Permissions / roles question
by Jean Jordaan 22 Aug '00

Hi all If "I'm jean with role(s) manage.", then why does this code in 'standard_wiki_footer' not offer to log me out?:: <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission('Change ZWiki Pages', this())"> <a href="<dtml-var id url_quote>/editform?cols=70&rows=20">Edit this page</a> <br> <dtml-comment> ## njj: change (changes to login code for GUF) ## </dtml-comment> <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('Anonymous', this())"> <a href="acl_users/login?moveto=<dtml-var PATH_INFO>">Login</a> <dtml-else> <a href="acl_users/logout?moveto=<dtml-var PATH_INFO>">Logout</a> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> <a href="acl_users/login?moveto=<dtml-var PATH_INFO>">Login</a> to edit<br> </dtml-if> I mean, the Manager role *does* have the 'Change ZWiki Pages' permission, and does *not* have the 'Anonymous' roles. What kind of a role is 'manage' anyway?? Roles in my Zope are: 'Anonymous Manager Owner ZWikiApprover ZWikiManager' and 'ZWikiUser', so where does 'manage' come from? It gets printed by the following from 'DTML Method at /debugging_info', which is referenced from 'standard_html_footer':: <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()"> with role(s) <tt> <dtml-in "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()"> <dtml-var sequence-item> <dtml-unless sequence-end> , </dtml-unless> </dtml-in> . </dtml-if> To try and answer my own question: '/wiki' access is governed by '/wiki/acl_users', (Generic User Folder), where 'jean' does *not* feature. Hmm, so 'DTML Method at /debugging_info' doesn't show the roles of 'jean' in the context of 'this()'? But surely this doesn't change the fact that 'jean' *does* have the 'Change ZWiki Pages' permission, and does *not* have the 'Anonymous' role. Enlightenment needed!

Hello everyone! My ISP where I have my web page, is running freeBSD 4.0. I do not know a lot about it. I know how to use crontab to start ZOPE at certain time how ever how do I use crontab to check on the script that is already running? Starting ZOPE again when it's running produces an error message and I do not know if that was a healthy solution. to start it I would be using something like: 5 * * * * root ./start This would start the script every five minutes. Now how do I check if the script is running after it's been started and if it wasn't to restart it again. Can anyone help? Regards, George Osvald Ps: I know about z2.pid. Neverthless I find ZOPE down quite often everytime they do something at the ISP. I asked them what to do and they told me to use crontab to check the script and restart it.

Can I use Zope?
by ryon＠altavista.net 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

I would like to run Zope from my commercial host. I definitely can not get root, and they do not allow cgi scripts from anywhere other than cgi-bin. Therefore Gldnspud's "third-party" installation notes do not apply. Errors when I try. I can unzip and install successfully in the cgi-bin, but Zope instructions say not to do this. Is there a good reason? Does this mean I can't use Zope with this hosting service? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com

that weird "manage" role ..
by Jean Jordaan 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

Seeing that 'manage' isn't defined as a role (looking at http://localhost:8080/manage_access ), I was confused about where it came from. Turns out that the superuser (the one entered when installing Zope) has that role, and managers defined "inside" Zope have the role 'Manager'. Is this documented somewhere? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

(my) faulty ZClass constructor
by Jean Jordaan 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

Hi all I realize it's probably going to turn out to be my mistake all along .. anyway, further testing shows that this works:: <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect( DestinationURL()+'/manage_workspace')"> but this:: <dtml-if DestinationURL> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect( DestinationURL()+'/manage_workspace')"> </dtml-if> generates a:: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: call of non-function (type string) with traceback ending:: File C:\programs\ZopeDev\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py, line 335, in eval (Object: RESPONSE.redirect( DestinationURL()+'/index_html')) (Info: DestinationURL) File <string>, line 0, in ? TypeError: (see above) What difference does the <dtml-if> make to DestinationURL? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K
