Hi Zopers, i'm trying to install zope on FreeBSD 2.2.8. i got this error. Have you ever seen it before? i know sha has to do with the way that the password is encrypted but i didn't realize that i might need something other than python. i'm using the latest source. Any thoughts? i appreciate the help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ setting dir permissions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ creating default database chmod 0600 /u/.2/p/portrait/Zope-2.1.4-src/var/Data.fs Traceback (innermost last): File "w_pcgi.py", line 111, in ? if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv[0]) File "w_pcgi.py", line 109, in main import wo_pcgi; wo_pcgi.main(me) File "/u/.2/p/portrait/Zope-2.1.4-src/wo_pcgi.py", line 107, in main import zpasswd; zpasswd.write_access(home, user, group) File "/u/.2/p/portrait/Zope-2.1.4-src/zpasswd.py", line 90, in ? import sys, string, sha, binascii, whrandom, getopt, getpass, os ImportError: No module named sha -- ~darcy w. christ Elegant Communications Inc. 416.362.9772 x222 | 416.362.8324 fax

Re: [Zope] Apache? Proxy? PCGI? ZServer?
by Jon Prettyman 18 Feb '00

18 Feb '00

I've had problems with a Proxy/SiteAccess/GenericUserFolder situation. Specifically, trying to ``/manage'' this site has various problems keeping track of authentication information. Another oddity is occasionally ``manage_workspace '' calls to folders within the SiteRoot end up displaying the folder instead of the manage interface. -Jon "Evan Simpson" <evan(a)4-am.com> writes: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: J.

User Authentication Question
by James W. Howe 18 Feb '00

18 Feb '00

I have a folder which contains several objects, including subfolders. Some of the subfolders I have locked down so that only a manager can do anything with them. However, if I log in as a non-manager to the management interface of the parent folder I these locked down folders appear in the contents list. It seems to me that if any object isn't visible to the currently authenticated user, the object shouldn't be displayed in a contents list. Is this a bug, a feature, or a misunderstanding on my part about how authentication and object visibility should work? Thanks. James W.

ZDiscussions ... how to install ?
by Darcy Clark 18 Feb '00

18 Feb '00

I note that someone has already asked this question (http://www.egroups.com/list/zope/md1584078544.html) but I have to ask it again as I have run into exactly the same barrier. I downloaded ZDiscussions 0.2.0 and installed everything as per instructions - as per instructions I also read the included readme's with the package. Unfortunately, I still don't grasp exactly how to use ZDiscussions....I got Confera to work....I can add both from my Add menu, but only Confera supplies something that is renderable. Adding a "ZDiscussion" seems to add a folder but no obvious hints on exactly what happens next are apparent. I have a sneaking suspicion that are we supposed to generate our own methods to render the ZDiscussion content....? cheers, Darcy -- --------------------------------------------------- Ph: (734) 764 3377 Email: darcyc(a)engin.umich.edu URL: http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~darcyc/ --------------------------------------------------- 'If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate' .....

methods of a few zope objects
by Andrew 18 Feb '00

18 Feb '00

Greetings: I'm looking for documentation on the methods and variables of a few internal zope objects, so I can use them in external python code. Namely the file object, the image object, and the DTML method object. I have no problem poking through source code, if I know which file to look in. Haven't found anything concise in the documentations. Thanks for any help. -Andy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Python object lifecycle? (was Re: [Zope] Where to put business logic? logic?
by Jerry Spicklemire 18 Feb '00

18 Feb '00

Not to start a "what IS client server?" discussion (I thought we got past that in the last millenium), but it looks to me like Zope IS the middle layer. In terms of layers, the browser "front end" handles presentation (client), the "back-end" (data server, host) is an RDB, or CD tower (of image files), or whatever, then the integration layer "middle" is Zope. It really doesn't change whether you call it "middleware", "application server", "content manager", etc. In other words, Zope is where you get to build in the business logic, as objects, and find relief from the narrow bounds of SQL. Of course, the Zope layer can be fairly complex and is subject to being defined as having multiple layers within itself, but that's another thread.
