Membership 1.0.0b1 let loose on the public.
by Bill Anderson 17 Apr '01

17 Apr '01

After long last, the first beta relase for ZMC 1.0.0 is available for download. You can retreive it from the download area, under the Releases category. There is not much in the way of newness for the first beta. The following beta will include hooks for the ZMC Manager, as well as better documentation. Short of bugfixes found during the 1 week beta1 stage, the membership code is complete. The hooks for the ZMC Manager GUI will not affect the current code in any way. Upgrading the beta series (form beta1-n and from beta to 1.0) should not cause any failures within the system, so by all means download and install the betas to aid in a quality release. I anticipate no more than two beta releases to hamme rout current documentation and typos. Noted Links ============ http://zmc.immortalitysystems.net http://zmc.immortalitysystems.net/Download/Releases http://zmc.immortalitysystems.net/docs/Installation (note, the site is in a transition phase to the new CMF, so bear with us on the look (especially the colors!) of the site for a few days, please.

iuveno Products Mailing Lists
by Stephan Richter 17 Apr '01

17 Apr '01

Hello everyone, due to the surprising response to our initial openings of DBObjects (SmartObjects), Proiektor, CMS System and ZQuest, iuveno set up some mailing lists for the projects making the communication and discussions easier. We will soon setup some project tools (such as a feature and bug collector, bulletin board, release plan ...) most likely using Proiektor itself. Also, I think we finally got rid of problem that froze our server every 2 minutes under heavier load. You forgot the link? No Problem: http://demo.iuveno-net.de I hope I see you on the mailing lists! :-) Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter CBU - Physics and Chemistry Student Web2k - Web Design/Development & Technical Project Management

[Ann] Protecting DTML objects from Web-Access
by Dieter Maurer 14 Apr '01

14 Apr '01

Dear Zopistas, Several times, I heard the wish to protect objects from access through the Web while they are otherwise (i.e. from DTML, Python Script, ...) usable as normal. This requirement prevents using the "View" permission as it covers both access from the Web and internally. We discussed earlier to split the View permission into something like a "View" (in the sense of "View through the Web") and "Use" (in the sense as use internally). Recently, I suggested an incredible complex solution for hiding doc strings. Now, I found a really easy way to achieve the goal. It is a hack, though. Splitting the "View" permission would be much more explicit. It goes like this: ZPublisher normally wants to call "index_html" (or whatever standard method handles the HTTP request) when it reaches the end of the URL during traversal. It can be prevented to do this, if either the object does not have (or acquire) the method or is has, but it is 'None'. As DTML objects, and probably many others (Python Scripts may use a different approach), do not want an acquired "index_html" to be called, they define "index_html = None". If a DTML object's "index_html" is set to something different (not 'None'), then this object is called by ZPublisher and not the DTML object. You can set any callable object. It may return a nice page telling the user that he exceeds his limits, raise an exception or set an error response status. Setting "index_html" to "None" again restores the old state. The following trivial external method can set "index_html": def setIndex_html(obj, index_html): obj.index_html= index_html Dieter

Generic Sort External Method
by Oleg Broytmann 06 Apr '01

06 Apr '01

Hello! On http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/Sort/ there is the generic Sort External Method that helps programmers to sort their sequences according to their needs. It can sort by a key, by multiple key, in ascending/descending order (different order for any key possible), by locale rules, ignoring case and, best of all, it allows developer to write his/her own comparison function for a key. Example: Sort(sequence, "akey/nocase,anotherkey/cmp/desc") This, of course, is a variant of my patch for dtml-in (http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector/2120/view) I am not going to drop one of them in favor of the other - both have its niches. There is a command-line test suite and a Zope test folder. Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/ phd(a)phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
