Thanks Fred, On passing 'request' (why the extra argument anyway?) I got Error Type: TypeError Error Value: not enough arguments; expected 3, got 2 so I'm wondering have you got LoginManager to work on the Zope 2.3.0 release? >>On Wed, Jan 31, 2001 at 09:25:08AM +1300, W.

detecting if an object exists in a folder
by Joh Johannsen 01 Feb '01

What is the easy way to check if an object exists in a folder? I have a folder "testfolder" containing a single image "fff". The following DTML finds it (though I'm sure there are easier ways): <dtml-in expr="PARENTS[0].testfolder.objectValues(['Image'])"> got image '<dtml-var id>' <dtml-if expr="id=='fff'"> T1: got string <dtml-else> T1: did not see: '<dtml-var id>' </dtml-if> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('xid', _.str(id))"> <dtml-if expr="xid=='fff'"> T2: got string <dtml-else> T2: did not see: '<dtml-var id>' </dtml-if> </dtml-in> but the problem is -- both the comparisons above fail. The output on the page as I see it from my browser: got image 'fff' T1: did not see: 'fff' T2: did not see: 'fff' So how can I tell if an image of a particular name exists in a folder? The string comparison fails because whatever it is, "id" is not a string, and cannot be converted to a string, even though it really looks like some (top secret zope) code is having no problem doing such a conversion. In any case, all I'm really trying to do is to make a DTML method that will tell me if an image object of a particular name exists in a folder. Any suggestions? Thank you, JJ

SiteRoot help
by peter bengtson 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

There should be a book written about Siteaccess/SiteRoot/Access Rules and Proxing Apache, but right now I'm just going to have to ask the community. This is how the URL can look like before and SiteRoots are set at all. Ex. (domain 0) http://www.localserver.com:8080/projects/myfriends/peter/familyphotos Now with a SiteRoot that "replaces" http://www.localserver.com:8080/projects Ex. (domain 1) http://www.manage-your-friend-account.com/peter/familyphotos And also a SiteRoot that "replaces" http://www.localserver.com:8080/projects/peter Ex. (domain 2) http://www.peterthefriend.com/familyphotos Do you see the difference between domain 1 and domain 2 ?? Only one folder down, then there's a new SiteRoot. Now to the problem. For Peter to go to his "manage-your-friend-account.com site", he bookmarks http://www.manage-your-friend-account.com/peter/ But when he goes to that URL, the first folder he bumps into is a folder that has a SiteRoot already!! Crash!! This causes the bookmarked URL to change to the one he crashes in to. I don't want that! I want to be able to fly into a folder that has a SiteRoot in it, but not to have the SiteRoot there affect the URL I'm coming in with. How is this possible?? Any nifty workaround hack is welcomed. In site/domain/proxy confusion. Peter
