Cookie authentication: CUF and XUF
by darrylc 07 Mar '02

07 Mar '02

I have been running tests with IE 5 and IE 6 and am running into the same problem. If I set the CUF to expire the cookies after the browser session, I can view the first page on my site, but if I go to another link within the same site/level I get thrown back to the authorization page and zope thinks I am an anonymous user. This is with the expiration set to end after the session. Testing with Netscape, Galeon, or Opera works fine. Anyone else see this? Zope: 2.4.3 OS: Linux RH 7.2 XUF seems to totally ignore the fact that I have set cookies as my authenticaton method. If I set the method to Basic Auth. I get challenged via http. With cookies I sail on through. This could be user error. Do I need to write my own dtml methods to like docLogin, etc. Or should XUF be automatically be using the "Contents" tab?? TIA, -Darryl

NT Service doesn't respond on stop request
by Mark Snellings 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

I have Zope 2.4.2 running as service on Windows 2000. The service starts okay, but when I stop it from the Management Console, the service stops and then about a minute later I get the message "Could not stop the Zope (WebSite) service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." If I enter the "NET STOP WebSite" command from a command window, the service stops and the command completes without any error messages in about 20 seconds. Any idea why I'm getting the error message when stopping the service from the Management Console? Thanks Mark Snellings

upload file from filename
by John Hunter 03 Mar '02

03 Mar '02

>From a Python Script, given a string which is a filename on the local filesystem, say, thisFile = 'C:\\ProgramFiles\\SomeDir\\somefile.dat' How can I upload this to the zope filesystem? I naively tried: folder.manage_addFile(id='somefile.dat', file=thisFile ) But of course this created a file somefile.dat with contents 'somefile.dat' because the 'file' argument contains the content, not the name, of the file. Any suggestions? Thanks, John Hunter

Installing LoginManager with Zope 2.5 and ZPatterns 0-4-3 beta2
by Ross Balmer 03 Mar '02

03 Mar '02

Hi, I've been trying to install LoginManager (version 0.8.8 beta 1, and then version 0.8.6, ie: the last non-beta) on Zope 2.5 with ZPatterns 0.4.3 Beta 2 on Windows 2000. LoginManager shows up as a broken product. Here's the traceback I've been getting: Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\Zope\lib\python\OFS\Application.py", line 531, in import_product product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "D:\Zope\lib\python\Products\LoginManager\__init__.py", line 1, in ? import LoginManager, LoginMethods, UserSources File "D:\Zope\lib\python\Products\LoginManager\LoginManager.py", line 7, in ? from Products.ZPatterns.PlugIns import PlugInGroup File "D:\Zope\lib\python\Products\ZPatterns\__init__.py", line 1, in ? import Rack, Specialists, Customizers, AttributeProviders, SheetProviders File "D:\Zope\lib\python\Products\ZPatterns\Rack.py", line 1, in ? from DataManagers import DataManager File "D:\Zope\lib\python\Products\ZPatterns\DataManagers.py", line 6, in ? from AttributeProviders import AttributeProvider File "D:\Zope\lib\python\Products\ZPatterns\AttributeProviders.py", line 7, in ? from Expressions import * File "D:\Zope\lib\python\Products\ZPatterns\Expressions.py", line 38, in ? from DocumentTemplate.DT_Util import Eval, expr_globals, TemplateDict, \ ImportError: cannot import name expr_globals Does anyone know of a fix, or failing that a stable combination of LoginManager and ZPatterns which runs on Zope 2.5? Thanks Ross

unbound method error with ZPT
by Peter Bengtsson 02 Mar '02

02 Mar '02

Everything used to work fine but now I get a weird error message in my METAL macros Page Template.  No line number, so I started removing things until I came to an odd conclusion. That this does NOT work: <html metal:define-macro="standard"> <br tal:replace="python:here.APythonScript()" /> </html> BUT, this works: <html metal:define-macro="standard"> <br tal:replace="here/APythonScript"/> </html> Zope 2.3.2, python 1.5.2, win98 TAL, PageTemplates 1.4.(latest) I have searched the mailinglist but found no solution. It was working before until the site got complicated. I suppose I should be more specific about the whole problem but I was hoping for a quick answer. Has anybody come across this; and solved it?? Cheers, Peter

Mythical Symlinks
by Phil Harris 02 Mar '02

02 Mar '02

All, I'm using the Symlink doohickey that Shane Hathaway did. http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/Symlink All is well so far, but I find myself needing to add properties to the symlink itself, without impacting on the original object. Thing is that the symlink does it's job so well that the symlink is indistinguishable from the original object and when getting properties etc. it gets the properties of the original, hmmm, bugger (c). Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about ;), and if so anyone have any ideas? tia Phil

docking a URL within (<dtml-include>?)
by Roy Mathew 02 Mar '02

02 Mar '02

Dear Zopesters, What is the preferred way to render another URL inside of your page template. I don't think I want to use acquisition, since the other URL may not even developed by me (Sort of like how you can dock Visio inside of MSWORD). Is there a sort of <dtml-include> type tag. Thanks, Roy Mathew.
