CatalogAware & Catalog.
by Pattreeya Tanisaro 23 Mar '01

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to update "only" the new document instead of update the whole or update only specific type of object. I have tried with CatalogAware (i select CatalogAware as the base-class when I create a new type of Zclass.) but I still cannot keep track new document of that document type. I have to update my catalog manually every time I add the new document. From Zope Book about catagolizing content, it should work out but it didn't. I guess I did something wrong. When I add the new document, how the Catalogaware work? Besides, I wonder if we can set the timer (maybe from the machine or system) for updating catalog automatically? Thank you in advance for any answer. pattreeya.

can't install PoPy
by Damir Bartakovic 23 Mar '01

on RedHat 7.0 Postgres 7.0.2 in /usr/postgres (from the source .gz) Zope 2.3.0 in /home/zope (from the source .gz) when I run ./configure I get: checking for python... /usr/bin/python checking python version... 1.5 checking python installation prefix... /usr checking python installation exec_prefix... /usr checking definitions in Python library makefile... sed: can't read /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile: No such file or directory done checking for install... /usr/bin/install checking location of python library... $(prefix)/lib/python1.5/site-packages checking location of python shared modules... $(exec_prefix)/lib/python1.5/site-packages checking for PQconnectStart in -lpq... no configure: error: can't build without PostgreSQL libraries ./configure --with-python=/home/zope/bin/python --with-postgres-libraries=/u sr/postgres/lib --with-post gres-includes=/usr/postgres/include and some other combinations without effect. I am a bit confused, because I can't remember a problem on my previous installation on RedHat 6.2. Do I have to build the /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile somehow? why are the PostgreSQL Libraries not found? Any clues? Thanks in advance!

Newbie question: Properties
by Russell Hires 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

Hello all, I've been reading the zope docs, and done a tutorial or two, but I still don't know what exactly a property is. I'm used the concept of a propery like this: if I have a rock, the rock's properties are weight, color, size, density, etc... I've added properties, but that doesn't exactly explain what they are... Thanks for any explanation. Russell ____________________________________________________ _its_ (no apostrophe) means "the thing that it owns" _it's_ (with apostrophe) means "it is"

What's the best way to search a Zope site?
by Tony McDonald 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

Hi all, I guess the subject says it all, but I'd like some advice on how best to do the search thang. I've fiddled with Catalog in the past, but didn't really understand it. Most of our site is served from SQL databases, but we do have a considerable amount of content in DTML Methods and Documents on the site too. Our platform is Solaris, Zope 2.3.0-src and Python 1.5.2 TIA muchly, Tone. -- Dr Tony McDonald, Assistant Director, FMCC, http://www.fmcc.org.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 243 6140 A Zope list for UK HE/FE http://www.fmcc.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/zope

some confusion on ftp security.
by Patrick 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

I was just wondering if there is a separate config file for the Medusa FTP server because it alows anonymous logins even when I have used the zope management interface to create a user say fgh who has the rights that would usually be given to the anonymous group. I even defined a matching group fgh and removed all rights from the anonymous group. The advantage is that the user can not see list or download any files but I was just suggesting that the user does not get a login prompt at all in the first place incase this user manages to find some way of exploiting the system.... (or have I missed something) Thanks. Patrick

newbie can't log out of zope manager?
by Peter J. MASON 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

It's my turn to climb the zope learning curve so apologising if this is boring ... I'm on a redhat 6.2 linux platform and have installed apparently OK to to run with Apache. My browser pointed at http://localhost:8080/manage gets me to the management tabs, and I created a user, but when I choose to "logout" using the button at top right I get "Authorisation failure. Retry?" on the screen and an invitation to reenter the admin password. How do I deal with this problem? I found one of the site documents which referred to a file and dir permissions on a SuSe linux system and have tried to be guided by it, but certain files (like "access") do not exist on my installation, so I'm untrusting. Can someone help me out please? -- Peter J.

How do I force authentication?
by Jérôme Loisel 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

Hello! I am building a few Zope websites. These sites live as subfolders of my root zope install, in which I place common code. Those websites will be administered by non-technical people, so one of my main coding efforts is building alternate, easy-to-use admin screens. I have one snag now. I want a login page which has Zope authenticate visitors. I don't want to take them to the real admin screens, I just want to have Zope authenticate them. I initially did this by writing a simple DTML method, login.html, which is not viewable by anyone with a role other than anonymous. That worked fine for a while. That approach fails, however, when the user if defined in an acl_users folder which is lower in the object hierarchy than the login.html method. And that is the case for all my sub-site admins. I have gone around this so far by copying login.html to all subsites... But I am sure there is a better solution. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks for listening.
