[Zope] Need prof. tool for conversion html-pdf
Greetings to all, my company is searching for a tool capable of producing good quality pdf's from page templates or documents on the fly. This tool should somehow integrate with Zope. It could be Zope/Plone product, python script or even shell script invoked by Zope. It can be commercial (and probably will be). I've searched the net, but found nothing that would met this requirements: * professional css conversion: pdf should look almost exactly like source document, all css properties should be handled * it should omit silently html elements, that are not supported (e.g. flash objects, applets) without crash or error * links should be active (clickable) in pdf * conversion of html forms to pdf forms would be nice to see * conversion from flash objects or java applets to static images (somehow) would be nice to see too * even putting flash objects into pdf was considered (i'm suspecting latest pdf format handles build-in flash, since adobe bought macromedia some time ago) Every help that i can get would be appreciated. -- ___ 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 )

With all those requirements I believe that every help you can get will be expensive ;-) Many of your wishes are huge tasks. A project like that could easily run into hundreds of hours. Building a custom tool using reportlab is probably the most feasible approach. But most likely you should forget about Zope Plone compatibility and just find a tool that can convert all html to pdf, and find one that can be automated. Then make sure that your Plone output can be converted via that tool. This turned up many interesting tools: http://www.google.dk/search?q=html+pdf+conversion -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science Phone: +45 66 11 84 94 Mobile: +45 29 93 42 96 ___ 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 )
[Zope] ExternalMethod for exporting un-pickled Office files to the filesystem etc
HiJust wondering if anyone has written or attempted to write a script which would read through a site built using Zope and write all attached/uploaded files (Word, PDF, Excel) etc to a filesystem location in an un-pickled format. Therefore the files would be usable by their native application and be accessible outside of Zope. The business logic behind this is to be able to create, say once a day at night, a copy of all digital business assets for extra back-up and recovery purposes in case of disaster. Also this would be good for migration purposes if required. If not, how long would it take to create such a script? I could probably source a sponsor for it. I realise that it's best to do this at the application level and at the moment this would be through Plone. I've demoed all the Plone external storage products and also checked out DirectoryStorage but all these store pickled files etc. Thanks-- michael ___ 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 )

[Zope] ANN (Screencast): Installing Zope at WebFaction
Hello everyone, WebFaction (formerly Python-Hosting.com) have just released a screencast demo of their control panel. The 6 minute demo shows how you can setup a Rails, WordPress, Django and TurboGears application in a few clicks, and then mount these applications on various domain(s)/URL(s). The one-click installer already supports all major tools, including Rails, WordPress, Djano, TurboGears, Zope, Plone, Trac and Subversion, but also lightweight tools such as static HTML, CGI or PHP. Even though Zope itself is not shown in the demo, it is supported in the one-click installer so its installation works just like the other applications. We already hosts hundreds of Zope and Plone sites. The demo is available at: http://blog.webfaction.com/control-panel-demo Remi. http://www.webfaction.com - Hosting for an agile web PS: WebFaction offers free Trac/Subversion hosting for all open-source python projects. We already host more than 200 of them. ___ 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 )
[Zope] Re: ExternalMethod for exporting un-pickled Office files tothe filesyste
Of course-I hadn't thought of that. A small WebDav or Ftp script could be written to do that in a batch. I guess possibly not ultimately the most elegant as it would involve the server connecting to itself using a remote connection to transfer files internally? Still worth a try. Would be nice to set up an option to do this from within the interface with config settings. I'll spec something out with a view to creating a product.

If you are working on it, then you should implement a
means that __bobo_traverse__ can tell the caller that
it should use the normal default.
This feature makes lots of __bobo_traverse__ implementations
much saner. A prominent example is the Archetypes' one.
In our private Zope version, I have used an exception
(UseTraversalDefault) for this purpose.
I think that __bobo_traverse__ can raise AttributeError currently to
indicate that it has failed to look up an attribute and that traversal
should try other options. Apart from being a more explicit spelling,
what advantage would UseTraversalDefault have?
The contract for '__bobo_traverse__' is actually insane on this point,
becuase it has to serve two masters:
- In publishing traversal, an AttributeErrror raised from
'__bobo_traverse__' has the semantics you describe.
- In '{un,}restrictedTraverse', an AtttributeError causes the whole
traversal process to abort, returning the 'default' value (if
passed), or raising.
Fixing this incompatibility without breaking applications which may be
unknowingling dependent on it is going to be hard.

