Only superuser can set Proxy on DTML methods?
by Brad Clements 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

It seems that when I'm managing my website as a Manager (from acl_users folder) I can not set a proxy role for a method or document. I get "you do not have the proxy role" something like that. But I can't see anywhere how to enable my userid to have this proxy role. So only the superuser can set the proxy role for a document. But once I do that, I can't edit it anymore as Manager (expected) So .. how can a Manager grant the proxy role on documents?

Re: [Zope] script execution timeout?

Be very careful with signals of any kind inside Zope: I had to patch ZServer, as the Oracle client library used signals (probably SIGALRM) when the Oracle server was unavailable. Under Solaris 2.7, this resulted in ZServer's "select" call being aborted with "Interrupted system call". Zserver was unprepared for this event and died. Dieter

There is a patch to Python's "httplib" providing a socket timeout option. Unfortunately, not all OS support the necessary socket system call, e.g. my Linux 2.0.36 does not. Maybe, your OS does.

IIS port problem
by Suzette Ramsden 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

I am hoping someone can help me. I am at the end of my line. I have tried everything and nothing else works. I am trying to install Zope on my web server on which I have a small intranet. I am using Windows NT 4.0 and IIS 4.0. Ideally I was trying to use Squishdot with Zope to create a small discussion forum that can be accessed via the INTRANET. My Web server name is SRNT and is installed on my F:\ partition drive I installed Zope in the root cgi-bin directory and called my website ZopeSite. I selected the "Run as a win32 service" F:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\ZopeSite\ I went to my browser (MS Internet Explorer 5.0) and accessed the Zope Site using the URL: http://srnt:8080/manage I successfully accessed my Zope site manager and everything was working just fine. Now comes the problem: I do not want to connect to the Intranet using the server port (8080) in the URL to access the Zope pages . I installed both Squishdot and TinyTables products on Zope and started building a Squishdot site, which I named ChatClub. However, the URL to access the Squishdot site looks like: http://srnt:8080/Control_Panel/Products/Squishdot/ChatClub/index_html I WANT IT TO AT LEAST SAY: http://srnt/Control_Panel/Products/Squishdot/ChatClub/index_html OR http://srnt/ChatClub/index_html I don't want any reference to the server port 8080. I have read several help documents on IIS and PCGI AND THEY ALL SAY DIFFERENT THINGS. One document said to copy the Zope.pcgi to the IIS cgi-bin folder and another said to copy it to the IIS scripts folder. One document showed the Zope.pcgi file path configuration completely different from mine. The document showed : PCGI_MODULE_PATH=X:\WebSite\lib\python\Main.py And mine showed PCGI_MODULE_PATH=F:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\ZopeSite\lib\python\Zope The document even had files I didn't have anywhere in my directory like pcgi.soc and some in completely different folders like: Help document: PCGI_MODULE_PATH=X:\WebSite\pcgi\pcgi.pid My file: PCGI_MODULE_PATH=F:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\ZopeSite\var\pcgi.pid I know there must be a a simple way to accomplish this. I just need someone to tell me how to do it STEP BY STEP. I am a Programmer/Analyst, but I am only a novice when it comes to servers and all the details. PLEASE HELP Regards, Suzette E. Ramsden

UserDB plus crypt
by Ed Colmar 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

Since I couldn't get LoginManger to work, I started modifying UserDb to handle encrypted passwords... I've changed it so the encrypted password is stored in the DB, but I haven't been able to get it to authenticate. Can anyone offer any insight as to what I need to do? My modified UserDb.py is attached. Thanks! -ed-

how to access the items of an array...
by zope 03 Oct '00

Hi In a form, I defined an array variable as follows: <dtml-in "_.range(1, _.string.atoi(form_numpages), 1)"> <tr align="center" valign="middle"> <td><dtml-var sequence-number></td> <td><input type="text" name="form_time_in" size="6" maxlength="4"></td> </tr> </dtml-in> After submitting the form, <dtml-var form_time_in> gives me following result: ['112', 'sef', 'fg', '23', 'iuiu', 'tz', 'fgh', 'fgh'] My question is now how to access the different items of that array? Thanks a lot for your help. Marc

Passing parameters to methods - how to?
by Cesar A. K. Grossmann 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

Hi! I'm making my own user managements methods, and I'm stucked with a (simple) problem: How do I call another DHTML method, passing parameters to it, in HTML? I'm using a DTML Method that gives me a list of usernames. I want to click on the username and get the properties for that username. I wrote another DTML Method to do that, but I don't know how to pass the username to this second DTML Method. The username list page have, for every user, a line like that (suppose two usernames, fred and jorge): <a href="ManageUserProperties">fred</a><br> <a href="ManageUserProperties">jorge</a><br> How do I pass the username to the ManageUserProperties DTML Method? I have tried to use something like: <a href="ManageUserProperties?username=fred">fred</a><br> <a href="ManageUserProperties?username=jorge">jorge</a><br> It works, but the ManageUserProperties DTML Method have another form in it, that calls itself, using the POST method: <form action="ManageUserProperties" method="POST"> Clicking in the "submit" button, it gives me an error, telling that 'username' is not defined. So I included an hidden field with name="username" and value="<dtml-var username>", but I'm thinking this is not the better way to do that... Can someone helps me? TIA -- César A. K.

Sorting and accessing elements in the
by Max Møller Rasmussen 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

I am making a mailer zClass where it will only be nessecary to make the form fields with the values you want to send, then the zClass will give you a reply on the webpage and send a nicely formatted e-mail. The problem is that the form elements are unknown but they need to be set up in predictable order to format the output automatically. To do this I need the form values in a sorted order. I can then give the form fields names like this: <input type=text name="1) First Name" value="Max M"> <input type=text name="2) Last Name" value ="Rasmussen"> ------------------------------------ Then the mail can be automatically formatted like this: 1) First Name Max M 2) Last Name Rasmussen etc.... ------------------------------------ I have tried to use the sequence-item as a key in REQUEST.form, but it doesn't work like I want it to. --------------------------------- <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var webReply><p> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('keys', REQUEST.form.keys())"> <dtml-call "keys.sort()"> <dtml-in keys> <dtml-var sequence-item>:<br> <dtml-var "REQUEST.form[sequence-item]"><p> <---- THIS IS WHAT DOESNT WORK </dtml-in> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> --------------------------------- Regards Max M
