There is a nice well designed ad server written in PHP3 that you might wanted to bring some ideas from it.

hints for improving zope quick start
by Jan-Oliver Wagner 15 Oct '99

15 Oct '99

Hi, here some comments on improving the quick start for Zope newbies. It is what would have saved me time finding it in doc/INSTALL.txt. - better not to have of-scrolling password when issuing python w_pcgi.py. Martijn Pieters already promised to fix it. - please hint at the fact the ./start by default will not return. You should also tell, that removing -D from ./start will switch of this [debugging mode]. - "python zpasswd.py -w auser access" will not ask for the missing password though specifying no arg it will start prompting. It would increase the tools usability to make it more adaptive, because . Additionally: zpasswd.py: I really can't remember the last time I *saw* the password I typed in. Shouldn't this be changed? -Jan -- Jan-Oliver Wagner http://www.usf.uos.de/~jwagner/ Intevation GmbH Sci. Ass. Inst.of Environmental Systems Res. http://www.usf.uos.de/

Re: [Zope] Zope a good solution for this?

> What is the status of the Sybase DA? We have developed a new "ground up" rewrite of the Sybase DA internally (with funding from several sources) and it is currently in early testing. This will be made available to those who funded it first, for some period of time (Paul Everitt can comment on that period) and then released to the general public under the ZPL. We feel this is fair to those who funded it. Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli(a)digicool.com http://www.digicool.com

more siteserver vs. zope.
by Chris McDonough 15 Oct '99

15 Oct '99

I know you're probably all sick of this topic, but here's Thomas Tomcziac's (?) response in the siteserver.general newsgroup to my most recent arguments concerning Zope vs. Site Server: http://x42.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=536727424&CONTEXT=939943722.162594859&hitnu m=0 He argues that Python, and therefore Zope, cannot connect to COM objects (or other ORB systems), and that for this reason Zope is not even really an application server. Its a design criticism. I know he's wrong, of course, but my interest in the topic is waning. Feel free to take exception to his arguments if you care.

Permission Question
by Dan Rusch 14 Oct '99

14 Oct '99

Is it me or is it Zope? I have a directory structure something like this: root level1 level2 level3 In level2 I have an acl_users folder which I have defined a user "joe" joe doesn't seem to be able to login in (he logins in at http://www.somedomain.com/level1/level2) joe sees a login screen, therefore we know he has the correct url, but when he types in his User Name and Password he gets an Authorization Failed Screen. If I define joe in the root's acl_users folder then he can log in. Does this mean that all users must be defined in the root, and therefore all roles must also be defined in the root? Oh please let this not be true! DR

Help! Why doesn't this work...
by David C. Morrill 14 Oct '99

14 Oct '99

All I want to do is create a list of DTML Documents in a Folder that have a certain property defined. However, every variant I've tried of the following simple code causes an "Infinite recursion in document template" error: <dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectValues(['DTML Document'])"> <dtml-var "_['sequence-item'].id"> </dtml-in> It seems to be caused by the reference to 'sequence-item', but for the life of me I can't figure out why this should cause a problem. Anyone have any ideas? Dave Morrill
