Hallo, I have the problem. Zope 2.7.0, Plone-2.0.3, Linux I list actions from portal_actions actions python: here.portal_actions.listFilteredActionsFor(here) I recive a list with actions. Depending on kind of logged user I recive that list in diffrent count. I mean that when I'm Manager the list is bigger than I'm SiteManager. I suppose that it depends on permissions. Where I can set it? I would like to recive the same list being Manager and SiteManage as well. Thanks in advance KK

Developing plugins for PluggableAuthService
by Lennart Regebro 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

I just made a very neat plugin for PAS. I added it and activated it for everything it can do. It is now the *only* plugin active for Extraction, Challenge and Reset Credentials. The problem is howvere, that nothing happens. None of the methods in the plugin gets called, ever! So, eh, has anybody else here written plugins for PAS so they can point me in the right direction? //Lennart

Pointless code in ZPublisher.HTTPRequest ?
by Paul Winkler 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Can anyone enlighten me on what this is for? >From ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.HTTPRequest.keys: n=0 while 1: n=n+1 key = "URL%s" % n if not self.has_key(key): break n=0 while 1: n=n+1 key = "BASE%s" % n if not self.has_key(key): break Unless I am particularly stupid today (quite possible), the above has no affect on the return value, and no direct side effects. I tried commenting it out and ran all unit tests with no apparent difference. While digging deeper for indirect side effects, I see that self.has_key() calls self.__getitem__() which calls self.get(). The only side effect of self.get('URLn') that I see is that if self.other.has_key('PUBLISHED'), the calculated URL will get cached for the duration of the request in self.other['URLn']. (And also in self._urls which AFAICT is used only to keep track of which keys we've written to self.other, so we can quickly clean them out in _resetURLS().**) So maybe that's the sole purpose of the code in question; some extra logging suggests that it does in fact have that effect. But it's hard for me to be sure. Can anyone confirm or deny? Or is there something else that I'm missing? ** btw, this too smells a bit funny to me... why bother to keep a separate data structure in sync, when we could just do: for i in range(9): try: del(self.other['URL%d' % i]) i += 1 except KeyError: break -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
