If it factors to ZAccountingConnections and ZAccountingMethods then I agree, Peachtree would be a good first choice for a ZAccountingConnection implementation. --Rob

Determining mime type of DTML output( was: Chinese Chars in Zope 2.0b1)

I'm too lazy to do so ;) I agree that anything starting with <HTML> or other tags should be served as text/html, if it is not, then it is can probably called a mistake. OTOH, if your DTML produces just text, it will be quite hard to see if it is valid text for some charset or just binary data, so i guess ZPublisher determines that by checking for some non-ascii chars in it. I suspect that ZPublisher does this test _before_ testing for HTML and thus fails for valid non-ansi html. > Writing this code in standard_html_header or such may better, but still > dull and error-prone job. As it is generally a good idea to set the character-set there anyway, I guess it is not too hard. ---------------- Hannu

has_permission
by Florian Mueller 05 Aug '99

05 Aug '99

Hi everybody! I still cannot make has_permission to work. What I want to do is check whether a file X has permission Y. In this example, I want to see if the file X, containing this code, is viewable by the user. What I have been told I should do (thanks!) is using AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission, but I don't know what arguments I should pass. One is the permission, e.g. 'View', and the other one should be the file I guess, but how? None of my guesses work. Let's say the file is called 'test', why can't I do:  nor  ???????? Any help would be highly appreciated. Floyd PS: Please reply also directly to me, because I am not always reading the list. -- http://floyd.va.com.au

Chinese Chars in Zope 2.0b1
by kwwong63＠hongkong.com 05 Aug '99

05 Aug '99

I got some problems in running the "Hello Tutorial" under FreeBSD 3.2 and Mandrake Linux 6.0. When I enter the following link with Chinese chars into Netscape(Win95)'s ulr: http://192.168.1.19:8080/Hello/sayHello?username=TurboLinux+3.0.2+%D6%D0%CE… It pops up a "save as windows". But it works fine in www.zope.org. http://www.zope.org/Community/InvestorsCorner/Samples/Hello/sayHello?userna… It seems something wrong with the Python 1.5.2, may be missing some modules, but I don't know how to fix it. Pls help, Thanks Jason Wong ___________________________________________________________________________ Get your hongkong.com freemail at http://www.hongkong.com Free newsletters center at http://post4u.hongkong.com

How should file uploading be accomplished in zope? I mean I need to create a special form so that users could upload files to some zope folder.

It looks something like that: <FORM ACTION="manage_addFile" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> ......skipped...... <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="id" SIZE="40"> ......skipped...... <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="title" SIZE="40"> ......skipped...... <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file" SIZE="25" VALUE=""> ......skipped...... <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE=" Add "> The problem is that action manage_addFile returns me to zope management interface but I do not want users to go there.
