Hello, I am having difficulty in setting up the MailHost on the Zope Server. Every time I try I get an error: Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Debugging Notice Zope has encountered a problem publishing your object. Cannot locate object at: zope/manage_addProduct/MailHost/manage_addMailHost I am having the same problem as a post I found on the eGroups list Hello, after the installation of the 12-08 fix you can't add MailHost anymore. I see that the product use a "legacy" method. Any solution? Thank you in advance. -- Best regards, Salvatore Sciacco I too have installed this Hotfix_2000-12-08 Thanks for all your help Norman

terrible kludge to set password
by Kyler B. Laird 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

I was unsuccessful at finding any examples of changing a user's password from DTML, but I did see a few requests for such functionality. I bumped around quite awhile today trying to figure out how to do it. I didn't come up with a good way, but I did find something that works. So, although it's terribly ugly, I thought I'd throw my example out. Perhaps it'll save someone else some time. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('name', 'k.laird.1')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('password', '5678')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('confirm', '5678')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('roles', ['CRUP_admin'])"> <dtml-call "acl_users.manage_users('Change', REQUEST, RESPONSE)"> --kyler

Problem installing zope products
by Darrin Nova 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

Hello, I am having problems installing zope products (*.zexp files) using the import function. I have tried several products including TimeTracker-0.0.3.zexp, EvTracker.zexp, ZPhotoAlbum-1.0.zexp and others. I get the same error when trying to install these three. For example with Time Tracker I get... The object TimeTracker does not support this operation Traceback (innermost last): File /opt/zope/Zope-2.2.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /opt/zope/Zope-2.2.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /opt/zope/Zope-2.2.4-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /opt/zope/Zope-2.2.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /opt/zope/Zope-2.2.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_importObject) File /opt/zope/Zope-2.2.4-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_importObject) File /opt/zope/Zope-2.2.4-src/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 537, in manage_importObject (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /opt/zope/Zope-2.2.4-src/lib/python/OFS/CopySupport.py, line 406, in _verifyObjectPaste (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) Copy Error: (see above) I am running zope 2.2.4 on Debian Linux (Potato). I installed this from source instead of from the .deb in the /opt/zope/Zope-2.2.4-src/ directory as you can see from the error mesages. I can't understand why these errors occur. The scripts under zope are all owned by the user nobody. Some help or guidance would be greatly appreciated since these products seem quite powerfull and usefull. Thanks. Darrin

CZAN Anyone?
by Jonathan (ListServ Account) 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

Hi all, Does anyone have any plans for CPAN like functionality for Zope? I'd just love to install new products, update products already installed, get notified when I need a Hotfix etc. The product listing at Zope.org is getting longer all the time and I am having a hard time keeping up to date... Just a thought. Probably been thought of before :) Cya Jonathan

Selection and Lines Properties for DTML Docs
by Steve McMahon 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

I'm new to Zope and am interested in the use of document properties for separating content and design in documents (i.e., using <dtml-var prop_name> in the "edit" tab to insert properties defined on the "properties" tab>. I've had success with simple text properties and would like to be able to present the user with selection properties (choice 1, choice 2, ...). That works well when I first define a "lines" property, then a "selection" property. But, what I'd really like to do is hide the lines property from the user. I've tried putting a lines property in another document, then setting the selection value to 'source_doc.lines_prop'. That yields an error "No select variable source_doc.lines_prop." Any ideas on the right way to do this? Please feel free to point me to good documentation! _________________________________________ Steve McMahon, SunType Publishing Systems steve(a)suntype.com voice & fax: (530) 757-7682 http://www.suntype.com

Zope vs. Enhydra
by corey＠axcelerant.com 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

I know, I know -- total flame bait... But really, has anyone had any experience with the *other* open source Web Application Server, Enhydra? I just "discovered" it the other day while writing an introduction to Zope for my co-workers, as we're about to embark on a serious new development project. At any rate, after already being *highly* impressed and sold on Zope - I ended up spending a little time at www.enhydra.org and became more and more enthused. I'm currently downloading it to give it a fair chance - but I was wondering if anyone else here has happened to have already given it a review, and if so, could you relay some of your findings/opinions? I've yet to stumble across any mention of Enhydra in any of the Zope documentation/introductory material or even yet on this list. I'd be interested in hearing any testimonials from Zopistas. Thanks for any input! Beers, Corey

Can't import objects ... is transparent folder still the reason ?
by Didier Georgieff 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

I have a problem importing objects (Yihaw Folder derived from Object Manager) on 2.2.4 and Transparent Folder (see traceback at the end). Some months ago i had some similar problem with the first/removed Transparent Folder version. Is this same problem still there on Transparent Folder 0.3, or do i have to search the problem elsewhere for a workaround ? Any idea about a temporary workaround for importing such objects ? Because it will be quite difficult to transfer things from developpement server to production server. This is what Shane respond to this earlier problem. I was not able to see if TP0.3 is now ObjectManager safe or not. > The TransparentFolders product patches ObjectManager so that objects > in transparent folders are searched. Unfortunately, the patch causes > the pickling mechanism to fail when ZODB pickles a class definition > derived from ObjectManager. > The > reason it fails is because the pickler doesn't recognize the new > __getattr__ method as a Python Method and tries to pickle it, which is > not possible.

Something missing in Python Methods
by Curtis Maloney 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

Greetings Yeh, yeh.. I know.. I should be using Python Scripts, or whatever... but for various reasons, I'm still using 2.1.6... What I want to know is, why can't Python Methods refer to anything not explicitly passed to them? I don't want to have to make everything that invokes the method have to know to pass it half a dozen objects. Isn't the idea of a method to be executed in the namespace of it's parent? I want my method to be able to access objects in it's own folder... What am I missing? Curtis
