Editing SQL methods from Emacs (+ FTP server)?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

All the texts explaining the wonders of Zope tell that you can edit your DTML files from (X)Emacs, and not from the lame editor you get from your browser with the default HTML form. It works great for DTML but ange-ftp (GNU emacs 20.7) refuses to open the SQL methods ("File exists but cannot be read"). Is there a solution, besides writing it offline and uploading it into Zope?

I'd be willing to bet that you're not properly giving the "Manager" role to the content management user you create. You need to select "Manager" from the list of roles shown on the user creation form when you create the user. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Olaf Zanger" <olaf.zanger(a)soli-con.com> To: "Chris McDonough" <chrism(a)digicool.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 7:04 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] authentication > hi chris, > > > Have you read the "security" section of the "Zope Book" draft?

ZTopics not working right --Error Value: Vocabulary
by Umesh Soni 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

Hi I am trying to use ZTopics to create a visual hierarchy. I've got ZTopics installed ok but I am having problems with using them. If I create a top level ZTopic all is well and the ztopic will filter my catalog fine. However, if I try to create a hierarchy -even if only one level deep, I get the following error. Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: Vocabulary Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 172, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 528, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/Products/ZTopic/Topic.py, line 180, in contents (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/Products/ZTopic/Topic.py, line 228, in _contentsSet (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/SearchIndex/UnTextIndex.py, line 401, in _apply_index File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/SearchIndex/UnTextIndex.py, line 476, in query File /usr/local/Zope-2.2.4b1-src/lib/python/SearchIndex/UnTextIndex.py, line 196, in getLexicon AttributeError: (see above) I haven't a clue if the problem is with ZTopics or the lexicon stuff within zope. Anyone know what's going on here? umesh

authentication
by Olaf Zanger 29 Nov '00

hi everybody, i can run different versions of zope and login as superuser, setup an other user and change superuser account name and password. unfortunately i don't get authenticated when i want to login as user. means i can do no work with content at all in zope. is it normal that when i go to change the user password it shows a different amount of *s there? how does the authentication work? do any files have to be at special places for authentication? do any files need any special permission for this? my system i have it run under wwwrun:nogroup and the directory /opt/zope is root:root /opt/zope/var is wwwrun:nogroup and 755 except of files Z2.log, pcgi.soc, zProcessManager.pid that are root:root i installed zope 2.2.2, 2.2.4, compiled a 2.2.4, used an rpm, always the same problem latest i used an installation description for suse 6.4 ... -- no help did a lot as you see my system is a suse linux 7.0 with the update to kde2.0 -- soli-con Engineering Zanger Dipl.-Ing.

Membership unable to remember login name
by Dirksen 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

In a test run of membership 0.7.8 product, I login as a member with the option 'remember my name' checked. But next time I visit the login page, the name field is blank. Is that function supposed to be left over, or just something goes wrong with my installation? Dirksen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hello I am looking for realworld workflow tips on using Dreamweaver with Zope. There was a speculativ thread about this some time ago, when UltraDev was being pumped.. There are now all manner of Dreamweaver extensions, both trivial and sophisticated. http://www.macromedia.com/exchange/dreamweaver/ [check out the various categories listed in the 'browse extensions' dropdown menu near top of page] I would love to hear from anyone has been using Dreamweaver with Zope [recently].. How you organize your tasks between Dreamwever features and Zope features, etc? :Have you and problems with site upload from Dreamweaver into ZServer? :Use of Tables to implement zopesite design changes. :Not losing DTML tags.. :handling DTML :managing files locally and their relationship to ZODB thanks - Jason ___________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS['Interactive Art and Technology']

Go for it. You must first fix the problems with the products. *Later*, you may delete everything, that depends on the products. Only then, you may delete the products (from both "Product_Management" and the file system! > i tried chown -R zope * and even tried running it as root. nope. This is unrelated to your current problems. You have objects that refer to products that are no longer there, at least not free of problems. You need to install the products and/or fix the problems with the import. Dieter
