User roles in different folder (Copy roles?)
by Peter Bengtsson 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

I have given my friends a folder of their own on my Zope site. /root /friends /friend_ONE /friend_TWO /friend_THREE All my friends are Manager of their own folder. Now, me and my friends have folder called /images. And I want everybody with a friend folder of their own and me to have access to the /images folder. All they can do is upload images. /root /friends /friend_ONE /friend_TWO /friend_THREE /images How do I use the User permissions in each /friend folder to give them access to the /images folder? I don't have many friends so I can hand code it if I must. (prefer not to, if the marry and change name later on) [ Shame on my for I haven't read through the e-books I ordered from Beehive.de ] Peter Bengtsson - bloody good programmer

Re: [Zope] Zope + Apache on FreeBSD 4.0 problems

I did run into a problem myself it might be the same as yours. I kept getting: Temporarily Unavailable The resource you requested is temporarily unavailable - please try again later. (116) unable to connect, fd=4 The pcgi log would say: Sun Jul 16 20:04:25 2000 pcgi-wrapper: Error receiving stdout (116) unable to connect, fd=4 After much debugging I found that if you looked at the PCGIPublisher::handler method in pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py, it would do a conn.send(stdout) and if you looked at the return value you would find that it only would send 8192 bytes no matter how long the stdout string was. This is due to some sysctl settings: net.local.stream.recvspace and net.local.stream.sendspace. They are set to 8192. I adjusted mine to 65536 using the following two commands: sysctl -w net.local.stream.recvspace=65536 sysctl -w net.local.stream.sendspace=65536 Now it seems to be working well. I'm not sure whose bug this is. I think it is probably a problem with FreeBSD. I'll upgrade to 4.0-STABLE soon and see if is still a problem. If this is not the problem you are having, you really need to elaborate more on what you mean by 'maimed' output.

How do I count children?
by J. Atwood 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

So In ZUBB (my discussion product) I want to be able to show how many replies there have been to any one main topic. All replies are 'children' of the main post and when I state it with <dtml-tree branches=children> Stuff </dtml-tree> It works and knows that each message is a child of the message. When in go through a searchResult to list the message I want to show many replies there are to that message. Q: How do I count the 'children' of any one onject? Thanks, J

Steve Spicklmire has also written the ZCVSMixin product (which I've never actually used) that might let you integration filesystem versioning with Zope more easily as well... > -----Original Message----- > From: Patrick Lewis [mailto:pl@teleport.com] > Sent: Friday, July 21, 2000 12:50 PM > To: 'zope(a)zope.org' > Subject: Re: [Zope] request for advice > > > On Fri, Jul 21, 2000 at 04:29:01PM +0100, Seb Bacon wrote: > > Hello folks, > > > > I'm just beginning to design my first big Zope application. > I'm writing to > > ask zopististitiatatas for some advice, since I'm a bit of > a newbie and I > > want to make sure: > > > > [a] I reuse as much code as possible > > [b] I make my code as reusable as possible > > [c] my application is stable and scalable > > > > 1.

Property Problem (type converting)
by Sven Hohage 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

I like the property of a folder being a list, because new entries should be automatically updated(strings with the current month-name). I've tried tokens but it's not working correctly. <dtml- if "not MonthNow in oldTime"> <dtml-call "oldTime.append(MonthNow)"> <dtml-call "entries.manage_changeProperties({'months': oldTime})">//months is the token-property </dtml- if> The problem is that every new entry is a single list.I've tried type-converting but it's not working for me. Many thanks for any hint.

I suspect > the answer is that the PTK is ALL bleeding edge still .. The PTK is mainly bleeding edge but there are people using it for real worl apps. If you want to do so, you will probably need to be comfortable hacking the PTK python source. There's a big change which I think Shane Hathaway is working on right now which should make a lot of the needs to do this go away. > Actually, looking at > http://www.zope.org//Products/PTK/ZWiki/PTKInstallation > I think I better back off for a bit.

And I am working on Squishdot ;-) Parting advice would be to join the zope-ptk(a)zope.org mailing list and look out for any interesting developments. cheers, Chris
