redirect on Authorization
by Daniel Rusch 02 Nov '00

02 Nov '00

Is there a way of having all users redirected upon Authorization? Let me explian. We have a very large site and many of Users bookmark pages. This can cause several problems especially if the site layout changes, security changes at different levels and a user bookmarks a result pages that depends on previous page(s) submissions. In other words can zope be hacked to return a preselected URL instead of the page the user has bookmarked?????

I'm thinking that with Apache and mod_rewrite it would be doable (using file extensions to map the request), but I'm not sure how that might work under IIS or within Zope... There are some systems in place that are either, large/legacy/developed by others/etc that we can't simply reimplement in Zope... Plus, I'd consider it a big plus for Zope if I could run apps written in other languages/environments without too much of a hassle. Pete

GoLive can ftp open dtml files. except because they are called index_html and not index.html, GoLive thinks they are text files and not html template files. This is such a pain. Using a WYSIWYG tool (on a mac) to edit dtml would be cool. This for me, effectively makes it too much of pain to use goLive. So close and yet... I think there's a trick where dtml files can be saved as index.html, and then you create a method that redirects index_html or /whatever/wherever/ to index.html in the same folder, but I'm not sure how to do that. Someone has shown how to do it on this list. Try searching here... http://www.egroups.com/messages/zope Using WebDAV (with goliath) may be an option. I've found BBEdit to be OK, although creating new dtml files is errors. Hope this helps tom

It comes with a fully fledged demo that demonstrates this cookie stuff. For me it was cut, copy and paste from there on :-) Make sure you check out www.vitaminic.com to see how it feels like :-) They did their site using Zope and Translator with cookies. > - It seems that you have different folders per language containing > all things for that language. That is not what we want. I want to have > one folder structure where the different language versions of a text > a in the same document or folder. Sorry, no way :-( But let me see if I can argue with you :-) Yes, you can put it all in one directory and into on document. But, just imagine this: You have the "templates" in you main directory and only (!) a bunch of DTML-Methods located in the subfolders en,de,nl,fr,es and so on. These DTML-Methods only return a simple String or a small part of your document translated properly. This enables you to choose different images for different languages for example. Furthermore you can "give" someone a copy of your default language folder and as him/her to translate it. This can be done in parallel without people having the need to change the original templates. Now if you do not like all the DMLT-Methods, you can simple create a e.g. en folder and use properties attached to that folder to hold your translations. If you do not like to have folders flying around, you can create them *inside* the translator. But please notice, you cannot have them outside as well as inside, the inside ones will always be the ones used, Translator will not seek any other folders once he found one. The translator itself has another way of storing translated text. It is accesible on the Translate tab inside the translator. IMHO the translator has a very clumsy interface there so I never used it. But it might be cool as well, since you could be able to export this data as XML and reimport it once it is translated. Anyway, whatever you do make shure you check it out and give yourself a day to waste on the translator to find out all possiple ways to play around. I had a lot of fun with it up to now and it works absolutely reliably. Even the highest educated people in our company think this product is well designed to support multi lingual features so easily (apart from a fwe enhancements they would like to see :-))) ) - Holger > > Petr > > Holger Lehmann wrote: > > Guys, please ! -------snipp------- -- ----------------------------------- catWorkX GmbH Hamburg Dipl.-Ing.

XML-RPC vs External method?
by Irene Barg 02 Nov '00

02 Nov '00

Hello all, I have setup a query form to query a small MySQL database using Zope. It consists of: 1. ZMySQL Database Connection (ZMySQLDA) 2. ZSQL method 3. A search interface. Now, what I want is the user to have the option of viewing the results in HTML or raw XML. I think there can be two approaches to this: 1. External method, or 2. XML-RPC. 1. External method: Replaces the ZMySQL database connection with an external Python function called 'mysqldb_XML', pieces of which follow: def mysqldb_XML(self,query): """ Use a MySQL SAX driver to map relational data to XML. Hacked from PyXML saxdemo.py. The MySQL driver is a modified version of Sean McGrath's drv_mysql.py ("XML Processing with Python"). """ from xml.sax import saxexts, saxlib, saxutils, writer import sys,urllib #Our MySQLdb XML driver; driver="xml.sax.drivers.drv_mysqldb" ..... out = sys.stdout; p=saxexts.make_parser(driver) dh=writer.PrettyPrinter(out,dtdinfo=info) try: p.setDocumentHandler(dh) return p.parse(query) except IOError,e: return in_sysID+": "+str(e) except saxlib.SAXException,e: return str(e) Inside Zope, I get the ZSQL 'query' and do something like: <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type','text/xml')"> <dtml-in "mysqldb_XML(query)"> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> 2. XML-RPC: It seems to me XML-RPC could do this too, but I don't know how one would print out the raw XML response. Could I have a Zope client request the ZSQL method above, but instead of sending it to my output DTML method, I just print the raw-XML stream? Examples would be helpful:-) It seems to me if XML-RPC already produces an XML formatted stream, it would be more efficient to just use it (unless there is yet another way in Zope I'm not aware of). Is it possible? Is there any reason to want to use the external method instead?

Thanks in advance You can use the <dtml-with> tag on the folder IMAGES (because it's an object) like that : <dtml-width IMAGES> ... <dtml-var image1> ... <dtml-var image2> ... </dtml-width> but it's a bit boring...

How would I do this? Look at the dtml source for the management screens and you'll pick up how to do all this. Also refer to Zope Quick Reference (http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zqr/ZopeQR) for more methods than you can shake a stick at, e.g.: manage_addDTMLDocument(id, [title, file, REQUEST, submit]) manage_changePermissions(REQUEST) seb.

When you create your image object set the path correctly then your <dtml-var image1> should work :) Dan CURTIS David wrote: > > Hi, > I check the archives but could not find an answer.
