ZopeTime help needed
by Jim Sanford 14 Nov '99

14 Nov '99

Am using Zope 1.10.3 on slackware.  in a ZSQL Method works.  in a DTML MEthod or DTML Document gives "You are not authorized to access ZopeTime" error This is in a folder 1 down from the root. It works in DTML Methods or Documents at the root. The only difference is that additional roles are added in the folder down 1 level but I still have a manager role with full access. Here is the traceback: ------------------------------------ Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/dc/Zope1.1/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 877, in publish_module File /usr/local/dc/Zope1.1/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 590, in publish (Info: /alarmcheck/Query/test1) File /usr/local/dc/Zope1.1/lib/python/OFS/DTMLDocument.py, line 213, in __call__ (Object: test1) File /usr/local/dc/Zope1.1/lib/python/OFS/DTMLDocument.py, line 209, in __call__ (Object: test1) File /usr/local/dc/Zope1.1/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 513, in __call__ (Object: test1) File /usr/local/dc/Zope1.1/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 260, in eval (Object: ZopeTime().strftime('%Y%m%d')) Unauthorized: (see above) --------------------------------- Any ideas?

Small problem with SiteSummary
by Harry Henry Gebel 14 Nov '99

14 Nov '99

I have the following problem using SiteSummary: When rendering a channel that I imported, the channel button showed up as a broken image. When I looked at the HTML source for the page the image url was "channelButton" when it should have been "channel/channelButton" I could fix this by copying the channelButton image into the folder, but this seemed like a needless duplication to me (I am using the channel to import an external rss file, not to publish a channel to other sites.) I fixed the problem by going into the Zclass and changing the htmlPreview to make the image URL be "channel/channelButton" but this is just a temporary solution since it won't work if I want to put more than one channel in a folder. (Or if I want to use an ID other than "channel") Can anyone suggest a permanent solution, or tell me what I am doing wrong if I am doing something wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Harry Henry Gebel ICQ# 43675297 West Dover Hundred, Delaware ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Re: [Zope] getting traceback involving BIGFLOAT

Now I have it almost working, but when I try to go >the initial Zope page, I get a traceback that I can't >figure out. <snip> I don't know about BIGFLOAT specifically, but since you seem to be running the RPM version of Zope, based on your dir names, you ought to verify the integrity of your RPM installation using the following: prompt> rpm -V python Zope Zope-pcgi If everything is OK, it won't print anything. Since your hardware problems may be system-wide, you can also verify -ALL- of your RPMs, using: prompt: rpm -Va Expect to see a lot of output as many RPMs appear changed when you edit their config files and such. You just have to look at each problem and decide whether it is serious or not. And if you see simple user/group errors (UG) or permission errors (M), you can fix them with either: prompt> rpm --setugids Zope prompt> rpm --setperms Zope This is very useful after installing new zproducts, since many of the tarballs change the owner/perms of Zope directories. Bad bad. -Jeff Rush

Invalid Header(0) from dtml-call tag
by Andres Corrada 14 Nov '99

14 Nov '99

Hi, I'm getting an "Invalid Header(0)" error when I call a method somewhat like this: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-let x='foo'> The value of x is: <dtml-var x><br> <dtml-call "an_sql_method(bar=x)"> </dtml-let> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> The SQL method correctly does its database task but it seems to trigger the error, because if I wrap the dtml-call tag with dtml-comment tags I get no error. What am I missing? I searched the list for this error and previous posters suggested inserting <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader....> but this does not make a difference either at the beginning the method above or inside the dtml-let tags. ------------------------------------------------------ Andres Corrada-Emmanuel Email: andres(a)corrada.com Owner http://www.corrada.com/mamey Mamey Phone: (413) 587-9595 ------------------------------------------------------

Mime type for PNG
by Bruce Elrick 14 Nov '99

14 Nov '99

In trying to view my site with Opera, I noticed that my PNG images (named with blah_blah_png) are send with a Mime type of image/x-png, not image/png. I can't figure out how to get opera to recognize this as a PNG (it apparently handles PNG with image/png, since it does have it defined). Why does Zope use image/x-png? Can I change this (easily)?

Re: Zope for BeOS and help!

If anyone wants this, send some encouragement. I tried both ways and it still chokes while building. Please, Mr. Pelletier, if you could fix whatever needs to be fixed to be able to run Zope on BeOS, I'd be a very happy guy. On another subject, something's wrong with my Zope 2.1.0b1/Win32 install. It worked like a charm for about a week, then today (ISO:1999-11-13) it barfs every time I try to start it. This is the message that appears: ********************************************************************** ------ 1999-11-13T16:20:48 INFO(0) ZServer Medusa (V1.10) started at Sat Nov 13 11:20:8 1999 Hostname: localhost Port:8080 ------ 1999-11-13T16:20:48 INFO(0) ZServer FTP server started at Sat Nov 13 11:20:48 1999 Authorizer:None Hostname: default Port: 8021 Traceback (innermost last): File "D:\bin\zope\z2.py", line 450, in ? logger_object=lg) File "D:\bin\zope\ZServer\PCGIServer.py", line 302, in __init__ self.create_socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM) AttributeError: AF_UNIX ********************************************************************** Please help! - Rodrigo _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Scott Robertson's Session product
by N�meth Mikl�s 13 Nov '99

13 Nov '99

I found several mails of October mentioning Scott Robertson's Session, but I did not found this product when browsing www.zope.org's product list. Where is it? Maybe it is now built in Zope? But I also found no Session product in my freshly installed Zope 2.0.1. Miklos Nemeth

Zope missing logic
by Anders Gaarsdal Holst 13 Nov '99

13 Nov '99

I have been playing around with Zope for the last month, and I must say, that I am amazed how easy most thing is in Zope. But I have discovered one great weakness in Zope: it's DTML language. DTML seems like a strange mixture of an easy to learn template language and an advanced programming language. I know nothing about Python, but it seems that I have to learn this in order to make even simple logic processing. In my opinion a descision has to be made whether to make dtml both a template and programming language or a pure template language (and leave the programming to Python methods). If the first is decided then an attempt must be done to cleanup dtml's syntax, it is nowhere near logical, and develop some new dtml tags like loops etc.. If the latter is decided then dtml still needs a clean up. I would prefer the first option, so that I (and all other newbies) don't need to spend a lot of time learning Python. Regards, A n d e r s G a a r s d a l H o l s t

NotMail install broken
by Nitin Borwankar 13 Nov '99

13 Nov '99

Friends, Romans, Zopists, I have installed NotMail on multiple NT machines using Zope 2.0.1, Python 1.5.2 after installing the IMAPAdapter and each time I get a broken icon in the products list for NotMail. This is the error message on attempting to click on the NotMail link in the products list - Traceback (innermost last): File "C:\Program Files\vimarsha\lib\python\OFS\Application.py", line 393, in import_products product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "C:\Program Files\vimarsha\lib\python\Products\NotMail\__init__.py", line 89, in ? import NotMail SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default argument (line 199) I have also attempted to install on RH6.0 same zope and python versions, with the same result. For the record Squishdot installed just fine on all these as did Confera. I must be missing something in the install process. Any suggestions ? Nitin Borwankar, nitin(a)borwankar.com
