Access Rule no longer triggering
by Keith J. Farmer 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

I have the following access rule in root: Extract the part of HTTP_HOST we care about, and declare our rewrite dictionary. <dtml-let hostname="_.string.lower(HTTP_HOST)" sitemap="{ 'cloondara.thuban.org': 'cloondara', 'cloondara.dyndns.org': 'cloondara', 'www.thuban.org': 'thuban', 'server.thuban.org': 'thuban', 'leonov.dyndns.org': 'thuban' }" > <dtml-var hostname> <br> <dtml-var sitemap> Do we have a match?  Set the logical root: <dtml-let root="'/'"><dtml-var root> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('SiteRootPATH', '/')"> </dtml-let> Add physical root: <dtml-let root="thuban"><dtml-var root> <dtml-call "REQUEST['TraversalRequestNameStack'].append(root)"> </dtml-let> Add vhost root: <dtml-let root="'VHOSTS'"><dtml-var root> <dtml-call "REQUEST['TraversalRequestNameStack'].append(root)"> </dtml-let>  </dtml-let> <br> <dtml-var REQUEST> In the VHOSTS/... folders I have SiteRoots with all blank attributes per instructions. When I had ZOPE running on port 8080, all was well, and the access rule was performing admirably. However, I've since moved zope to port 80, and now it doesn't do anything. Viewing the access rule from the editor shows everything getting set properly. I've attempted reinstallation and reimporting the database, which didn't help. I'm running this as an NT Service under Win2k Server. Could someone explain what's going on? Did I miss something in moving Zope to port 80?

Yes. It's one of the lessons in the tutorial.

Python and ODBC
by giquel valerie 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

Hello ! we try to integrate a Python Script in Zope. This script connect to a MySQl DataBase via an ODBC llink. # open the database connexion=odbc.odbc('python_mysql/root/') curseur=connexion.cursor() # runnig the SQL query curseur.execute('select * from produits') we have imported the modules ODBC and DBI. When we run the script, zope ask to indentify us. There is an error after. We have authorized the import of these modules creating a new file called __init__.py. Is it normal that Zope ask us to identify at each running script ? Could you help us ? Thanks a lot Solenn & Valérie ===== ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Vos albums photos en ligne, Yahoo! Photos : http://fr.photos.yahoo.com

Re: [Zope] CFM.

I believe you need to change the workflow. If members are not allowed to publish their objects, then they cannot be searched or viewed by other members...i think. Oh and Content Framework Management doesn't quite have the same ring to it ;-) Cheers Tim >hi, > >For the CFM product, is it possible to secure the site so that each member >has a private section that is NOT search-able from any other member? > >We would like to do a 'client' section on our site, but do not >necessarily want all client to view all other clients, and NOT view there >home page. > >Thanks, >j. > > >-- >...................... >.....

Invoking a Protected CMF Method
by Mark Snellings 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

I've written a DTML Method which builds a user roster and then accesses the portal_membership record for each of these users to output their email address. The method works fine as long as the user is a Portal Manager since the getMemberById method is protected by permission ManagePortal. I have an automated process which every so often will invoke the method (via http request) to retrieve the email addresses of all the portal users. The problem is that the method is not working properly because when the http request is invoked, the request is treat as an anonymous user. What must I do get this to work? I have tried to specify a userid:password on the http request, but Zope is not using this as the userid for the CMF access. Is there a way to specify userid/password in the URL so that I can access the DTML method which as I said can only be invoked by a Portal Manager. I've considered adding a non-Protected method to MembershipTool.py, but I really don't want to be modifying CMF. Any suggestions? Thanks Mark Snellings Stellar Communications, LLC msnellings(a)stellarcomms.com

CFM.
by Jason C. Leach 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

hi, For the CFM product, is it possible to secure the site so that each member has a private section that is NOT search-able from any other member? We would like to do a 'client' section on our site, but do not necessarily want all client to view all other clients, and NOT view there home page. Thanks, j. -- ...................... ..... Jason C.

Use Homesite (was RE: [Zope] Great html-applet ( commercial )...)
by Schmidt, Allen J. 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

Try HomeSite! Works great, easy to use and customize, save and drop in hunks of repeatable code (snippets), create your own Zope toolbars of often-used tags, etc, etc.... And the best thing?!?! Unlimited UNDO and REDO! Open a file, make a change, hit F12 for a browse-view in the same window for a look. If its not right, or breaks something just hit F12 to go back to edit and CNTL-Z (undo) back to previous and save it. Saves a lot of time and offers a nice security blanket when editing live, production stuff. And the other best thing?!?! Multiple editing windows open at a time and search-and-replace on them all. AND print out your code! I like seeing my code on paper. Built in help, wizards for most everything, CSS editor, html-tag popup helpers, etc,... Some things I have found: Works on all DTML docs and methods and ZSQL methods. Some things don't open. Easy to rename files. Not so easy to create new files (that I have found). Just keep a ZMI window open for regular management stuff. Gives new life to working with Zope files, if on the Windows platform.

What we really need is some kind of wysiwyg tool to edit content in zope instead of the *non wrapping* text areas provided by zope. Why those are non-wrap-able? I have no idea, and for sure it's a problem (btw, if it's hotfix-able, Id' like to know how to do this). I see no way to add simple formatting to a browser based text area. So the only way is for now : ftp, java applets, or IE5+ html edit component.

Script Python et ODBC
by giquel valerie 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

Bonjour, Nous essayons tant bien que mal d'intégrer un script Python dans ZOPE. Ce script se connecte à une base de données Mysql via un lien ODBC. # Ouverture de la BDD (Cf paramétrage dans pilote ODBC) connexion=odbc.odbc('python_mysql/root/') curseur=connexion.cursor() # Exécution de la requête SQL curseur.execute('select * from produits') Nous avons importer les modules ODBC et DBI. Lors de l'exécution du script, il nous demande une authentification. Une erreur se produit ensuite. Nous avons autoriser l'import de ces modules en créeant un fichier __init__.py. Est-ce normal qu'il nous demande de nous identifier à chaque exécution du script? Pouvez-vous nous aider? Merci Solenn et Valérie ===== ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Vos albums photos en ligne, Yahoo! Photos : http://fr.photos.yahoo.com

Zope v OpenACS and nonprofit application developers
by Michael Ward 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

Hello all: I work with a nonprofit organization that helps other nonprofits with technology. We do everything from developing a free desktop database application, www.ebase.org, to providing strategic consulting to progressive activist groups on how to further their mission. Currently, there is a very active discussion about building applications for the nonprofit world in open source tools. 2 platforms are being discussed OpenACS and Zope. The discussion has quite a few champions/developers of OpenACS, but there aren't any people that seem to have real experience with Zope. A couple have played with it or done small projects. The discussion is taking place on a listserver sponsored by the Nonprofit Open Source Intiative, www.nosi.net, which isn't much of anything beside the discussion that I am referring to. If there are some people in this community that have an interest in nonprofit organizations and would be willing to share their expertise on zope, it would be greatly appreciated at this important decisionmaking time for us. Not to mention I think there will be some development power spawned out of this discussion. So...You can subscribe from here => http://www.nosi.net/mailman/listinfo/nosi-discussion . (If you look at the archives, the discussion gets interesting around the post with the subject "The problem of picking a programming language/framework". And honestly, I don't think Zope sucks as badly as the OpenACS people say ; ) (That is a total joke trying to bait people into participating.) m -- Michael Ward Senior Consultant TechRocks, A supporting organization to the Rockefeller Family Fund mward(a)techrocks.org 212-812-4255 http://www.techrocks.org
