Is there a MailHost that can authenticate (username/password)? I just switched to an smtpd that requires authentication (courier)

RE: [Zope] Can't have custom 404 (NameNotFound) Errors?
by Chris A. Bruce 18 Feb '02

I notice that when my "standard_error_message" is displayed, it seems to lose all AUTHENICATED_USER info too. But I am using _.SecurityGetUser().getUserName() and it is coming back ANONYMOUS when the error page is displayed, but works fine on all other pages. I am also using CookieUserFolder, not sure if that makes a difference.

I verymuch doubt this is the case, although using AUTHENTICATED_USER to access this has been deprecated for some time now. Looks in the online help to see how you should be getting hold of the object representing the current authenticated user. cheers, Chris Tim Ansell wrote: > > This is the case.

Newbie URL problem
by Hardy Beltran Monasterios 18 Feb '02

18 Feb '02

Hi ! I´m a Zope newbie user, I´m learning Zope just two months ago in my spare time. For a test I made a simple Web site, everything is Ok, except a thing, my URL´s, let me explain I have a page with 2 columns: TOC and content, when I clic on an item on the TOC, the page is showed and the URL its right, but when again click on the same item the URL looks bad, but the page is correctly showed. 1 click -> http://www/cgi-bin/Zope/mysite/event/past.html 2 click -> http://www/cgi-bin/Zope/mysite/event/event/past.html 3 click -> http://www/cgi-bin/Zope/mysite/event/event/past.html and so.... Can any body explain me what´s the problem ? Thank for your time -- Hardy Beltran Monasterios hardy(a)acm.org PD. Sorry, Spanish is my mother tongue

(Fwd) rename problem
by Arian de Wit 18 Feb '02

18 Feb '02

Hi All, I need to move something from one folder to a subfolder via Zope's FTP interface. This doesn't seem to work: rnfr x.gif [that command completes fine] rnto ./previous/x.gif [that yields a 550 error -- also if I use a complete path from the root] Is this something peculiar to Zope's FTP interface? Looking briefly at the code for the FTP server, it looks a little peculiar -- seems to "translate" the FTP request into an HTTP request and submit that to call manage_renameObject? If anyone can help me out with this, I'd be very grateful.

Zope starts with a PCGI error
by meaghanaldridge 18 Feb '02

18 Feb '02

Hi, I recently downloaded Zope 2.5.0, and have gone through the installation process. I have attempted to start Zope, by running the ./start file. However, this is what I get: [root@ocean zope2.5.0]# ./start ------ 2002-02-18T03:06:53 INFO(0) ZODB Opening database for mounting: '142128808_1013569754.887551' ------ 2002-02-18T03:06:53 INFO(0) ZODB Mounted database '142128808_1013569754.887551' at /temp_folder ------ 2002-02-18T03:06:53 INFO(0) ZServer HTTP server started at Mon Feb 18 14:06:53 2002 Hostname: ocean.magtech.com.au Port: 8080 ------ 2002-02-18T03:06:53 INFO(0) ZServer FTP server started at Mon Feb 18 14:06:53 2002 Hostname: ocean.magtech.com.au Port: 8021 ------ 2002-02-18T03:06:53 INFO(0) ZServer PCGI Server started at Mon Feb 18 14:06:53 2002 Unix socket: /usr/local/zope2.5.0/var/pcgi.soc Then it stops. Nothing else ever happens. I have no messages from my firewall, and nothing in /var/log/messages. So basically, I'm stuck and have no idea where to go from here. I am fairly sure that I have followed the installation instructions correctly. Does anyone know what I should do next? TIA, Meaghan

python10 digest + articles at pythonjournal.cognizor.com comprise PythonJournal 2(2)
by editor＠pythonjournal.com 17 Feb '02

