DateTime.rfc822() broken under 2.6.0
by alan milligan 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Hi, I've just discovered that the rfc822 function throws an exception under 2.6.0. On further investigation, the problem is that there are references to two global variables, localzone, and altzone which are not set. The only place where these are referenced within the class is a global f'n, _findLocalTimeZoneName, but then they have local lexical scope at this point ... I don't really understand the significance of all of this, but the following is a grubby hack to get things working (if someone would let me know, I can bundle these things as patches...) def rfc822(self): """Return the date in RFC 822 format""" # # WAM theres a problem with the defns on localzone/altzone ... # localzone = altzone = 0 _findLocalTimeZoneName(1) if self._tz == self._localzone0: #Use local standard time tzoffset = _tzoffset2rfc822zone(localzone) elif self._tz == self._localzone1: # Use local daylight saving time tzoffset = _tzoffset2rfc822zone(altzone) else: tzoffset = '-0000' # unknown time zone offset return '%s, %2.2d %s %d %2.2d:%2.2d:%2.2d %s' % ( self._aday,self._day,self._amon,self._year, self._hour,self._minute,self._nearsec,tzoffset) I look forward to a proper fix.

growing webpage
by Jorg E. Rødsjø 27 Nov '02

Hi My dtml looks like this: <table> <dtml-in expr="functionCall('spam')" mapping> <tr> <td><dtml-var dictKey1></td> <td><dtml-var dictKey2></td> </tr> </dtml-in> </table> Where the functionCall returns a list of dictionaries from an External method. Everything works fine. But if the page is reloaded, the <dtml-in> tag seems to be run twice, resultning in double the amount of <tr>'s. When I continnue to reload it, the table just keeps getting bigger. The <table> tags are not repeated. Only the stuff inside the <dtml-in>. If I try to open the page in a new browser, the page is as big as it was after reloading it a couple of times in the first browser. So something in zope is doing this. This is at the moment more than mildly frustrating. Anyone? -jorg -- Jorg E. Rødsjø "Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. elsewhere.dhs.org Study hard, be evil."

Acquisition breaking my tal:attributes="href ..." (I think)
by Jon Whitener 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

How can I circumvent this apparent effect of aquisition? I have a Zope Page Template like so (for a cable TV company Website): 1 <ul tal:repeat= 2 "package python:root.services.digital_tv.packages.objectValues('Cable Package')"> 3 <li><a href="HREF" 4 tal:attributes="href package/feature_list/absolute_url" 5 tal:content="package/title_or_id">PACKAGE TITLE OR ID</a> 6 </li> 7 </ul> 'Cable Package' is a very simple folderish ObjectManager ZClass. My only problem is in line 4. Because all the Cable Package objects acquire the "feature_list" ZPT object from their common parent directory ("packages"), absolute_url resolves to the following in every iteration: ~/services/digital_tv/packages/feature_list This is no good. I want HREF in the different iterations of the "package" repeat variable to resolve to paths specific to the current Cable Package object, e.g.: ~/services/digital_tv/packages/gold/feature_list ~/services/digital_tv/packages/silver/feature_list ~/services/digital_tv/packages/platinum/feature_list (Where gold, silver, and platinum are Cable Package objects within folder "packages".) The actual, aquired feature_list ZPT (in the "packages" folder) in turn calls the individual Cable Package's channel_list method. It all works great when I call the correct URLs directly, because "here" is properly defined in the feature_list template as below: <table tal:repeat="channel here/channel_list"> <tr> <td tal:content="channel/title_or_id">TITLE OR ID</td> <td tal:content="channel/number">000</td> </tr> </table> So, how do I get line 4 in the first snippet to stop resolving to the URL of the acquired feature_list, and instead return the Cable Package-specific URL (gold, silver, platinum)? Thanks so much for caring enough to read this far! Jon Detroit, Michigan, USA

RE: [Zope] acl_users
by Manfred Milhofer 27 Nov '02

Hi Tino Thanks for the reply. I didn't use zpasswd.py, I used the web interface but I added a user in the root acl_users folder, which according to other replies I received was not a good idea! I'll try the suggestion that several people made to create a new acl_users folder at the level I wish to secure. Thanks to all who replied.

Uh oh ;) You probably used the zpasswd.py for creating the second user? Not zpasswd.py is only for resolving the tie loop when initializing a new Data.fs - to have a user to log in it must be in the acl_users, which will be in the new Data.fs (beside the emergency user, which is in a file called "access") If you have a single user in acl_users or only one user, calling zpasswd.py inituser and restarting zope causes the inituser file to be absorbed and the user overwritten/created. What you want is to log in your Zope using a web browser after creating _your_ account with zpasswd and then make new users by adding them in the Browser interface. In your case give them no Role at all but the local role "manager" in the desired folder only. Regards Tino --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
