How to automatically document a Zope site?
by Brad Clements 26 Sep '00

26 Sep '00

I'm looking for a product, how-to or suggestions on how to document a zope site. Basically I just want to walk the tree of objects and output a nicely formatted series of pages that list the object, type, title, modification time, etc.. Anyone got something ready made?

Cookie pointer.

I learned this one the hard way. Had a python method id: expireTime parameters: self body: t = self.ZopeTime() + (1.0/192.0) # 7.5 minutes in the future t = t.toZone('GMT') return t.strftime("%A, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT") ------------------------------------------------------ Was trying the following <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('name', 'value', path='/', expires=expireTime)"> This does NOT work. THe following works MUCH better <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('name', 'value', path='/', expires=expireTime())"> -- Steve Drees SysAdmin/Software Developer/Web Geek/Chief Bottle Washer "A problem well-stated is a problem half-solved." http://www.christianmp3zone.com/savanna

multiple ZOPE ...
by Dicken, Peer 25 Sep '00

25 Sep '00

Hi, How can I provide ZOPE Hosting? I have successfully tried SiteAccess and Apache Proxying, but that´s not what I like - it´s a little bit ZOPE "light", no control panel for clients... I think it´s best to provide a zope installation for any of our clients, but, wouldn´t that be eating up my servers memory? Today i´ve set up three installations by simply having 3 zope installations running on different ports in different folders (/www/domain/zope). Is there any more advanced way to do (virtual) hosting with zope AND provide control panels to the clients or is it okay to have one installation per costumer running?

password management and acl_users
by jpenny＠universal-fasteners.com 25 Sep '00

Is ther an easy way to allow a user defined in an acl_users to change their own password? Or to put it another way, suppose I wanted a form like: User ID: Current Password: New Password: New Password (2nd time): How would I arrange to have the new password stored in a given instance of acl_users? Thanks Jim

RE: Stability problems using ZOracleDA
by Andy Pahne 25 Sep '00

hi, we were suffering from the same problem, but now it works. when you use ZOracleDA, be sure not to use DCOracle, which ships with it. There's a newer version on the Zope site. Use the new one instead and everything will be fine. Our systems admin told me that he also modified either ZOracleDA or DCOracle, I'm not sure, butr I'm gonna ask him to post here...

still problems w/ SiteAccess 2.0.0b3
by Mario Olimpio de Menezes 25 Sep '00

25 Sep '00

Hi, After struggling with Zope 2.2.1 + SiteAccess 2.0.0b3 upgraded from Zope 2.1.6, I gave up: I purged the previous installation and started from scratch. Now I have a strange scenario: SiteAccess is installed and I can see SiteRoot and Set Access Rule in the popup menu but SiteAccess doesn't appear in Products. So when I try to add a SiteRoot I get: ------------ Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: SiteAccess <!-- Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 162, in publish File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/BaseRequest.py, line 338, in traverse File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/App/FactoryDispatcher.py, line 102, in __bobo_traverse__ File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/App/Product.py, line 135, in _product (Object: Traversable) AttributeError: (see above) ------------- How to fix this? I have restarted zope a number of times without success!

Redirect FTP access on a role basis
by Danny William Adair 25 Sep '00

25 Sep '00

Is it possible to redirect FTP access to subfolders depending on user's role? If yes, how can I do that? I would like to have ftp://www.mysite.com connect to the graphics folder "/gfx", if an account with a "Designer role" connects to the server in order to upload/exchange graphics. His account is only permitted to exchange graphics anyway (through web interface or FTP), so why should I show him the root tree? tia, Danny P.S.: Yes, I know that I can set _permissions_ for FTP access.