17 Feb '02

Python Journal new issue 2(2) is out and about at pythonjournal.cognizor.com with articles and a fairly detailed digest of the content of the 4 very full days of the 2002 Python10 conference. Focus in the articles of this issue is on deepening understanding of how python works -- recursion, PySpy. First -- The pythonista thinks about repeating functions: Alternative recursion methods with iteration splitoff auxiliaries, having different oopses and efficiencies. Then -- Inspect your own pet python's looping and leaping. In realtime! Tutorial on Malcolmson's PySpy shows what documentation ;) looks like inside out, how basic program structures including recursion vs. iteration really slither along. Screenshots, congeners (and cf. inspect.py). PySpy's 5th generation architecture mixes several programming languages like many of the python10 works. Expand to the level you want, then watch the changing of your variables and function calls as python proceeds along its train of thought.... With its introspection, PySpy teases us with the possibility of python consciousness. Great study tool. NOTE: Usually at <A HREF="http://pythonjournal.com"> http://pythonjournal.com</a>, look for it presently at <A HREF="pythonjournal.cognizor.com">***pythonjournal.cognizor.com***. NB. Dr. S.

RE: [Zope] Zope-2.5.0-src + python2.1.2 + OpenBSD 3.0 don't work
by Graham King 17 Feb '02

I agree with Jens below. I installed Zope 2.4.3 to openBSD, and got the same problem with the same bit of code. The untar truncates the name of this C module. I documented my process, and made mention of fixing this problem. see: http://www.zope.org/Members/gking/ZEO%20install%20on%20openBSD cheers Graham this sounds like the errors you get on systems with a broken "tar" utility where the tarballs get botched during expansion (solaris, mac os x). the workaround is to use the gnu version of tar instead. jens On Friday, February 15, 2002, at 03:58 , Robin S.

Question about .tag() attribut of images
by Sven Rudolph 17 Feb '02

17 Feb '02

Hello zopeusers. I have a little Problem with images. I have imported about 2000 images into zope using the Zope ftp server. Unfortunately all those pictures now have the extension .gif or .jpg or .jpeg. If I try to include a picture into a DTMLDocument with <dtml-var "mypicture.gif.tag()"> Zope tells me that the object mypicture has no attribute "gif". It seems to me, that using an object id with a dot makes access to attributes, well, difficult. But... If I write the following DTML code: <dtml-in mypicturefolder> <dtml-var tag><br> </dtml-in> all the pictures are correctly represented by <img>-tags with width, height and alt. The following works either: <dtml-var mypicture.gif> -> complete <img>-tag But.. <dtml-var "mypicturefolder.mypicture.gif"> doesn't work -> Attribute error - mypicturefolder.mypicture.gif has no attribute gif I had a look at the documentation and found the "namespace variable". It says it has to be used for "illegal" object ids (with . or , or anything inside). So I tried: <dtml-var _['mypicturefolder.mypicture.gif']> and <dtml-var _['mypicture.gif']> but the result is an key error-> object doesn't exist. Well, now you could say "Why don't you just use <dtml-var mypicture.gif>?". Because this seems to work in "mypicturefolder" only. But if I am in a different folder I have to use <dtml-var "mypicturefolder.mypicture.gif">, and this doesn't work. If I rename mypicture.gif to mypicture_gif everything works fine, even from distant folders, but this isn't an option with 2000 pictures referenced by nearly 10000 Documents (did I mention the documents?). Anyway. The next problem is, that I have written my own image product which inherits from Image and adds some extra attributes (description, keywords, etc.), so I have to find a way to acccess those attributes from anywhere. Now the time has come to ask for some help. Am I missing something ovbious? Is it described in the documentation, but I'm to blind to see it? I guess so :-( Thanks in advance for your help Greetings Sven Rudolph

Re: System Error from Zope Book Example
by Dan Shafer 17 Feb '02

17 Feb '02

The plot thickens. As I continue to try to work through this problem in an effort to learn something, I find this peculiarity. If I copy the script that is generating the error from a sub-folder of my Zope instance to the root folder, rather than a Zope error, I get a file download dialog indicating I am trying to download a file of type application/x-httpd-cgi. The external method this script is calling is stored at the root level of the Zope instance. So here's the script that's causing the problem: for image in context.objectValues('Image'): if not image.hasProperty('original_id'): context.makeThumbnail(image.getId()) the makeThumbnail script it's calling is an external defined at the root level. It works fine when run from a URL against a single image whose ID is provided as an argument (as described on pp. 156-157 of the Zope Book). But if I attempt to call it from this for-in loop in a non-external Python script, I get these weird conditions.
