What about

   ... your code without "REQUEST" mangling ...

This redefines "standard_html_header/footer" inside the "with".
Should work for DTML methods/documents.

When you pass 'None', the DTML method can only use the content
of REQUEST. If you pass "self", it can additionally use the direct
and acquired attributes of "self".

Run

ps -ef|grep python

or 

ps auxww|grep python

(depending on your system; the latter is preferred).  Zope usually runs
two processes: a process manager and the real server.  The process
manager runs as root and the real server, which actually handles the
connections and talks to the file system, has many threads.  So, if
configured correctly, you should see one python process running as root
and several others running as nobody (or whataver you configured the
user to be).  The process manager just restarts the real server
automatically when it dies.

Yes , but through use Medusa as standalone server.
Look at http://www.nightmare.com/medusa/index.html
Download http://www.nightmare.com/medusa/medusa-src-2601.tar.gz
and look at and /docs directory,  INSTALL.txt and especially, start_medusa.py.

[Zope] File referencing and LocalFS

Here's what I'm using to transform spaces to '_':

path = string.translate(path, string.maketrans(' ', '_'))

This is only invoked on file upload.  If you're doing it a lot, I'd
just create the translation table once and stash it in a member
variable.

If you're doing this from DTML, the following untested code should be
a clue:

Better check that maketrans and translate are in the version of the
string module available for DTML...

It'd be more like:

I.E. inside the quotes you're in Python and par1 and par11 are
assumed to be variable names.  The quotes would mean you were looking
for folders named "", etc.  Note that you neither need
nor want a '.' between the subscripts.

As long as you don't use products that read and write arbitrary files
(such as LocalFS), Zope doesn't provide any way to write to any
directory but the "var" subdirectory (or if it does, it shouldn't and
will be fixed.)  So yes, Zope's architecture does provide decent
isolation from the file system.

Also keep in mind that Zope does not run as "root", so if you are
running on a Unix-like system such as Linux, even if Zope were fully
compromised an intruder would still have to find a security hole in
something else before it's possible to write to arbitrary files.

I found a solution that is much easier than hacking the

  You do not plan to use REQUEST for information about the

  This can be achieved without REQUEST

[Zope] File referencing and LocalFS

2000-07-03 Thread Rogerio Atem de Carvalho


I am using LocalFS to refer to a directory structure 
like this:

folder1
  |
  folder11
   
There are image (.jpg) files in both folders. I have 
two questions about this:

1)Folders names are directly related to string fields 
in a MySQL database which use spaces between words (eg 
New York), but folders names don't use spaces (eg 
NewYork). How can I skip spaces from database fields to 
make them refer to these folders (eg New York --> 
NewYork)?

2)Using LocalFS, can I do something like '].[''], where par1 and par11 are folder names (after 
skiping spaces)?

Rogerio Atem

You are both right.

In principle, you can use "sequence-item" and get the object.
Later, when you use it, you can select whatever you need.

However, you used:

The "_[...]" calls "...", if this is callable.
Thus, "_['sequence-item']" first returns the object and then
calls it, if this is possible. In case of a DTML method, the
result would be the rendered body of the method.

You can use "_.getitem('sequence-item')" to get the object itself
and not the result of calling it.

Not out of the box. ZServer, which is based on Medusa, doesn't support serving
of HTML files from the local file system, it noly serves content out of Zope
itself.

There is a product on Zope.org called LocalFS that allows you to integrate
filesystem based content into Zope though.

There are two factors which determine whether or not transactions can be
supported. Actually, there's only one, but it can't be directly tested
for:

1) If the server version (easily obtained upon establishing the
connection) is < 3.23.15, transactions are definitely not supported.

2) If the database in use employs BDB tables, transactions are definitely
supported.

The problem is: Support for the transaction manager is done with a MixIN
class, so the decision on whether or not transactions should be supported
in the DA comes before the connection object is created. Which raises an
interesting possibility: On the connection object's Properties tab, add a
checkbox which indicates that transactional semantics are required. The
status of this checkbox determines which class is used for the database
connection. This might be workable, not really sure.

