Need an SQL based auth system that works with Zope 2.2
by Tony McDonald 20 Jul '00

20 Jul '00

Hi all, I think the time has come to bite the bullet and change our authentication engine to work in line with Zope 2.2 and above. UserDB-1.2 seems to have some problems with it (see my message today), and frankly, I haven't got the time to try and figure out why. Another point against UserDB is that it's not being developed any more. Ah well, it did the job for a long time.... Can anyone who's using an SQL based authentication system with Zope 2.2 successfully please let me know which one you used and how you did it? ta muchly, tone. ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2

LocalFS and Image Files
by Rogerio Atem de Carvalho 20 Jul '00

20 Jul '00

Hi, I am using LocalFS to refer to image files (.jpg). I tried localfsObj['imagefile.jpg'] but it doesn't render the image. The same occurs inside Zope management interface, i.e., if I try "view", it shows me a broken link. I am testing it on 2.1.6 Win32, but it will go online in 2.1.7 Linux. Any hint? regards, Rogerio Atem ------------------------------------------- E-mail enviado pelo servidor do CEFETCampos

Yes, I made the proxy roles ... Before that Zope said: you are not authorized to access UserAuthentication But meaanwhile I turned to Zope-2.2.0 and I recognized "Login Manager" in the Available Objects. Is that the Login MAnager which was formerly distributed as a Product and hence makes GUF obsolete ??

Creating folders in LocalFS
by Aaron Williamson 19 Jul '00

19 Jul '00

I have a LocalFS object within a directory, and in the same directory I have a method which I want to use (among other things) to create new folders within the LocalFS object, which is called "pictures." If I try pictures.manage_addFolder(id) the folder gets stuck in the directory it is called from, not in pictures. There doesn't seem to be any specific docs on this, so I am at a loss. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. --Aaron

What is the proper way to reference multiple files like this? Is > this the proper way to use HTMLgen? You must make sure that your modules are found via the Python path mechanism. You may extend "PYTHONPATH" to include the directory, where you have placed your modules. However, I would follow a DC recommendation: Create a subfolder "<company_name>" in the directory ".../lib/python/Shared" and place your company specific infrastructure there (maybe in subfolders). From Python, you would access it by: form Share.<company_name> import .... i.e. as a Python package. Do not forget, to provide a "__init__.py" file in each package directory. It may be empty. Dieter

Re: [Zope] Implementing full text search

It is difficult to have the dtml-vars inserted, at least in the general case. Many DTML methods and documents need a context (client, namespace, REQUEST) to be rendered. Without this context, currently no provided by ZCatalog, rendering would throw exceptions and the document would not be cataloged. Probably, you can filter away all DTML and HTML tags. You would give "DTMLMethod" a new method, say "filteredSource". "filteredSource" could use sgmllib (or, more efficiently, sgmlop) to just keep the pure text and resolve simple character entities. Yes, it needs a Zope extension and it requires programming in Python. Dieter

Maybe, you are hit by one of the catalog/lexicon bugs. Look in the archives or the collector (http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector) Search for "lexicon bug". Dieter
