Create user
by Gitte Wange 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

Hello, A couple of days ago there was a posting on this list regarding creating new users with a form "outside" of Zope - directly from a website. I didn't see any replys to this post. I want to be able to so the same thing but are not sure how. Any how-to's on this subject? -- ************************ Gitte Wange Jensen System Squid Developer MMManager Aps +45 29 72 79 72 gitte(a)mmmanager.org ************************

RE: [Zope] Virtual Hosting configuration for Zope
by Capesius, Alan 05 Apr '01

Yes, the point would be to be able to do this with ZServer and not Apache. Lacking an Apache server, and wanting to dump IIS, I opted for a ZServer only solution.

Bookmark manager protype
by Chris Gray 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

I've got a proof-of-concept prototype of a bookmark manager up and running and if anyone is interested I'd like people to try it out and give me some feedback. The idea was to allow creation of a Web-accessible set of bookmarks as easily as creation of bookmarks local to a browser without having to fill out forms. It came out of frustration from trying to keep track of bookmarks in multiple browsers on multiple computers at multiple locations. I wanted it all to work on the Web and not depend on locally installed software so I could even get to my bookmarks when visiting a friend or at a public access machine. I've done it by having Zope act in effect like a proxy browser or a Browser-in-a-Browser. You browse the web in the main frame of a page and the upper frame has a form to enter a new address and links to create or view bookmarks. The main problem is that heavily scripted pages often don't work in the proxy browser, so I've provided a means at any step of the way to escape the proxy browser to look at the page directly. If you're interested, you can see the prototype at: http://cpgray.lib.uwaterloo.ca:8180/noddies/bookmarkerExperiment/browserFra… One 'feature' I have noticed is that it doesn't seem to like URLs consisting of a domain only (e.g. http://www.zope.org/ vs. http://www.zope.org/index_html) Cheers, Chris

UserInfoFolder - bug? I think yes
by Danny William Adair 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

I installed UserInfoFolder and instantiated it in the following structure: mySite ------- test (DTML document) - ---- protected (Folder) ------- acl_users (User Folder) - ---- guestbooks (UserInfoFolder) Upon creation, I told the UserInfoFolder "guestbooks" to hold a Class "Gb" of the Product "SimpleGb". As soon as I add a user "test" to the user folder, "guestbooks" will not hold a new "Gb" instance named "test", but all of a sudden hold - or "show" - (a copy of) my DTML document "test", from the folder above. (same problems with other ZClasses than "Gb") So I took a look at UserInfoFolder.py... UserInfoFolder.py: --------------------------------------------------------------------- class UserInfoFolder(ObjectManager,PropertyManager,Item,RoleManager): [...] def _getOb(self, id, default=''): if not hasattr(self, id): product=self.manage_addProduct[self.productName] zclass=eval('product.'+self.className) obj=apply(zclass,[]) obj._setId(id) self._setObject(id,obj,set_owner=0) return obj return getattr(self, id) [...] --------------------------------------------------------------------- I translate the main part to: "As soon as someone accesses an object with the id 'id' within you, look if you 'have it'. If yes, return that object, if no, add an instance of the specified class." Well, hasattr() is true, even if some object with the id 'id' has been _aquired_, right? Just has to be in the namespace, right? Is it correct that there is something like 'aq_explicit' missing here? And where? I think this is an easy one, but I'm afraid to break something, mommy... thank you in advance, Danny

FW: [Zope] Zope Time Problem
by Mohan Baro 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

I give up. Here is what I have done to fix the problem for now. I have used <dtml-var "ZopeTime().toZone('GMT-5').strftime('%H:%M')"> Instead of <dtml-var "ZopeTime().toZone('Jamaica').strftime('%H:%M')"> I feel that Zope's DateTimeZone.py might have 'Jamaica' in the wrong time zone or daylight saving ???

You might check /lib/python/DateTime/DateTime.py The TZ, cdt was set to GMT-2 and when we went to DST in the US/Central TZ many of us lost a couple of hours. <s> Maybe that was 'supposed' to be another TZ???

Searching a FieldIndex for prefix or OR
by Randall F. Kern 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

Is it possible to search a catalog on a field index for either a given prefix, or any of a list of values? Maybe I'm going about this wrong; I want to add the ability to only show objects found below a specific place on my site, and to do that I created a field index on the path to each object. Then at query time I would like to search for /foo/bar/*, or failing that create a list of all paths below /foo/bar and create an OR query. The solution I'm using now is to post-process the search results, but that seems lame :) Thanks, -Randy

RE: [Zope] Apache SubFolder to Zope root folder using VirtualHostMonster
by Lars Holmstrom 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

I'm using the Zope 2.3.0 RPM and SiteAccess-2-0-0 (the version string in the control panel). Is there a way to get a more fine grained version number? I see that there are 4 betas out there. Also, when was this functionality added?

Surprises with dtml-in and dtml-with
by Shai Berger 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

Hi Guys, I found a very peculiar behvaior in the interaction between dtml-with and dtml-in. I have two queries, QueryA and QueryB, which have common columns. I have a method Method1 in Folder1, which does <dtml-in QueryA> <dtml-with Folder2> <dtml-call Method2> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> And Method2 in Folder2, which does <dtml-with Folder1> <dtml-in QueryB> <dtml-with Folder3> ...access common fields... </dtml-with> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> (QueryA and QueryB are in fact two invocations of the same ZSQL method, defined in Folder1, with diferrent arguments. It is a complex queries, and with different arguments it returns different columns). Now, to my surprise, it turns out that when common fields are accessed as shown above, QueryA takes precedence. To my even greater surprise, it turns out that the quack-medicine of interchanging the dtml-with and dtml-in in Method2, i.e. making it read <dtml-with Folder1> <dtml-with Folder3> <dtml-in QueryB> ...access common fields... </dtml-in> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> Restores predicted behavior (i.e. QueryB results take precedence). Has anyone seen behavior like this? Can anyone explain it? Thanks, Shai.

Re: [Zope] Get Column Names from SQL Query?

In other > words, I don't want to hand-code them into the result page. The "Shared.DC.ZRDB.Results.Results" objects, i.e. the objects returned by Z SQL Methods, have a method for this. I think it is "names". Either search the mailing list archives or look into the sources. Dieter

Probably, but it's been quite a while since I used DreamWeaver. Probably one of the Site Options, something about not creating notes on the site, IIRC Might be worth mailing the zope list and asking if something funky coudl be done to let these dirs be created... ...in fact, I'll CC this to there :-) cheers, Chris
