The edit method of your "context" does not have an argument "Description", maybe a typo. Dieter

change Catalog name using self.reindex_object()
by Marcus Schopen 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

Hi, I use self.reindex_object() in a python script to update my Catalog when changing the objects content. The ZClass is catalog aware. Now I'd like to use not the default Catalog but a catalog called e.g. CatalogNews. Is there a possibility to reindex to CatalogNews or is just default Catalog possible? Thank you Marcus -- _____________________________________ (0> Marcus Schopen //\ P.O.

method marshalling
by Tommy Johnson 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

I seem to remember someone telling me that I could marshal methods from form submit buttons. Currently, I use JavaScript to change the form's action property. So based on what button you press, you will go to the corresponding method. Example: I have a form that has three submit buttons that need to do different things: update, remove, or continue. I want each button to go to a different action method. With javascript, it's easy, based on what button I press, I just change the form's action property, and then immediately submit the form. But how do I do that with Zope's marshalling technique? I heard something:methodName, but what property of the submit button do I append the :methodname to?

Show Viewable folders
by Montagne, Michael 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

I'm trying to display only the folders that a User has viewing rights to. The following code snippets are my two different attempts that both seem flawed. I created a user and a role. Only when that user is assigned the Manager role at the root level will the ifs test true. I'm deselecting Acquire permission settings and checking view for the role. I know this is working because I can view the folder. I tested this by unchecking View and relying on Acquisition. When I did this, I could not view the folder, just as it should be. So it seems something in these code snippets is screwy. What could it be? <dtml-in expr="PARENTS[0].objectValues('Folder')"> <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission('View','<dtml-sequence-item>')"> <li><a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var title_or_id></a> <dtml-else> Nope<br> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> <dtml-in expr="PARENTS[0].objectValues('Folder')"> <dtml-if expr="_.SecurityCheckPermission('View','<dtml-sequence-item>')"> <li><a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var title_or_id></a> <dtml-else> Nope<br> </dtml-if> </dtml-in>

Re: [Zope] mod_gzip

> Hello all, > Does anybody know if mod_gzip howto : > http://www.zope.org/Members/Mamey/mod_gzip is still up to date with Zope > 2.4 > ? > Is the given patch really necessary ? > Thanx ! Hi Olivier, I installed mod_gzip some time ago on a production server. It happily runs since appr. 3 months in front of some zope servers (configured with VHM and mod_rewrite). I can't remember patching the source, and given the time difference between the howto (2000/11/01) and the mod_gzip release (03/08/01) I doubt that this is still necessary. One caveat though, I had one problem with some 5.0.x IE's, it suddenly had problems with one frame of a frameset. But since it only seems to happen on one IE out of appr. 10 I tested (with the _same_ version number), I ignored it. cheers, oliver

Folder visibility
by Montagne, Michael 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

I'm working on a site that will have multiple users. Each user should only be allowed to see the folders that they need to see. How do I control the visibility of folders based on users? I only see how to do it based on roles. -mjm

XML model
by Macdonald Jeremy 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

I am trying to model the following: <!ELEMENT X (A , B), (C, D | E, F) which I can't do as the above as I can only use one kind of connector. I am trying to get the instance to be either: <x><a> <b> <c> <d></x> or <x><a> <b> <e> <f></x> Any / all ideas would be welcome. Thanks Jeremy

Restricting Permissions
by brian.r.brinegar.1 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

I would like to restrict the users of a Zope install from creating some types of objects such as External Methods and Filesystem Views. If I disable these permissions in the root the user can enable them in any subfolder that they own. If I remove Owner privileges in the root the user can grant the necessary local roles to do whatever they want. I'm missing something, there has to be a way to limit what users can and cannot create while still allowing them to adjust permissions on objects they own. --Brian Brinegar ECN Web Technician CEE Undergraduate Programmer MSEE 104 A 494-3106 http://www.geeksoft.net/

newbie question about adding a product instance
by Chris Curvey 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

I was working through the Zope Book and trying to add a new product. I want to create an addForm so that all the properties are set from the get-go. I modifed that addForm that was generated for me, then I went searching through the add method that was generated. There's a comment in there that says you can use this <dtml-call "propertysheets.Basic.manage_editProperties( REQUEST)"> to set other attributes from the form, but it's always returning an attribute error for "basic." I've tried changing "Basic" to a couple of other things (like the name of my property sheet), but I can't seem to get past this. So, does anybody have an idea what I'm missing? Should I just ignore that comment in the generated DTML and replace the generated method with my own Python script? (Assuming I can figure out how to get access to the container, form, and underlying object from the python script....)
