Welcome Aboard Matt Burleigh!!
by Rob Page 23 Mar '00

23 Mar '00

Hello everybody! Please join me in welcoming Matt Burleigh to the Digital Creations team!! Matt joins us as our first (and sorely needed!) system administrator. >From Matt's man page: """ I call beautiful and historic Fredericksburg, Virginia my /home. Fishing, hunting, and reading civil war history are my hobbies. Don't tell anyone but I've taken many tech support calls from a boat and even lost a cell phone in the lake once. In 1983 I got a 1200 baud modem for my 64k IBM PC and it was down hill from there. Sometimes I feel like I spent all of my life in front of a computer. I started the first BBS in the Fredericksburg area and a quite successful one. Eventually becoming Central Virginia mail hub for FidoNET and sucking Usenet newsgroup feeds off of a satellite dish then divvying it up for the local area SysOps. Those Usenet feeds were from this thing called the Internet, which took me by suprise in 1994. At the time I was running a small computer sales and service shop in the area. Once I realized that BBS's and RIP Script (a graphical language for BBS's that was going revolutionize the online world, ha!) wasn't going to make it, we switched our dial-up modems to direct connections to ISPs. In 1996 a friend of mine introduced me to Slackware Linux. This crude operating system really intrigued me and I found it to be an exciting new challenge. A couple months later I began selling used machines with IP masquerading and firewall setups. Soon after that, I convinced a customer of mine to switch from the ever failing Windows NT v3.51 to Linux. The system ran for over 6 months with not one problem or required reboot. I was hooked and swore never to install Windows NT again. """ Matt can be reached at: mailto: mattb(a)digicool.com Welcome Matt! --Rob -- Rob Page V: 540.371.6909 Digital Creations, Inc.

You aren't being stupid at all. Here is the low-down on the Collector: * New items in the collector are immediately marked "under review" * "Under review" issues can't be viewed until they get marked "in work" or some such, allowing submission of security-sensitive bugs without publicizing them to "black hats." * Most issues sit in the "under review" state far longer than the minimum time to triage out the security bugs; this is a lamentable corrollary to DC's short-handedness. Fixing this problem would require adding to the Collector a new state, "submitted", which then becomes the "show no details to black hats" state, and sending off nightly emails of "submitted" bugs to the sucker^H^H^H^H^Hteam member responsible for the Collector. Moving the bug to "under review" should then make it visible to outsiders in all its glory.

User with Properties?
by Alexander Limi 23 Mar '00

23 Mar '00

Is there an easy way to create users that have properties? EG. if I want to assign an integer value to a user. I tried subclassing the "User" class in a ZClass, but that wouldn't work. I also tried out the Portal Toolkit, but couldn't get it working. Surely someone has been doing something like this? Thanks in advance, Alexander. (Please CC me if you answer)

I want to be able to assign a property sheet of some sort to each user I create, so I can store his/her local preferences on my site. Does anybody have a clue on how to accomplish this? Thanks for the suggestion, though. Alexander.

Re: [Zope] Roles, Local Roles, and so on
by Rik Hoekstra 23 Mar '00

-----Original Message----- From: Oliver Andrich <oli(a)rz-online.net> To: zope(a)zope.org <zope(a)zope.org> Date: donderdag 23 maart 2000 9:39 Subject: [Zope] Roles, Local Roles, and so on Hi, I have a question concerning the Role and Local Role system. Well, am I right with the observation, that Local Roles are only locally assigned global roles? For example I have an user "oandrich" which is globally just a member of Role "user" but in /test/users/andrich for example I can assign him a "Manager" role? Isn't it possible to get really local roles? What I like to have are roles that needn't be defined in a global context and which are only available below a certain directory and are local to this part of the directory tree. Some background why I need this. I am developing a problem tracking system, that is used in my company, but we also of companies that are subproviders of us. I like to do the following. In /rz-online I install the tracking system for us. In /ewr-online I install the tracking system for one subprovider. Well, when I have to define global roles I see the roles the ewr-online admin defines in my possible list of Roles. And he sees mine. Ok, for me this is no problem, but the ewr-online people are a little bit nuts and so this will certainly confuse them. Ok, I can do something like adding global roles named like this JTS_<id of the folder>_<desired name> This is easy and fine to do in Zope, but it is ugly. So, is it possible to get really local roles? Bye, Oliver [RH]Oliver, the current role system lets you assign roles from a certain object (you can add them under the security tab). You could also devise a method or a product that (manually) registers the roles a user is entitled to (or already has, depending on the situation), but that could get you turning in circles easily.

Bug Collector Query
by Chris Withers 23 Mar '00

23 Mar '00

Hi, I was thinking about putting my 'Changing Roles' problem into the collector as either a bug or a feature request so I went and had a look. It's REALLY hard to try and find out whether anyone else has done this before. Not only is there not any real categorization of bugs/featrues within Zope (everything seems to be 'General') but neither the search or advanced search is documented. Most irritating though was that it doesn't look like you can read problems unless they're been solved, so although there were a couple of bug titles which looked like they could be what I was talking about, they were all ***This item is under review*** so I couldn't check. By all means flame me if I'm being stupid, but otherwise coudl someone help me out? cheers, Chris

You can create a picture called "myPic.jpg" and insert it with <dtml-var myPic.jpg>. However because of their special meaning in Python they make it more difficult to access objects in Python expressions from DTML. Example, to access the picture title, you'd need to use : <dtml-var "_['myPic.jpg'].title"> or (simpler but longer) <dtml-with myPic.jpg> <dtml-var title> </dtml-with> Cheers. Alexandre
