Getting user roles
by Daniel G. Rusch 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

We are trying to get all the user roles for a given user (someone). we tried this: <dtml-var "acl_users.get_local_roles_for_userid('someone')"> all it does is returns an empty set. P.S. Someone does exist and someone does have roles. Any thoughts, Dan

Adding a document using a form
by Mike Pelletier 16 Nov '99

Lalo Martins <lalo(a)webcom.com> asks: > I have a form where the user can add a DTML Document to a > folder with very special tweaked permissions. Works like a > charm. Zope is amazing. :-) > > However, I'd prefer to be able to give users my homepage after > they submit the document, instead of Incoming/manage_main. Is > that possible? Umm, here's something to try. Remove the special permissions from the form page, and set the form's action to a DTML Method that you create. Give _that_ new method proxy roles to create pages. Do your request validation there, too. From within the new page, use a DTML tag like... <dtml-call "manage_addProduct['OFSP'].addDTMLDocument(id, title)"> I _think_ manage_addProduct is a mapping type and needs to be used in that manner, but you might have to experiment. At any rate, this will create the document, and since there is no REQUEST being passed to addDTMLDocument it won't redirect the browser. Then you can redirect them yourself, or display whatever message or form you might like from this page itself. Mike.

There is an ERROR in DTML-IN
by Ulrich Wisser 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Hi, some of you will remeber me asking about ZSQL and batch processing. I wasn't able to get a "next page" link. I verified that error. "previous-sequence" is only true in "sequence-start" while "next-sequence" is only true in "sequence-end".

RE: [Zope] acl_users from Zope.org [Q]

We rolled our own 'Member Folder' which is a modified version of the stock acl_users. It will be included in the PTK. BTW, please don't send HTML formatted mail to the zope lists. -Michel -----Original Message----- From: Bruno Mattarollo [mailto:brunomadv@ciudad.com.ar] Sent: Monday, November 15, 1999 5:20 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] acl_users from Zope.org [Q] Hello...

RE: [Zope] HOw to Connect MySQl database to Zope
by Chris McDonough 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Hamdi, You don't use a ZODBC database connector to access a MySQL database... instead use a ZMySQL database connection. You select this from the Add Item dropdown menu within Zope. If "Z MySQL Database Connection" isn't an option within this dropdown box, then ZMySQLDA isn't installed properly (note that after installing ZMySQLDA, for the change to "take", you need to restart Zope). Once you've gotten MySQLDA working, when you add a ZMySQL Database Connection, the Add dialog will ask you for a database connection string. This string has the syntax: database[@host] user passwd So for a database named "zopetestdb" on a host named "sparky.digicool.com" where a MySQL login exists named "root" with a password of "goodstuff", the database connection string would be: zopetestdb(a)sparky.digicool.com root goodstuff Chris McDonough Digital Creations, Inc.

Set the content-type to something that the user's browser recognises as 'something to download'. Try 'application/octet-stream'. Anthony

downloading files to the client
by Robin Becker 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Is there any obvious way to force information to be saved as a client file? In the absence of a browser independent way to copy tables to the clipboard I will create an external method for dumping the information directly to the browser as a 'file'. How should I guarantee that the user gets a file save as dialog? -- Robin Becker

DTML-IN batch processing broken?
by Ulrich Wisser 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Hi folks, is there a known error in DTML for batch processing? I can't get it to work with ZSQL. Although I copied all demo code from DTML Reference. Is it my fault? Or is dtml-in broken? Whatever I do the next-sequence property will never be true. Thanks Ulli Here is what I use: <dtml-in sqlListDirectories size=5 start=qs> <dtml-if sequence-start> <TR><TD COLSPAN=2 CLASS="contenttitle">Verzeichnisse <dtml-var sequence-step-start-number> - <dtml-var sequence-step-end-number> (total: <dtml-var count-name>) </TD></TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN=LEFT> <dtml-if previous-sequence> <A HREF="<dtml-var document_id><dtml-var sequence-query>qs=<dtml-var previous-sequence-start-number>">Vorherige Seite</A> <dtml-else>   </dtml-if> </TD> <TD ALIGN=RIGHT> <dtml-if next-sequence> <A HREF="<dtml-var document_id><dtml-var sequence-query>qs=<dtml-var next-sequence-start-index>">Nächste Seite</A> <dtml-else>   </dtml-if> </TD> </TR> </dtml-if> <TR> <TD><A HREF="dtEditDirectory?dirid=<dtml-var id>"><dtml-var name></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="<dtml-var url>"><dtml-var url></A></TD> </TR> <dtml-else> <TR><TD CLASS="contenttitle">Verzeichnisse</TD></TR> <TR><TD><H2>Keine Verzeichnisse vorhanden</H2></TD></TR> </dtml-in> -- ----------------- Die Website Effizienzer ------------------ luna-park Bravo Sanchez, Vollmert, Wisser GbR Ulrich Wisser mailto:u.wisser@luna-park.de Alter Schlachthof, Immenburgstr. 20 Tel +49-228-9654055 D-53121 Bonn Fax +49-228-9654057 ------------------http://www.luna-park.de ------------------

Moving Zope Installation
by Jochen Haeberle 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Hi, I guess I have some problems after moving moving my Installation of Zope 2.0.1. I unpacked Zope to /usr/src and got it up and running. Messed around a bit etc. Now I would like to have it at /usr/local. I copied the directory and run 'cd /usr/local/Zop; python w_pcgi.py' again. This worked fine. Zope starts from this location and all the things I set up are still there. But sometimes I get errors about missing files, where the files are searched in the old, no longer existing, location. Most notably when there is a problem with the lock-file, for example if Zope is already running. Is this a severe problem? Can I do anything about this? Is there something like a 'make clean' that would take care? Regards Jochen
