Can't use DTML in How-To?
by Loren Stafford 13 Oct '99

13 Oct '99

I'm trying to write a new How-To (see http://www.zope.org/Members/lstaffor/zProperties ) that includes HTML examples. So I wanted to use something like: <pre> <dtml-var ConstructorFormOld html_quote> </pre> ...to process the examples for me. But it seems an HTML How-To is not scanned for DTML. Is that true? Is there another (easy) way to do it? -- Thanks -- Loren

Basic authentication will only send authentication info when an area is restricted. ie any areas that an anonymous user can view will have AUTHENTICATED_USER set to "Anonymous User". There is nothing that can be done about this unless you resort to cookies or someother user session method (a BIG gap missing in Zope). > Phil > phil(a)philh.org > > > -----Original Message----- > From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On > Behalf Of kedai > Sent: 09 October 1999 02:35 > To: Phil Harris > Cc: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: Re: [Zope] Authentication > > > On Fri, Oct 08, 1999 at 10:44:15AM +0100, Phil Harris wrote: > > Sture, > > > > Have a look at http://d031.ml.uwcm.ac.uk/z/zGold. > > > > It's something I made as a demo for a conference I attended. > > > > There is a downloadable version that you can use to see how > I did what I > > did. > > > > HTH > > > > Phil > > phil(a)philh.org > hi phil, > i downloaded zGold and experimented/dig into the zope mine ( > well, it is to > me). > > however, i can't decide how i can bring the authenticated_name along > everywhere i go. tried setting a cookie, but can't decide > how to pass the > cookie as the AUTHENTICATED_USER.name across other path; ie > when accessing > other folders not in the zGold folders. > > pointers? docs? thanks > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (Related lists - please, no cross posts or HTML encoding! > > To receive general Zope announcements, see: > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > > For developer-specific issues, zope-dev(a)zope.org - > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) > > > >

Zope Schedule Task
by Kam Cheung 13 Oct '99

13 Oct '99

Is there a way to schedule Zope to do perform some actions? For example, can I set Zope to export a folder every night at 10 pm? Of course, since a method in Zope can be called by a url, I can write a script to visit the method every night, but I would like to find out if it can be done inside Zope. kam

Fw: [Zope] Zope and Database user authentication
by Jim Sanford 13 Oct '99

13 Oct '99

I handled this by creating a username and password in the top level acl_users folder. I then wrap every call to retrieve data in a call (<dtml-in "Query.UserSettings()"> )to an SQL method that returns permissions and other settings for the authenticated user's name. The SQL methods have embedded tests for what data can be returned based on the user settings.

New to Zope and ZODB
by Willie Peloquin 13 Oct '99

13 Oct '99

Hi, I am still a Zope newbie and I have a question for the gurus. I want to create a simple database with 100 or so entries, I know that I could use an external rdbms and polulate it an then read it via SQL. I would like to use ZODB rather than an external db. I have not found any documentation on doing such a thing. >From my best understanding, the ZODB contains all the folders, DTML, users, etc. Can somone point me towards some help, or give me some sage advice? Thanks, Willie Willie Peloquin Senior Software Engineer - Contract http://www.ismi.net/~wpeloqui "It is unwise to stray from the obvious and simple."

__ac_name and __ac_password
by Johan Carlsson 13 Oct '99

13 Oct '99

Hi, I notised that the www.zope.org site uses the properties __ac_name and __ac_password for form-based userauthentication. After not finding anything like that in my Zope 2.0.1 installation I assumed its part of the Portal Toolkit Member function? Can anyone confirm that? And when may we see the Member function released?
