Jay, Try . There was an excellent posting in the archives about all the possibilities with the user object. Also read the files in the AccessControl folder inside Zope/lib/python. -- Jason Spisak webmaster(a)mtear.com

Problem Running Zope as a win32 Service
by Aaron Gillette 10 May '99

10 May '99

Hi All, I'm new to Zope. I recently installed Zope as a win32 service running under IIS 4.0(I'm running it as an exe in the cgi-bin directory of my web site). Everything seems to be working fine. I'm able to bring up the management screen, change object properties, etc. My question is, how do I "publish" the changes that I've made in Zope. That is, Zope seems to be a completely separate entity from the rest of my site. How do I configure Zope to process requests for, say, www.foobar.com/index.html when the Zope exe resides in www.foobar.com/cgi-bin/zope.exe ? I've searched the documentation without luck. any help will be greatly appreciated. Aaron Gillette

adding a line to a property using DTML
by Martin Dougiamas 10 May '99

10 May '99

It's the simple things that stump! Is it possible in DTML to easily add a line to a property of type 'lines' ? (I can do it using external methods but would rather not) ie something like:   keeps giving me "Error value: illegal argument type for built-in operation" Cheers, Martin

ZClasses derived from ObjectManager and Factories
by Martijn Pieters 10 May '99

10 May '99

This is more a question for DC than for the list: Will it be possible in the future to limit in what places users can add ZClass instances? I have one ZClass derived from ObjectManager, let's call it Container, and another called Element, a simple object, and I want to be able to add instances of Element to Container, but not to any other ObjectManager derived objects (including Folders). Right now, this means I have to provide an alternative to manage_main.. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-6254545 Fax: +31-35-6254555 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------

External methods and images
by Tony McDonald 10 May '99

10 May '99

Hi, I have an external method that gets an image from a directory (ie the image is *not* in the ZODB) and then adds the correct headers to display it to the browser. Trouble is, it don't work. The code is... def img(self, RESPONSE, src): import os img_dir = '/home/nnle/zope/Zope-1.11.0pr1-src/Images' img_name=os.path.join(img_dir, src) # Determine the ad type img_type=image_type(img_name) # Open ad file, using 'rb' to open it in binary mode! img_file=open(img_name, 'rb') img_data=img_file.read() img_file.close() # Set the content-type of the response RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', img_type) return img_data The DTML that calls it is <img src=''> (normally the image name will not be there - it is got from another external method) and the traceback is  I've tried <img src=''>, and I get  anyone got any ideas? This is driving me batty.

Fwd: A new protocol for Zope?
by Paul Prescod 10 May '99

10 May '99

If this is the protocol that Slashdot, Mozilla and Mozilla.org use then it sounds to me as if it is relevant to Zope. http://my.netscape.com/publish/help/quickstart.html -------- Original Message -------- Subject: A milestone in XML Date: Sun, 09 May 1999 10:27:09 -0700 From: Dave Winer <dave(a)userland.com> Reply-To: Dave Winer <dave(a)userland.com> To: xml-dev(a)ic.ac.uk Dear XML-DEV people, In March we decided that RSS-based syndication was too good to pass up, so we quickly built a syndication server in Frontier 6 to compete with My.Netscape.Com. Netscape welcomed us by adding them to their directory. (Thanks Netscape!) RSS is an XML-based format that represents what we in the Frontier community call a "weblog". It's frequently updated site that points to stories on and off-site, that identifies an audience and feeds links to them. Until RSS came along the only format people were using was HTML. RSS changed that. The Motley Fool, Mozilla.Org and Slashdot are examples of online services that are supporting RSS. We're rendering them using Frontier's content management system, for now in HTML. But we are also getting ready to do an open source release of our server software, and all its interfaces will be in XML and XML-RPC, so we're not wanting to be in a controlling position from a standpoint of software or registrations. We are not using RSS to artificially drive sales of our CMS, we want to win because we're the best, not because we have a corner on the market. (Hint to Vignette.) We've decided to open the whole thing. It's too good to try to hold onto. We're doing easy to use software to develop and maintain weblog sites, and of course they will all aggregate using the next generation of RSS and today's RSS. Who knows in what perverted ways this content will flow around the net? I'm totally looking forward to participate in the creative chaos that's coming! Today's milestone is that we're publishing the list of URLs that have been registered so far. This is a dynamic list, it's recalc'd every time you hit the page. http://my.userland.com/xml/serviceList.xml From the XML-DEV perspective, the milestone is that XML is catching up with content developers. It's not too complex and the rewards are not elusive. Put up an RSS version of your site, and you get more flow. An obvious benefit. Tomorrow we'll release the source code for the server and during the next few weeks we'll add XML-RPC interfaces and document them.

ZClasses
by Phil Harris 10 May '99

10 May '99

Hi all, Just trying out the ZClass stuff. I've created a product 'Question' with one property 'Description', which is creatable and all works well. However when using manage_changeProperties to make changes through a form, the changes don't ever get saved, :(. Any ideas? TIA Phil phil(a)philh.org
