Hello all zopist, I debianise and compile zope 2.3.0 for myself. While runing it fails with # /etc/init.d/zope start File "/usr/bin/zope-z2", line 543, in ? ... File "/usr/lib/zope/ZServer/PubCore/ZServerPublisher.py", line 85, in ? from ZPublisher import publish_module ImportError: No module named ZPublisher done. I look at the /usr/lib/zope/lib/python and the file ZPublisher.py exist there. -- Radek Hnilica <Radek_Hnilica at LinuxFan dot COM>

Decision question from a beginner
by Christophe Lombart 31 Jan '01

31 Jan '01

Tha's clear Zope is really interesting for my web application but I have a small issue concering java. My customer is using Java (mainly servlet & EJB). It is a well know question on your mailing lists but I want to be sure to understand everything. So, can you confirm or give some feedbacks on the following questions : 1. Is it possible to add a servlet in my Zope server. By this way, I have the strong features like security defined in Zope and it is not necessary to rewrite the code defined in this servlet. 2. If I understand, I can write my business logic in python. From this python code, I can used a java package (thanks to jython). So I can call an EJB method from a zope object. Is it correct ? This kind of integration is much interesting for my customer than rewrite all in python. In fact, his idea is using Zope for the content management and EJB for the business logic. All comments are welcome on that. Many thanks in advance Christophe _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

PCGI and MS-IIS on Nt5
by Paul Zwarts 31 Jan '01

31 Jan '01

Greetings all, I've searched through Zopesite and a few docs on setting up Zope with MS-IIS, but I cannot get PCGI to work.... I followed BriaH's document and did everything. I CAN access http://localhost:8080/scripts/zope.pcgi and get what I want to see in <dtml-var REQUEST>... so, technically I did set it up correctly, but I want to configure the default document so when I just put in: http://localhost I will get the root folder of my zopesite WITH the PCGI working. Now, I need to use: http://localhost:8080 I get my website, but PCGI is not working, as I can see in <dtml-var REQUEST> that it isnt connecting the PCGI. Without PCGI, my SQL Session will not work. If I goto http://localhost/scripts/zope.pcgi, I get what I want with the PCGI, but I cannot use the site because the links do not work. Can anyone explain what Im doing wrong? TIA, Paz

Zope Permission object destroys Security tab
by Itai Tavor 31 Jan '01

31 Jan '01

Hi, I have a Zope product, with a lot of ZClasses in it. I defined a Zope Permission in this product with id='change_my_objects_permission' and name='Change My Objects'. I assigned this permission to several classes - not sure which ones. When I click on Security in the top Zope folder I get this: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: __getitem__ Traceback (innermost last): File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_access) File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_access) File /opt/Zope/lib/python/AccessControl/Role.py, line 262, in manage_access (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 324, in __call__ (Object: _normal_manage_access) File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 353, in _bindAndExec (Object: _normal_manage_access) File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/App/special_dtml.py, line 236, in _exec (Object: _normal_manage_access) File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_With.py, line 146, in render (Object: _.namespace(valid_roles=valid_roles())) File /opt/Zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py, line 660, in renderwob (Object: permission_settings) File /opt/Zope/lib/python/AccessControl/Role.py, line 185, in permission_settings (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /opt/Zope/lib/python/AccessControl/Role.py, line 180, in <lambda> AttributeError: (see above) I added this statement to permission_settings (line 176 of AccessControl/Role.py): print('name=%s, value=%s, roles=%s' % (name, value, roles)) When it gets to my permission it outputs this: name=Change My Objects, value=(), roles=<Rewrapper instance at 8735f30> I deleted the problem permission and created a new one called Test. This time the Security page worked and I got: name=Test, value=(), roles=['Manager'] If I recreate the problem permission, the problem returns. The only difference is that 'Change My Objects' is used somewhere in a ZClass. But a) I can't find out where it's used other than by manually checking 20 ZClasses, and b) why would that be a problem anyway? And what's this Rewrapper thing? And why am I suddenly attracting all these annoying bugs? -- Itai Tavor -- "Je sautille, donc je suis." -- itai(a)optusnet.com.au -- - Kermit the Frog -- -- -- -- "Every day, once a day, give yourself a present" - Dale Cooper --

zope-2.3 and ftp aware apps
by Bak＠kedai 31 Jan '01

31 Jan '01

hi i tried konqueror and kwrite (kde2.0) with zope 2.3 everything works so beautifully, i don't know who to high five. i mean, this should give people who don't want to use the browser as a management interface a good replacement/option. kwrite also comes with syntax highlighting, and it works great with dtml, sql methods, zclass. there's also stuff that comes with kwrite - spell checking and find/replace, to name a few. kwrite and konqi has a little problem getting python script/method. can't seem to finish retrieval. i can get the files if i ftp from command line. what i did -fire up kwrite -open ftp://myid@mysite.com:myftp_port -edit stuff, save, close, quit -start another one! !! -- http://www.kedai.com.my/kk http://www.kedai.com.my/eZine Help me save me from myself...

Associating properties with users
by W. Robert Kellock 31 Jan '01

31 Jan '01

Does anyone have a simple (for a Zope newbie) way of associating properties with users? I don't care whether the property is stored in the ZODB or externally in a SQL database, but what I want to be able to do is track a user as they navigate through my site and do certain things based on a property that belongs to that user. Simply put: User: Whoever1 Property1: 123 Property2: ABC User: Whoever2 Property1: 987 Property2: ZYX etc etc for many users. I've looked at LoginManager using Zope release 2.3.0, but it seems overly complex for what I want and I can't get it to go anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W.Robert Kellock Ph: +64 3 326 6115 Sales Manager Fax: +64 3 326 6115 Credit Systems Control Ltd Web: www.creditscore.co.nz "making decisions easy" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

default page is zope_quick_start! - Zope 2.3 release for windows
by Ian Thomas 31 Jan '01

31 Jan '01

A little problem I'm having with the new Zope 2.3 - Windows version. I edited index_html and it works fine if I enter http://host.com/index_html but if I enter http://host.com it gives me the quick start page zope_quick_start! Does anybody know off hand where this page is stored so I can edit it directly? A workaround until 2.3.1 is released. or better where to fix this in the code! Ian Thomas
