MountedFileStorage

Hi, Using and reading the MountedFileStorage Product I got the impression that I can mount an existing Data.fs in another Data.fs. Is this possible or is only possible to mount a "create new" Data.fs?

Access and accounts NT vs ?
by Coleman, Bryan 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

I am developing an Intranet application for the company I work for. I am trying to come up with an easy way to tie in the Zope security model and users in an external database. Is there a way to manipulate the security access and have those changes reflected in a database such as Gadlfy? I would also like to sync the users with there NT accounts. I have looked at the NTusersfolder and can not quite figure out how it is supposed to work. Being a Unix guy I dont have that much experience with NT. And would it still be feasible to tie it in with a DB? - Bryan Patrick Coleman Questcon Technologies (336)273-2428 ext-416 bcoleman(a)questcon.com

This must be a namespace problem
by Max Møller Rasmussen 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

I have a site structure like this: root subfolder Then i have made a dtml document "index_html" in the "root" folder like this: ---------------- <html> <head><title>test</title></head> <body> <dtml-var content> </body> </html> ---------------- Also I have a dtml method "content" in the root folder like this: ---------------- <h2>Root folder</h2> this is the content of the root folder ---------------- Then I have made a method "content" in "subfolder" ---------------- <h2>Sub folder</h2> this is the content of the sub folder ---------------- all in all: ---------------- root index_html content subFolder content ---------------- When i view "root" folde i see the index_html document just fine, and the content gets inserted like it should. But when I view the "subFolder" I would expect it to look for the "index_html" in the root folder and then the "content" method in the subFolder. But it uses the "root" folder "content". How can I make it us the "content" in the current directory, but the index_html from the root folder. Can this not be done?? Kind regards Max M

XML and Zope newbie question...
by Eric L. Walstad 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

Hi All, I am just getting started in XML and am trying to figure out how it works with Zope. I would like to be able to post some data to Zope in XML format and have Zope parse the data into Zope objects. Is this possible? It seems like I should be able to create the Zclasses and, when Zope receives the post, have Zope automagically create the necessary objects from my classes. Any input on how to do this or pointers to a better way would be fantastic. Please respond to me directly as I am not currently able to handle the list volume. Thanks, Eric.

Lock and Transaction in Zope.
by Aitor Grajal 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

I think I know how to manage transactions in Zope, but I don't know how to lock Zope resources for multiple requests. For example : I have a DTML Method, called "transac1", which looks like this : <dtml-if "var==0"> <dtml-call wait_10_seconds> "waiting 10 seconds..." <dtml-call "manage_editProperties({'var':1})"> </dtml-if> wait_10_seconds is an External Method that sleeps for 10 seconds. In the other hand, I have another method, called "transac2" : <dtml-if "var==0"> <dtml-call "manage_editProperties({'var':2})"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "manage_editProperties({'var':3})"> </dtml-if> In the parent Folder, there's a property called "var" which I use in these methods. It has an initial value of 0. The point is : if I call the first method, and while it's sleeping, I call the second one (from another window, for example), it doesn't work properly. The first one crashes, and doesn't finish right. The final "var" value is 2. I want to know if there is any way to lock the folder, and its properties, so no one can access to it until my method "transac1" finishes, and where can I find information about locking resources in Zope.

PTK - member can reconfigure portal
by Anders Eriksson 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

Hello, I am a beginner on Zope so maybe I'm doing something wrong but... I have installed the Portal ToolKit 0.8.2 complete, and most things seem to work except: I have joined the Portal and when I log in as this member and select 'My Stuff', I get a new menu item: 'Re-configure portal'! Which will let this user/member change things that only the owner/super should be able to do!(?) So what have I done wrong? (.or can it be a bug.) I'm running zope 2.2.1 on a Windows NT 4 workstation (SP6a) -- Best regards, Anders mailto:ame@swipnet.se The Romans didn't find algebra very challenging, because X was always 10.

Need help with ZJetDA, Winnt4 and Zope 2.2.1
by Farrell, Troy 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

As you have no doubt heard my cries for help, I figure that very few are running NT4. I am having a permissions difficultie with ZJetDA trying to modify data in an Access97 database. On my server, the DA is able to SELECT * FROM tablename with no problem, but when it comes to INSERT INTO tablename VALUES (...) or UPDATE, I get a Query Error with a value of INVALID OPERATION. I mirror (It is identical, i checked 5+ times) all the objects on my NT4 laptop and it works ok. The databases are Identical, I copied the working one to the non-working server and still no go. The traceback is as follows: Traceback (innermost last): File C:\PROGRA~1\JESTER\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File C:\PROGRA~1\JESTER\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 187, in publish File C:\PROGRA~1\JESTER\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Traversable) File C:\PROGRA~1\JESTER\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 171, in publish File C:\PROGRA~1\JESTER\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: browsestates) File C:\PROGRA~1\JESTER\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: browsestates) File C:\PROGRA~1\JESTER\lib\python\OFS\DTMLDocument.py, line 177, in __call__ (Object: browsestates) File C:\PROGRA~1\JESTER\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 528, in __call__ (Object: browsestates) File C:\PROGRA~1\JESTER\lib\python\Shared\DC\ZRDB\DA.py, line 450, in __call__ (Object: bmsdb_jet_select_browse_state_sub_insert_into_temptablebrowse) File C:\PROGRA~1\JESTER\lib\python\Products\ZJetDA\db.py, line 130, in query Query Error: (see above) Rant: I've been working on this for days. I don't seem to understand the security model since I didn't have any problems before 2.2.x. If I cannot get this resolved, I'll move back to the 2.1.x series. I really want this to work as it is my companie's introduction to open source software. Have a :) day. Thanks.

Squishdot
by Roch'e Compaan 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

I've upgraded our Zope Server to 2.2.1 and upgraded squishdot to 7.1. Whenever I post an article on my squishdot sites I get an attribute error: _catalog. It seems like squishdot has trouble putting the article in the catalog. I did modify all references to thread[0] to getThread(0): Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/2-2-0/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /usr/local/zope/2-2-0/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/local/zope/2-2-0/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/zope/2-2-0/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /usr/local/zope/2-2-0/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: addPosting) File /usr/local/zope/2-2-0/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: addPosting) File /usr/local/zope/2-2-0/lib/python/Products/Squishdot/Squishdot.py, line 979, in addPosting (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/zope/2-2-0/lib/python/Products/Squishdot/Squishdot.py, line 702, in setItem (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/zope/2-2-0/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/ZCatalog.py, line 377, in catalog_object (Object: Traversable) AttributeError: (see above)

RE: [Zope] Zope 2.2.1 Solaris 8 dumps core

Anything I can do? > I am completely new to both Python and Zope ... I don't know of any problems inherent to running on Sol8. It seems like maybe it could have something to do with your Python installation. One way you could test that is to cd to the lib/python dir of your Zope installation, start your local Python interpreter and try: import ExtensionClass Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations www.digicool.com