[Zope] Oracle 8.1.6 setup file for DCOracle

2000-07-03 Thread Kiran Jonnalagadda


I've just put together a setup file for Oracle 8.1.6. I started with
including all the libraries in Oracle's library directory and then
removed the ones that gave me errors.

It works fine except for when I present an SQL query with a syntax
error. That makes Zope crash. Anybody know why?

[Zope] Is there a better way to code this?

2000-07-03 Thread Luke Tymowski


Hello,

I'm still having trouble trying to get Zope to use/ignore header and footer 
code in the appropriate places.

To have Zope ignore the footer code in one place but still display footer 
code on other pages, I've resorted to this:

   
 
   
   
   PermaLink
    
 
   



My problem was that on the first sequence item returned, Zope would insert 
the footer code. On items 2 and 3, Zope would not display the footer code, 
and, again, at the end of the page, when I did want the footer code to 
appear, it wouldn't.

I had no trouble with the header code.
I assume it had no trouble with the header code because by calling it to 
display that document itself, Zope inserted the code and set the 
renderedheader to 1, causing it to be ignored elsewhere in the document, as 
it should.

So. Is there a better way to do this? Or is the above meet and right and 
not worthy of shame? I want to write a How-To so other newbies don't have 
to go through what I did.

thank you,

Luke

Hello, Dierk,

There are several ways to use a relational database from within
Zope. A good start for you would be the Zope SQL methods. Read the 
documentation about them at
. 

Then experiment. When you get stuck, ask questions on this forum.

Re: [Zope] Why can't I subclass a ZSQLMethod?

2000-07-03 Thread Ivan Raikov

What do you mean, you cannot get a view to it? I can change in the
management area. I believe ZSQL methods are not supposed to provide
the user interface; you use them the way you would use an external
method. That means you have to create the form that sends the query
parameters to the SQL method, and you have to write the DTML code that
obtains the result set, and displays it accordingly.

At least that's way I do it; there might be a better way, I don't
know. 

Best,
Ivan

   Which way?

   Few weeks ago I installed 2.2.0b2 and did experiments with SiteSummary
and FlexFAQ (ZClassess I've downloaded from www.zope.org). I didn't have
any problem.

   Later I installed 2.2.0b3 and without testing SiteSummary I went to
creaty my own ZClassess. This didn't work. Then I found SiteSummary has the
problem, too. Seems I broke someting. The first thing to try will be to
reinstall Zope from the very beginning and not install any additional
Products, right?

Not sure.  Supposedly objectValues() returns "actual objects", and
I assumed that using sequence-item would be something closer to that.
  The finer points of python are still lost on me, but I'm working
on it.

The bigger problem seems to be the namespace issue that Dieter was
speaking of.  When I tried your code, I got Attribute errors on
__getitem__.  It appears that Tree does not inherit the usual DMTL
namespace.  I've been looking at Tree trying to figure out how to add

They are a special feature of ZClass development.  The spaces let you
write implementations of methods that would otherwise conflict with
existing methods.  That's why you can, for example, write your own
"manage_main", which would normally conflict with the implementation of
manage_main in the Folder class.  Instances of ZClasses remove the
trailing space, making the method fully available.

Now, it sounds like Zope may have some problems with property sheets and
URL conversions.  Let's try to solve that.

[Zope] problem with ZopeFind and objectValues

2000-07-03 Thread Jerome Alet


Hi,

please could someone explain me why when accessing the same zope site
anonymously:


   - 


works as expected and displays a list of id and titles of the current
folder's subfolders, but


   - 


gives me the following error:

"""Unauthorized

You are not authorized to access id."""

If I set a proxy role of manager to this dtml-method that doesn't change
anything, it still doesn't work.

If I log in as superuser both work the same (Zope 2.1.6).

In fact I want to do a ZopeFind with search_sub set to 1 to recurse all
subfolders from the current one. Is there any other method to do it, or
should I set a particular parameter to a particular value (not found how
to really use ZopeFind in ZQR, the sample is far too short IMHO).

