Zope logic
by Wei He 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

Hi all, I have tried Zope for a week and found a logic problem. An object (say index_html) is inherited by child objects of the site say Document to make http://www.domain.com/Document share the upper level index_html. This sounds good but acutally not I think. People will be really confused to see such results: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZopeBook/Documentation http://www.zope.org/Images Is there a way to setup an object to be uninheritable or as private to avoid this logic? Or maybe we should workout a way to do so. Wei He

Temp Folders and Transient Object Containers
by Jeffrey P Shell 20 Jun '02

20 Jun '02

Under the category of "feigning smartness by blindly copying what I see", In a subfolder of the Zope root, I set up a browser_id_manager, a session_data_manager, a temp folder (cleverly named 'temp_folder'), and put a Transient Object Container inside that temp folder, named 'tix_sessions'. Of course, when I restarted Zope, the 'tix_sessions' object itself was gone. So, why is the default Transient Object Container put in a Temporary Folder? If I want to use an application specific one that doesn't get lost on restart, is it OK to put it into a normal persistent folder? -- Jeffrey P Shell www.cuemedia.com

problems with accented characters - need advice
by Eric Brun 20 Jun '02

20 Jun '02

hello, we are looking for a simple solution to ensure that objects added to the zope database have valid names... including those which start out containing accented characters ( we are in europe ). we are considering making the change in our PUT, located in NullResource.py in the webdav area. we are wondering if anyone has any comments about this solution... is it a good idea. anyone have any other ideas? we have a process method for correcting accented characters and is located in the constructor of the object class : it works like ob.id = processID(name) here is the change...we have added 'ob.id or name' to setObject method request. <code starts here> # Delegate actual PUT handling to the new object. ob.PUT(REQUEST, RESPONSE) self.__parent__._setObject(ob.id or name, ob) Eric Brun Savoie Technologie Savoie Technolac

Questions about BasicUserFolder.authorize
by Chris Withers 20 Jun '02

20 Jun '02

AccessControl.User.BasicUserFolder defines: def authorize(self, user, accessed, container, name, value, roles): what is 'roles' in this context? I'm working on a new release of SUF. I'd like to provide a scriptable method which can decide what roles a user has at a given location. Ideally this would look something like: roles_def= { '/folder/object': {'chris':['Manager'], 'fred':['Anonymous']} } def getUserDetails(self,name,object): return { 'password':'apassword', 'roles':roles_def[object.absolute_url()][name] } Would 'authorize' be the correct place to plug this in? If not, has anyone got any suggestions? cheers, Chris

Need to patch SiteRoot ?
by Romain Slootmaekers 20 Jun '02

20 Jun '02

Yo, we have a website with 2 parts: a public part (http://www.greatsite.com) and a private part (https://www.greatsite.com/private/) We use the apache proxy + SiteRoot approach. (configuration added below ) Anyway, everything works perfectly for the users of the site. The problem is that we can't manage the site through https because the SiteRoot object for the public site returns http url's instead of https. Logical, but a nuissance. My idea is to patch the SiteRoot code so that the protocol for the virtual root is the same as the protocol used by the request. so https://www.greatsite.com/manage will return pages with urls of the form https://www.greatsite.com/<whatever>. This is probably 30 minutes of source code browsing and 5 minutes of patching and testing. My questions are: -) are there different solutions to this problem ? -) If I patch the SiteRoot, will you guys check it in our do I have to patch future releases again and again ( Syssiphus like torture ) TIA, Sloot ------- begin of configuration ------------------------ ###### Apache #### NameVirtualHost www.greatsite.com <VirtualHost www.greatsite.com> ServerName www.greatsite.com ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/greatsite/ ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/greatsite/ </VirtualHost> NameVirtualHost www.greatsite.com:443 # <VIRTUALHOST www.greatsite.com:443> ServerName www.greatsite.com ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/greatsite/ ProxyPassReverse / https://127.0.0.1:8080/greatsite/ SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl.crt/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/ssl.key/server.key </VIRTUALHOST> and 2 SiteRoot objects (in the ZODB) in /greatsite folder base http://www.greatsite.com path : / in /greatsite/private folder base https://www.greatsite.com/private/ path : / ---------------------------- end of configuration ---------------- "Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world."

ZServer package
by Matt Behrens 19 Jun '02

I have a possibly silly question. Why is ZServer outside lib/python, and every other package inside?

Crash & Burn with Zope 2.6.0a1 and ZEO 2.0a1
by Andrew Sydelko 19 Jun '02

19 Jun '02

Well, I have a 3gig ZODB that we have been using fine with Zope 2.5.1 / ZEO 1.0. Trying Zope 2.6.0a1 and ZEO 2.0a1. The storage server seemed to come up fine, but when trying to start the ZEO client it pretty much sucked. I really should include the log file it produced but it's quite long. I put it up at http://eng.purdue.edu/people/sydelko/zope_2.6a1_log_1 It ended up dying at the end, but that I think I can fix. I'd really like someone to clue me into why everything else complained. --andy.

Can someone tell me if there are any ways that 2.5.1 could interact with any software already installed ? I think (but I am maybe wrong) that Zope is distributed with its own Python to be insulated from this type of problems. -- Godefroid Chapelle BubbleNet sprl rue Victor Horta, 18 / 202 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve Belgium Tel + 32 (10) 459901 Mob + 32 (477) 363942 TVA 467 093 008 RC Niv 49849