Re: [Zope-dev] Proposal: Scrap zpkg for Zope2 releases
+1, back to the future... I'll note that when I was getting this stuff done in 2.7, it was incredibly useful to try to package Zope as an RPM (or deb, etc) while doing itbecause you find out where all the pointy edges are. Some of the functionality of the install routine (copyzopeskel in particular) was driven by a desire to make Zope easier to downstream- package. - C On Jun 22, 2006, at 10:35 AM, Tres Seaver wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I worked last night with folks from the Fedora Extras project who were trying to package Zope 2.9.3 for FC5+. Because they were working from the release tarball, generated by 'zpkg', much of my knowledge about how the build process works (or doesn't) was invalid: - The Makefile generated by 'zpkg' does not have bugfixes / features which have been made to the 'Makefile' created by 'configure' in a checkout. - The 'install.py' script has subtly-different semantics from the 'setup.py' script in the checkout. In particular, it was hard to figure out how to get the installed libraries correct for the x86_64 package. - We have had a bunch of bugs since 2.9 related to the 'zpkg'-based build, some related to lost features and other to various kinds of breakage (see #1967, #1968, #1996, #2030, #2081, #2082, #2083, #2121). - Working inside the 'zpkg'-generated tarball is *very* confusing, even for experienced Zope developers: Where is the source? is a frequent cry in such cases. All of this is due to the fact that none of the maintainers of Zope2 is also a conusmer of the zpkg-gnereated releases; those consumers are the downstream packagers and sysadmins who have no idea how to work in that setup, and who can't even (easily) get help on it from the Zope developer community. I believe that the extra flexibility which zpkg is intended to provide (dependency-based subset distributions, primarily) would be better served by moving Zope to use eggs, and that we should thus retire zpkg as the means for building Zope2 releases. Instead, we should recreate the version of the 'inst' stuff removed in the 2.9 beta cycle, and update it for any changes to the tree made since then. I volunteer to do the work, assuming the community concurs.

If you are working on it, then you should implement a means that __bobo_traverse__ can tell the caller that it should use the normal default. ... In our private Zope version, I have used an exception (UseTraversalDefault) for this purpose. I think that __bobo_traverse__ can raise AttributeError currently to indicate that it has failed to look up an attribute and that traversal should try other options. Apart from being a more explicit spelling, what advantage would UseTraversalDefault have? First of all, I had expected that you were in favour of explicit is better than implicit (usually, I am not). In this case, you should be happy with a more explicit spelling ;-) I do not know the current code in Zope 2.10, but earlier it looked like: if hasattr(object,'__bobo_traverse__'): try: subobject=object.__bobo_traverse__(request,entry_name) ... except (AttributeError, KeyError): if debug_mode: return response.debugError( Cannot locate object at: %s % URL) else: return response.notFoundError(URL) With this code, you were only partially right: __bobo_traverse__ could indeed raise an AttributeError to do something special -- but not to get the default traversal but to get a NotFound or a DebugError exception. That's quite different from what I proposed ;-) Should you prefer the implicit use of AttributeError over a more explicit use (the UseTraversalDefault was only some possibility; I am happy, if you find something better -- but equally explicit) to get the default traversal, I would not be completely unhappy but think: not optimal but better than nothing ;-) -- Dieter ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

Additionally we want to enable a direct login for some specific domains. Is this at all possible? I added a Domain Auth Plugin and activated it as the authentication plugin. Then I changed the order for this interface, so that Domain Auth is on top. But a request from such a domain get's an unauthorized and is redirected to the normal login page. Is there something more needed? I tried with the exact IP and with an endswith match for the domain name. What do I miss? (It's been a long time since the DomainAuthHelper was created, forgive me if I'm slow) Are you using mod_rewrite by any chance? You may need to turn on X- Forwarded-For (I forget the exact header), since in the default case, REMOTE_HOST is usually the Apache instance in such a setup.

It runs request.getClientAddr(), which does take HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, but only if the default REMOTE_ADDR is in an attribute called `trusted_proxies`. From lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPRequest.py (in some 2.7 branch): # The trusted_proxies configuration setting contains a sequence # of front-end proxies that are trusted to supply an accurate # X_FORWARDED_FOR header. If REMOTE_ADDR is one of the values in this list # and it has set an X_FORWARDED_FOR header, ZPublisher copies REMOTE_ADDR # into X_FORWARDED_BY, and the last element of the X_FORWARDED_FOR list # into REMOTE_ADDR. X_FORWARDED_FOR is left unchanged. # The ZConfig machinery may sets this attribute on initialization # if any trusted-proxies are defined in the configuration file. trusted_proxies = [] (again, this is all if you're using mod_rewrite and VirtualHostMonster) Thank you Zac, yes I'm using mod_rewrite and VHM. I added the trusty- proxy directive into etc/zope.conf, but this seems to not work. But on further on this route I added a patch from Dieter Maurer to SiteAccess/VHM and I have now the right REMOTE_ADDR in the request. But no access to secured pages :-) Another thing I noticed it, that I see that a user authenticated by the cookie-login runs through the code of domain_auth. And the cookie- plugin is used for credential extraction. As far as I understand, the actual authentication is done later. So if the cookie-plugin does not found an appropriate cookie it redirects to the login-page and the domain_auth plugin is never used?

Very good documentation snipped
I followed this path and found the culprit.
The cookie_auth_helper extends the credentials with the remote_addr
only if it found something before.
else:
# Look in the request for the names coming from the
login form
login = request.get('__ac_name', '')
password = request.get('__ac_password', '')
if login:
creds['login'] = login
creds['password'] = password
if creds or 1: # or 1 added by jhauser
creds['remote_host'] = request.get('REMOTE_HOST', '')
try:
creds['remote_address'] = request.getClientAddr()
except AttributeError:
creds['remote_address'] = request.get('REMOTE_ADDR',
'')
return creds
So actually the question is, if the test for credentials is needed at
all at this place.
I will further look into this, but thanks to Tres and ZAC to lead me
to this place.
