cut/paste
by Leland Myrick 12 Aug '01

12 Aug '01

I'm a zope newbie and have just started learning using The Zope Book. I signed up for one of the free accounts at zopesite.com and have been using it, but I have a pretty basic problem: when I cut something from within a folder, the paste button appears, but as soon as I navigate to another folder it disappears and I am unable to paste the object somewhere else. Am I missing something? leland myrick

Is it possible to add/create complex objects via FTP?
by jkinsley 12 Aug '01

12 Aug '01

I am building a site for which I am creating an 'extended folder' object. It is a subclass of Ordered Folder which adds about 15-25 additional properties. I am lazy and I hate web forms, so do not want to go through the web interface and create all the properties manually. :) Now then I would like to take my laziness one step further. I would like to be able to create a text/plain file containing something like: object_type = 'Extended Folder' id = 'foo' title = 'Extended Folder Foo' property1 = value1 property2 = 'value2' .... propertyn = ''' valuen line 1 valuen line 2 ''' then upload it into Zope via FTP. Is this possible? And if so, what methods would I need to implement in my product to make it work and/or where can I find documentation? If it is not currently possible, could this functionality be implemented into Zope? I can think of many other possibilities where it would be really nice such as adding a DTML Method via FTP instead it always being a DTML Document. Regards Jarrod Kinsley

installing Zope 2.4 as service on win2k
by Kevin Kuo 12 Aug '01

12 Aug '01

Hi, I recently installed zope 2.4 on a win2000 machine and it is causing weird things to happen to the OS. For example, I can't access my network configurations, I can't run media player, and I can't uninstall Zope and some other programs. I have read something regarding Python and Zope colliding, but I couldn't find out more through the mailing list for Zope or the python newsgroup. My configuration: Zope 2.4 WWW port: 8080, ftp: 8021. ActivePython 2.1 Python 2.2a1 IIS 5 WWW port: 80, ftp: 21. Userland Radio: 9081. I'd like to get back to development with Zope on my home machine as soon as possible, but I'm afraid history will just repeat itself. Any solutions, and ideas? Thanks in advance. Kevin

Re: [Zope] Create or edit instance objects
by Pablo Ziliani 11 Aug '01

Hi Tino, so far, to edit an "iii" instance I only had to call my "MMM" method this way from the web: "http://root/folder1/folder2/iii/MMM" so method MMM used iii object values. When the parent was a folder "http://root/folder1/folder2/MMM" the method itself set some defaults (even its id) to the request, so the instance could be created. This worked fine placing the method in an "acquirable" folder, but as I said before, I´m trying "MMM" to become a class method. The edit function worked fine by placing "MMM" in the "MyProduct/propertysheets/methods" folder but (of course), this way I couldn´t call it from a folder (to create a new instance) since it was only acquirable from MyProduct´s class instances. Now, in your proposed schema, how would you call the "xxx_class_add" method _VIA_WEB_ for it to get "iii" instance´s values (to edit them)? Thanks again, Pablo.

Z Oracle Stored Procedure problems calling from other schemas
by Walter Miller 11 Aug '01

11 Aug '01

How can i call a stored procedure from another schema. I only have permission to call a stored procedure from an admin schema and not the schema it resides in. When I set up the Z Oracle Stored Procedure, it's ok with just the name of the procedure but when I test it, it says "[myprocdure] is not a valid stored procedure name." In SQLPlus I can call it from the admin schema without specifying the schema name it actually lives in. I tried specifying "schema.myprocedure" as the Procedure Name and that didn't work. Any ideas?

I checked through the DTML function i could not find this function. I am writing a code where i will need to store the title of each dtml document with <dtml-let > and extract certain number of xters from the title and test it before calling a particular object. This function is widely used, but this is the way is been used in Vb mid(string, start [,length]) string - denote the var name start - " where you want to begin the extraction length - " the no of xters you want extract from the string E.g. let say my title is sunday05082001 then if i specify mid(title, 1, 6) the result of the fuction will be sunday. kindly help me out.

Create or edit instance objects
by Pablo Ziliani 11 Aug '01

11 Aug '01

Dear Zopeists: I guess my problem should be a classical one, but I still haven´t found a solution in any How-to or message in this list, so I have no choice to ask for your help. - HELP!!!! How can I make the same method that creates an instance object to edit it? Note: - my class uses Propertysheets - my class uses random ids. - I would like to avoid to create the instance object before all the data is set in the REQUEST (and the button "create" has been clicked) so no garbage is to be later cleaned. Lots of thanks in advance, PABLO.

How do I keep local managers from accessing the entire site?
by Anders Conradi 11 Aug '01

11 Aug '01

Hi, I have played a bit with Zope, to see if I can use it for a site I plan to set up. My problem is that I don't understand how to configure Zope to have a local manager that manages a sub-folder of my site. I have read the ZopeBook, but I still don't understand. I have tried, from a vanilla 2.4.0 installation, to add a folder (let's call it "spam") and in that folder I create a user folder with one user, who has the manager role. The problem is that the user can access pretty much the entire site. For example, if he goes to the URL "http://mysite:myport/spam/Control_Panel/manage_shutdown" he shuts down the entire site. How do I make his privileges local to the spam folder? Thanks in advance! //Anders
