Re: [Zope-dev] ZPatterns style question
Hi Lex, This is a little bit of a tricky question. Here is what I think is the *intent* of ZPatterns. The details of storage are to be left up to the implementor/integrator. Given that they are the only ones who really know where all the goodies are hidden (sql? zodb? etc.. ) your app shouldn't assume any particulars here. What your app *can* do is demand that the objects that are used satisfy a particular interface (e.g., have certain methods or attributes that behave in particular ways.). With ZPatterns, what look like attributes can really be methods, due to the flexible nature of SkinScript. I see in your tutorial that you're trying to help the integrator by putting SkinScript in for them... but I think that in ZPatterns, it's probably better to leave that up to them... or at least to assume ZODB ( something everyone has) rather than SQL. Does any of that make sense? take care, -steve "Lex" == Lex Berezhny [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Lex Hello, Lex I dont know if i'm missing something, or if this is just a Lex style question.

Hi Johan, I wrote: The best way I've found is to provide a method (or methods) in the Specialist of the contained item to get ids of those instances satisfying certain criteria... e.g., getToDoIdsForDoer( aDoer ) (the contained item keeps a reference to the id of its container.) then you replied: How well does this apply to the WhoIKnow pattern?

I can't really find any Patterns that matches n-n situation, so I assume it my modell probally would wrong if I end up with that, right? then I went on vacation. ;-) I think that in most of these situations you can have a 'catalogish' method in the Specialist that manages the 'n' things that finds those related to the '1'. (e.g., getToDoIdsForDoer( aDoer )). This can then be mapped to an attribute of the '1' specailist (myToDos), so that it does 'know' about all it's todos, its just that under the covers (in it's rack) the myToDos attribute is really fulfilled by calling the todos specialist and asking for all the todos assocaited with a particular doer. In the n-n case it's really no different, except that each 'n' thing needs to know which of the other 'n' thing(s) it's associated with so the catalogish method can pull out the ids. fun eh? take care, -steve ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
[Zope-dev] z2.py and environment variables

Greetings,
Menno Brandsen
This is a question better served on the main Zope mailing list. That
said, here is the answer:
All DTML is executed on the server before the page goes to the client.
That is why your images get deleted by viewing the page. The onclick
attribute is only useful for executing client side scripts like
JavaScripts, etc. To execute server side code, you must make the user
request the method that deletes the images. This is done by sending the
server a page request. So, you need to create two objects in Zope to
accomplish this. One that displays the images and another that deletes
the requested image and redraws (by a redirect) the image display page.
Here's an example:
dtml method view_images:
dtml-in name="objectValues('Image')"
dtml-var name="sequence-item"
a href="dtml-absolute_url;/delete_image"Delete this image/a
/dtml-in
dtml method delete_image:
dtml-if expr="meta_type == 'Image'"
dtml-call expr="manage_delObjects(getId())"
dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.redirect(URL2 + '/view_images')"
/dtml-if
This code is generic enough so that it would work in any folder. You
could place these methods above the folder(s) containing the images for
greater generality.
It might seem a bit confusing how this works if you don't understand
acquisition. The view_images method creates a link to each image in the
folder you call it for. The link is to the image object itself with the
delete_image method appended. This tells Zope to call delete_image in
the context of the image the user selects.
manage_delObjects is not a method of the image, but the image acquires
it from the Folder that contains it. So delete_image passes the id of
the image (using getId()) to the manage_delObjects method of the folder
containing it. It then redirects back to the view_images method which
will be sans the deleted image.

