I do not understand what you say here.

First question: Why do you want to do this? I would instead check, whether I was entitled to do some operation. This could use: <dtml-if "_.SecurityCheckPermission(_,<permission>,<object>)"> ... Second question: Did you look at the embedded Zope help -> API Reference -> Authenticated User You will find there a method "hasRole". > (3) (Not just) For a kind of skin technology I need parameters that > are user specific (REQUEST variables)... to set and analyse them may be > no problem - but how can include new parameters to the old URL without > deleting the old parameters? What I need is a way to add parameters to > the REQUEST environment... The REQUEST environment and the URL are quite different things. To extend the request environment: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set(<key>,<value>)"> To extend the URL (provide you know, it has already parameters): &dtml.-URL;&<name>=<dtml-var "<value>" url_quote_plus> Maybe URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html would be good reading for you.

As you are in a Python product and not hampered by (sometimes stupid) Zope security restrictions, there probably is nothing simpler than: l= filter(None,l) This removes any false element, empty elements in your case.

Python does not impose a serious limit (independent on the word size). If the C library and the underlying operating system can handle files larger than 2 GB, then Python can do, too. If you upgrade your C library for large file support, you may need to reconfigure and regenerate Python as the file access interfaces are not binary compatible. Dieter

HTML forms: how to get the value of an unchecked checkbox?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 09 May '01

09 May '01

I made many HTML forms with Zope but now, I need checkboxes. If I try: <FORM action="handleForm"> <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="sugar" CHECKED>Sugar?  <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="milk">Milk?<BR> <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Order"> </FORM> The Python Script handleForm cannot run if Milk is unchecked. This is because HTML browsers only send the value of the checkbox if it is checked. The URL sent looks like: http://progress.netaktiv.com:9673/Tests/handleForm?sugar=on&submit=Order (do note there is no Milk) and the error message is: --------- Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. Invalid request The parameter, milk, was omitted from the request. Make sure to specify all required parameters, and try the request again. --------- Of course, milk is in the parameters of the Python Script, but how can I say that it is optional and should default to false? Using "milk:boolean" as its name changes nothing. Zope 2.3.2 (source release, python 1.5.2, linux2)

Jason, don't you have any DNS problem ? My mail server can't resolve your domain yet...

I don't use any particular setup, just plain old Zope compiled from source, on localhost:8080, tested both as anonymous and admin works fine here. PS: did the 0.6beta1 I've posted this morning solve the problem ? bye, Jerome Alet # to test jaxml in Zope import jaxml def testjaxml(self) : x = jaxml.HTML_document() if hasattr(self, "standard_html_header") : x._text("%s" % self.standard_html_header(self, self.REQUEST)) else : x.default_headers(title = "jaxml module test page") x.body(bgcolor="red") x.h3("This is a test page for the jaxml module version %s" % jaxml.__version__) x.a("Download", href="http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/jaxml/") x._text("the jaxml module") if hasattr(self, "standard_html_footer") : x._text("%s" % self.standard_html_footer(self, self.REQUEST)) return str(x)

kvm

hello again! i hope this time my simple post will NOT cause any misunderstandings. do any of you know of a good place to buy a 6-port kvm? you see i need it for: 4 servers and 1 load balancer - 5 last for the keyboard, monitor, mouse - 1 is my port counting correct? i've been seeing a 4-port kvm -- it connects 4 computers to 1 keyboard, monitor, and mouse. and since i doubt if there is a 5-port kvm, i'll settle for 6-ports. :) i'm here in the philippines. i hope you can help me here locally. it's also okay if US. my boss will be going to the US in the next month and she volunteered to get any deliveries for me. hehe. again, thank you to all those who have advised me about secure remote logging. i will take into account what you have said.
