MailHost, 2.2.1, and tracebacks
by Bill Anderson 04 Sep '00

04 Sep '00

OK, I've bee trailing this bug for quite some time, and haven't found a solution other than not use 2.2.1 :( In PortalMembership's acl_users folder's MailPassword Process ... We have mailPasswordTemplate. ========== <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('MailHost', MailHost)"> <dtml-sendmail mailhost="MailHost"> From: "&dtml-email_from_name;" <&dtml-email_from_address> To: <dtml-var email> Subject: Membership reminder Your password: <dtml-var password> Request made by IP <dtml-var "REQUEST.REMOTE_ADDR"> at <dtml-var ZopeTime> </dtml-sendmail> <p>Your password has been mailed. It should arrive in your mailbox momentarily.</p> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ========= And when called via the mailPassword method I get: =============================== Traceback (innermost last): File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Transactional) File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: mailPassword) File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: mailPassword) File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/Products/PythonMethod/PythonMethod.py, line 168, in __call__ (Object: mailPassword) (Info: ((<LoginManager instance at 8689058>, 'Bill2',#Isnippedformcontents#), {}, None)) File <string>, line 10, in mailPassword (Object: Transactional) File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 172, in __call__ (Object: mailPasswordTemplate) File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 528, in __call__ (Object: mailPasswordTemplate) File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/Products/MailHost/SendMailTag.py, line 182, in render (Object: MailHost) File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 194, in validate (Object: mailPasswordTemplate) File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/AccessControl/SecurityManager.py, line 139, in validate File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/AccessControl/ZopeSecurityPolicy.py, line 178, in validate File /local/ZopeSites/TestBed/lib/python/AccessControl/Owned.py, line 152, in getOwner (Object: mailPasswordTemplate) ValueError: (see above) =================== The exact same code (copy->paste, also prior product) works under 2.2.0. Also, for some reason, I have to have a MailHost in the acl_users folder, and that shouldn't be...I have one in root. Grumpily, Bill -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.

Re: [Zope-dev] Converters.field2date, allow empty string to return None?

win2000 service problems
by Robin Becker 04 Sep '00

04 Sep '00

I am running Zope and a simple chatlike server on Win2000. I have both set up to use pythonservice.exe. When started and stopped both services seem to behave cleanly, but earlier today when I tried to stop the long run versions both gave segment errors and after a long wait failed to terminate. I tried to terminate from the command line, but was told neither service was running, but I could see them in the task manager. I am using the version of pythonservice + helpers that came with 2.2.0. Anyone else seen this kind of thing? -- Robin Becker

MailHost, 2.2.0, and qmail mailserver
by Richard Taylor 04 Sep '00

04 Sep '00

The change in the sendmail tag to use the SMTP module has caused a problem for me when sending to a qmail mailserver. After investigation, it would appear that the smtplib module function: SMTP.mail(self,sender,options=[]): appends a space to the end of the FROM: address when there are no options. The offending line is: self.putcmd("mail", "FROM:%s %s" % (quoteaddr(sender) ,optionlist)) This space upsets the qmail server which response with SMTPSenderRefused. A quick fix is to remove this space and home that no optionlist is ever past. A more permanent fix to smtplib would seem in order. Richard

Re: Re: [Zope-dev] ZPattens Question? Guestbook example

I wondered why my post looked so bad. Thanks. I wonder if you are planning on releasing some UML stuff related to ZPatterns and Zope? I use a Freeware product called DOME. It has support for UML and COAD-YOURDON OOA. I'm don't have any formal training so I'm still trying to figure out what it all means. If you have any example diagrams that you can share that would be most kind. Here is the code I was trying to use in the first place. <h2> Inserting new Guest Book Table Info Item!</h2> <dtml-let id="'entry_%d' % len(self.objectIds())"> ni="Guestbook.newItem(id)"> <dtml-call "ni.propertysheets.manage_addPropertySheet (id='GBookProps', ns='')"> nips="ni.propertysheets.get('GBookProps')"> <dtml-call "nips.manage_addProperty('guest_name', guest_name, 'string')"> <dtml-call "nips.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)"> </dtml-let> >You can use ZPatterns from DTML alone quite easily. However, some >things >are easier from an external method or a python method. I hope it happens soon.

Proposal: local classes
by Jay, Dylan 04 Sep '00

04 Sep '00

I want to be able to have a class I can use in a subtree for things like encapsulating database rows etc. Python and ZClasses seem to be a bit heavy weight for something I don't want to use in other contexts. Is there any reason why ZClasses can't be modified to live in a folder as well as a product?

<base href="..."> not being set under some circumstances
by Steve Alexander 03 Sep '00

03 Sep '00

Zope 2.2.1 Zope is not setting the <base> tag in the html header under some circumstances. To get a reproducable example of this, create a folder "test" under the zope root object. Inside "test" create a new dtml document called "body_html". Leave the content of body_html as the default. Now, view the page, and view its source. You'll see no <base> element. Is this intentional? Does Zope now not bother with the body element if it doesn't think it is needed? This would seem to be the rationale behind the request attribute "request._hacked_path".
