logging for virtual hosts
by zope＠concision.com 10 Nov '00

10 Nov '00

We are using SiteAccess to have multiple virtual hosts on one Zope Server. We would like to provide our customers with stats reports based on the zope log. But entries in the log don't contain any distinguishing information about the virtual host to which the entry applies. Short of hacking zope, is there a way to modify our zope environment to to have the requested hostname included in the log entry? We know that we can use PCGI thru apache and have apache do the logging. But I'm hoping to avoid that.

Products, ZClasses and CatalogAware-ness
by Aaron Straup Cope 09 Nov '00

09 Nov '00

Hi, Could someone clarify the following for me: I would like to create a Product that instantiates itself with a ZCatalog and a search interface "built-in". I'd like make all the Product's ZClasses update the catalog whenever they are changed. If I make all the classes catalog-aware and point them to the name of the "root" ZCatalog, will they (re)index the root catalog or a catalog local to the class itself? If the latter, can I force [it] to do the former? Thanks, + Product + ZClass + ZClass + ZCatalog - search/index_html - results + ...

Re: [Zope] Security and Acquisition

Hi Morten, Yes. It's acting as if those little boxes were not checked! :) As I was replying to Jeff in a prior message, the mystery goes deeper. I grabbed a fresh copy of the latest CVS version, built it, set a superuser password and ran it. I then tried to visit the default index_html "Welcome to Zope" page and was presented with a BASICAUTH type login box. If I explicitly set anonymous View permissions for the index_html (Welcome to Zope) page, then I get in with no login as expected. That isn't normal is it? Root folder objects would appear to be having the same security setting acquisition problems as I was finding previously with sub-folders and LoginManager. I realize I'm on the bleeding edge of Zope running the CVS version, but I heard the 2.2.3 version is due out RSN and figured maybe a little "new version" pain now would be easier than upgrade pain later. I'd sure rather be saying "Here's a patch" than just "It's broke", but alas I don't grok Python that well yet. ("It's broke" still offers *some* value, right? :-) To the Zope developers: It seems pretty clear that Zope v2.2.cvs is broken in regards to security settings acquisition. Should I post to zope-dev, or is there already a sufficient awareness/understanding of the problem?

<img> tags, dtml-vars and css
by Farrell, Troy 09 Nov '00

I must be ignoramus, but I can't figure out modify <img> tags as generated by a image object. I have this: I use <dtml-var expr="img.logo_image"> to add an image object to a dtml document. How can I add a STYLE="color:silver;" or any other tag the HTML source?

Security and Acquistition Problem
by Charlie Wilkinson 09 Nov '00

09 Nov '00

Greetings, I had posted about this on Zope-dev because I'm running the CVS version, but no response there. Also more research has yielded more info. I first discovered this issue with LoginManager, but the same problem occurs with standard acl_users too. First, 'Figure 1:' / (Root Folder) / acl_test (ACL Test Folder) acl_users (User Folder) index_html (Test Document) Now, referring to figure 1, changes to security settings for the acl_test folder are having no effect on access to index_html. Only when I change the security settings on index_html itself, can I control access to it. So what this boils down to is that as of v2.2.whatever, an acl_users folder apparently does not protect the folder it's in (parent folder), but only it's sibling objects and below. Meaning that instead of setting permissions on the parent object and being done with it, one now has to set permissions for each sibling. In my case that's 50 or more objects and I'm not done coding yet. Ouch! This *can't* be right, can it? I know there's a lot that's happened with the security model, so I'm really *really* hoping this is just a bug that's crept in. Thanks for any clues, Charlie -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Charlie Wilkinson - cwilkins(a)boinklabs.com - N3HAZ Parental Unit, UNIX Admin, Homebrewer, Cat Lover, Spam Fighter, HAM, SWLer...

SiteRoot doesn't mangle FTP paths, so you can get in there and remove the base - no reinstallation headaches for the product, then, and you don't have to restart the server. -- Karl Anderson karl(a)digicool.com

It would be a list, if you added a "multiple" to your "select". > <dtml-if "1000"> This will always be true. It is constant (an expression without variable, having always the same value independent of context). What you mean is: <dtml-if "money == '1000'"> This will be true, if "money" has the value "'1000'" in the current context. Note the '...' around 1000! Without special Zope magic, request variables come in as string values. The '...' indicates a string literal. You want to look at the upcoming Zope book to learn more about the possible Zope magic.

ZMethod (Safe)
by Spicklemire, Jerry 09 Nov '00

Hello Linguistas, Shorter is better. In this light, my recommendation was "mod", short for MODule, and / or MethOD, but it didn't get into the Poll List. > We've pretty much settled on restricted/unrestricted here. Also, I suggested "strict" as a shortened form of "reSTRICTed". Perhaps to much overloading from compiler directives, but it is the root word, after all. If it's not simple, it will get simplified in use, and then you've got some folks refering to things in "slang", which drives newbies bonkers. "Official slang" is preferable, at least then you have some chance of usage being consistent. Later, Jerry S.
