I'm working on a HOWTO for this. It should be done later today...

Just like Soap, but different :-) 'z' as in 'zebra' and 'ope' as in 'oap' :-) > Does the word mean something special, It was one of the few things that wasn't trademarked and not 40 characters long quite honestly. If you look back in the archives of the bobo list, you'll find a lot of discussion about naming. As for ZClasses, ZCatalog, I can only say how it's pronounced around here: Zee Classes, Zee Catalog Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli(a)digicool.com http://www.digicool.com

problems with variable substitution
by Heiko Stoermer 23 Aug '99

23 Aug '99

Hi Zopists, I have problems getting this going... I have two DTML Documents, the first one containing a list of objects in an other folder ( lets call it /foo/) of my Zope tree, and a second document that is to clone the previously selected object into the current folder (/bar/). But I don't get the right Syntax: What statement do I have to use , considering that the id of the selected object is in REQUEST['sel']), to get the following (which is straight from the CMG example):  pre-appreciating your help ;-), Heiko. -- Heiko Stoermer MIG Augsburg

Zope objects are stored in the Zope object database. As a result, an approach where users have their resources in the server's hard disk (e.g., ~user/zope) won't work (without some calisthenics)... Zope has the notion of folders which are close analogs of directories. It's likely that your users might never know their stuff isn't on the filesystem but rather in the ZODB (until, that is, you Undo their delete! :^) --Rob

> How should "Zope" be pronounced? I thought it would start like "zone" and end like "soap". More problematical are words such as ZClass, ZCatalaog. As a native of old Albion, I would say "zed-class", "zed-catalog". But I suspect that is not how their authors would pronounce them. --- Alastair

Zope for 200 users?
by Sven Kirmess 23 Aug '99

23 Aug '99

I'm going to setup Zope 2 on a machine with about 200 users (now using Apache). I don't know how many are going to use Zope. I'd like to use Zope trought Apache. Each user should have his ressources un his home dir (e.g. /~user/zope/). Now my Question. Do I have to start a z2.py for each user (Described in http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/jec/virtual_howto_html) or is there a better solution? Sven -- PGP-Key-ID: 0x881BF222

Zope and security
by Arnaud Lecat 23 Aug '99

23 Aug '99

Hi I'd like to talk about security and Zope. How secure is Zope ? If you have two interface on one server can you configure Zope to display manage screens and public Web pages on two different nic interface. Any known security bugs or exploits ? My sysadmin is paranoid about security...

ANN: Redirector 1.0
by Alexander Staubo 23 Aug '99

23 Aug '99

Redirector is an experimental folder product for redirecting object requests. Any request to a subobject (whether it exists or not) in the folder is redirected to a designated target URL. A flexible mechanism for mapping specific URLs is also provided. For example, you might have an URL such as http://oldserver/foo (running Zope, of course) which you've moved to your brand new server http://newserver/bar (Zope not required). Once you have deleted or moved the foo folder or object out of the way, create a Redirector object called foo on the new server, set its Target property to http://newserver/bar, following which requests for http://oldserver/foo will then be redirected to http://newserver/bar. Given this, if a user then requests http://oldserver/foo/fnargh, the request will simply be redirected to http://newserver/bar/fnargh. The Redirector object also supports mapping rules: For example, if the old server had a subobject called "milk", which now exists on the new server under the name of "honey", then you can create a mapping which simply maps the old object to the new object. Mappings support (or rather, require) regular expressions to be used, so you could also map any object starting with the letter M to a specific object, for example. (Support for regular expression groups are planned.) Added bonus feature: If you set the Redirector to "hard mapping" mode, it will fall back to the default target URL if none of the mappings match the requested URL. That means -- if you're like me, converting a dull old Netscape server to a new Zope site with lots of magic fairy dust added -- that you can create mappings for all the old documents that should be redirected to their Zopefied counterpart URLs, but for all the documents that are deprecated on the new server, the redirection will be set to the server's root folder. Thie product is experimental only in the sense that it has not been extensively tested. Please report bugs, problems, or inconsistencies to me. http://www.mop.no/~alex/download/redirector-1.0.tgz -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell.
