Return data from External Methods
by Steinar Rune Eriksen 13 Sep '00

13 Sep '00

I want to return raw XML data from a Python method in Zope, but Zope adds the following prefix to my return string: <html><head></head> Any suggestions how to get around that, so that only my own data (i.e. the XML file as a string) is returned ?

Zope help needed
by PR JANSE VAN RENSBURG 13 Sep '00

13 Sep '00

I dont know if i have subscribed to the correct mailing list, but i have a few questions about zope and wondered if anyone could help me. I am completely new to zope and therefore i dont have any knowledge regarding zope, i need to import a small web page into zope and create users etc. Where can i find step by step instructions about how to use zope. If i am a visitor to a site controlled by zope do i need to be included as a user in Zope or is this just for admin personel. I am currently the superuser on the system and i have also created a dummy user to be a manager. This dummy user can only add files etc. when he is a manager, and not when he is a user. I need to know how can i run this site to see what it looks like?

Importing multiple files into Zope
by Robert_J_Roberts＠rl.gov 13 Sep '00

13 Sep '00

I would like to be able to import multiple existing HTML files into Zope and make them searchable. For example: I would like to be able to point a Zope Method at my c:\python\doc subdirectory and import not only the index.html file, but also import the subdirectories under ...\doc\ and all of their files/directories. I would need to end up with the same folder/directory structure within Zope to retain the relative addressing. I would like to be able to then build a search screen that allowed me to do full text search on those files/objects. Is there something in existence in the Zope community? And, can it be used by a Zope 'wannabe' but a 'long way from getting there'. I do believe I could write such a thing myself, but I'm not sure I'll live long enough to figure out how! Thanks, Robert J. Roberts robert_j_roberts(a)rl.gov

zope login window: how to change the 'Zope' realm/resource??
by Gilles Lavaux 13 Sep '00

13 Sep '00

Hello, Question about Zope 2.2.1: - I have a 'administration' folder which contains administration methods and is restricted to the 'project_admin' role. - The user 'toto' has the role 'project_admin'. When I access this folder, the login window prompt for a 'Zope' resource (IE4, Opera4..). I want to replace this 'Zope' by 'project_admin', or whatever role needed by the folder. Any idee??

checking Zope's version number
by Hung Jung Lu 13 Sep '00

13 Sep '00

Is there a way of detecting Zope's version number? (I know there is an environment variable REQUEST.environ['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], but is there a better/standard way of accessing Zope's version number?) (I seem to have problem using the context.registerHelp() in a product's __init__ method under Zope 2.1.6.) regards, Hung Jung _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

ZODB export to other DB/format?
by j＠aldridgeinc.com 13 Sep '00

13 Sep '00

Hi, I made an effort to look through the FAQs on zope.org and couldn't find a definitive answer, though the ZODB faq hinted that my fears are warranted. If I deploy a site and store content in the ZODB, what are my options in terms of automatically getting it out of there and into another DB or format later on? I just installed Zope tonight and have been going through the exercises in the O'rielly chapters on the website. It's _really_ impressive, and I'm considering using it and learning some Python instead of the homebrewed PHP/MySQL Content Management App I've been working on, but without a good exit strategy should I want to migrate away from Zope later, I'm hesitant. Can I get an authoritative answer? -Justin Knoll
