There's a good slide in Michel's presentation at the open source conference. Imagine: -------------------- | ----- --------- | | | B | | C | | | ----- | ----- | | | | | D | | | | A | ----- | | | | | | | --------- | -------------------- So that "A" is a folder, "B" is an object in "A", "C" is a subfolder in "A", and "D" is an object in "C". Then "B" is acquirable by "D", or any object in "C", but "B" is not contained in either "C" or "D". Later, Jerry S.

No. He got it wrong. ZEO is open-sourced, free, and available for download and has been since ~ a month ago. Write to the InfoWorld guy and tell him. :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: Brad Clements [mailto:bkc@murkworks.com] > Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2000 1:46 PM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Infoworld Review of Zope > > > Sorry if this has been posted already, I'm in digest mode on > this list. > > http://www.infoworld.com/articles/mt/xml/00/07/17/000717mtzope.xml > > Is ZEO really $25K? > > > > Brad Clements, bkc(a)murkworks.com (315)268-1000 > http://www.murkworks.com (315)268-9812 Fax > netmeeting: ils://ils.murkworks.com AOL-IM: BKClements > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** > (Related lists - > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >

Scarry BTreeFolder eats my 'contents' tab
by Dirksen Lau 20 Jul '00

20 Jul '00

Just as soon as I restarted Zope after placing the BTreeFolder in the Products dir, wham! all my files were disappeared!! It took me quite a while to collect the pieces of my minds and pulled them together again when I discovered through FTP that my files were still inside Zope. Back in the HTTP manage console I also found that the 'Contents' tab was gone, and it was the same with most of the folders in my Zope site. After removing the BTreeFolder from the Products dir, the 'contents' tab was back again. Everything seemed normal except the /Control_Panel/Products/ still had an entry of BTreeFolder. Really weild!! I'm running Zope 2.2.0b3 on NT4. Any idea to tame this beast is appreciated. RGDS Dirksen

(this of course runs completely >counterintuitive from my unix experience, where superuser can do >anything anywhere). i was folloing the steps outlined in the "A first >zope site" How-to, and still did not get this to work. Well, the rights associated with Superuser changed in 2.2. You now need to have a dedicated login to create objects. Superuser should only be used as a "last help" login. I don't even remember the password I have as a Superuser on my server and will have to change it when I will require the superuser login ;-) Here is how to proceed. - In the management interface, got to /acl_users - Click on "add..." - Enter the username, password, ... and give him at least the role "Manager" - Restart your browser - Log into your management screen as this newly created user - Goto the / folder, select the "Ownership" tab - Click on "Take ownership" (this step is not required) You can now add, modify and delete objects. Best regards, Gérard Jr. PS: There seems to be a problem with your email address.

Search Interface Gone arwy! Red! No, Blue.....ahhhh.....
by Sean G Richards 20 Jul '00

Here is my search interface and SQL method. search_query: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <form action="search_result" method="get"> <h2><dtml-var document_title></h2> <input name="select_statment" value="select * from courses_description "> <input name="where_statement" value=" where subject = 'ee'"> <input type="SUBMIT" name="SUBMIT" value="Submit Query"> </td></tr> </table> </form> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> search_results: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-in search_method size=50 start=query_start> <dtml-if sequence-start> <dtml-if previous-sequence> <a href="<dtml-var URL><dtml-var sequence-query >query_start=<dtml-var previous-sequence-start-number>"> (Previous <dtml-var previous-sequence-size> results) </a> </dtml-if previous-sequence> <table border> <tr> <th>SUBJECT</th> <th>COURSE NBR</th> <th>PART</th> <th>TEXT</th> </tr> </dtml-if sequence-start> <tr> <td><dtml-var SUBJECT></td> <td><dtml-var COURSE_NBR></td> <td><dtml-var PART></td> <td><dtml-var TEXT></td> </tr> <dtml-if sequence-end> </table> <dtml-if next-sequence> <a href="<dtml-var URL><dtml-var sequence-query >query_start=<dtml-var next-sequence-start-number>"> (Next <dtml-var next-sequence-size> results) </a> </dtml-if next-sequence> </dtml-if sequence-end> <dtml-else> There was no data matching this <dtml-var title_or_id> query. </dtml-in> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Z_SQL_method(search_method): <dtml-with search_query> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('left', select_statment + where_statement)"> </dtml-with> <dtml-var left> What I am trying to do is concatenate select_statment and where_statement , into a single statement known as left. There will be more parameters when I get this to work. Then, I want to use left, which would be a valid SQL statement, and throw it at my Z SQL method. I don't understand why I can't accomplish this, it doesn't seem like it should be difficult to me. Thank you for reading this and thanks in advance for any help. -Sean -- Sean G.

Hello, At 15:30 19.07.2000 +0000, you wrote: > does anybody know a possibility to change the identity during a browser > process, without killing all clients and logging in again? In the "Tracker" product, you will find two DTML Methods that will enable you to change the identity. They are called "login" and "relogin". Simply call <dtml-var login> to get a login prompt. I believe if you simply do not fill this form, you will get "Unauthorized" and then back to Anonymous. -------[login]---------------- <dtml-var relogin> <dtml-if "REQUEST.get('HTTP_REFERER', '') != ''"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(REQUEST.get('HTTP_REFERER'))"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(URL1)"> </dtml-if> ------------------------------- -------[relogin]----------------  Call this from other methods to force user reauthentication before redirecting back to the calling script. (This script leaves traces before raising "Unauthorized" so that it recognizes the return after the authentication, and avoids repeating. At that point the cookie used to recognize the return is removed, enabling the process for the next invocation.)      <dtml-call "REQUEST.RESPONSE.setCookie('relogin', 1, expires=(ZopeTime('GMT') +(1.0/(24*60))).rfc822())">  (Interim - the raise value only shows when the user login fails.)  Refresh this page to get the login prompt.   ----------------------------------- Best regards, Gérard Jr.
