We now have something called maintainers on the ZDP site (Maik overall maintenance, ZBook Tom Deprez I suppose, Kamon Ayeva - hm, something else, and me ZSnippets). Perhaps ownership is taking it to far, but a bit of coordination left and right and (taking initiatives for) setting priorities would do much good. So far, no one is inclined to take responsability for more than a part, though. 2) The ZDP Tools of Maik Roeder and the Subject/Topic hierarchy stuff by David Kankiewitz (if I spell his name right) are great stuff with a lot of potential, even if they may not appear consistently on the ZDP site right now (to say the least). There is some documentation available about them somewhere, but Maik may be able to answer questions better. my 2 cents Rik

problems with NTUserFolder.
by Jay, Dylan 25 May '00

25 May '00

I can't seem to get your product to work the way I want. I'll tell you what I'm after and perhaps you can tell me where I'm going wrong or if indeed your product can do it at all. I have a group of users who are all part of the same domain as I am on. Its the department domain. I want to have these people recognized by my website seemlessly. I know this can be done with NT challenge response if you are using ie as your client. I want to do this in zope such that users who enter the site are automatically authenticated and appriate permissions for them set. These would be zope permission set inside zope, nothing to do with NT permissions. How do I do this?

html-documents rendered incomplete
by Cornelis J. de Brabander 25 May '00

25 May '00

Since I upgraded from Zope 2.0.1 to 2.1.6 I have a problem with html-documents that are added as files. What happens is that the text in the last HTML-element is cut of somewhere in the middle. Checking the source of the document shows that after the point where the text is cut off all text and codes have disappeared. Does anybody have similar experiences and a clue as to what might cause this strange behavior? tia, cb

ZWiki - how to dynamically add a page?
by Lena 25 May '00

25 May '00

Dear Chris, Thanx a lot for your suggestion. Zwiki is indeed something very helpful to me. I've got a couple fo questions, though: 1. How can I dynamically add a Zwiki page? It says there: "To create a link to another wiki page, just write its name. (If you don't use a WikiName, you must enclose the name in square brackets). If the page does not yet exist, a ? will be displayed - click it to create the new page. This is how new wiki pages are added." Where do I have to write the name?? There's a form field in the upper right corner of a Zwiki Page header, but inserting a new name there doesn't work. 2. How can I add dynamically ZWiki Pages to different folders in /Control_Panel / Products / ZWiki / zwiki_examples / folder??? Hoping to hear from you ASAP.. Lena

Mailing Lists
by mindlace 25 May '00

25 May '00

Zopistas, There's a new mailing list: Zope-Web. This list will discuss what's happening with the zope family of websites (zope.org, zope.net, and zope.com) Currently only zope.org has content, but this may change in the future. If you want to see the zope websites do what they should, sign up! Also, I am extending an open offer to anyone who has a zope-related mailing list to have it hosted at zope.org. I would specifically like to see the zope-language mailing lists come to zope- zope-de, zope-pt, and it looks like we may add zope-it. You're under no obligation to do so, but the offer is there. Thanks, ethan mindlace fremen Zopista Community Liason

Re: [Zope] Broken ZWiki
by Simon Michael 25 May '00

25 May '00

looks like this has been answered, good. I'll check out ZWikiWeb soon. Maybe there's something we can do to integrate or market the two better for newcomers ? Or better, someone could cook up a nice, simple, zope product dependency checker that works like debian's apt..

My part was a small one.. but you're most welcome! :) <basks in glory> > PS: Now, if I could just rename a Wiki page through the Wiki interface > and have all links to that page updated... ;-) I need this too.. it's near the top of my zwiki todo list. -Simon

Hi, Can I store list or dict in properties? I have some small tabulate value which need to be changed frequently, I have take a look at tinytable, but it is very hard to change the value even with the help of cguardia's code. I would like to use a dict or list directly storing as an zope object or as an property. Is it possible? Rgs, Kent Sin --------------------------------- kentsin.weblogs.com kentsin.imeme.net
