[ANN] LDAPLoginAdapter 1.0beta2 released
by Jens Vagelpohl 03 Mar '01

03 Mar '01

The second LDAPLoginAdapter beta, a user folder replacement that authenticates against an LDAP server, has been released. Improvements and bugfixes include: * Refactoring of all LDAP-connection-related code with the advantage of clearer error messages and fewer lines of code. Any inabilities to communicate with the LDAP server are caught right away when the server information is edited in the management screens. * Addition of API documentation accessible through the Zope Help system After bug reports from people who tried to use the LDAPLoginAdapter on pre-2.3.0-versions of Zope the documentation makes it clearer that 2.3.0 or higher is needed to use this product. Some of its features are: * Freely select the LDAP attribute to be used as the user name * Look up user records using the built-in search interface * Written on and for Zope 2.3.0, including the new management interface and copious documentation through the Zope Help System * ...and more You can view some of the documentation and download the software at http://www.dataflake.org/software/ldaploginadapter. A Tracker at that same address allows you to easily file bug reports or feature requests for this product. jens

Promplems with TinyTablePlus
by Bodo Bauer 03 Mar '01

03 Mar '01

Hi, I try to use TiniyTablePlus in my product, however I can't create a TinyTable as subobject in any of my classes. Whenever I try to create an instance of a TinyTablePlus, either from a DTML method, or manually in the manage screens, the created table ends up being in the first folder (counting from innermost upwards) that is not an instance from a Zclass I created, but a regular folder. All my Zclasses are derived from ZObjectManager, so it should work, right? Im using Zope 2.3.1b1, Pyhton 1.5.2 and TinyTablePlus-0-9. Am I doing anything wrong, or is this a bug in Zope/TinyTablePlus? BB -- Bodo Bauer bb(a)bb-zone.com PGP Available http://bb-zone.com C8 1A 71 72 15 21 E2 EF 98 DF EF CF 17 8A DF 48 3C 10 FA 3A

As a special to this announcement, the first 5 people who email me saying that they are interested in the book will be sent a free copy when it publishes. In addition, if you're in some way affiliated with a website, company, or other source that could help generate publicity about their book and Zope in general, please let me know as I'd like to follow up with you on co-promotional opportunities.

Zope is great!
by Adam Getchell 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

Hello all, I've been buried in reading and playing with Zope, which is much cooler than our previous Delphi/IIS incarnation. Before I dive back in, I wanted to thank everyone for the great advice on what to do and where to look. In 2 days I've gotten more functionality than our previous effort after 6 months of development. Thanks again, *************************** * Adam Getchell AdamG(a)hrrm.ucdavis.edu * System Administrator (530) 752-1584 * Human Resources Information Systems http://hr.ucdavis.edu/ *************************** "Invincibility is in oneself, vulnerability in the opponent." -- Sun Tzu

RE: [Zope] Bad Request

Daniel, I doubt that many on this list (myself included) have a version of Zope old enough to help you troubleshoot this. Since there have been many changes and (especially) bugfixes, you may consider upgrading. It sounds like a Zope bug that has likely been squished since 2.0.1 Troy -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Rusch [mailto:drusch@globalcrossing.com] Sent: Friday, March 02, 2001 4:25 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Bad Request Help, We have a page that submits a numeric code.

There is the "branches_expr" attribute to "dtml-tree". You can use it like this: <dtml-tree ... branches_expr="yourDTMLmethod(_vars.None,_vars)"> .... </dtml-tree> > Or do I necessarily have to use Python?

Re: [Zope] *not newbie* How do you interact with your RDMS?

One colleague of mine uses DTML, because of the TTW editing capabilities. Another used External Methods (in the time, as PythonScript has not yet been around), because they allow to express complex generation rules more clearly. Dieter
