updating only zCatalog ?
by Philipp Dunkel 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

Hi Zopers, I'm really happy that the with the newest zope releases the zCatalog has got more stable. I'd like to use it for my Products, but I don't have the time now to port everything to the new zope version. Is it possible to only use the new catalog and which files do I have to change/update ? Or is the catalog even as a product available? TIA philipp dunkel

Advice for new zope installation
by Henk Schets 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

Hi, After reading all the info about zope, I am very impressed with the possibilities it can deliver. However, before I migrate our existing site, I need to be certain about certain topics : - how easy and reliably can I manage my virtual hosts (about 8 sites right now) ? Very important. - how stable is Zope regarding to Apache on Linux ? - we have a MySql database, is it easy to connect with Zope ? - can I access the Zope internal database with e.g. ODBC ? - can I use log analyzers to get some statistics about our site ? - any advice about migrating an existing site ? Thanks, Henk Poppunt webmaster http://www.poppunt.be

Re: [Zope] Showing the name of a file-type form variable
by icottee＠bluefountain.com 28 Aug '00

Hi file.filename should be what you are after. e.g. In my latest project I set a variable myFileName to be the name of the file uploaded using <dtml-var "REQUEST.set('myFileName',file.filename)"> where file is the name of my file upload control in my form. Ian Original Message --- Hi Zopers I've got this:: <td><input type="file" name="file" <dtml-if file> value="<dtml-var "file">" </dtml-if> ></td> Which returns:: <ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 131dc48> in the input box. I'd really rather have the filename. How does one do that?

unauthorized when accessing /manage in zope 2.2.1
by Philipp Dunkel 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

Hia Zopers, I'm totally confused and I couldn't figure it out in 2 working days so here it is: I have a Zope Product that makes use of different nested classes. When I create an instance of this product I always get an "unauthorized" error when clicking the instance in the management interface (=accessing <instance>/manage) even if I am logged in as a manager or superuser. The strange thing is that for example <instance>/manage_access works fine for me. I tried all stuph with permissions, switched acquisition on and off, added 'manage' to my permission tuple, gave everyone the right to view management-screens and so on. The error message says only "unauthorized" and the traceback points to Management.py Any Ideas? (btw: it worked fine in 2.1.6) thanx a lot philipp dunkel, zReal Productions, The Hague

Problem with SiteAccess 1.0.1
by William JOYE 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

Hello, I have some minor problems with SiteAccess 1.0.1 and Zope 2.1.6 + hotfix. 1. When click on the folder that contain SiteRoot, I need to enter again login and password. Why ? 2. When I delete an object, I have always an script error message. Why ? Are these problems already fixed ? Is the SiteAccess 1.0.1 product stable enough to use it in production ?

Sub Class Question
by Daniel Rusch 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

I've created a BasicMethod which is derived from the DTMLMethod. everything works great until I try to have the sub class's (BasicMethod) __call__ method call the super class's (DTMLMethod) __call__ method. class BasicMethod(DTMLMethod): """BasicMethod objects are DocumentTemplate.HTML objects that act as methods whose 'self' is the BasicMethod itself.""" meta_type='Basic Method' def __call__(self, client=None, REQUEST={}, RESPONSE=None, **kw): print 'Sub Class __call__' DTMLMethod.__call__(self, client, REQUEST, RESPONSE, kw) Globals.default__class_init__(BasicMethod) when I view the BasicMethod in Zope, I get: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: too many arguments; expected 4, got 5 I believe that I need the self arg, if I remove it I get an unbound python method error. Any thoughts??? DR

Newbie question: FORM processing in Zope.
by Amit Redij 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

hi, I am a Perl/CGI programmer, trying out Zope. I am confused right now about HOW TO process FORM variables? and most important thing is how to validate form inputs.(like same thing is best done in PERL using regex) that is, if I have a html having some form variables and a submit button. I click on the submit button. it should call some script..right? My question is how to pass values from one script to another. how is this done in Zope? thanks a lot in advance. regards Amit ---------------------------------------- .--. |o_o | |\_/ | // \ \ Amit Redij (| | ) mailto:amitr@w-o-i.com /'\_ _/`\ \___)=(___/ ----------------------------------------

How to Delete ZClass Instances programmatically??
by Jean Jordaan 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

Hi Zopers I've found the "How-To: Adding ZClass Instances Programmatically", but now I'm looking for the *Deleting ZClass Instances* one! I'm trying this as a beginning (hacked from the Zope management interface):: <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('ContentManager')"> <form action="<dtml-var URL0>" method="post"> </dtml-if> [...] <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('ContentManager')"> <input type="checkbox" name="ids:list" value="<dtml-var id>"> </dtml-if> [...] <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('ContentManager')"> <input type="submit" name="manage_delObjects:method" value="Delete"> </form> </dtml-if> Problems: - it sends me to the management screen afterwards, and I'm calling it from the public interface. - I don't necessarily want to give the 'ContentManager' rights to delete objects; I'd rather manage this through a delete method with the appropriate proxy role. Any advice or RTFM pointers? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K