How can I restrict a search in Zcatalog to the current folder and its
subfolders ?

[Zope] Comments on 2.2 Help System


Apart from the 'Wow! Zope has Help!' comment:

The API documentation is very useful. 
How do we feedback about it? (eg: why is there PropertySheet and
PropertySheets?)
When will it be complete?
How do we submit docs to appear in it? What is the moderation process
like?

Sadly, the rest of the 'Zope Help' section needs a lot more structure to
be useful. At the moment, the names don't even fit in their browser pane
:(
Perhaps something along the lines of the portal structure on
zdp.zope.org would be useful for categorising these documents?

If these are the 'help screens' you get when you click the help button,
maybe they shouldn't be listed here at all?
I have to say, I think the M$ help system on Windows might be a better
model:

1. A Contents Page - kindof like the zdp portal listing, or a contents
section of a book.

2. An index page - A list of all the documents in the help system, which
seems to be largely what the 'contents' tab is now.

3. Search - which needs to be explained better than it is. Can boolean
searching be used? Do I need to quote things? How do I search for
dtml-in?
(Maybe a help screen would be useful ;-)

Maybe there should be links to the Contents Page as well as help on your
current location from in the management interface?

Finally, you should make it clear elsewhere that /HelpSys on your site
will go to the Zope help system. Maybe this needs to be blockable, after
all, why should www.mysite.com/HelpSys give the Zope help system, when I
might want it to be my company's help system for their products?

Which suggests that maybe the help system should be a separate product
from Zope, running on its own server. For example, take a company which
has LOTS of zope servers. The sysadmin would prefer to maintain one
up-to-date copy of the Zope docs on a 'documentation server' which has
documentation for all the Zope versions in use, rather than wastefully
running the same number of documentation servers as there are Zope
instances...

...heaven forbid, DC could actually run a master one of these at
doc.zope.org which would be the most complete and up to date...

Views?

cheers,

Chris

[Zope] User Management Styles


Hi,

I've noticed two styles for managing users in Zope.

1. Have one User Folder in the root of your Zope instance and then
manage what users can do through Local Roles (PTK and Zope.org spring to
mind)

2. Have user folders at each level of your content tree. This is as
recommended in the ZCMG and otehr older docs.

The question is, which method is better?

My comments would be:
1 is better if the site is 'managed' by a system such as PTK or uses
components such as LoginManager that are non-trivial to setup.
2 is better if you REALLY want to delegate authority for subfolders. The
obvious one is Zope ISP's with more than one client per instance of
Zope.

Please not the 2 currently has serious problems (see the 'Every user
should have the Anonymous role everywhere' thread) and I'm sure I
remember readign about bugs with Local Roles (btu I expect they've all
been fixed by now...)#

Comments?

Chris

RE: [Zope] MySQL transaction support (was: MySQL Select Statements)

2000-07-03 Thread Monty Taylor


Why not have one ZmySQLDA that attempts to determine whether it is 
transactional or not when the connect method is executed. That way you 
could have a DA connect to your 3.22 database, upgrade your database to 
>3.23.15 and not see any problems. A combination of try-except:ing an 
attempted "begin rollback" block and a test for database type should do 
the trick, no? If it's 3.22 or earlier, the begin-rollback should throw 
the synax error Andy mentioned. If that's ok, a test for database type 
(not sure about this one) to see if it's BDB? If all of this is wrapped 
in the connect method, we should be able to make it 'do the right thing' 

Thoughts?

[Zope] Deinstalling Products?!

2000-07-03 Thread Jonathan


Hi all,

Removed a product from the Products folder, but Zope still seems to 
import it from a folder that is not there anymore. Does Zope cache it 
somewhere or what?

Any ideas?

[Zope] The story with 900 files/Zope hanging..

