You could also point them to this page - http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help/html-off.html - which has instructions on how to turn off HTML in various email programs! :-) Cheers, Jon ----------------------------------------------------------------- It is a bit impolite just drop messages from novice users. I'd recommens to send them polite reply with FAQ on our policies. procmail+formail are great to do this kind of job. Oleg.

Im trying to check that a user has permission to do something: user = self.REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] for p in ['Foo',]: print user.has_permission(p, parent) I get 1 for everything. Is has_permission the correct call? Cheers. -- Andy McKay.

[ANN] ZShell 0.9
by Jerome Alet 16 May '01

16 May '01

Hi, I'm pleased to announce you the very latest ZShell version: 0.9 ZShell is an external Zope method which allows you to manipulate the ZODB using standard unix shell's commands from within Zope's Management Interface in your web browser. It's a very powerful tool which can possibly destroy your ZODB's contents when not used correctly: You've been warned. You can download it from: http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/zshell/ New features: ============= - Commands grep, view, properties and manage added. WARNING: no security check is done on manage. - Command replace was deleted since grep can do replace. - Command google now opens a new window. - If javascript is not activated then new windows are not opened but the user can follow links to the results in commands: google, view, properties and manage. - Some minor fixes. - Code simplifications. - find was going one level too deep when --maxdepth was used. You'll probably find the new grep command useful, considering that it can search and also replace patterns in objects. You can use the full re module regexp possibilities, both for the search and replace patterns. Currently grep is able to replace in objects content for objects which are or inherits from: DTMLMethod, DTMLDocument, PythonScript, provided you've got sufficient permissions. But grep can also replace in any other object type properties with its --properties option, again, if your current priviledges allow that. the meaning of a matching pattern can be reversed using the --invert option: objects that doesn't contain the pattern match. finally, the grep command may be used recursively with its --recurse option. Feel free to send any comment, bug report, or wish to me. Thanks in advance. Jerome Alet - alet(a)unice.fr

1) Is there a cron-like tool in Zope? Or a way to have cron run a process in Zope? 2) Under Linux/Sendmail, can I have the above Zope process "receive" mail sent to a particular address? (Note that my ignorance of how mail works could fill volumes). Thanks...

RE: [Zope] packing a data.fs from outside zope?

How does that work with ZEO? If you were to pack the ZSS ODB on the ZSS box, do you have to shut down zope on the ZSS box? How do ZEO Clients react to this?

disappearing management tabs
by Arkaitz 16 May '01

16 May '01

Hi all, I've got a Python product class that has an "editData" that once changed the info in the class, has to return to the original form. I do it like this: if REQUEST is not None: return self.editForm (REQUEST, manage_tabs_message='data saved.') The problem is that when calling it this way, the editForm DTML method doesn't have the management tabs that are there when it's called directly. This dtml file has this at the beginning: <dtml-var manage_page_header> <dtml-var manage_tabs> All the <head>, css, etc. gets inserted fine, but there are no tabs. Any hint? TIA, arkaitz.

RE: [Zope] dd/mm/yyyy date into MySQL
by Capesius, Alan 16 May '01

Assuming its a string, I use this code to convert from yyyymmdd format to mm/dd/yy form. <dtml-let x="_.str(date)[4:6] + '/' + _.str(date)[6:8] + '/' + _.str(date)[2:4]"> <dtml-return x> </dtml-let > Use a similar technique of splitting and reassembling the string to go the other way Name: dateswap (untested) <dtml-let x="_.str(date)[6:10] + '/' + _.str(date)[0:5]> <dtml-return x> </dtml-let > Call this from your DTML with <dtml-var "dateswap(date=formdate)"> You should validate the date format from the form or catch conversion errors in case the user enters a bad format.
