Nope. Nothing wrong here. Just wrap the two instances of unique_id in quotes. Sorry for not catching that in Pavlos' code. like so: >  the fields are id and title, and both take a string. The traceback was telling you that it could not find the object unique_id which it was trying to evaluate to generate a string to pass. Howard C.

Maybe their's something wrong with my Zope, but I can't get the manage_addFolder to work by itself, let alone with properties from a root folder. Odd. It try this code:  This should create a folder at that level of the hirearchy with id of 'unique_id', but instead I get this traceback-- ) Can I not give the name 'unique_id' to a new folder?

Damn it didn't work. I if I post again on this subject I get a free set of steak knives. ;-) I tried appending PARENTS[-1]. to the counter property to tell it that the counter property I want is a property of the root folder. But when I try to save the changes to the DTML, it chokes. Here's the code and the traceback:    The counter property is type:int and set to 0.  Unpack sequence of wrong size? Hmm, any suggestions?

Converting Objects to strings
by Jason Spisak 29 Mar '99

29 Mar '99

I am trying to turn ZopeTime (an object) into a string (or integer). Does anybody know how to do it without leaving DTML? I am using this as an arbitrary ID generator for new objects whose ID must be unique. All the best, Jason Spisak webmaster(a)mtear.com

Possible bug in CopySupport.py (Zope 1.10.2)
by Stefan Franke 29 Mar '99

29 Mar '99

In CopySupport.py CopyContainer._verifyObjectPaste is called by manage_renameObject with a REQUEST object passed. If REQUEST is None in manage_renameObject (the default when not called interactively) _verifyObjectPaste tries to access a user=REQUEST.get('AUTHENTICATED_USER', None) in line 326 (I have no CVS, so this is the std 1.10.2 distribution). Since REQUEST is None an AttributeError is thrown. * * * What I was trying to do is to customize the automatic renaming of object ids (if pasted) via an overloaded _postCopy. I don't know how to solve the above authentication problem (at least as intended) other than by passing the REQUEST object over to _postCopy. Ideas anyone? Stefan

By moving the roles into the > subfolder, the problem went away. Ack... I spoke to soon... but I've figured out a fix and I'd like to bounce it off the group to see if you'd think it'd break anything. The fix was to modify AccessControl.User.validate()... here's a unified diff showing what I changed... @@ +390,10 -388,7 @@ # Try to get user user=self.getUser(name) if user is None: + if self._isTop(): + return self._nobody + else: + return None - return None Key: self._nobody returns the Anonymous User object self.getUser tries to get the user object from an acl_users folder The problem I was having, was that validate() was getting passed the authentication information for the person who was defined in a subfolder which it didn't have access to... so... the validate would return none, which would raise the Unauthorized error. By having it return the Anonymous User object (only at the top level), it allows access to public areas without sacrificing security. Does this make sense... does anyone see any potential problems?
