How to override __getattr__ and not break acquisition
by Erik A. Dahl 17 Oct '02

17 Oct '02

Ok I need to override __getattr__ in one of my product classes. I'm sure this is killing acquisition but not sure about the persistence stuff (I think this is working). Is there a way to make this work? Here is what I'm doing: def __getattr__(self, name): if name == 'myattr': return self.myattr() I assume that somewhere in the Acquisition code there is a __getattr__ but I can't find it. I tried calling Implicit.__getattr__ but its not there. If some one has an example that would be great. -EAD

KeywordIndex errors: This should not happen.

Hi all Our app has been hitting these errors for months: 2002-09-30T11:06:27 ERROR(200) KeywordIndex unindex_object could not remove documentId -444153566 from index ComponentVersions.

There *is* an entry in the Catalog for that RID, which *has* '44.131' in the list under the 'ComponentVersions' key in the dict returned by getIndexDataForRID. Did the RID get removed from the KeywordIndex list of RIDs prematurely? Or did it never get inserted? Can anyone shed any enlightenment? Where else should I be looking? -- Jean Jordaan Upfront Systems http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za

Only anonymous in an Access Rule?
by Chris Withers 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

Hi, How come getSecurityManager().getUser() returns the Anonymous User in access rules? Surely some checks must have been done to see whether the folder containing the access rule can be traversed to? If so, then why is the anonymous user still being returned? If not, then huh? I'm confused :-( Chris

Problems using Z SQL Method result
by Aparajita Fishman 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

Help!! I am trying to write a product that will encapsulate a SQL query and render the results in a table. But I'm having a terrible time getting at the data in the SQL results. This works in DTML: <dtml-in expr="sql_method()" prefix="row"> <p><dtml-var expr="row_item['name']"></p> </dtml-in> But if I try this in my product's code directly: result = apply(sql_method, (), {}) for i in result: foo = i['name'] I get the following exception: Error Type: UnpickleableError Error Value: Cannot pickle <extension class Acquisition.ImplicitAcquirerWrapper at 5e8140> objects Traceback (innermost last): File /Users/zope/zope2/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 150, in publish_module File /Users/zope/zope2/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 114, in publish File /Users/zope/zope2/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 159, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: dv) File /Users/zope/zope2/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 102, in publish File /Users/zope/zope2/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 173, in commit File /Users/zope/zope2/lib/python/ZODB/Transaction.py, line 234, in commit File /Users/zope/zope2/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py, line 346, in commit (Info: (('Products.DataView.DataView', 'DataView'), '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00>A', '')) UnpickleableError: (see above) Alternately, if I try to return the result from my product to DTML and then use that in a <dtml-in>, I get the same error.

Hmm, you may check out http://collector.zope.org/Zope/517 but it could be the same difficulties as we experienced earlier. The problem here was that Zope thought it was returning UTF-8, while it was really returning ISO-8859-1. This was due to the <dtml-var "u''"> statement not having the desired effect. <dtml-var "u' '"> (notice the space) seemed to work brilliantly. > So how are these Unicode changes supposed to work? Are non-ascii > characters forbidden now? And how do I get UTF-8 text into Zope? There are converters inside ZOPE. UTF-8 is simply a transport format, although it may be used for storage to save space. There is lots of software that supports UTF-8 today. This is the future. > While I'm quite sure that this will help Zope in the Asiatic region, it > seems quite inconvienent for isolatin1 world :( This will be a win in Europe as well, especially for multilingual sites. IIRC there are 15 variants of ISO-8859-1. I18N is *very* important, and Unicode is an essential ingredient. Arnar Lundesgaard

Problem with security context when calling DTML Method
by Vladimir Mozhaev 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

Hi! I'm writing a proprietary set of python classes for my product. As part of this product, there is a base class with redefined index_html method. This method looks for some object (practically, DTML Method) in it's context with predefined id and tries to call it. The problem is that my object loses security context, and DTML Method is called under Anonymous User priveleges: security.declareProtected(View, 'index_html') def index_html(self, client=None, REQUEST={}, RESPONSE=None, **kw): """ """ if client is None: client=self index=getattr(client, self._template_id, None) if index is None: if RESPONSE: RESPONSE.notFoundError(self.absolute_url()) else: raise security=getSecurityManager() security.addContext(index) return apply(index.__call__, (client, REQUEST, RESPONSE), kw) Is anybody can to point out my mistake? Best regards, Vlad Mozhaev

