Zope's startup script sometimes defines "PYTHONHOME". The result could be that Zope looks at a different place for "site-packages" than you expect. Dieter

login, permission and REQUEST env
by Stefan Berthold 08 May '01

08 May '01

Hi! I'm trying to manage a school-paper homepage with zope... during the last two weeks I got several problems that I couldn't solve with zope book and other documentation... hope there's somebody who have some answers: (1) For article management I need to login some users but this (let's call them) editors don't need the permission to view management screens (they will use html-formulars to manage their articles)... till now I couldn't find a way to login users without this permission (e.g. through a regular html-form and a dtml method). (2) Owners of dtml documents usually have the permission to change and delete their documents... but how can I discover if somebody have this (implicitly) given Owner role? (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... If there are some hints in the official documentation I would be very interested in... otherwise I hope somebody can help with some smart examples or a hint. -- Stefan Berthold <dingx(a)web.de> Zivilist in Lauerstellung GnuPG: 4222 F68D E39F FE43 423A 5624 3A3D F1D7 4EF0 C45A FAX/VoiceBox: +49 180 50529 6341739

I think could write a python script (or dtml-method) which recurses through the subfolder and searches for ZSQL-methods. If it finds one it calls manage_edit(self, title, connection_id, arguments, template) with the right arguments. from zope 2.3.2's help: manage_edit(self, title, connection_id, arguments, template) Change database method properties. The connection_id argument is the id of a database connection that resides in the current folder or in a folder above the current folder. The database should understand SQL. The arguments argument is a string containing an arguments specification, as would be given in the SQL method cration form. The template argument is a string containing the source for the SQL Template. cheers, oliver

Re: [Zope] Authentication for outside users

See > http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/Security.dtml -- particularly > the parts right after Figure 6-1. Do you mean by anonymous user - role Anonymous, ie no roles? So when IP address is "inside" then user gets Anonyomus role otherwise user must have role? Idea is good but then I must give access for Anonymous which means everybody has access. Which means no IP blocking is done and I'm back where I started from... :( So I thought make two users - "insider" and "outsider" and give "Guest" role. Outsider has password and insider has not. Gave correct domains. And I removed all anonymous access. Still login is required from both. They don't get automatically that role like book says. Sven

CMFOptions 1.0 with Blark Weblog
by Jeff Sasmor 08 May '01

08 May '01

CMFOptions 1.0 has been released. It includes minor updates to the CMFExtFile and CMFExtImage content types, as well as a new content type called Blark. Blark is a weblog, similar in concept to Squishdot (and it looks a bit like it) but tailored for the CMF. It's not a CMF 'skin', but rather a CMF content object that is instantiated in a Member directory (it can even be the index_html for the member). Blark has been beta tested at http://www.yellowbrain.com/ (where you can try it out as long as that web site remains active) but probably still has a few nits in it. You can read more at: http://www.zope.org/Members/jeffsasmor/CMFOptions/ Enjoy! (sorry for crossposting, but the last time I posted only to zope-announce folks complained. Go figure. ) Jeff Sasmor jeff(a)sasmor.com Check out http://www.naggle.com/

RE: [Zope] zeo database

I don't think this is the case by default; the 2gb limit is a pre-existing limitation in ext2, which is the default filesystem in Linux 2.4. Not until Linux 2.4.1 did an alternate filesystem add features to remove this barrier (ReiserFS), and it is not the default. In addition to ReiserFS, SGI's XFS and IBM's AFS seem to address large file support and are all avilable as patches to the mainstream kernel. However, doesn't Python impose some sort of limit as well? Anyone have a number? Does this depend on the architecture of the machine (i.e. 64 vs. 32 bit)?

Changing of the SQL guard
by Paul Zwarts 08 May '01

08 May '01

Greets all, I have installed a newer version of postgres on my linux box, along with the newer PoPy adapter and I have done some work in splitting out tables to separate dbs... The problem I'm faced with is that I have to reidentify all of the connections that each ZSQL method addresses to the adapter. Instead of manually changing each one (which are too many to count), is there a way I can do them all at once? The second db I use is very isolated so if I could just tell an entire tree to goto on db connection, that would be nice... I even tried using the same object name, but Im sure there is more hidden stuff behind its ID that this doesnt work... Can anyone help me please? TIA, Paz

Tim Hicks writes: > ... problem with "PropertySheet.getPropertyType" ... This might be a bug. I looked in the code at "OFS.PropertySheets". "getPropertyType" is very differently implemented than "hasProperty". "getPropertyType" looks at "self.p_self()._properties" while "hasProperty" looks at "self._propertyMap". This is very suspicious. At your place, I would make "getPropertyType" similar to "hasProperty" and if that gives you the correct result, file a bug report into the collector. Dieter

Setting SELECTED in select box
by Gitte Wange 08 May '01

08 May '01

Hello, I have run into this weird problem: I am trying to set an option in a select box SELECTED in the id of the option is the same as the value of the select box. The code looks like this: <SELECT NAME="fileid" SIZE="1"> <OPTION VALUE="0">-- Select mediafile --</OPTION> <dtml-in sqlGetMediafiles> <dtml-if fileid> <dtml-if expr="fileid == id"> <OPTION VALUE="<dtml-var id>" SELECTED><dtml-var filename></OPTION> <dtml-else> <OPTION VALUE="<dtml-var id>"><dtml-var filename></OPTION> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> <OPTION VALUE="<dtml-var id>"><dtml-var filename></OPTION> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </SELECT> Now when I have selected a file, I can see that the fileid variable is set. Well then the select box should select the file that has that id right? But it doesn't - it doesn't select anything. Can anyone help me?
