Yihaw product Catalog error
by peter bengtson 09 Nov '00

09 Nov '00

I have installed the Yihaw product, because I am going to use the Contact class. The changes I have made to the ZClass are minor. I have only changed the Property Sheet of Contact and the appropriate changes to index_html and Contact_addForm. I can add a contact, but after having done that and I click the newly created Contact I get a NameError. Error Type: NameError Error Value: Catalog How to solve this? Regards, Peter I have NT4, Zope 2.2.2 Traceback (innermost last): File C:\PROGRA~1\Zopesite\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File C:\PROGRA~1\Zopesite\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 187, in publish File C:\PROGRA~1\Zopesite\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: CatalogAware) File C:\PROGRA~1\Zopesite\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 171, in publish File C:\PROGRA~1\Zopesite\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_baseproperties) File C:\PROGRA~1\Zopesite\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_baseproperties) File C:\PROGRA~1\Zopesite\lib\python\OFS\DTMLMethod.py, line 172, in __call__ (Object: manage_baseproperties) File C:\PROGRA~1\Zopesite\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 528, in __call__ (Object: manage_baseproperties) File C:\PROGRA~1\Zopesite\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_In.py, line 633, in renderwob (Object: Catalog(meta_type='Yihaw Pointer')) File C:\PROGRA~1\Zopesite\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py, line 337, in eval (Object: Catalog(meta_type='Yihaw Pointer')) (Info: Catalog) File <string>, line 0, in ?

Security and Acquisition
by Charlie Wilkinson 09 Nov '00

09 Nov '00

Greetings, I know this a very busy list, but I'm hoping someone can take a moment to address this. I had posted about this on Zope-dev because I'm running the CVS version, but no response. 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 (above :-), 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 seemingly boils down to is that as of v2.2.whatever, an acl_users folder does not protect its siblings and their kids by acquisition of security settings from the parent folder. Instead, sibling objects must have their security explicitly set. Meaning that instead of setting permissions on the parent object and being done with it, one now has to set permissions for each and every sibling. In my case that's over 50 objects and I'm not done coding yet. Ouch! This *can't* be right, can it?

Re: [Zope] Is data.fs corrupted?
by Stephan Goeldi 09 Nov '00

09 Nov '00

I just asked the question lately, if it is safe to simply delete a Product in the lib/python/Product folder, if it is not deletable via the Control_Panel. Some told me that it is no problem. Now I am more unsure to delete the stuff. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Hallo Stephan you can't iterate over a string! That's working: <dtml-if "money=='1000'"> This is not much! <dtml-elif "money=='5000'"> This is ok! <dtml-else> This is very much! </dtml-if>

RE: Wampum Generator (tar in WinZip)
by Harris Peter 09 Nov '00

09 Nov '00

Hi Just want to mention one pitfall in WinZip - by default it CR/LFs all files extracted from a tar archive (unless you turn that option off). Note that the option is NOT on the "extract files" dialog. It hosed 150Mb of .deb files today - and I didn't realise until I had burned them onto a CD. I couldn't believe that was what it was doing at first. "Nah", I thought, "how would it know which files were binaries?" Turns out it doesn't know. It doesn't care either. In case you want to avoid this happening to you, note that PowerArchiver is more or less like WinZip but it can handle bzip2 as well, and it's FREE.

Re: [Zope] Re: [Image-SIG] Properly integrating PIL, reportlab, and zope

Ahha! To force zope (and reportlab) to use a different working directory, use: import os os.chdir('/usr/local/zope/differentdir/') still this is a pretty big workaround, but hey...

PHP/Zope Guru
by Vincent - D. Ertner 09 Nov '00

09 Nov '00

Hi folks, first of all I'd like to apologize for crossposting this message. I'm well aware of the fact that this isn't they way it should be done, but I considered this the probably most promising alternative. Enough about this. I want to setup a major database project. It is supposed to cover the administration (entering, changing, deleting) of recordsets, as well als a search engine (resultspace narrowed by several different criteria chosen from a form) ending up in resultlists and detailed views of the recordsets. I started with PHP (LAMP) and then came across Zope. Zope impresses me and I like the simple concept of PHP. There I am now considering the pros and cons ... and then a thought stroke my mind: Why not ask the pros professionals? So I finally decided to create this awful crossposting ... so: Are there any pros who already dealt with a similar matter? Any detailed information on how and *why* one or the other solution rulez would be highly appreciated and helpful, as I have to argue the decision for one or the other system with the initiators of the project. Thanx for reading a lot, hope hearing from u pals soon ... Cheers, Vince ''' ô¿ô -

I am sorry about me being a newbie but can somebody help me with an Email@dress as an ID....? I Have tried all kinds of things but none of them worked. I know that I must use url_quote, but how do I do that...? This kind of explains it: ****** The add form looks like this ****** <dtml-var standard_html_header> <H2>Add Job Board Entry</H2> <FORM action="entry_addProcessor"> <TABLE border="0"> <TR><TH>FirstName(s)</TH> <TD><input type=text name=firstnam size="35"></TD> </TR> <TR><TH>SurName</TH> <TD><input type=text name=surnam size="35"></TD> </TR> <TR><TH>Email Adress</TH> <TD><input type=text name=eadr size="35"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD></TD> <TD> <input type=submit value=" Add Subscriber "> <input type=reset value=" Clear Form "></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </FORM> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ****** And the Processor looks like this ****** <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('firstname', firstnam)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('surname', surnam)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('email', eadr)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('title', firstnam+' '+surnam)"> <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['nl_3dcomm']"> <dtml-call "newsl_entry_add(_.None, _, NoRedir=1)"> </dtml-with> <CENTER> <H2>Thank you for your entry</H2> </CENTER> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ****** You see, I need to make "somebody(a)somewhere.com" into "somebody_somewher.com" or somethiong like that.... But how.... Hope to get a quick answer....
