Theodore - I bet you're running into the same problem as the folks using the ODBC adaptor. I've attached the post I made addressing this a few minutes ago. If this fixes your problem, could you send a note to the zope-list and let the folks there know that the fix works for the Oracle DA too? (I'm going out of town today, so I won't be able to forward it if you only reply to me) Thanks! > Hi guys - > > For those of you (I've mostly heard ODBC adapter users) > having authorization problems with your SQL methods, heres > the scoop: > > Database connections use one of two classes in the > framework for wrapping up result data returned from > queries.

Zope Components and ZPatterns
by RC Compaan 17 Jul '00

17 Jul '00

In trying to install ZPatterns on linux the install fails during the "make" part of the install, complaining about a non-existant ExtensionClass.h, which should be in the Zope Components directory (also not existent). I noticed on the mailing list that one should do a rebuild if you install from the source. I ran the install script that comes with the source but still no Components directory is created and no ExtensionClass.h is to be found. Where do I go wrong? Waiting for ZPattern-magic Roché

PropertySheet Question
by Darin Lee 17 Jul '00

17 Jul '00

Hi everyone, I want to do something very simple: I have a ZClass propertysheet with an integer property called "views" Every time I load the page, I would like to increment this value by one, and write it back to the propertysheet. (Yep, a good old-fashioned access counter) Sounds easy right?? Well, I can't seem to figure it out. Every time I get a little farther with Zope, something "trivial" like this completely knocks me for a loop and sends me hunting through piles of howto's for hours! argh...how hard can it be?? Got this from the help page (hopefully on the right track)... manage_changeProperties(self, REQUEST=None, **kw): However, there is no clear example of how to call without a REQUEST object. I want to increment views, and then write it back to the property sheet. That's all. Do I need to include the asterisks? Do I need to include the keyword "self?" It really doesn't say. Everything I have seen on Zope.org, references the Web context with a REQUEST object. Coming from the "Perl-CGI" world I can honestly say, Zope *feels* like it should be easier to develop with, but this learning curve is immense!

RE: [Zope] upgrade to 2.2 and zsql methods problems
by Brian Lloyd 17 Jul '00

17 Jul '00

> I have the exact same problem. > > Júlio > Hi guys - For those of you (I've mostly heard ODBC adapter users) having authorization problems with your SQL methods, heres the scoop: Database connections use one of two classes in the framework for wrapping up result data returned from queries. One of those classes (that understands results in RDB format) was missing a required security assertion. The results returned by the ODBC adapter were bitten by this - probably there are other adapters that could be affected. I've attached a patch file for the file: lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/RDB.py ...as well as an updated version of the whole file (since I know a lot of you will be on Windows w/o patch :) Either patch or replace the file and restart Zope to fix the problem. This is also checked in for a 2.2.1 release that will probably happen after a few weeks when enough people have upgraded to shake out any other problems.

SECURITY ROLES and < DTML-IN>
by Theodore Patrick 17 Jul '00

17 Jul '00

I am having trouble rendering a <DTML IN> in ZOPE 2.2.0 to any user regardless of roles. I have allocated the proper rights to all objects used and nothing happens. The <IN> will not let any user view its contents. <DTML IN> I am using an <IN> in a DTML Document to render the contents of an SQL_Method from and Oracle Database. There are 3 objects. 1. Database Connection(ORACLE) - Working and can run test. OK 2. SQL_Method(VIEW_METHOD)- Working and can see results when run. SQL: select id, v_id vid, item_name name, url from item The SQL method returns columns: id, vid, name, url as expected. OK 3. DTML Document - Works fine with an IN that renders folder properties. Change the Source of the <DTML IN to the SQL_Method and it will prompt me for user authentication. <dtml-in VIEW_METHOD size=1000 start=query_start> <dtml-var id>, <dtml-var vid>, <dtml-var name>, <dtml-var url> </dtml-in> When used it prompts the user to login - REGARDLESS OF CURRENT LOGIN and returns the following error. Traceback (innermost last): File C:\PROGRA~1\island8\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File C:\PROGRA~1\island8\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 187, in publish File C:\PROGRA~1\island8\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 171, in publish File C:\PROGRA~1\island8\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: view) File C:\PROGRA~1\island8\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: view) File C:\PROGRA~1\island8\lib\python\OFS\DTMLMethod.py, line 167, in __call__ (Object: view) File C:\PROGRA~1\island8\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: view) File C:\PROGRA~1\island8\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_In.py, line 602, in renderwb (Object: view_method) Things I have tried. 1. Opening up security all the way on all objects. Doesn't work. It continues to ask me to log-in. 2. Proxy the DTML Documents ROLE to a higher role for the SQL_METHOD. Fails just as before. Is this a bug? Can anyone else confirm this. PLATFORM: WINDOWS NT 4 ZOPE: 2.2.0 Final Release.

PCGI and 2.2.0 final horribly broken?
by Bill Anderson 17 Jul '00

17 Jul '00

I can't get this combo to work at all. All I get is """ C-Runtime errno: Connection refused PCGI Error: (102) failure during connect to ZServer """ Anyone have any suggestions? File permissions are fine... Bill -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.

Case sensitivity
by Ian Sparks 17 Jul '00

17 Jul '00

One of my pet peeves with web servers is that : mysite.com/Members is different to : mysite.com/members (but there is no difference between MYSITE.COM and mysite.com) is there any way of making Zope case-insensitive? - Ian Sparks.

not for me. everything worked fine on my redhat 6.0 box. first I thought upgrading would be a nightmare but after all it took me 10 minutes and all my sites are up and running smoothly :-) andy >Hi, > >this seams to be a bugglet in the final distribution, the pcgi_wrapper is >not build by the install script.
