Hello, I have just upgraded our Zope server from version 2.3.2 to version 2.4 Now ...

Adding a ZClass instance in python
by Gilles Lenfant 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hi, I've read this How-To http://www.zope.org/Members/tazzzzz/addZClasses But I'm deadly trying to do this in a python script (that's not a ZClass method and does not reside in a product), an not in an external method. I've deeply tried to find a way but did not succed. The creation of ZClass instances through ZMI works perfectly , through the usual MyProduct/MyZClass_addForm and MyZClass_add All I do is this (translation into python script of the DTML method from above mentioned URL): context.REQUEST.set('id', myNewId) context.manage_addProduct['MyProduct'].MyZClass_add(_.None, NoRedir=1) return 'Done' I got this... Error Type: NameError Error Value: MyZClass [VERY LONG TRACEBACK FINISHING WITH] (Object: MyZClass_add) File /usr/local/Zope-2.3.3-linux2-x86/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_With.py, line 138, in render (Object: MyZClass.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)) File /usr/local/Zope-2.3.3-linux2-x86/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 339, in eval (Object: MyZClass.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)) (Info: REQUEST) File <string>, line 0, in ? NameError: (see above) Does someone have an idea ? Many thanks in advance ! --Gilles

If yes, could you elaborate why it might not be capable to handle 10000 users with a sql-backend? Negative experience? I ask because I'm going to do a project which might involve also as many users. cheers, oliver

Re: [Zope] Fairly dumb SecurityCheckPermission question

I think SecurityCheckPermission won't want to be handed the return value (output) of your object editContact, just the object itself, thus it's clearly wrong to call it. Your confusion might come from the fact that "this" is indeed a method, which, when called, returns the object where "this" is called. cheers, oliver

Fw: [Zope] Drag and Drop in ZMI?
by Joachim Werner 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

> > Has anyone else tried this.. or can suggest which module I "HotPatch .. > MonkeyPatch .. > > DynamicPatch" to allow me to inject some HTML in ZMI folder pages? This one isn't really hard. I haven't done it myself, but other programs, e.g. "BSCW", use drag&drop via Javascript. You'd just have to beef up the DTML in "main.dtml" (lib/python/OFS/dtml/main.dtml) with some Javascript magic. Would you mind sending me a copy if you succeed? ;-) Joachim Here is an URL for the BSCW drag&drop uploader: http://bscw.gmd.de/DownloadGoodies.html#interface

DTML Confusion?
by John Ziniti 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hey all, Am i just missing something simple here? I want to keep certain DTML Methods in a common folder so they can be used from anywhere. I have: TestFolder index_html Util utility_function Now my confusion. Within TestFolder.index_html, I'd like to be able to: <dtml-var "Util.utility_function"> but this returns unrendered content of utility_function. I can <dtml-with Util><dtml-var utility_function></dtml-with> but I hate <dtml-with> ... and I can also <dtml-var "Util.utility_function(REQUEST=REQUEST)"> but that is also a little long-winded. Comments? Advice? Thanks ... -- John Ziniti Channing Laboratory Brigham and Women's Hospital 181 Longwood Avenue Brookline, MA 02115 john.ziniti(a)channing.harvard.edu

RE: [Zope] Netscape 4.7x Redirect problem
by Schmidt, Allen J. 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Welcome David! Looks we both work for the same employer...The State of Virginia. Are you using Zope down your way? With the PeopleSoft conversion coming along, I thought it would interesting to build out some sort of interface to it with Zope and/or Python. Anyone else on the list ever heard of such a thing being done? Or, on a far side note...Is there a 3270 Terminal interface for Python? That would be great! I have a Java Servlet connection now that uses a Java API. Might there be a way to tie it into Jython or something? Just curious...

I've run into something similar in a different context, which I documented here. http://instructionaltechnology.editthispage.com/discuss/msgReader$666 I'm hypothesizing that when the HTTP Header is something other than 200, and the end destination page is large, and the url has no file extension, Netscape 4.x chokes.

CMF metadata; CMF talkback; ownership
by hamish＠allan.tc 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

hello folks, i'm new to zope, and i've been trying to get up to speed with the CMF. i have a query about metadata (and some other more general queries below). when i create a CMF site and view it, i can use the portal controls to 'join' (create a user) and then, having authenticated myself as that user, create documents, news items, images etc. in my member area. when i do so i am invited to provide metadata. when i view the members folder through the zope interface, i can click on documents and news items to be presented with a 'dublin core' tab, through which i can examine the metadata for that item. however, images appear to be the same as 'standard' zope images, with no dublin core tab. but the metadata is somewhere! i can still view and edit it through the portal interface. so where is it stored?!?!?! also, images seem to make the talkback interface misbehave. consider the following setup: http://localhost:8080/cmftest/Members/hamish/index_html (document) http://localhost:8080/cmftest/Members/hamish/images (folder) http://localhost:8080/cmftest/Members/hamish/images/photo_of_me (image) i configure the system to allow talkback on documents and images, and then create some nested comments on index_html and photo_of_me. the link to the first talkback comment on index_html has the form: http://localhost:8080/cmftest/Members/hamish/index_html/talkback/999212237 and the plus next to it used to expand the tree has the form: http://localhost:8080/cmftest/Members/hamish/index_html?tree-c=eJyLVneEAq- sZFt1HQUEvyLUVj0WAIdvCFk#AAAAAAAAJxU= but wheras the link to the first talkback comment on photo_of_me has the same form: http://localhost:8080/cmftest/Members/hamish/images/photo_of_me/talkback/99… 04 its tree expansion link has the form: http://localhost:8080/cmftest/Members/hamish/images/photo_of_me/photo_of_me? tree-e=eJyLVneEAq8CV1t1HQUEv8zRVj0WAIU7CCs#AAAAAAAAJvA= and clicking on that plus sign just shows me the image, i.e., as if the url had been .../images/photo_of_me or .../images/photo_of_me/photo_of_me. okay, just one more query now! this one may be a bug. - i authenticate myself as 'user_u' (manager/owner), and create 'folder_f'. - inside 'folder_f' i create 'folder_g', inside which i create 'folder_h', inside which i create 'document_d'. - inside 'folder_h' i also create an acl_users folder and add a new user, 'user_v' (manager/owner). - i authenticate myself as 'user_v' and take ownership of 'document_d'. - i authenticate myself as 'user_u', cut 'folder_h' and paste it into 'folder_f'. - 'folder_g' is now empty and can be deleted. - i authenticate myself as 'user_v' and examine 'document_d'. i am invited to take ownership of said document (because i am 'user_v (folder_f/folder_h/acl_users)', and it is owned by 'user_v (folder_f/folder_g/folder_h/acl_users)'). is this the desired behaviour? i appreciate that had i simply deleted 'user_v', 'document_d' would still be owned by that user, but somehow it seems wrong that the same estrangement can be achieved by a more powerful user moving a subfolder (e.g., when trying to reorganise the layout of several websites on a single zope server). thanks, hamish -- Get your firstname@lastname email for FREE at http://Nameplanet.com/?su
