Python Methods 0.1.7 under Zope 2.2.1
by J M Cerqueira Esteves 17 Sep '00

17 Sep '00

Working with Zope 2.2.1 (in two distinct servers), I noticed the following behaviour with (0.1.7) Python methods (created under Manager role): 1. Apparently anyone (non-authenticated users) can successfully run the methods even if these include operations (folder/file/user creation, etc.) for which the invoking user has no permission. 2. Although I am able to give Python methods the proxy role of Manager, I can not give them other proxy roles, roles which I also have and am able to give to DTML methods, for instance (anyway, problem 1 makes privileged proxy roles superfluous... :) ). Has anyone fixed this (while we wait for the new shiny Python methods)? Best regards & thanks in advance J Esteves -- jmce: +351 919838775 ~ http://artenumerica.com/ ~ http://artenumerica.org/

Mailhost problems (was: [Zope] (no subject))

This looks like a wrong "dtml-sendmail" format: the closing '>' of dtml-sendmail comes before "Subject", the empty line separating the message header from the body is missing. Try: <dtml-sendmail mailhost="MailHost3" mailto="vikas <suhail(a)morelinux.com>" mailfrom="suhail <suhail(a)morelinux.com>" subject="<A new Snippet has been added to ZDP !>"> COMMENT: Note the empty line above !!!

Domain name required Somehow, your SMTP server is unhappy about the request. As both your "To" and "From" contain domain names, only "hostname" is a bit doubtfull. But there should be no domain name necessary for it. When I checked the "dtml-sendmail" on Zope 2.2.1, I have been successful with: <dtml-sendmail mailhost=MailHost> To: dieter@localhost From: dieter@localhost Subject: A test Hello </dtml-sendmail> Similar problems have come up some weeks ago in the mailing list. Search the (searchable) list archive. Maybe, you can contact the person with this problem and check whether he was able to solve it. Dieter

The "libcrypt" reference is probably only a warning. You may look at the various "config.*" files to obtain more information about the configuration process and why it failed. Dieter

Zope does not store the properties as strings but as objects of the correct type. If you use the "PropertyManager" interface (as you should), then string values are *converted* to the correct type automatically. Dieter

I think, you can customize URL generation. The default method is "tpURL". I did not try it, however. And I may be wrong that it can help you. Dieter

Zope to PostgreSQL Connection?
by Cesar A. K. Grossmann 16 Sep '00

16 Sep '00

Hi I'm with some troubles to connect a freshly installed Zope 2.2.1 on a Conectiva Linux 5.0 (glibc-2.1.2, the rest is the same as Red Hat 6.x) to a PostgreSQL 7.0.2 database. The ZPyGreSQLDA (http://www.zope.org/Members/reedstrm/ZPyGreSQLDA-rjr) "is broken". I tried to get the PoPyDA working, but cannot compile the PoPy module (it complains about libcrypt - that is already installed). Can someone point's me to a useful documentation about what is needed to get PoPy compiled, or another way to connect a Zope 2.2.1 to a PostgreSQL database. Trying to compile PoPy 1.3.6: [root@bit PoPy-1.3.6]# ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for python... /usr/bin/python checking python version... 1.5 checking python installation prefix... /usr checking python installation exec_prefix... /usr checking definitions in Python library makefile... done checking location of python library... $(prefix)/lib/python1.5/site-packages checking location of python shared modules... $(exec_prefix)/lib/python1.5/site-packages checking for main in -lcrypt... no Warning: next test can fail because of a missing libcrypt checking for PQconnectStart in -lpq... no configure: error: can't build without PostgreSQL libraries Do we have a crypt library somewhere?

ZOPE - Size reduction ???
by George 16 Sep '00

16 Sep '00

I recently transformed my web site into a zope site. It's fantastic no question about that but I am a bit warried about the size of the web site. I already had to ask for user quota increase and it looks like I'll have to do it again soon. I got rid of the tutorial, products I did not need, the unnecessary doc files I deleted the quick start directory and I am flushing and packing the database often. What else can I do to decrease the size of ZOPE? Regards, George

set date property from External Method
by Gijs Reulen 16 Sep '00

16 Sep '00

Hi I would like to set a property with type 'date' from an External Method. Because the properties all seem to be saved as a string, in Python I do: self.prop_datetime = time.strftime('%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.000 GMT+1',time.localtime(time.time())) This results in a optically (!) correct value like: 2000/09/16 17:49:02.000 GMT+1 However, when I call a document which uses the date, as with: <dtml-with prop_datetime> <dtml-var "'%s %s om %s' % (dd(), aMonth(), TimeMinutes())"> </dtml-with> Zope produces an error: Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: NameError Error Value: dd The funny thing is, when I manage the properties and just do a 'save changes', the error is gone and the date is displayed correctly ... It seems to me that the date property is not saved as a string after all ? But what then ? I tried self.prop_datetime = time.localtime(time.time()) and self.prop_datetime = time.time(); both result in a string representing their value but none of them results in a date/time value ....
