REQUEST.form.set ???
by Brian Withun 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

Is it possible for DTML to create or modify a form value? I understand that REQUEST.form is a dictionary, but I cannot seem to add dictionary elements. I've tried <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.form['test']='value'"> <dtml-call expr='REQUEST.form["test"]="value"'> <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.form.set('test','value')"> but none of them work. What am I doing wrong here? ------------ Brian Withun

Your browser will not send your > authentication information to a URL with a different host name. In my Zope root directory, I have created a folder by site. So I have folders : Site1, Site2,... I have included in each folder a Siteroot object with the following parameters : For Site1 (subfolder site1) : Base: http://www.site1.com Path: / For Site2 (subfolder site2) : Base: http://www.site2.com Path: / And so on... In the Apache configuration, I have also set a rewrite rule for each domain like this : <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> ServerName www.site1.com .... RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/Site1/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] </VirtualHost> Is it correct ? I have another strange behavior. When I copy an object from Site1 folder, I can't past it in the Site2 folder. Is it normal ?

Help: mod_python+ZPublisher and authentication
by Gilles Lavaux 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

Hello, This is not exactly a Zope question, but I hope that some of you will be able to help me: I am using mod_python + ZPublisher + Ztemplate on a apache server and now I would like to restrict the access of some pages served by the ZHandler.py. How to do it?? Do I have to put a rewrite rule in apache? The Zhandler.py seams to reply all the time a 200 code to apache, do I have to modify it to send back an 'Unauthorized' code??( I don't know how to raise the 'Unauthorized' error from the python module I am publishing) Thanks for any help Gilles Lavaux

Wanted: Procedure to produce binary release from source release
by Soren Roug 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

I support a couple of UNIX platforms, that are DC doesn't provide binary releases for. So what I would like to do is roll my own binary release and then send it to my system administrators. However, trying to do this from the source release is no easy task, so I would like to know if DC has a script that does this automatically and are they willing to share it? Preferably downloadable from www.zope.org. Best regards Soren Roug

by albert boulanger 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

This seems to be missing in this version of site access. I am followig the url based session howto. There is a file ChangeBehaviors.py in the SiteAcces 1.x versions that seem to be missing in 2.0b3 that defines this function. An oversight or is there a change in API? Zope version: Zope 2.2.1 (binary release, python 1.5.2, solaris-2.6-sparc) Regards, Albert Boulanger aboulanger(a)ldeo.columbia.edu

ANN: NewsCenter0.0.8
by Kapil Thangavelu 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

Link: http://www.zope.org/Members/k_vertigo/ZopeProducts/NewsCenter/index_html Changes: ZCatalog Searches PyXML distro download link updated Minor fixes. Caveats: IF YOU"RE USING ZOPE 2.2.1 - ZCatalog now generates log messages for attempts to uncatalog items not in the catalog. The update methods tries to uncatalog before updating and cataloging, otherwise older news items might still exist in the catalog. hence you will see lots of catalog errors fly by the when a channel is initially published. this is harmless but annoying. Testing: I tested it on a fresh compile of 2.2.1 and retrieved an ocs channel list, rss channels, published/unpublished them, and searched the channels. Kapil

ANN: ZWikiZC version 0.7.3 alpha
by Johan Carlsson 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

The ZWikiZC version 0.7.3 alpha completely rely on ZCatalog for looking up WikiPages from WikiNames. No references are stored in the ZWikiZG page letting cut&paste, delete and other management actions ignore updating links. I bellew this is a more scalable solution than in the version 0.7.2 alpha. Bottle neck might be if a page contains alote of WikiNames. I also cleaned it up a bit (remove some hacky stuff from the old ZWiki). Also added are keywords, wiki_meta_types and author_ids. http://www.zope.org/Members/johanc/ZWikiZG/wiki Cheers, Johan Carlsson

Re: "Automatic" creation of searchable documents from Oracle DB tables
by Satheesh Babu 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

Hi Chris, I've a system, where folks enter data through some HTML forms -> DTML methods -> Oracle tables. This is mainly used for storing web page content. Then I generate a static document using a chosen template, from the database. I think this is some what similar to your requirement. This is seemingly a round about way of doing things. My reasons: 1. I'm not really confident in ZODB recovery in case of a data corruption. 2. I'm lot more confident of getting data out of Oracle using SQL, than writing Python on ZODB :-( 3. Our content can grow quite large, 20-25GB is very realistic. 4. Oracle's interMedia search is very capable. 5. As long as core content is in Oracle, the front end can be Zope or PHP or ASP as the suites might dictate. Why the hell do I make static document back from database? 1. Dynamically creating documents from Oracle is time consuming. So, I create static version as some kind of cache. 2. To create links between data in database, it is a lot more easier for users, with static versions. I've working code for this that I could share with you. Ideally what I want is 1. ZClass to reflect document attributes 2. When one manages a ZClass instance, corresponding record in Oracle gets managed as well. Didn't get time to check this properly. Someone told be ZPatterns will be of great help. But then again, Paul Everitt has said that they are working on Oracle+ZODB. I worked on an Oracle based storage for some time, but then dropped it. To make a long story short, for help on making static content from RDBMS, there is an excellent HOW-TO at www.zope.org/Members/rossl/GenerateStaticPages HTH vsbabu(a)csoft.net http://www.mamlegault.com/~vsbabu/
