Just out of curiosity, how often do you update the book (i.e., the version on the web)? Or, put another way, how long should we consider that catching a typo or split infinitive will have already been brought to your attention but hadn't yet made it to the web site? If you update on a continuous basis, then my question is moot. However, if you update on a periodic basis, could you drop me (or this list group) a note to indicate that the next version is available for our hungry eyes? Just a suggestions...

I tried to delete a product from the Control Panel. The particular prodcut in question is the Demo Portal from ZopePTK, version 0.8, which I mistakenly imported into Zope 2.1.something. In any case, I get the following error: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: ImportError Error Value: No module named PropertiesTool What exactly is going on here? Why the heck does Zope try to 'publish' something before deleting it anyway? Thanks for your help, from an aspiring newbie! =Rob====== ====J===== =====Roos= If I don't know I don't know, I think I know. If I don't know I know, I think I don't know. R.D. Laing

LocalFS on Win2k
by Patrick Randerson 11 Oct '00

11 Oct '00

I'm trying to run LocalFS on Win2K, and access shared disks. I've read the instructions for the LocalFS package and followed them... When I try to access the LocalFS directory, I get: Error Type: OSError Error Value: [Errno 5] Input/output error I'm thinking this is a python-windows interface problem. I have Zope 2.2.2, which seems to come with PyWin build 128. I have found a build 132, but I can't install it because I don't have python installed -- only standalone Zope. Anybody using LocalFS to access shared drives on Win2k? I would love some pointers here...

Connection Problem with Oracle
by mirette Marzouk 11 Oct '00

11 Oct '00

I created a connection to an Oracle database. Frequently, the connection breaks and I got a database error in the page that displays the query result. When I logon as a manager I find that the connection is closed (by itself, nothing changed in Oracle or Zope), when I try to open it I get an error "Invalid connection string". Even if I create another connection it can't work.. After a while it works. Even after restarting the Zope server the problem persists. Thanks Mirette

Stupid questions
by Manuel Amador (Rudd-O) 11 Oct '00

11 Oct '00

Am i supposed to get "XML methods" and "Python methods" in the add product drop down? I'm baffled. Thanks =) PD: the subject says it all. Please don't flame me. I think we need a little bit more organization, some kind of comprehensive index instead of looking for documentation in several places. -- Manuel Amador (Rudd-O)

Zope Hotfix: ObjectManager subscripting
by ethan mindlace fremen 11 Oct '00

11 Oct '00

This hotfix addresses an important security issue that affects Zope versions up to and including Zope 2.2.2. The issue involves the fact that the 'subscript notation' that can be used to access items of ObjectManagers (Folders) did not correctly restrict return values to only actual sub items. This made it possible to access names that should be private from DTML (objects with names beginning with the underscore '_' character). This could allow DTML authors to see private implementation data structures and in certain cases possibly call methods that they shouldn't have access to from DTML. While we know of no instances of this issue being used to exploit a site, we recommend that any Zope 2.2.x site that allows DTML to be edited by untrusted users apply this Hotfix. http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix_2000-10-11/Hotfix_2000-10-11.tgz The hotfix will work for all versions of Zope 2.2.0 and higher. A future version of Zope will contain the fix for this issue, and you will be able to uninstall the hot fix after upgrading.
