Different Login Screens for Management and User?
by James W. Howe 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

In creating my web site, I'm planning on limiting access to certain portions of the site to registered users. When a user attempts to "view" these areas, if they haven't logged in, I want to display a login page and get their name and password. I also want to provide a way for the web site management team to login and perform management activities. I would like to present a different login screen (maybe just a basic auth dialog) to allow access to management functions. I've been playing around a little with GUF, but I haven't found a way to present two different login screens based on the type of page being accessed. Is this type of functionality possible with Zope? Would the LoginManager allow for this sort of thing? Thanks. James W.

Z2.LOG FILE SHOW WRONG DATES AND TIMES
by CURTIS David 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

Friends of Zope, My Z2.log file entries which are in the /var/Z2.log are inconsistent with the actual system time. I get the following log 123.123.123.23 *[08/March/2000:02:27:45--0700] The actual system time is 18:31 pacific time (-8 UTC) and is set for daylight saving time. What is wrong? I have a NT 4.0 windoze workstation machine that is running Zope latest version 2.1.4. and of course python 1.5.2.

RE: A zope fear...

have you figured out a way to move through the ZODB for a certain type of object? and then manipulate it in the way you need? I'm having this same concern from a project right now -- they are scared to put content in ZOPE because if we move to another content manager- we may not be able to get the data out (please point me to info). your secondary question is just as valid: versioning lingo in zope is not versioning as in source versioning but a 'temporary lock' on files. things look differently in/outside of versions. thats versioning now. how about retaining 'versions' of a website (I think vignette does this) - so I can call (if I had diskspace and *WANTED* to) my website and say, "what did the frontpage look like last month?, last week?, two days ago?" <- anyone worked with this, because this is what is typically referred to as 'versioning' (I believe). thanks, george runyan grunyan(a)emerging.com

structured text
by srl 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

Hi all. I've read the Structured Text HOWTO but I'm still having trouble. I have a DTML Dccument, stx_about that looks something like: ---- This is my document. - bullet1 - Bullet2 ----- I'm including that in another DTML Document, about, that looks like: ----- <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var stx_about fmt=structured-text> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ----- but the text isn't coming out formatted. What am I missing? I've tried many different variants of formatting, with and without blank spaces inserted between different elements. Please CC replies to me privately, as I'm not currently subscribed to the list. Thanks. srl

Re: [Zope] Syntax for getting property sheet

Ahh.... I think I managed to come up with something like this but I left off the mapping attribute on the dtml-in and was getting some type of error I couldn't interpret. I'll give this a shot later tonight. -Jon Tres Seaver <tseaver(a)palladion.com> writes: > Jon Prettyman <jprettyman(a)acm.org> wrote: > > > > If I have a ZClass with a property sheet called 'Info', how can I get > > access to the sheet when I DON'T have an instance of that ZClass to > > work with. > > > > Specifically, I want an ADD form for my ZClass that has an ID field > > and a dynamically generated section containing all the properties from > > 'Info' all on ONE from.

Property Sheet Question
by James W. Howe 07 Mar '00

07 Mar '00

I'm defining a property sheet for a new ZClass object. I want to define a property which is collection of items (in my current case it's strings, but conceptually it could be something else). When a new instance is created (or edited), I want the user to be able to specify 0 or more items. Is there a property type which supports this? What, for example, are "lists" and "tokens" and how do you make use of them? In the particular case that I'm working on, I want a user to be able to enter one or more e-mail addresses and one or more urls. At some point I will want to iterate over the e-mail addresses, or iterate over the urls when I construct a view for this object. Any tips or insights on this subject would be appreciated. Thanks.

formatting a date string
by Graham Chiu 07 Mar '00

07 Mar '00

I'm trying to convert a string from 2000/12/31 ( which is the format a date string is returned by a sql query ) to 31-DEC-2000 which is the format I need to enter date values into the database. I figured I need to index into 'JANFEBMARAPR.... ' Now m_date is '2000/12/31', so I need to convert the 12 to an integer. but <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('month',_.string.atoi(m_date[5:7],10))"> gives me a null value for month. ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.com/dynamo - The Homebuilt Dynamo http://www.compkarori.com/dbase - The dBase bulletin
