Including JScript/JavaScript code in DTML documents/methods works. What does the script look like and what is the surrounding HTML/DTML?

Need help with evaluation issues of Zope
by Peter.Rupp＠ual.com 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

All, I've been evaluating Zope (in comparison with Bea's WebLogic products). I'm a very experienced I.S. guy (both programmer and system admin for HP and SUN), but I'm experienced with Python and totally new to Zope. (I mention this so you can get into the low-level details without hesitation :-) ....however I would like to report a potential bug, and to gain some understanding about the product? Here goes... 1) Potential bug? I compiled Zope on an intel machine running Solaris 2.7 (using gcc 2.8.1) and Python 1.5.2 (latest). I started Zope (using Zope's bundled web server) and followed the tutorial in building a fictious web site. After adding various users/passwords to the user-acl folder (which existed under the web site's high level folder), I restarted another netscape browser to see if I could login to manage the site as one of the aformentioned users....Zope would not let me login as the new added users, but I could login as superuser. Next, thinking that that perhaps Zope was one of those products that had to be restarted to see the new userid's, I attempted to restart zope from the management "control-panel" page. It appears that Zope does restart, but.....you cannot access the Zope web site anymore....Zope puts up a page saying something to the effect "it tried to perform IO on a closed file", then a long list of trace messages. Also, in the xterm window where I started Zope, a message pops up (STDERR) saying that it cannot write to some file, then prints what appear to be octal zeros \000\000\000. Unfortunately, I don't have the specifics with me (I can send that along if you want). Any ideas here? The remote management ability of Zope is stated as a feature, but it concerns me that this simple operation fails miserably. 2) I think the tutorial is excellent, but it doesn't go into the exact meaning(s) of "a Zope user" and what the ACL list is for. This is something I really need help understanding. To me, "user" could mean the following things: a) A "site administrator" user...that is I have the ability to go through a backdoor at the web-site and perform administrative operations....whereby I would login at some point? b) A "web surfer" (who really isn't authenticated as a "user") who visits the site looking for some information that's made public via the web site. I'm guessing here, but that at some point, administrative users come in this way, then when traveling to a different folder within the site, are eventually asked to login? c) A "paid subscription" user, who after logging in, has access to his separate area and can see specific web pages on the site? These concepts are not very clear from the doc, and would appreciate any help understanding Zope's meaning of the word "user". 3) I'm running Oracle 7.3.2 on the same server that Zope's intalled...but I couldn't seem to find information on how to connect to an Oracle database. My goal was to run a simple query against a system table, and display the results. The ZSQL guide guides you through a "Gadfly" database connection, but I couldn't find anything that would connect me to Oracle. Is there something basic that I have missed here? 4) Does Zope have the capability of aiding the cgi-script programming effort for populating a database? I would like to put up a form, have the user input some items, and have these items *inserted* into an Oracle database. Is this feasable, or do I have to write my own cgi-interface? Speaking of cgi, is the only way to run a cgi-script from within Zope by creating an external Python method that ultimately calls the "system" module? Thanks in advance for any help with these issues! Regards, ==pete== United Airlines Corp. (whqkt) 847-700-3226 peter.rupp(a)ual.com

(Win98) Working offline ...
by Darran Edmundson 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

I recently installed Zope on my home machine (running Win98 rather than Linux to appease my partner) which has a modem connection (dial-up adaptor) to my ISP but no network card. If I start the ZServer while working online, it correctly globs my dynamic IP. However, started offline it runs as localhost on IP 127.0.0.1 Starting Internet explorer and pointing to http://127.0.0.1, IE complains that it can't reach this URL while working offline. Is there anyway around this "problem" or do I need to install a network card simply to handle the loopback? I really would like to develop for Zope at home without starting a needless internet connection. Any advice is much appreciated. Cheers, Darran.

readinf File contents
by Richard Smol 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

Hi there, This Zope keeps baffling me ... now how do I simply read the contents of a File-object? I appear to be able to do so, but when I try the re.split() function on the contents, I get a TypeError: "argument 1: expected read-only character buffer, ImplicitAcquirerWrapper found" What the... is it just me, or is Zope totally counter-intuitive?? Again, the docs don't give me any insights... Greetz, RS

Versions and FTP access

Hi, How does versioning work with FTP access via ZServer? I have created a new version and it works very nicely, however, I can't get to my new version via ZServer--When I load a page in my editor via FTP, it's still the original version. -- Stand Fast, tjg.

Adding a ZClass to a specific location
by Jason Spisak 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

Zopists, Maybe Kevin Dangoor has the answer to this after looking at his how-to on ZClass instances creation via DTML. I'm trying to add a ZClas instance to a spcific folder that is at a different place in the hirearchy than the method that is calling the ZClass creation. I'd like to create a ZClass instance of MyZClass inside FolderA, by calling a method from inside FolderB. Any way to do this? All my best, -- Jason Spisak webmaster(a)hiretechs.com

Hi all! I have a quite big file with Jscript object I want to include in an input form I wrote with Zope. How can I include it without having the js code in my DTML Method? I tried to declare anothere DTML Method with the js code, but it doesn't work. Any idea? Thank you in advanced, Cesare Cesare Raoss Planning srl Via Bolzano 45 38014 Gardolo (TN) cesare(a)planningsrl.it http://www.planningsrl.it
