by Elena Schulz 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

Hi, is there a possibility to return a message while executing without to interupt the Script or redirect to another one (because of variable-transfer)? As message from Globals.MessageDialog is unauthorized in Python Scripts. -- many thanks for your replies, Elena

NotFound (404) and Unauthorized (401) error page redirects
by Kamal Gill 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

I need some advice on how to create an Unauthorized (401) error page redirect. I've discovered how to create a NotFound (404) error page redirect by adding the following code to the top of the "standard_error_message" DTML method, which is located in the root folder... <dtml-if "error_type=='NotFound'"> <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.redirect('/notfound.html', lock=1)"> </dtml-if> However, when I replace 'NotFound' with 'Unauthorized' (--please DO NOT try this on your production Zope server--), anyone who tries to log into the Zope management interface (ZopeServer/manage) is redirected to the unauthorized page. Basically, I need to know the Zope analog of Apache's "ErrorDocument 401 /unauthorized.html" directive. Many thanks. - Kamal

how to get number of users accessing a resource at any given time ...
by ralph s 02 Dec '02

hi all, i have this script which is going to be called by a lot of anonymous users to search the database ... is there anyway i can determine how many of them are accessing the script at a given time ...so that as soon as another user comes in ...he can be informed of his status in the queue ... would using the keys method of the TransientObjectContainer class be a solution ? but security restricitions prevent me from accessing this method ... and if this can be used how do i use it ?

Making a Z Class and a Z Catalog get along - PropertyManager?
by Edward Pollard 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

I've managed to succesfully create my Z Class product so that it enters itself into the Z Catalog on creation. Hooray for me. Now, the goal of this task I'm undertaking is to allow web pages to have specific properties associated with them, and these properties are automagically searchable. That is why I made the Z Class which is based in PageTemplate, as it needs to behave pretty much like a page template, but have two properties that are searchable. Now, I've seen it mentioned in passing that the PropertyManager is not catalog aware, and as such I'm not so surprised to learn that the objects I create do not have their changes to their properies reflected in the Catalog. Where I saw this mentioned was a post to the effect of "Make sure you make PropertyManager catalog aware!" How do I make PropertyManager catalog aware, and only aware for this specific ZClass? As a more general question: Can anyone direct me to some Zope resources suitable for intermediate questions such as this? I have the Zope Book in front of me, but that only covers the basics, and I can't find much in the way of usefull information on Zope.org. (Or is that just me?) Anything else out there so I don't have to wander around asking silly questions? Ed

iptables rules for zope webserver
by Jianping Zhu 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

I have a redhat linux 7.1 server with a zope websever on it. I use iptables as firewall. following is the iptables rules for zope: #=========================================================== ## Zope iptables -= INPUT -i $IFACE -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT # Allow inbound ftp iptables -A INPUT -i $IFACE -p tcp --dport 8021 -m state --state \ NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o $IFACE -p tcp --storc 8021 -m state --state \ ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT #======================================================================= I am trying to use ws_ftp to send files to zope sever via port 8021 ( in ws_ftp session property->advanced i set remote port as 8021 and checked passive transfers). If I stop iptables, i can conect to zope via ftp (port 8021) and ftp files to zope. If the iptables is on, it still can connect to zope but i can not see the directories in the remote site text filed of the ws_ftp windows. it seems that it can connect to zope but can not display the directories in zope. and i failed to ftp it the zope server. Therefore, i believe the above iptalbles rules for zope have problem. how can i fix this problem and let zope ftp work? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Jianping

Zcatalog TopicIndex
by Chris Muldrow 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

I've looked at the newish TopicIndex on the Zcatalog, and it seems like something that might be terribly useful to me, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. I've got a ton of objects called FLSNewsStory objects, and they're essentially (believe it or not) news stories with various properties. They're cataloged now with FieldIndexes mainly, but I've got a few indexes such as "Organization" that contain a very limited set of possibilities. Organization can only be one of four values. Can I use TopicIndices to more efficiently catalog such an index? How would I go about doing that? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks! - Chris Muldrow cmuldrow(a)fredericksburg.com
