[PATCH] to Zope's Management Interface
Hi the attached patch to apply to zope/lib/python/OFS/dtml/main.dtml allows people who want to use ZShell to type ZShell commands directly from the Zope's Management Interface. It should be transparent for people who don't want to use ZShell at all. to use this patch, you have to : - download ZShell v1.42 from : http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/ This is mandatory to stay in the ZMI when running commands, otherwise, with older ZShell versions you'll enter ZShell user interface after entering a command. - extract it in your home directory - cd to the Zope's home, e.g. /usr/lib/zope - type the following command (as root) : patch -p0 <~myusername/zshell-1.42/main.dtml.patch - restart Zope Enjoy !!! (At least you should) This was tested against Zope 2.5.0-4 (Debian package) but applying the patch manually to other versions if needed is very easy. As always any comment is very welcome. PS : This procedure and the patch are now included in the ZShell 1.42 package.

- type the following command (as root) :

- restart Zope
Enjoy !!! (At least you should)

could you download it again ? I've tested here (no windows, sorry) and it's ok, file size is 46686 bytes and md5sum is : 6efb9c10e532d534fb843354ac28c5bb maybe it was corrupted during the download phase. hth. Jerome Alet
downloaded it several times with the same result every time I try to open it ads itself to a new archive Opening Winzip first and then opening archive results in 'no valide archive file'

I get a file size of 174.080 bytes ?
It's most likely IE 'helping' out and ungzipping on the fly.

No. I often don't think a lot, especially considering that the idea to do this 4 lines patch only came to my mind this morning... Is there a howto somewhere ? thanks in advance. Jerome Alet

Please don't call this a "hotfix". That term is reserved for products that fix important bugs (especially security bugs) in Zope. A product can dynamically patch things, using the same mechanism as a Hotfix. However, use of this mechanism does not qualify a product as a Hotfix. The terms "monkeypatch" and "dynamic patch" have been used to describe this mechanism. Please use one of these in preference to "Hotfix". -- Steve Alexander

Perhaps you could tell me if I have to use the App.Hotfixes interface or not when doing such a not-Hotfix thing. Thanks in advance. Jerome Alet

You should certainly not use the App.Hotfixes interface for this. The App.Hotfixes interface is for registering dynamic patches that will become part of Zope in a future release, at which point the dynamic patch can be removed. While you are dynamically extending Zope, I don't think there are any plans to incorporate this into the core Zope distribution. -- Steve Alexander

ok, so if I understand correctly all I have to do to make a not-hotfix product is just do an unconditionnal assignment of my new complete main.dtml file to ObjectManager.ObjectManager.manage_main in my product's __init__.py file ? am I right ?

I'm not sure whether that will be sufficient. If the ObjectManager class has already been initialized, then its security declarations will have been applied to the preexisting main DTMLFile object. In which case, you'll have to re-initialise the class, or process your own security declarations, or something like that. Then again, it might just work. Try it and see. -- Steve Alexander

Ok, for now I will go with the patch, and I'll think more about this for the next version. thanks for the help. Jerome Alet
You might want to look at the way PatchKit works http://www.zope.org/Members/haqa/PatchKit ), it allows for arbitrary patches to be added to the product, and I am looking into a way to "turn patches off" during run (i.e. no Zope restart needed).