2000-07-03 Thread Jonathan Desp

That's weird, maybe it's a bug, or maybe zope is not powerful enough,
but when I'm copying and pasted 

http://zope.atomasoft.com/resumebank/addPostingForm/manage_workspace

then change the url in netscape for -->

http://www.atomasoft.com/resumebank/addPostingForm

then be able to see my page I'm working on,

then a problem appear, I mean zope stop, I cannot browse inside zope and
I can't browse inside www.atomasoft.com/etc..

No one here know a patch for that problem ? no one here is smart enough
in zope(because I'm not) for solving that problem ? Here you can read
what David said, maybe it's a clue:

[Zope] ZCatalog pointing to wrong object.

2000-07-03 Thread Bart Holthuijsen


Hi all!

I have been having some problems with ZClasses and the Catalog.
I made a new Catalogaware External Product, based mostly on the Boring and 
Photo products. When I add an instance to a folder the Catalog is updated, 
but doesn't point to the right object.

The product inherits from Catalogaware and Objectmanager (and some others).

Example:
In the folder "test" I add an XML Folder (the product) with name: "fold" and 
title: "no1".
The Catalog shows a new object with name "test" and title: "no1".
If I then add an XML Folder to test with name "fold2" and title "no2" the 
Catalog still only contains one object: test/no2.

If I want to delete the objects I get some weird behavior. The first one 
goes without a problem, it removes the entry from the Catalog. The second 
gives an error message:
"Error Type: ValueError
Error Value: Uncatalog of absent id 'Test' " This can probably be explained 
by the fact that there was only one entry pointing to the Test Folder.

Below I'll paste a bit of the XMLFolder.py file:

from Products.ZCatalog import ZCatalog
from Products.ZCatalog.CatalogAwareness import CatalogAware

import OFS.ObjectManager
import Acquisition
import AccessControl.Role

from Globals import HTMLFile  # fakes a method from a DTML file
from Globals import MessageDialog # provid
from Globals import Persistent# makes an object stick in the ZODB

manage_addXMLFolderForm = HTMLFile('XMLFolderAdd', globals())

def manage_addXMLFolder(self, id, title='', REQUEST=None):
"""Add an XMLFolder to a folder."""
self._setObject(id, XMLFolder(id, title))
if REQUEST is not None:
return self.manage_main(self, REQUEST)

class XMLFolder(
 CatalogAware, # Self indexing.
 OFS.ObjectManager.ObjectManager,   # A Folderish object.
Persistent,# Make us persistent. Yaah!
Acquisition.Implicit,  # Uh, whatever.
AccessControl.Role.RoleManager # Security manager.
):
"""XMLFolder object.
"""

meta_type = 'XML Folder' # what do people think they're adding?

manage_options = ( # what management options are there?
{'label': 'Contents',   'action': 'manage_main'},
{'label': 'View',   'action': ''}, # defaults to index_html
{'label': 'Security',   'action': 'manage_access'},
)

__ac_permissions__=( # what permissions make sense for us?
('View management screens', ('manage_tabs','manage_main')),
('Change permissions',  ('manage_access',)   ),
('Change XML Folders' , ('manage_edit',) ),
('View XML Folders',('',)),
)

def __init__(self, id, title=''):
"""initialise a new instance of XMLFolder"""
self.id = id
self.title = title
self.manage_addFolder('test','',0,0)

Does anyone know what the problem might be, how I can get the Catalog point 
to the right object? I'm using Zope 2.1.4 on Windows NT.

Thanks in advance,
Bart Holthuijsen.

Seriously, though, I think this SHOULD be true, although I'm pretty sure
it isn't.

Or, to put it another way, just because an acl_users folder doesn't know
anything about a user, why should that user not have the anonymous role?

Try the Squishdot 0.4.1 a select 'plain'. You should get the same

[Zope] ZClass beginners question

Hi,

I want to connect our own proprietary database to zope. I know 
which features I want because I did an ordinary CGI-application 
already. I would like to use a ZClass. My question: For connecting to 
my database do I have to use external functions? The goal is to 
construct a product like thing that we could easily give away.
