Dreamweaver - ANYTHING!- and SSL (Was RE: [Zope] Cut the Dreamweaver bashing ;-))

Hi Ron (and everyone): I'd like to tap into your experience of DW, ZPT and SSL (I only just noticed your SSLAbsoluteURL product) if I may. We (i.e. the University of Bristol) are trying to decide about which authoring tool to support for use with Zope. We have a requirement that any tool must work securely - no passwords floating about in the clear. We have found this requirement to be to be severely limiting - Dreamweaver, GoLive et al just don't support https (good 'ol cadaver and vi have no such problems). So first question: is this assessment correct? We have had some success if we insert WebDrive into the equation - GoLive and even FrontPage (if you open via the File menu rather than a drag and drop) seem to then work fine over https, but NOT Dreamweaver. In trying to understand the DW problem I tried making DW's local folder a Webdrive mounted Zope folder. As far as I can see DW insists on creating a .TMP file (to hold the edits of any original object) which then gets renamed on being saved - but then you loose the original ZPT object metatype. Second question: has anyone a working workaround for the DW problem? I think I can see how to attack it with PUT_factory but I don't have deep Zen in this department (or any other!).

installing and running zope problem (r.h. linux 7.2)
by James Johnson 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

I just painfully set-up 2.5.0 binary from ozzope.com. I pasted the URL that helped me the most in getting 2.5.0 running with linux redhat 7.2. I had to run the install script like ./install -u username -g usergroup. Then when I started zope I used ./start -zope. I'm still working on it as I type this. I'm familiar with the linux platform, so I managed to get zope 2.5.0, cmf 1.2, and virtualhostfolder to work with apache on rh 7.2. hth, -James > http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zbook/book/VII/PlatformInstallation/Insta > llDrafts/952542286

Re: [Zope] mixing python and DTML is hellish!
by Anthony Baxter 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

>>> Peter Bengtsson wrote > Secondly, ZPT "code" tends to be a bit longer (in amount of characters) and > Python advocates don't really like this. I think it's safe to say that I'm a "python advocate" and I reject this statement, utterly. Clarity always wins over code size. If I cared about byte counts of my code, I'd use perl and it's magic line noise encoding. The key argument against DTML for me is that it is a slippery slippery slope that leads to something horrible like PHP. I have a large web application that's been under development for 3 years now (in Zope) and it's full of crufty nasty DTML. Making the DTML go away is a key thing that we are now working on.

zsql limit all doesnt work
by Paz 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

Good morning, Im trying to build some data shelfs with sql data and a dtml method and I run into a problem where the output is not correct because the outermost zsql refuses to pull more than 999 records. I unfortunately have very little time to solve it, but hoped maybe someone might see this right away. I use the limit all in the zsql but it isn't helping. TIA, for desperate measures... Paz

RE: [Zope] Apache virtual hosts and Zope on port 80...
by Graham King 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

PCGI is very slow, in comparison. FastCGI is much better, but as Steve said, ProxyPass uses your http interface in Zope itself. ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse are great to avoid the ugly URL content, when you have virtual hosts, kame sure to use the VirtualHostMonster. Given your comment about port 8998 below, you can use any port, but PCGI is not a PORT connection, but a shell script "front-end" (hence slowness). Note, I've noticed my own problem with PCGI and Zope 2.5.0, whereas the other methods are working well. (Don't know enough about problem yet to comment). Graham -----Original Message----- From: addyd(a)unk.edu [mailto:addyd@unk.edu] Sent: Sunday, 3 March 2002 8:57 To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Apache virtual hosts and Zope on port 80... I am attempting to install Zope on a remote server that I have root access to. The server is behind a firewall. Therefore I need the Zope content to be handled by Apache through port 80 in order for anyone to see it, including me. This apache has numerous virtual hosts set up, only ONE of which I need some Zope content for. Zope was installed from source at /usr/local/zope The various virtual hosts are at: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/hostone.com/ /usr/local/apache/htdocs/hostone.com/ I was planning on following the instructions at doc/WEBSERVER.txt for using Zope.cgi (pcgi), but the examples all said to then connect with http://hostone.com:8998/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage I can't see if it is working due to the firewall and need it passed on port 80. Is there anyway to do this? I have not yet run the "z2.py -p" due to this question. Thanks in advance for any replies.

evaluating a string as an expression
by Greg Conway 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

Hi all, I'm managing (very slowly!) to ease myself from DTML to Python, but I have just hit a bit of a snag... I have a string of variables, such as value1, value2, value3, etc. I wish to find the values of these variables as expressions within python, if that makes sense! What I've done is stored these values within a form using a loop, and now I need to retreive the values in python. I can see them in the request, and can access them via REQUEST.specify1, REQUEST.specify2, etc - but not programmatically! After many hours of working through this, I find (I think!) I need the python 'eval' command. And then I find it's not allowed in Zope!! So my question is (please somebody take pity on me!!), how can I perform the following (pseudo code!!) in python? TestVar = ( 'REQUEST.specify' + str(OutsideLoop.CatID) ) This doesn't work, obviously! What I really want to do is (I think)... TestVar = eval("REQUEST.specify" + str(OutsideLoop.CatID)) Please, please, please can anybody offer any help on this?

getRoot() how?
by Peter Bengtsson 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

In a product class I want to add a method that returns the root of the instance. Suppose I have this URL: http://localhost:8080/myProductInstance/subfolder/foldersub/useRoot() Method useRoot() will get the 'myProductInstance' object and add some properties to it. To do this you would do: root_instance = self.myProductInstance But I can't know the name of the instance of course. This would be another method: root_instance = self.superValues('Product Meta Type')[0] Neither method is very neat. Is there a OO command to immediatly get the root of the instance? Peter

question about ZGDChart product
by felix slager 03 Mar '02

03 Mar '02

Hello, I have a question about ZGDChart. I'm using zgdchart for displaying things from a DTML method, that returns a python script that uses a ZSQL method. The python script fills the REQUEST variable with some data and sends - or returns - it along. The data in the request is the same tuple that is used for ZGDChart, and i'd like to use it to summerize the graphs data in a table beneeth or next to the graph. Is it possible to use the REQUEST variable so the whole datagathering is done only once (for graph and table) or is there a context available for storing the tuple that isn't used by ZGDChart itself (for the REQUEST is used)? Or is ZGDChart sending some tuple along somewhere that can be used? The resulting chart is a 3d presentation like the 3d chart "Distribution by City" in Zope product page about ZGDChart (http://www.zope.org/Members/teyc/ZGDChart) My second question is, is there a way to put labels for f.i. the "green" and "blue" data-series of your example? Now only two axes of the three displayed are labeled.
