Folder hierarchy and links
by Ulrich Wisser 08 Nov '99

08 Nov '99

Hi, I would like to create something similiar to Yahoo Category Links. When you are in a Yahoo category you get a heading like: Yahoo > Computer > Internet > Software > Servers > Zope And every word in the above list is a category (folder) of Yahoo and you can klick on it and jump to that folder. Thats exactly what I want to do in Zope. Any suggestions?

Folder properties...
by Ramiro Brito Willmersdorf 08 Nov '99

08 Nov '99

Hi, I have a simple question regarding folder properties. Do properties behave as static class variables (in Java) or each client gets his own copy? At first I didn't think about it (implicitly assuming the latter.) Then I realize I might be doing a *very* serious mistake, ie, a site that could only be accessed by one user at time :) I tried to test it, and it seemed to confirm my original assumption (properties are like instance variables, each client gets his own.) Sadly I don't know Zope enough to trust my testing, so I'm asking just to make real sure. I think that what I'm asking, in other words, is if it is ok to store information about client request in folder properties, rather than on request variables. Many thanks, -- Ramiro || rbw(a)demec.ufpe.br

Creating users in sub-folders
by Mike Wright 08 Nov '99

08 Nov '99

Hi, I'm getting a behavior in trying to add users to sub-folders that I don't understand. After looking over the various support & previous messages, I didn't see a solution. I'm using Zope 2.0.1 I have an "admin" role that has most of the same settings as the Manager role (including changing permissions and managing users.) In the top level acl_users are a number of users assigned to this role. Now, the sub-folder is set with permissions set to aquire, and the permissions for "owner" and "admin" set to allow the various changes and management of users (security view for the sub-folder - I've tried both with these explicitly set at this level, and left alone supposedly aquiring the containing folder.) A user in "admin" can access the sub-folder and do anything there *except* add a user (going into the acl_users folder of the sub-folder gives the security page and no content tab.) Now, this same user can use the "local-roles" at that security page and set themselves as an "owner", "admin" or even "manager". Only if they set themselves as "manager" do they then get the add user (Contents) page. It seems odd that a user can't immediatly see the Contents frame of the acl_users folder, but can go through setting themselves as manager role and then get the contents frame. Am I missing something in trying to use the user folders this way, or is Zope somehow not using the aquired roles right?

Thus, ZCatalog is used programatically. Those that are ZCatalogAware, sure, but what about the basic Zope objects that aren't. ExternalMethods, DTML*, and such don't inherit from ZCatalogAware so how are they kept up-to-date in the index? Have they acquired special methods you've written that make them self-indexing? Also is there a time-saver option I can pass to the reindex operation that says *don't* reindex those objects that *are* ZCatalogAware? On casual inspection, I never see basic objects in the zope.org SiteIndex, as if you filter out little things like Images, ExternalMethods and such? Is this true? And lastly, does DC have any debugging tools for ZCatalog? I've got a case where when I use the management_tab to reindex, objects are later found in the catalog, but when I do the same thing with a block of DTML code, the objects are _not_ found, however, they _are_ shown and counted when I use the two management tabs on the catalog. I'd like to dump the indices and see how the two situations differ. I clear the catalog btw each scenario. -Jeff Rush

Anybody got NotMail up with Cyrus?
by John Hermes 08 Nov '99

08 Nov '99

Hello all, We have a Cyrus IMAP server (FreeBSD 3.2) handling our email, and since we are using Zope for some current development, I thought that NotMail looked very interesting to implement a web-based mail front end. After making a NotMail object, and attempting to access it through a browser, I get this error: Sorry, a Zope error occurred. Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.0.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.0.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.0.1-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 201, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.0.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 151, in publish File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.0.1-src/lib/python/Products/SiteAccess/ChangeBehavior s.py, line 267, in traverse File lib/python/Products/IMAPAdapter/IMAPAdapter.py, line 208, in validate (Object: RoleManager) TypeError: unsliceable object When accessing NotMail's index DTML document directly, I do get a web authorization logon dialog, but entering permutations of various logons/passwords from the IMAP server all fail quickly. I read the documentation, and the acl_users folder is supposed to authorize from the IMAP server. I have also tried adding User Roles to the containing folder to correspond to those listed in NotMail.

Wysiwyg editor + Zope
by Oscar Picasso 08 Nov '99

08 Nov '99

For a project I have, I would like to implement the following functionality. 1- Having an area on a Web page similar to the text area, but with more editing capabilites. The area should behave like a basic Wysiwyg word processing application: - ability to select some text and to make it bold, italic... - ability to change alignement of any selected paragraphe. Any of the previous formatting changes should be immediatly visible on the area on the the Web page. When the user choose to save its text it should store it as a Zope object containing the text. Each of the formatted part of the text should be marked with some tags (the text will be processed later in Zope to produce some new output). The end users will work on Windows so maybe there are some specific tools in Windows I could use? Any idea? ****************************************************** Oscar Picasso picasso(a)videotron.ca ******************************************************