REQUEST object enlightenment needed
by Colin Leath 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

Hello, I'm making a tree out of a StructuredTextDocument e.g.: StructuredTextDocument([ StructuredTextParagraph(o This is colin's test tree doc., [ StructuredTextParagraph( o most salient overall:, [ StructuredTextParagraph( x. finish this project. and journal project., [ ]) ]) ]), StructuredTextParagraph(o and something else , [ ]), ]) With the following external method: from ZTUtils import SimpleTreeMaker import StructuredText def StTree(container, REQUEST, context): treeobj = context.testdocument #this is a CMFDocument #Get the EditableBody of a CMFDocument containing structured text. tree_root = StructuredText.Basic(treeobj.EditableBody()) #Note that if I use a ParsedXML Document, everything works fine! #tree_root = context.ParsedXMLTestDoc tree_name = 'mytree' tm = SimpleTreeMaker(tree_name) #Change the child access function so it will work with StructuredTextDocument def getKids(object): return object.getChildren() tm.setChildAccess(function=getKids) #note the following hack! (it doesn't work all the way, that is my problem) #if I don't do this an error results. tree_root.REQUEST = container.REQUEST tree, rows = tm.cookieTree(tree_root) rows.pop(0) return {'root': tree, 'rows': rows} This code works, in that the first indent levels of the structured text are returned as the top-level nodes of the tree. However, clicking on them does not expand the tree. If I replace the Structured Text tree_root with a ParsedXML Test document, and comment out the tm.setChildAccess line and the tree_root.REQUEST hack, a working tree document results. I think this is a problem with the plain StructuredTextDocument lacking it's own request object. Can anyone give me any pointers? My goal is to create an easy way to make documents that can be expanded and collapsed like documents in MSWord outline format. If there's a simpler solution, please let me know! Thanks! Colin Leath

script location and traversal question
by Joost van Lawick 29 Sep '02

29 Sep '02

Hi, Suppose you have have your products in a folder Main, scripts in a subfolder Scripts and object instances in a subfolder Things, i.e. something like this: Main ---- |___ Scripts | |___ Things Now call a script doit on an object Obj: http://localhost/Main/Scripts/Things/Obj/doit If I want to redirect this call, and context is Obj, I do it like this: url = context.restrictedTraverse('Scripts').absolute_url() + '/' + \ context.absolute_url(relative=1) + '/doit' return context.REQUEST.REDIRECT(url) The first line creates: http://localhost/Main/Scripts/ the second line Things/Obj/doit It works but is it good code? Is there a better way to doit? Maybe the problem is more in the organization of Zope scripts and objects. For now, I group scripts into Folders directly under Main and things of users of the site in Main/Members/... If a member wants to access some script, I have to include the script Folder into the path, which leads to more 'complex' code. If I stuff all scripts into Main directly, without subfolders, I don't have to insert the first line, but then I end up with a Main directory loaded with scripts. How should one handle this?

__before_publishing_traverse__ calls RESPONSE.redirect(): is there another way to change the browser URL?
by Craeg K Strong 28 Sep '02

28 Sep '02

Hello: I have defined a __before_publishing__traverse__() method in my Zope product. Its job is to redirect the URL displayed in the browser to a nice looking URL, something like "../myapp/invoices/123" instead of "../myapp/execute" That way all my ZPT forms can call the same method: execute(), and I don't hardcode any URLs in my ZPTs. The objective is to encapsulate my resource-to-URL mapping so that it can be changed independently from the ZPT code. I don't want to use setVirtualRoot, because I want to change the entire URL, not just "all but the leaf" The problem is that __before_publishing_traverse__ is getting called *twice* for each button press. *First* it gets called with the "../myapp/execute" URL. This is when I call RESPONSE.redirect() *Second* it gets called with the "../myapp/invoices/123" URL I am trying to understand how Zope works with the HTTP REDIRECT machinery. Is there a way to make the URL that is actually displayed in the browser *different* from the Zope method name you are calling, aside from using RESPONSE.redirect()? Thanks in advance, --Craeg Strong Ariel Partners LLC
