ZLogger under Windows NT?
by James W. Howe 14 Feb '00

14 Feb '00

I'm trying to track down why things aren't working in my Zope/Python code. The code I'm working with uses the ZLogger capability and has LOG commands sprinkled throughout. However, I can't seem to figure out where this information actually gets sent. I've read the LOGGING.TXT file (and the HowTo) and I still don't quite understand what I need to do for a Windows environment. For example, if I just want to log information to a file what do I need to do? I tried adding STUPID_FILE_LOGGER="var\Zope.log" and ZSYSLOG_SERVER="...:514" to my startup but I still get no log information and the Zope.log file does not exist on my system. Can someone give me some more detailed information on how to get ZLogger to work under Windows NT? Thanks. James W.

Hi all, this is presumably a trivial question but having worked with things like broadvision, dynamo, netdynamic etc. I wonder where and how transient session information and user profile definitions are stored, created, changed etc...

Thanks. Yes. You can make a new Role, let's call it DomainUser. You give this Role all privileges that the Anonymous Role has, and you revoke all rights from the Anonymous Role. Now you create a new user, and call this AnonymousDomainUser. This user you give _no_ password, just leave the password fields blank. You do specify the domains however; it is a space separated list of domain specs, where each domain spec can be either a domain name, or an IP address, where wildcards can be used anywhere between the dots. For example: *.zope.org *.digicool.com 192.8.*.* is a valid domain spec. And you also give the user the DomainUser Role. Now, as soon as a visitor comes to your site from a domain that matches the domain spec, Zope will, without asking for a password, match him against the AnonymousDomainUser User, give him the DomainUser Role, and grant that visitor access. Anyone from any other domain will be prompted for a username and password. -- Martijn Pieters, Software Engineer | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org | mailto:mj@digicool.com ICQ: 4532236 | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 -------------------------------------------

Hi, I need to know which link is calling one page. What I mean is, for example: I had a page with many links: Group1 sub1 link to messages page (msg_subgroup) sub2 link to messages page (msg_subgroup) sub3 link to messages page (msg_subgroup) Group2 sub1 link to messages page (msg_subgroup) sub2 link to messages page (msg_subgroup) sub3 link to messages page (msg_subgroup) All the subs are links to msg_subgroup. In msg_subgroup, will appear the messages in which sub from which group Example: Group1 - Sub 1 Messages: 1 - dtml-tree 2 - dtml-if Group1 - Sub 2 Messages: 1 - dtml-in 2 - dtml-let And so on. Now, how can I in the msg_subgroup, know which link call this DTML Method? I know that is with PARENTS[something], but I don't understand how this work. Can anyone help me with this?

Simple way to test this is to edit userRoles so that >jorge is a member of the Manager role. I must be missing a key thing. I've created a normal folder for the purposes of testing GUF. Inside this folder I have a GUF called acl_users. I open the acl_users folder. I click on the User List tab and I get a message telling me that "there are no users defined". If I edit the userList DTMLMethod, I see that this method has two names, fred and jorge. If I edit userRoles, I see that if the userid is "jorge" the role "specialrole" is answered, otherwise defaultrole is answered. I added "specialrole" as one of my roles and gave this role the ability to view contents. Still nothing. I have a feeling there is some key concept or item that I'm not configuring properly but I have yet to figure out what it is. Can anyone provide any clues as to what I'm missing? Thanks. James W.

Tree tag
by Pedro Silva 14 Feb '00

14 Feb '00

Hi, I'm trying to use a dtml tree tag with an External Method, but it isn't working. The code that I'm using is: <dtml-in obj_fs> -> this is the external Method <dtml-tree branches_expr="objectValues(['Folder','External Method'])" assume_children=1> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-tree> </dtml-in> And the code in obj_fs is: def obj_fs(self): import os, os.path lst=os.listdir("/var/spool/news/articles") return lst What I'm trying with this, is that the zope programme go get me the folders in the directory "/var/spool/news/articles", show those folders and with the tree, it will appear a plus sign that when we click on this plus sign, it will display the subfolders in the folder that we have clicked. The result must be like the Windows Explorer, with folder and subfolders. Is the tree tag compatible with the External Method? If yes, this is not working. Can anyone help me to figure where is the error and tell me another way to can make this result? Please send your answers to: psilva(a)ruido-visual.pt Thanks, Pedro
