[Zope3-Users] Status of zsync
Hi, I'm interested in zsync, but cannot find much information via google. I'm using Zope 3.4b2 and there are docs for zsync but the tool seems not to be included!? I'm developing a small zope app and I want to sync my ZPT pages with the filesystem. Or is there another way to develop ZPT pages via filesystem using a text editor like vim? regards, Achim ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

[Zope3-Users] Beginner: Reference to ZPT macros
Hi, I have a simple view. Here is the entry in configure.zcml: browser:page for=.CMS.Page name=index.html class=.CMS.PageView permission=zope.Public template=index.pt menu=zmi_views title=Default View / The view works fine so far, but now I want to use a template macro to implement a common layout. So I created a layout.pt in the same folder as index.pt. In index.pt I try to reference layout.pt like this: div xmlns:metal=http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal; metal:use- macro=context/@@layout.pt/macros/default_layout div metal:fill-slot=content div tal:content=structure view/html_content/div /div /div Now I get an TraversalError but I could not figure out why. How do I have to reference layout.pt? Do I have to register the emplate somehow? I work with Philips book, but he uses a template created via ZMI in his example. regards, Achim ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

[Zope3-Users] Expressing n:m relationship in ZODB
Hi, there was a discussion about the bad idea to simulate a relational database in ZODB using indexes and unique ids. So I wonder what's the correct way to express a n:m realtionship between objects. For example: I have projects and articles. An article might be relevant for multiple projects and a project might have multiple relevant articles. Could I simply give each object a list containing the related objects? Or is this kind of circular reference a problem? regards, Achim ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
Re: [Zope3-Users] Expressing n:m relationship in ZODB
Leonardo Rochael Almeida wrote: In usual Object Oriented modeling, an n:m relationship is usually modeled as a collection of relationship objects each one keeping one direct reference to each side of the relationship. Of course, using these systems that already try to model relationships helps you not to reinvent another wheel. I think I understand. So if I would like to reinvent another wheel, just for the educatinal purpose, I should do it like this: If I have IArticle and IProject which should have a relationship, I would introduce IArticleProjectRelation which holds a reference to the related objects. These relation objects will be managed by an IArticleProjectRelationManager which has an interface like: relate(article,project) unrelate(article,project) get_related_articles(project) get_related_projects(article) In that case, IArticleProjectRelation would be an implementation detail of IArticleProjectRelationManager and I do not have to expose it at all. And in Zope 3 terms, I would implement the manager as a local utility. Right so far? If yes, I could add helper methods to IArticle and IProject which encapsulate the access of the utility to hide this detail from the user. Would you do that? Or has it some drawbacks which I don't see yet? thanks for your help, Achim ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
[Zope3-Users] Zope 3 as WSGI app using mod_python
Hi, I'm interested in running Zope 3 via mod_python as WSGI app directly in apache. I like the idea to configure different instances simply in my apache config and don't have to setup different running zope instances. The official docs do not say much about this option, but there is a WSGI handler and I found for example this sample configuration: http://codespeak.net/svn/z3/modzope/trunk/democonf/apache2.conf Could somebody tell me what the status of this stuff is? Is it just an experiment which might be dropped in the future?

[Zope3-Users] Create catalog index via script
Hi, I have a workspace object, which I initialize in the IObjectCreatedEvent. I try to add a catalog with an index like this: ensureUtility(workspace,zope.app.intid.interfaces.IIntIds,'',IntIds,asObject=True) catalog=ensureUtility(workspace,zope.app.catalog.interfaces.ICatalog,'',Catalog,asObject=True) catalog[tmp]=CategoryIndex() workspace derives from Folder and is already a Site at this point. The last line causes the following error: ComponentLookupError: (InterfaceClass zope.app.intid.interfaces.IIntIds, '') If I remove the line, it works fine.

[Zope3-Users] ForbiddenAttribute: ('append', []) using append on PersistentList
Hi,
I have implemented a view for a catalog index. The page template
contains this little form to add strings to a list of categories:
form action=@@add_category method=post
input type=text name=name
input type=submit
/form
The view class looks like this:
class EditView(object):
def categories(self):
return self.context.categories
def add_category(self,name):
self.context.categories.append(name)
Together they are registered as:
browser:page
name=categories.html
title=Categories
menu=zmi_views
permission=zope.ManageServices
for=proCoders.interfaces.ICategoryIndex
class=.CategoryIndex.EditView
template=CategoryIndex.pt
/
browser:page
for=proCoders.interfaces.ICategoryIndex
name=add_category
class=.CategoryIndex.EditView
attribute=add_category
permission=zope.ManageServices/
If I submit the form, add_category is called, but I get the following error:
ForbiddenAttribute: ('append', [])
Any hint what I'm doing wrong?
regards,
Achim

This applications need the components of e.g. the supplier of the component running on a different server. So I don't want to mirror both, because the both companies are more or less independent. So I assume the only possible is XML-RPC (with its limitations of restricted data types and so on)? I'm not a Zope expert, but to me it sounds like you want to solve a problem with Zope, which it is not intended for. If you want to implement complex distributed scenarios use SOAP, XML-RPC, CORBA, DCOM, ... or whatever suits your needs. Then you could still implement a thin Zope utility, which wraps access to such an service, to allow easy access from within a Zope application. regards, Achim ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

[Zope3-Users] Integrating text indexing engine into Zope 3
Hi, I want to integrate support for a specialized text indexing engine into Zope 3. The engine is able to provide documents which are similar to a reference document. First I had a look at ICatalog, but IInjection seems to be the way to go. Could somebody give me a high level overview on how to use / implement these interfaces? I currently think about the following steps: - Implement the index as local utility. - Define an interface IMyStorageDocument for documents to be stored in my index. - Capture somehow if objects are created or deleted. Check if the object can be adapted to IMyStorageDocument. If yes, store it in the index or remove it. Clients then only have to implement an adapter for documents which should be indexed. To search for documents one could access the index as local utility. I'm still a Zope beginner and would be happy to have some guidance into the right direction. regards, Achim ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
[Zope3-Users] Understanding authentication
Hi, I have created a folder main below [top] and converted it into a site. I added a PAU to the site management folder and a Principal Folder to the PAU. I registered all utilities.

If I add Session Credentials utility to the PAU, I get an endless loop which tries to redirect to a login.htm. Using Zope Real Basic-Auth the login simply fails.

Re: [Zope3-Users] understanding security
Frank Burkhardt wrote: Do I understand it right, that I do not grant a permission to a principal on a certain object instance? I only grant a permission to use a certain interface!? You can either grant permissions to principals (or groups/roles) globally. Those permissions can be used in multiple ways: * To protect Views. You can only access views you have permissions for (e.g. browser:page ... ) * To protect attributes/methods of classes (*not objects*) (class ...required interface=...) * To define, who is allowed to modify certain attributes (class ...required set_schema=... ) I can follow to this point. That's how I understand Zope security until now. Additionally you may grant permissions (and role memberships) on a per object (*not per class*) basis ( using e.g. the grant.html-View) which effects only a single object. That's what I was looking for, but don't know how to do. For I example: I want to let a user create an object (i.e. a message in a message board). All users with a certain role (i.e. Admins) should be able to edit the new object, but the creating user should also be able to edit it. So I have to give him the persmission to edit.
