PropertyManager
by Max M 15 Nov '00

Does anybody know a good example that shows the working of the PropertyManager?? An example with a product that subclasses the PropertyManager and sets the "_properties" and the "__ac_permissions__" would be preferable. But anything will do. Regards Max M Max M. W.

Mark, The problem is : I have 2.0 installed on the box. But, Zope do not use 2.0 yet. It comes with its own python 1.52. The directory layout is: Python20 --- Python 2.0 for the whole system Program Files --- | Zope -- Zope installation | ---- | bin -- Python 1.52 |----- | lib python 1.52 lib | ---- | Lib Zope lib... Actually I have win32all for python 2.0 installed for the whole system. But it is not working with zope's 1.52. Is it impossible to do what I want? ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Hammond <MarkH(a)ActiveState.com> To: kentsin <kentsin(a)al.gov.mo> Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 6:15 AM Subject: RE: install win32all for Zope > At that page, it clearly says 136 is for Python 1.5.2, while 135 is for > Python 2.0.

Cut, copy & paste
by Robert 15 Nov '00

15 Nov '00

I am returning to some Zope work after a long absence and I cannot get cut, copy & paste to work in the management screens. I have a brand new install of 2.2.2 on NT4/SP6, using IE5 (with cookies enabled) and if I cut/copy something in the management screens, the paste button appears as expected. If I go to another folder, no paste button. If I go back to the original folder the paste button has disappeared. This happens as the super-user or any other user I have defined. A quick search of the mailing list and Zope site failed to turn up anything. Can anyone shed some light on this, as it's a giant pain to have to export each time I want to move something. TIA Robert PS Please cc me directly on this as I am in digest mode. Thanks.

I use Zope 2.1.6 and ZODBCDA to access an Access database. I had only the usual Zope 2.1.6 Shared.DC.ZRDB.DA problems. Dieter

Problems with Zope 2.2.2 and MS SQL Server
by Pieter Claerhout 14 Nov '00

14 Nov '00

Hello all, I'm having some troubles connecting Zope 2.2.2 to Microsoft SQL Server. I downloaded and installed the product ZODBCDA, and I was able to connect to the SQL Server. I was able to define the SQL methods, and when I test them, everything is successful. The problem is that when I use for example the dtml-in tag to iterate over the results, and display them in a page, I am always prompted for a password, but I can enter whatever password I want, I can never get through. Does anybody has an idea of what I'm doing wrong and how I can solve it?? Thanks, Pieter
