prevent direct (only) access from url
by Lukas Maag 14 May '01

14 May '01

is there a way to prevent direct (only) access from url to a document as an anonymous user on a zope site. my problem is, that i have the users stored in database and a cookie based access control. for this reason it would very helpful to me to have docs that can only called from other docs, but not from the url (browser) maybe there is another solution for this problem... thanx

Strange ODB/folder problem
by Scott 14 May '01

14 May '01

I have about 300 folder objects in my ODB. Running 2.1.6 on Linux. One (and maybe more) of the folders are not accessable by top-level admin or manager. And by not accessable I mean, I can't go into it, if I try to read its object values I am prompted to login and I get an unauthorized error. If I try to delete it I get the following error and traceback: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: attribute-less object (assign or del) TraceBack: Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.6-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 165, in publish File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.6-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_delObjects) File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.6-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: manage_delObjects) File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.6-src/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 401, in manage_delObjects (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.6-src/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 273, in _delObject (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.6-src/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 268, in manage_beforeDelete (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.6-src/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 268, in manage_beforeDelete (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.6-src/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 268, in manage_beforeDelete (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.6-src/lib/python/Products/ZDBase/ZDiscussions.py, line 195, in manage_beforeDelete (Object: 971638688) TypeError: attribute-less object (assign or del) Thanks!

External methods and DTML ?
by Gardner Pomper 14 May '01

14 May '01

Hi, I am using Zope to build a front end to a bunch of Unix processes. I need to use external methods to read/write files and kick off the jobs. In these external methods, I use DocumentTemplate.HTMLFile() to build the HTML forms for data entry. My problem is that I don't seem to be able to hook the DocumentTemplate.HTMLFile() to a DTML file created in Zope. Therefore I have to create the DTML files manually. This isn't too bad, but when I change the DTML files during development, Zope seems to have cached the old copy and I often end up having to kill off the Zope server and restart it just to try out the new version of the DTML file. This is annoying and time consuming. Is there some way to get the files reread each time? Failing that, is there a way for an external method to access a DTML file that Zope knows about (and will that help me with this refresh problem)? I am pretty new to Zope (a week or so). If there is an easier way to do all this, I would be happy to hear it. - Gardner

ok. when you try to view http://hostname:8080/ it raises an authentication box, right? What does it say if you click cancel? Is it: Unauthorized. You are not authorized to access this resource. If yes, then you've got me stumped. If not, I might still have a clue. -----Original Message----- From: Rahsheen Porter [mailto:cipher_atl@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 3:12 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: RE: [Zope] In Ref to: Permissions Problem Yeah, I've murdered IE 5.0 several times. I'll try an upgrade and see if that helps. I was beginning to think that was the problem. One thing I don't understand is how can I be authenticated just fine to manage the resources, but not the View them. If I'm not visiting a management resource, why in the world would there need to be any authentication? Especially if a folder doesn't even contain an acl_users folder. --- "Farrell, Troy" <troy.farrell(a)wcg.com> wrote: > Have you closed and reopened your browser?

Julian Date
by matt standish 14 May '01

14 May '01

Has anyone out there ever been able to work with Julian dates with ZOPE? If you are unfamiliar with a Julian date it is the year followed by the number of day. example: today is 01134 day. 01 is the year, today is the 134th day of the year. Thanks.

RE: [Zope] Trailing 'L' after number values
by Eric Walstad 14 May '01

14 May '01

Hi Neil, I handle your problem like this in my MySQL queries: SELECT CONV(MONTH(Birthday), 10, 10) AS BirthMonth ...yaddayaddayadda The CONV function "Returns a string representation of the number N, converted from base from_base to base to_base." So in my case, MONTH was returning a Long data type which was displaying the 'L' in my query results. I use CONV to convert the Long in base 10 to a *String* representation of the number in base ten. It's kind of a lame fix, but it works! There's a really cool searchable help system for MySQL at: http://www.mysql.com/php/manual.php3 Hope that helps!

Give Anon permission to "Access Contents Information". That should fix it. -----Original Message----- From: Rahsheen Porter [mailto:cipher_atl@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 2:21 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: RE: [Zope] In Ref to: Permissions Problem --- "Farrell, Troy" <troy.farrell(a)wcg.com> wrote: > Well, Rahsheen, what did you do to bring zope to > this state?

I was running behind Apache, but got rid of that so clear things up a little. There is a Zope root acl_users with 2 manager accounts. The root folder is set up for the Manager to do everything, Anonymous can only view things, and Owner does nothing. I can do anything I want to the site except View the content. It prompts for a password, but will always deny access no matter what account I use. Anon access no longer exists... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Unique ids for each object
by Andy McKay 14 May '01

14 May '01

Alright so for my latest project Im thinking I need to implement a unique number on each Zope object that obeys certain rules. For example increments on an edit, doesnt on an import etc. Anyone tried that or can give me a clue where to stick it in? Somewhere in or just above the ZODB would be ideal... Cheers. -- Andy McKay.
