zope to create a small discussion
forum that can be accessed via the INTRANET.

My Web server name is SRNT and is installed on my F:\ partition drive

I installed Zope in the root cgi-bin directory and called my website
ZopeSite. I selected the "Run as a win32 service"
F:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\ZopeSite\

I went to my browser (MS Internet Explorer 5.0) and accessed the Zope Site
using the URL:
http://srnt:8080/manage

I successfully accessed my Zope site manager and everything was working just
fine.

Now comes the problem:
I do not want to connect to the Intranet using the server port (8080) in the
URL to access the Zope pages .

I installed both Squishdot and TinyTables products on Zope and started
building a Squishdot site, which I named ChatClub. However, the URL to
access the Squishdot site looks like:
http://srnt:8080/Control_Panel/Products/Squishdot/ChatClub/index_html

I WANT IT TO AT LEAST SAY:
http://srnt/Control_Panel/Products/Squishdot/ChatClub/index_html

OR

http://srnt/ChatClub/index_html

I don't want any reference to the server port 8080.
I have read several help documents on IIS and PCGI AND THEY ALL SAY
DIFFERENT THINGS.
One document said to copy the Zope.pcgi to the IIS cgi-bin folder and
another said to copy it to the IIS scripts folder.

One document showed the Zope.pcgi file path configuration completely
different from mine. The document showed :
PCGI_MODULE_PATH=X:\WebSite\lib\python\Main.py

And mine showed
PCGI_MODULE_PATH=F:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\ZopeSite\lib\python\Zope

The document even had files I didn't have anywhere in my directory like
pcgi.soc and some in completely different folders like:
Help document:
PCGI_MODULE_PATH=X:\WebSite\pcgi\pcgi.pid

My file:
PCGI_MODULE_PATH=F:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\ZopeSite\var\pcgi.pid

I know there must be a a simple way to accomplish this. I just need someone
to tell me how to do it STEP BY STEP.
I am a Programmer/Analyst, but I am only a novice when it comes to servers
and all the details.

PLEASE HELP

Use a python or external method to make a list from your string.  I am
supposing you are storing a string representation of the list that looks
like:

"['fred', 'bob', 'mary']"

Get rid of any punctuation you do not want with (e.g.) 

theString = string.replace(theString, '[', ' ')

(Yes, there are more efficient ways to do this!)

Then, once you have a space-delimited list of items, you may use

theList = string.split(theString)

which will make a list of the words in the string.  Return theList.

[Zope] A hint on FSSession

Yes, and if you choose to use FSSession, remember to rename the object to something 
other that "FSSession". 
Having an object called "FSSession" in more than one place can f**k things up in the 
namestack, so to be on the safe side, rename (note "rename") the FSSession object to 
something more unique after having created one.

This caused me a lot of brain damage, and I had it explained by a friend after may 
failed attempts to understand the error messages.

Hi,

I'm storing a selection of a user to a database as string. This selection
is a multiple selection from a select box and is outputted as a list.
Now I want to iterate over this list (after retrieving it from the
database), but how can I do this? How can I tell Zope that the string is
actually a list? How can I typecast in Zope?

Thanks, Tom.

[Zope] IMAP and Zope!

2000-10-03 Thread Joachim Werner

Hello!

I am searching for a current IMAP Adapter solution for Zope. What we have found
so far is Ryan Hughes' WorldPilot, which has great IMAP support, but doesn't
really integrate with Zope, and the two products "NotMail" and "IMAP Adapter"
on the classic Zope site. The latter two seem to have been unmaintained for
quite a while.

Does anybody use the old IMAP Adapter successfully with Zope 2.2.x or know an
alternative solution?

We are working on an integrated groupware solution (it will all be open
sourced) and want to either store all documents (incl. mail) in a single
Zope-based storage or at least simulate that by dynamically wrapping the mails
into objects (similar to what Local_FS does with files on the file system).

Thanks in advance!

Joachim.

fields with the values you want to send, then the zClass will give you a

The problem is that the form elements are unknown but they need to be set up

To do this I need the form values in a sorted order. I can then give the

The wording is crap.
What it means is that the user object you are authenticated with must
have the role you are trying to give to the object by proxy. 

...which makes sense if you think about it.

...but is frustrating if the role actually nothing to do with you, and
has less permissions that your role. For example, you, as someone with
only the Manager role, can't give a Customer proxy role to an object,
even though Customers can do much less than Managers, because you don't
have the Customer role. So, you have to go to acl_users and give
yourself the Customer role just to complete the operation, and then,
more than likely, remove the Customer role from yourself later...

I can see why it's like it is, btu sureyl the Manager could be made to
eb an exception? Or mayeb that's what's happening with the Superuser
object?

> So only the superuser can set the proxy role for a document. But once I
> do that, I can't edit it anymore as Manager (expected)

Hmm... you imply the superuser has ended up owning an object, which
shouldn't be possible (yes, that can of worms again :P) so does anyone
know what's going on here?

[Zope] Only superuser can set Proxy on DTML methods?

2000-10-03 Thread Brad Clements

It seems that when I'm managing my website as a Manager (from 
acl_users folder) I can not set a proxy role for a method or document. I 
get "you do not have the proxy role" something like that.

But I can't see anywhere how to enable my userid to have this proxy 
role. 

