Kube 1.0 (final) released
by Isaac Levy 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

THE KUBE PRODUCT IS OUT OF BETA, after extensive and positive use. Kubes are Metadata containers created for use with Zope Page Templates. More information on Kube use can be found in this downloadable PDF, http://informatikburo.net/Kube/Kube1.0_overview.pdf a bit more... -- The Zope Aquisition model is very powerfull, and Kubes leverage it's 'sliding' behavior by acting as a single 'document' with content existing as 'hookable' metadata (properties and file objects). This enables user to get the core functtionality of a SQL database, but using the Zope Object Database- (therefore the data object is completely extensible, movable, and mallieable- all in real time, with live data.) Kubes should speed the development of data-driven, ZPT based applications and websites considerably. The default data types for Kubes are oriented around a publishing-model 'story content unit' idea, but can be changed to accomodate whatever data you want to put in them! -- Best- Isaac Isaac Levy + Office of Structured Systems http://structuredsystems.net

Zope Hotfix 2002-03-01 (Ownership Roles Enforcement)
by Matthew T. Kromer 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

This hotfix addresses an important security issue that may affect some users of Zope versions 2.2.0 through 2.5.x The issue involves the checking of security for objects with proxy roles. The context of the owner user that created the object with proxy roles was not being taken into account when determining access to the object with proxy roles. This flaw could allow users defined in subfolders of a site with sufficient privileges to access objects at higher levels in the site that they would not normally be able to access. We highly recommend that any Zope site running Zope 2.2.0 through Zope 2.5.x have this hotfix product installed to mitigate the issue. Zope 2.5.1 and 2.4.4 will contain a fix for the issue, at which time the hotfix can be removed. DOWNLOAD Download this hotfix from http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix_2002-03-01/Hotfix_2002-03-01.tgz -- Matt Kromer Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/

by Andreas Jung 28 Feb '02

FYI, I have set up a Wiki that should provide a usable documentation of the Zopes BTrees package. The Wiki is still evolving but it explains (hopefully) the most important datatypes, their API and other helper functions.

First meeting in Zope User Group - Denmark
by Sune Toft 22 Feb '02

22 Feb '02

Hi :) Now you can meet likeminded Zopestians in the viking territory. Join in and be a part of an useful network. TIME & PLACE 25/02 2002 Kl. 20:00 Fabrikken for Kultur og Design Sundholmsvej 46 2300 Kbh. S. If you are able to read danish please read the text below .... Long live Zope !!! Sune Toft www.headnet.dk Danish text: Arbejder du med Zope, CMF eller Python, professionelt eller som hobby, har du nu mulighed for at møde ligesindende i Zope User Group - Denmark (zug.dk). Vi håber at den danske Zope User Group kan blive stedet hvor Zopestians kan møde hinanden og få hjæp og inspiration. Så mød op, hvad enten du er programmør, linuxhaj,designer eller projektleder og vær med til at skabe et nyttigt netværk. zug.dk vil jævnligt arrangere møder hvor Zopestians kan udveksle erfaringer head to head. Det er dog ikke nødvendigvis en forudsætning for deltagelse i møderne at man kender til Zope i forvejen, da formålet med disse møder også er at inspirere folk fra andre dele af branchen og selv blive inspireret af andre løsninger. På vore møder vil forskellige medlemmer fortælle om en konkret løsning de har udviklet - eller tænker på at udvikle - i Zope, som baggrund for en forhåbentlig frugtbar efterfølgende debat. På første møde d. 25/2 2002 vil folkene bag MM Manager.org gi' en kort introduktion til Zope og fortælle om produktet MyMediaManager og hvorfor de har valgt at lave dette i Zope. Hvis du har lyst til komme må du gerne lige melde tilbage .... Se evt. mere info www.zug.dk Vel mødt
