RE: STX... was: RE: [Zope] General Publishing Question

My ignorance here shows, but I guess I just wonder if there was a way to programatically determine if a doc was STX or something else; I mean, I suppose you could write an external method that uses a regex to search/match the body text for the characteristic of stx, but I wish there was something as easy as: <dtml-in expr="objectValues('some meta_type')"> <dtml-var expr="_[id](_.None, _)" fmt=strucutred-text> </dtml-in> ... to iteracte through stx docs, but since there is no meta_type...

Zope InvalidObjectReference
by kosh 12 Jul '01

12 Jul '01

I am getting a very strange error from one user with any webbrowser that they try to use. On adding/modifying one of my objects they get this error with this traceback. Traceback (innermost last): File /home/zope/Zope-2.3.3-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /home/zope/Zope-2.3.3-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /home/zope/Zope-2.3.3-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook File /home/zope/Zope-2.3.3-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 175, in publish File /home/zope/Zope-2.3.3-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 235, in commit File /home/zope/Zope-2.3.3-src/lib/python/ZODB/Transaction.py, line 300, in commit File /home/zope/Zope-2.3.3-src/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py, line 375, in commit (Info: (('Products.CompoundDoc.inputtext', 'InputText'), '\000\000\000\000\000\000qM', '')) InvalidObjectReference: Attempt to store an object from a foreign database connection The object it is referring to is one of my objects however the problem is that no line of my code is referenced and I am not sure where to even begin looking. To add more confusion to the situation I have used the exact same versions of the webbrowsers that they are using with and without a squid proxy cache and I can't duplicate that behavior. Actually in about 30 people using the site no one can get that behavior. However, once he causes that error to occur all objects of that type act that way until I hit refresh on the products entry in the control panel page. The problem ends up being is that it goes away for everyone till he tries to use it again. I was wondering if anyong has some ideas, wild guesses etc on where to even look to try and figure out what is going wrong. I would like to give a much more detailed error description but so far I am at a loss since any changes I make to the code reload it and the problem goes away until he uses it again.

Can't get dtml-in to work!
by lvw＠lfpt.rwth-aachen.de 12 Jul '01

12 Jul '01

Hi, this must be a very dumb question, but I can't find the mistake. Anyone seeing why the the following DTML does not work? It does not print anything besides 'Hello', though I created several folders in the one where the document below resides. Choosing different meta types doesn't help either... <dtml-var standard_html_header> <h2><dtml-var title_or_id></h2> <p> Hello <dtml-in expr="objectValues('Folder')"> Out there ! <dtml-var sequence-length> <dtml-var getId> </dtml-in> </p> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Anyone knows help? Regards, Lars

authentication probelm (take two)

sorry... i accidentally terminated the email message. so, again: i have a python product which inhertis from ObjectManager. i programmatically create instances of this product within itself as they are requested by the user. the problem is that i am getting an 'unauthorized' exception when i try to access index_html of the programmatically created objects. the really odd thing is that it only happens SOMETIMES. i get this: Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. Unauthorized Sorry, a site error occurred. Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/src/Zope-2.3.3-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module . . .

Re: Re: [Zope] Python external method caching...
by Nicolas Villetard 12 Jul '01

12 Jul '01

OK sorry so here is a non-HTML version of my previous mail : sent on 11/07 : "I'm still a beginner with zope and although I read lots of FAQ about Zope, I didn't find a solution to my problem : I use Zope-2.4.0 beta version (because I need Python 2.1) and I can't find how to associate a python external method with an "accelerated HTTP cache manager". When I try to associate files to this cache, it answers "Only those objects for which you have the "Change cache settings" permission are shown. " and I didn't find "change cache settings" parameter in external methods security section... (it runs well with DTML documents but I can't with external methods...) Could someone explain me how to resolve this problem ?" ____________________________________________________________________ - http://www.WebMailSPro.com - >> VOTRE service d'email sans pub avec VOTRE nom de domaine

Multiple foreign languages
by Roberto Congiu 12 Jul '01

12 Jul '01

Hi! I am a Zope newbie, and I am considering employing Zope for a variety of projects in my company. One reqirement we have is support for multiple foreign languages. Does Zope have any tool to do that, mantaining different languages in a centralized string resource DB (Lexicon), and possibly supporting inflections, counting (ex. 1 directory, 2 directories) and so on ? I read most of the document but I couldn't find anything about it. Thanks! Roberto -- ----------------------------------------------------- "Se ti do uno schiaffo, porgi l'altra guancia.

Advice on LoginManager, exUserFolder et al
by Richard Barrett 12 Jul '01

12 Jul '01

Hello I would appreciate some advice on the topic of User Folder options for Zope server systems. The concurrent support for multiple authentication sources of LoginManager <http://www.zope.org/Members/tsarna/LoginManager> fits my problem well. But the latest version I can find is LoginManager 0.8.8b1(Stable) of 2000/10/18. It isn't clear to me that this Product is either complete or under active development. Any comment on its status? Also any comments on LoginManager's dependence on ZPatterns and the status of that development? On the other hand, getting exUserFolder <http://www.zope.org/Members/TheJester/exUserFolder> to work with either of my current user sources at a basic level has been easy. However, exUserFolder doesn't claim to support concurrent user sources which is what I need. Should I be considering any other User Folder substitutes that offer the chance to have multiple authentication sources such as NIS, /etc/passwd type files, LDAP, ... ? thanks for your attention Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------ Software engineeeeeeer: someone who knits a parachute on the way down. ------------------------------------------------------------------
