There's a permission called something like 'access tinytable contents' which you need to give to the anonymous user in the squishdot folder. Well, that's how I cracked it, anyway... cheers, Chris "Pearson, Brian Edward (GEA, 056278)" wrote: > > All - I just started working with Zope a couple of months ago.

Best way to run Zope for hosting apps by multiple developers?
by Nicholas Dobbing 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Hi, The University of Guelph is looking at making Zope hosting available to our departments and organisations. Because we want to be able to use MS Access databases, we propose to run Zope on NT (so that we can use Z ODBC). In essence, we're looking at using Zope within an ISP hosting model, where we will provide the infrastructure and our clients will do their own development. I'm trying understand how to design a Zope system to achieve two things: 1, make it less likely that a poorly written app will compromise the service for other developers, and 2, establish a test environment where applications can be debugged, and then moved to a production server. I have two questions: 1. I've read the FAQ for ISP's, and I've seen references in the documentation to ways of configuring a system so that Zope so that each client gets their own instance of Zope. This would presumably help to insulate one Zope app from another. However, I can't find any details about how that's done... can anyone point me to more info? 2. Given developers with administrative control of their own folders on two Zope servers (test and production), how can I make it possible for them to take a test application (consisting of a set of Zope objects, let's say within one Zope folder object), and move it to a production Zope server. I can do this by exporting from one Zope server and importing into another, but this involves giving the developers access to the file system (they must place their exported object in the "import" directory on the target Zope server), and all developers will be dropping their objects in the same place. It's not elegant, and I can foresee various management problems and security risks arising from it. Are there other ways to migrate a Zope application from one Zope server to another? Thanks in advance for any pointers, Nick Dobbing. ndobbing(a)uoguelph.ca | (519) 824-4120 x6044 Computing & Communications Services www.uoguelph.ca/ccs/ University of Guelph

Help: Sending Batch Email
by bens＠workmail.com 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Has anyone done any mass emailing from Zope? I have an external method that tries to loop over a bunch of Member Objects and send an email to each. Unfortunately it is not working. What it does is sometimes send an email to the first member most of the time it sends no email at all. Here is my External Method. Any help would be greatly appreciated. def doSpam(self): """ sends mail to all Members """ if self.MailHost: for id, object in self.members.objectItems('member'): mail=self.SPAMLetter(self, None, username=object.username, password=object.password, email_address=object.email_address) mhost=self.MailHost mhost.send(mail) return "Mail Sent"

ZODB & large files
by ethan mindlace fremen 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Zopistas, I'm setting up zope on a linux box with support for large files. (>2gb). I need to make sure that the ZODB will continue to work properly past this point. Is the filesystem stuff the ZODB does handled by python or ZODB? If the answer is ZODB, where can I look for fs calls to make sure they're 64 bit? Thanks, Ethan Fremen http://imeme.net

ZClass bug ?!
by Andreas 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

I created a ZClass based upon DTMLDocument.I wanted to have a DTMLDocument class with some additional integer properties. So I decided NOT to derive my class from ObjectManager. Now when I create an instance of my new class within a Folder the instance has no id ! I think this is not a feature ;-) -- _________________________________________________________ Andreas Heckel andreas(a)aHIT.de

zGold?
by Lucas Vogel 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Why isn't zGold published at the zope.org site like the rest of the products? Is it still usable? Can someone send me a copy, since the site that hosts zGold won't come up? Thanks -- Lucas Vogel lucas7(a)home.com ICQ: 44697169

Zope and remote caches.
by jiva＠devware.com 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

So, if I am grokking the whole zope thang properly here, then theoretically, when I imbed objects within my zope documents, I shouldn't hardcode in specific urls to them. Instead, I should treat them almost as if they are always in the current directory, even if they are a couple of folders up. This way, if I want to override some behavior in the future, I just copy the object down into the current folder and edit it. I notice however, that if I do this, it plays hell with browser caching because the browser winds up pulling things from different places all the time even if it's actually winding up pulling the same document down. How do other people deal with this? -- Fundamentally, there may be no basis for anything.

This 'patch' did in fact work although the problem was in fact more subtle than originally described - the 'unhandled' type error only arose if I used joins in the select part of the statement. -- Dr. John A.R.
