For instance, the basic package at: > http://www.successfulhosting.com/ I have no idea; I guess it would depend on what the shared hosting ISP allows and how much access they give you. Your best bet is to ask this question on the zope(a)zope.org list, instead of individuals like me. I Cc-ed the list on this reply for this purpose.

Problem with DTML and strings
by Antonio Beamud Montero 13 Mar '02

13 Mar '02

Hello all: I'm trying to construct a dynamic string to get a name of an image based on the meta_type of a product... Here is the code (it must clarify what I'm saying... :-) <dtml-let nombre="_.string.join((_['meta_type'],'_img'))"> <dtml-var nombre> <img src="<dtml-var "images[nombre].absolute_url()">"> <dtml-var id> But this fails miserably... Zope says KeyError, but if a use a expression like this: <img src="<dtml-var "images['Disk_img'].absolute_url()">"> All works fine, and is the same string that 'nombre' contains What I'm doing wrong... -- Microsoft merges technologoies: Windows CE + Windows ME + Windows NT = Windows CEMENT ---- Antonio Beamud Montero Agora Systems S.A. http://www.agoratechnologies.com

Hi, does someone know, if there's a limit, how large a variable, that should be set into the REQUEST, can be? May a variable have the size of 100 or 400 characters or unlimited? What happens, if the variable is too large? Will the rest get cut off? TIA Marc

error messages
by Shilpa Shenvi 13 Mar '02

13 Mar '02

Hello, When I start up Zope on my Windows 95 system, some messages get sent to a DOS window. When there are import errors, however, I cannot always trace all of them because they are not retained in the window' s buffer. Is there an easy way to get these messages into some other file? Is there a way of increasing the window's buffer so that even if the messages are sent here, they are not quickly scrolled out? Thank you, Shilpa

Setting default view permissions on a product to deny anonymous access
by Harry Wilkinson 13 Mar '02

13 Mar '02

Hi all :) I am developing a product (a kind of CMF site) that should refuse anonymous access by default. I would like to write some code for this product so that whenever a new instance of it is created, the 'View' permission for that instance is set to exclude the role 'Anonymous', and allow the others ('Authenticated', 'Member', 'Owner', 'Reviewer', 'Manager'). So far I have played around with manage_permissions and have got: p.manage_permission('View', ['Authenticated', 'Member', 'Manager', 'Owner', 'Reviewer'], acquire=0) Unfortunately for me, this means that after the site gets created, I am for some reason not authorised to access the object. If I set acquire=1 so that it will acquire permission settings, then I have no problems with that but unauthenticated users can also view it :( Does anybody know what the usual way of setting default permissions for a product is? I don't want to define new permissions, just change the 'view' permission. Thanks : ) Harry

It is horribly buggy and is known to have problems with the Zope Mgmt Interface. If you must use IE, try 5.5. But Opera is really very nice. Wade Leftwich Ithaca, NY
