RE: [Zope] Which login-system to use ? (newbie addon)
by Coleman, Bryan 12 May '00

12 May '00

I want to tie the login to authentication from a database. That is I want to from the application add someone and then there information will become the login. I have absolutly no idea how to go about this. - Bryan > -----Original Message----- > From: tsarna(a)endicor.com [SMTP:tsarna@endicor.com] > Sent: Friday, May 12, 2000 9:23 AM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: Re: [Zope] Which login-system to use ? > > In article <130790366046.20000512144824(a)funcom.com>, > Geir Bækholt <geirh(a)funcom.com> wrote: > > GUF and LoginManager look like the way to go, but which one > > would be easiest to implement with those requirements ? > > The only User Source currently availible for LoginManager is > GenericUserSource, which tries to emulate GUF.

does this exist: rating/survey system?
by srl 12 May '00

12 May '00

I'm looking for something to see if it exists, in any language. Perhaps someone here can help me. I want a generic rating/survey/comment system for a series of websites I'm building. They all need to have similar features for rating different kinds of things (books, movies, restaurants, doctors...) -visitors should be able to see ratings and user comments about an item (for example: how people rated this restaurant for food, service, price, etc, and comments by other users) -visitors should be able to add new items to rate, possibly with administrator oversight before posting I haven't played with the PTK yet. will it do things like this? for that matter, are there any Zope products that will do this, or part of this? Or anything not written for Zope? TIA, srl ----- Shane Renee Landrum slandrum<@>cs.smith.edu

The 'superuser' is about to become almost useless for standard site management (see the recent "Trojan" announcement for details). This is a Good Thing(TM), as it will induce people to create "management" users, which are much simpler to secure.

Which login-system to use ?
by Geir B�kholt 12 May '00

12 May '00

Greetings Zopistas ! I have to implement a login-system for our site, pulling usernames and passwords from a database (Solid at the moment, but we'll probably move to Interbase soon). new users should be able to register through the web, without writing to data.fs. Most of the site should be accessible for anonymous users , while some sections should be restricted. Cookie based authentication is a neccessity.. I've looked around among the different userfolders on Zope.org, but it is not clear to me which one would suit us best.. GUF and LoginManager look like the way to go, but which one would be easiest to implement with those requirements ? What is the State of The LoginManager ? - is it correct that it is meant as a part of the PortalToolkit ? -Will it function separate from the PTK ?? -- Geir Bækholt web-developer/designer geirh(a)funcom.com http://www.funcom.com

DTML images and IE Method
by Peter Bengtsson 12 May '00

12 May '00

I use IE Methods a lot (to impress laymen of Zope's ease of use), but I have problems with adding images. If I insert an image with the WYSIWYG-editor it is saved with a absolute url (C:\Somewhere\not\on\server\). I prefer using the Image object, with its benefits, but if I manually type in <dtml-var image_name_jpg> (I can _view_ it), and go to Editor mode; the image disapears and when I look at the resulting code it has been changed to <DTML-VAR image_name_jpg> Is there any way of preventing this? Solutions?

User as Base Class?
by Chris Withers 12 May '00

12 May '00

Hi, I'm creating a ZClass to store information about a user account (contact details, email address, address, phone number, etc) and I was wondering if there was any way that I could have 'user' as a base class so I could actually use my Account objects as user objects (ie: as users in acl_users)? I tried putting 'User' as one of their base classes but that still doesn't let me add them into the acl_users folder. Any ideas? Chris

jcntuserfolder question
by Mabe, Brad 12 May '00

12 May '00

Hello all, I am attempting to use jephte's jcNTUserFolder product and am having a few problems (I'm a Zope newbie). Is it possible to assign local roles to users from other NT Domains? I have created an NTUserFolder at the top level of my site, and have created users under the "Users from other NT Domains" tab. When I attempt to assign local roles to users on any of the subfolders within my site, I can only see users for the local domain (box that is running the Zope server) in the select list. Any help will be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------ Brad Mabe SAIC - Hampton bradley.d.mabe(a)cpmx.saic.com