So only the superuser can set the proxy role for a document. But once I 
do that, I can't edit it anymore as Manager (expected)

So .. how can a Manager grant the proxy role on documents?

Hello,
thank you for answers. To clarify: 
I run Zope-2.2.2/Linux2.2.14/MySQL-ZMySQLDA1.1.3nonbin at home and
Zope-2.2.2-binary/NT4.0Workstation/ZODBCDA3.1.0b2 (Oracle 8i ODBC,
Sybase11.5)at work. Oracle connection at work and MySQL (at home just
for testing) run looong queries and halt Zope. I have no such queries
for Sybase yet. 
I will try to recompile python for linux, but I can't do so for WinNT
as I have no compiler. Anyway I thought the python distributed with
binary release of Zope is threaded, no?

So, does anybody know of either binary and threaded Zope driver for
Oracle , Sybase etc. or the same ODBC driver? And what is the state of
python threading on WinNT paltform?

Thanks,

Count on it. That's why the install instructions explain that
python isn't compiled with threads by default.

It's not as simple as that. The mechnism involved here is complex and
arguably broken.
This is becoming a FAQ, see the mailing list archives for previous
versions of this discussion which will provide all the detail.

You are correct, that should be the case.

Perhaps, but, I think Zope will fail to start if your python does not
support threading.

It might be that the ODBC driver for MySQL is serialising all accesses
to MySQL (i.e. the MySQL ODBC driver is not threaded). This is a bit
of a guess though.

not in the urllib module.  

Try setting an alarm using the signal module, wrapping the GET request
in a try clause, and then setting the alarm to 0 in the finally clause.

You don't define self as a parameter to an external method, so:

def play(sound):

will work fine in an external method.

[Zope] 'Offline' mailhost

Sadly, I think MailHost doesn't scale too well :-(

What it'd need to do if you're sending the mail to a few thousand people
is to be non-blocking.
IIRC, currently, a method/page with a  tag pair in it will only return when the
mail has been sent to all the recipients. So, if the mails going to lots
of people, the page takes ages to return.

This is the problem I had where our mail server was taking lots of time
to send messages (it was doing lots of stuff to make sure the address
was valid) so submitting posts on Squishdot.org was taking ages too.

What, IMHO, is really needed is a mailhost/sendmail tag type thing that
gets a message and a list of addresses to send it to. If it could do
that in a seperate thread/process/whatever so that whatever calls it
doesn't block, that'd be great. Of course, it'd need to have a 'hook
back' method provided so any errors that occured could be dealt with.

I wonder how mailman does this stuff and if the code could be borrowed
for Zope?

cheers,

Chris

[Zope] database connection problem (halting Zope)

2000-10-03 Thread Hrasky Petr

Hello everybody,
I started to play with Zope in order to use it as intranet platform. For
this I need database access. I tried odbc and MySQL and got it working
fine. However we have some existing warehouse queries which take minutes
to complete. When I set up ZODBC connection and ZSQL method to access
such query, it halts all other Zope activities until it finishes. I
tried this both with NT Zope and Linux Zope, ODBC and MySQL DAs. As long
as the query runs, no other requests are serviced. 
I understand that long query blocks database connection, but I thought
Zope is threaded, so it should run other requests not using this
database connection just fine, no? Could it be that the python binary
used is not compiled for threading? I spent yesterday afternoon and this
morning looking for solution to this problem on the net, but with no
luck yet.

Can anybody enlighten me why is that? And what can I do to fix this.

Otherwise I like Zope a lot. Easy, featured, just great. 

Thanks in advance and

Best regards,

[Zope] script execution timeout?

Hi all,

Is there a place to define a script execution timeout?
I've been using urllib and there is no way to kill a urllib.open
if its taking too long. Does zope has that implemented?

[Zope] Access problems

2000-10-03 Thread Danny William Adair

Hi all!

I have a serious and extremely urgent problem concerning my zope
installation (2.2.1 on Unix): Whatever resource I'm trying to access, I get
the following

---
Attribute Error

Furthermore, I have to authenticate on _every_ occasion, even with objects I
know are totally available to Anonymous.
After (http) authentication I get the above mentioned attribute error.

I'm clueless. What is this about?

Thanking you so much in advance,
Prost,

Danny



P.S.: Of course I can't recall doing anything rude to my installation,
actually I can't recall doing _anything_. (What they all say)

[Zope] Guidelines for showing most exciting things of Zope?

2000-10-03 Thread Tom Deprez

Hi,

When I tell people about Zope and give a demo, at the end, I always realise
that I could have told this and that and that I forgot this and that. Now,
has somebody already prepared some things which could be used as a
practical guideline when presenting Zope to outsiders? If not, what do you
think would need to be told to convince people that it's worth looking at
it by themselfs?
Do people think such a practical guideline would be usefull?

Tom.

There are only two ways of doing this:
1) hidden form inputs
2) cookies
3) session variables (kind of like number 2)

Using the former solution, you can make your link be the submit button
for the form, either by using Javascript (yuk: someuser) or by
making it a graphical button rather than a text link ( as far as I remember, but I might be
wrong).

Why use javascript to access cookies?  You can set and get them purely
using zope.  http://www.zope.org/Members/BwanaZulia/cookies.  Also, why
not install a session product (HappySession, FSSession, SQLSession...),
it'll probably make your life easier in the long run...
