The one for me is the ability, in effect, to shout 'Me too!' when I see a bug that I've experienced too. Maybe this would help filter down the collector or at least give anotehr way that it could be prioritised? cheers, Chris

Product release: ExtFile/ExtImage 0.91
by Heine, Gregor 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

Version 0.91 of the ExtFile/ExtImage Software Product has just been released. The ExtFile and ExtImage Products store large files in an external file-repository and are able to display icons for different MIME-Types. The ExtImage Product additionally creates preview-thumbnails from images and displays them. ExtFile and ExtImage basically work like the Zope File and Image products but the (binary) file is not stored inside the ZODB, but in an external file-repository. Only meta data (like title and description) are stored in the ZODB. This prevents the Database swelling up quickly, when many large files are uploaded and thus increasing database performance. Version 0.91 fixes an important security issue, that allowed read access to any file in the local filesystem (readeable for the UID of the zope process). The Product is avaliable at http://www.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/ExtFile/ MacGregor!

Well, it sort of does :-) It writes the time in GMT, followed by a string to represent the timezone it ought to be writing it in. So, if the time here is 9am GMT+1, a log entry would be written as 24/Aug/2000:08:00:00 +0100 date+time in GMT BST timezone This is the wrong time though, as it is 8am BST which is 7am GMT, which is one hour earlier than the time the request was made. What is should be writing is either the time in GMT: 24/Aug/2000:08:00:00 +0000 date+time in GMT GMT timezone Or the time in the local zone 24/Aug/2000:09:00:00 +0100 date+time in BST BST timezone > I agree with you, that it should not. I just checked, and my copy of Apache logs in local time (my last example). So I agree that following the convention and logging in localtime is best. I also checked Zope 2.1.6, and the same bug is there. However, either way, I'd prefer ZServer to log the time requests were made, not time-tzdiff as it does now :-) There's this problem for anyone in a timezone remote from GMT that any analysis of their Z2.log will be skewed by their timezone difference. Anyone in Australia been wondering why most of their locals appear to log in during the very early morning? Of course, this isn't an issue if you run behind Apache, and you analyse the Apache logs instead. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

Re: [Zope-dev] LoginManager.

I did that. I feel I am missing something obvious. What I do is: * create a folder named "/test" * inside /test I choose login manager from the "avaliable objects" drop down. * select "solid user source" from the menu. * press "add" * create an index_html which Anonymous is not allowed to see. When I access /test from an unauthenticated webbrowser it finds that it can't view it and pops up the username/password window, but neither retreiveItem nor anything else gets called. Does anybody have any clues? I am using Zope 2.1.6 LoginManager 0.8.6 and ZPatterns 0.3.0 -- - Terje tm(a)funcom.com

Production Creation question (sorry about the accidentally html posting)
by Daniel Rusch 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Sorry for accidentally posting in html no idea how it got set to html. I've created a product called BasicDocument. I've installed it and it works great. I've also created a folderish product. Installed. When a user selects that product from the available objects list, thus creating an instance of that product, they have an option to create sub folders which contain objects like dtml documents, dtml methods, and my BasicDocument product (very similar to what happens when you instantiate a folder object, you can have a dtml method created in the new folder). I am able to have the manage_addSimpleSite function to create DTMLDocument, DTMLMethod and Folder objects but I am unable to have the function create BasicDocuments (which live in the Products directory) additionally, I am unbale to it create any Products from the Products directory, such as Local File System????? The code below works great, I get a dtml document, two folders each with a dtml method in them.... HOW CAN I CREATE A LOCAL FILE SYSTEM OR ANY OTHER OBJECT FROM THE PRODUCTS DIRECTORY IN THIS MANAGE_ADD FUNCTION??????? ob.manage_addBasicDocument(id='index_html', title='') <-- THIS LINES GENERATES AN ERROR: AttributeError: manage_addBasicDocument ref the code below. Please reply all if you are responding from the dev list as I usually don't monitor the dev list.

Zope as CGI with IIS & Windows 2000 Server
by Eric Goodman 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

URGENT! Need assistance with Zope as a PCGI with IIS 5 on Windows 2000 server. After configuring Zope for use as a PCGI, and configuring IIS to use the pcgi-wrapper.exe, etc... The test link: http://localhost/Scripts/Zope.pcgi ...is returning the following message within the "Temporarily Unavailable" error response page:  I have tested the file using parseinfo and get no response. A theory, at this point has been that there is a conflict/incompatibility with Zope as a PCGI with IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000. Does anyone have information on this... Any response is appreciated... Thank you, Eric eric(a)cegbiz.com