[Zope-dev] DCOracle2 Alpha 5
I just packaged up DCOracle2 Alpha 5 on Zope.org. Given that there are no glitches or geez-I-shouldnta-changed-that-at-the-last-minute fixes present, I'm ready to have a wider set of people eyballing it. A few have, largely just from seeing it show up on the News column of Zope.org. If you use DCOracle, either with Zope/ZOracleDA or directly, and are interested in evaluating it, I am currently welcoming all feedback, from packaging, documentation, functionality, etc. While I am nominally subscribed to zope-dev, I route all its mail into a separate folder that -- surprise, surprise -- I don't read very frequently. I strongly encourage people to contact me directly with their comments or questions. I have NT builds and Unix/NT source available at http://www.zope.org/Members/matt/dco2 The NT build is against Oracle 8.1.7; I am not a real NT person so I don't know how portable that binary is. I am *NOT* interested in answering general Oracle questions; I'm trusting those who mail me will take this into consideration (i.e. if it isn't about DCOracle or DCOracle2...) This should build on Solaris with gcc and on Linux systems; I have no access to other platforms to try them. The 'make' command at the top directory should be sufficient to build from source on Solaris or Linux. Obviously, you need Oracle installed -- I get flaky behavior with Oracle 8.0 on Linux, but much better behavior with Oracle 8.1. Stupid database inserts (e.g. repeat 'INSERT INTO...' 100 times) seem to be about 25% faster than DCOracle. LOBS seem to work. Stored procedures (at least my simple ones) work. Complex stuff may not. I still have not done any REF CURSOR stored procedure testing, so that's probably quite buggy. Ditto automatic conversion for ROWIDs (see the documentation at how to get at the raw unconverted data). I get bad Oracle behavior (NULL data) trying to insert more than 8-10 rows with executemany() but it's very random and not visible where the problem is (it just *CANT* be an Oracle bug!) Anyone who wants to do platform migration to other 'nixes is encouraged to submit patches. If you rate the docs, please don't complain about formatting in the HTML version, as it's just a "save as..." HTML doc, and looks like it. The dco2documentation.aw file is the source document, but I've also provided postscript, rtf, and html versions. And, while there is a setup.py in the top level (for distutils) it isn't platform aware; Andreas Jung kindly provided it to me and I haven't spiffed it up, since I (like Majikthies and Vroomfondle) demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty (read: I know how to do it better with shell scripts makefiles).

[Zope-dev] [ ANN ] LDAPLoginAdapter 1.1 released
LDAPLoginAdapter 1.1, a user folder replacement that authenticates against an LDAP server, has been released. You can view some of the documentation and download the software at http://www.dataflake.org/software/ldaploginadapter/ A Tracker at that same address allows you to easily file bug reports or feature requests for this product. Improvements and bugfixes since the last announcement include: **LDAPLoginAdapter 1.1** Features Added: * Instead of hardcoding fixed publicly available attributes onto the LDAPUser object you can now take full control of the mapping from LDAP attribute to public user object attribute. A public user object attribute is an attribute that is directly accessible on the user object. DTML code like "AUTHENTICATED_USER.email" is an example of accessing a directly accessible attribute on the user object. A lot of legacy DTML code relies on such attributes. Bugs fixed: * finduser() now lowercases all DN records from valid groups and compares it to a lowercased DN from any search results among user records. This fixes records not showing up if the capitalization in the group and on the user record is different. * When a user object was created the code expected a "mail" attribute on the LDAP record to set the email attribute used for compatibility with the Tracker. This has been repaired and will just default to an empty string. * Users who use tools like PADL's migration script end up with records that do not have the expected "sn" attribute. This is not set to a default value in finduser() to avoid errors in case it is not there. This will make the LDAPLoginAdapter compatible with user records of type posixAccount. **LDAPLoginAdapter 1.0** Bugs fixed: * Due to a bug in checking the return values from an LDAP search the cache can be polluted by invalid records for failed logins. This did not constitue a security breach, just more processing than necessary. **LDAPLoginAdapter 1.0beta3** Bugs Fixed: * Moved the LDAP search scope translation list from a volatile attribute on the LDAPLoginAdapter to a module-level attribute. This avoids any re-initialization calls. * Eliminated the extra attribute _v_loglines that counted the length of the log. A simple call to len(self._v_log) replaces it where log length info is needed. * Created one centralized method that handles connecting to and searching the LDAP server. This allows centralized error handling and makes for less and cleaner code. So far finduser, getUserDetails, getGroups, getUserNames and _lookupuser have been converted to use it instead of having their own connection code. * Rooted out error that would put a known user into the cache even though the password was not matched. This was not a security error since the broken user had the wrong password and failed any tests in validate() * Rigorous pruning of overly long lines of code to pare everything down to 80 chars width max * Avoiding unnecessary calls to the logging routine by checking for the correct log level *before* the call and not in the logging method. * Added a file, SAMPLE_RECORDS.txt, that shows a sample group- and user record. This will hopefully make it easier to understand the types of LDAP records needed. Features added: * Nicer Search screen adopted from the LDAPUserManager ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
Re: [Zope-dev] Comment on CVS change
Casey Duncan wrote: I rarely find myself using any explicit boolean operators when I use Google. And even when it returns 657,340,269 pages, the ones I wanted tend to be in the top 30. I think "OR" searching is fine if the result scoring can be done intelligently somehow. It's pretty simple. The default operator should continue to be 'OR', but the result sorting should give precedence to results that satisfy the 'AND' condition. No, I don't know hoe to get it to do this. Didn't Catalog results used to have a 'score' attribute for something like this?
