I had absolutely no idea that the users needed to be members as well. Especially as they certainly aren't on my development site. Very very odd. Cheers Di

Zope magazine
by Heimo Laukkanen 18 Apr '02

18 Apr '02

Hi Mark ( and everyone on the c:d zope-mailinglist), just stumbled into Zopemag-site and saw what you at behiive have been up to (http://zopemag.com/Issue001/index.html) My first thougth was that what a nice idea, untill I realized that it isn't that great idea - since the magazine is based on paid subscriptions. I do know that people need to get paid for their work, but that also raises the question about what people are getting for the money they pay. For example judging by the first issue ( it is not fair to judge by the covers, I know ) , there isn't much to pay for yet. I am all up to educating people more about zope and canonical documents like good howto's reports, articles and books are propably the best guidance -- and after that people need technical documentation. Zopemag now raises a couple of questions: 1) What is editorial policy: - who can and will contribute - what do you will pay for the contributors 2) Openess policy - how much content will be open in the future for example would something like making the previous numbers free be out of the question? - what open services will be developed? If the world would be ideal place, I would like to see something like zopemag as a completely open system, or partly paid and for example archive as open content. I feel that magazine like content is really good to tie thing together and get people to find products and other howto's that migth interst them. Of course my point of view is only about educating people and myself, since I do not make money out of selling Zope-knowledge, even though I make money out of creating services and applications with Zope. Please answer and start discussion about what community could do to support something like zopemag and vice versa. I feel that if made well, something like zopemag could be really good -- like the really active personal zope-portals have sofar been. By the way - the idea of zope in intranet's is really well. I am just finishing my thesis to a polytechnic about building intranet to support implementation of strategy -- and supprise supprise as a case example I present an intranet built with Zope and CMF. -huima

RE: [Zope] Tasking System
by Schmidt, Allen J. 18 Apr '02

We are looking for an issue tracking system. Will take any and all suggestions!! Looking for something that anonymous users can add issues to for resolution. Admins would delegate tasks to those on our staff. Registered users could add/modify/delete tasks or assign to others with a trail documenting the process. Upon completion of an issue, an email would be generated to the user initiating it. Sounds like more of a helpdesk package now. The URL link to the product from the link below does not work. Wanted to take a look, but.... Has anyone looked at Amphora light groupware yet? Looks sharp... Just curious.

odd behavior when External Method calls DTML Method
by Brian Withun 18 Apr '02

18 Apr '02

I am experiencing some kind of acquisition problem when calling DTML Methods from External Methods In a nutshell, I have a dtml method: ---------------------(test1_dtml)--- <dtml-var URL> ------------------------------------ ...which renders fine when I view it using a web browser. When I test an external method which calls this DTML method, however, I get this traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 150, in publish_module File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 114, in publish File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 158, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Test) File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 98, in publish File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 88, in mapply (Object: test1) File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 39, in call_object (Object: test1) File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/Products/ExternalMethod/External Method.py, line 202, in __call__ (Object: test1) (Info: ((<Folder instance at 89f8ac8>,), {}, None)) File /home/zope/2-5-0/lib/python/Products/Model/Extensions/XmlRpc.py, line 66, in Test_test1 (Object: Test) File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 127, in __call__ (Object: test1_dtml) File /usr/local/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 473, in __call__ (Object: test1_dtml) KeyError: URL This is the module containing the function for my External Method: --------------------(myModule.py)--- def test1( self ): return self.Test.test1_dtml( self ) ------------------------------------ Curiously, though my DTML Method '''<dtml-var URL>''' does not work, if I change it to '''<dtml-var "REQUEST.get('URL')">''' it works fine. ????? Thanks to any Acquisition Gurus who can explain this. Brian Withun ------------

Getting a handle on the results of constructors
by Dennis Allison 18 Apr '02

18 Apr '02

In an External Method (that is, unrestricted python), for example, when you create a Folder one writes: self.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFolder( id,title="folder") one would think that it would return the object it just constructed so it would be easy to use the new product to, say, create another folder or a file inside. But that appears not to be the case. (In my example, the folder was successfully created but the code handle = self.manage_addProduct... returned None. That made what I thought was the obvious way to handle things, namely applying the constructor to the new folder using handle = self.manage_addProduct... fails as the constructor returns None. So, how do you get a reference to the newly created object?

concatenate
by Horvath Adam 18 Apr '02

18 Apr '02

I have a problem with concatenating. There are two dtml method. One with a form with three select variable: year, month and day The other dtml method process the form and call a zsql method in a loop again and again when the "next or previous x hit" link is clicked. In the zsql method: select * from table <dtml-sqlgroup where> <dtml-sqltest concatenateddate column=date type=int op=like> </dtml-sqlgroup> So the problem: If I concatenate the date in zsql method. (three arguments: year,month,day) Only the first 10 hit are find with the specified date and at the next 10 and more hits the date term is ignored. But, if I concatenate the three form variables in the processing dtml method before calling the zsql-loop and REQUEST.set ('concatenateddate' , .... and call zsql method in loop(It has only one argument now.) The result is the same. Only the first 10 hit are find with the specified date and at the next 10 and more hits the date term is ignored. And I don't like the date term to be ignored from the second loop. How can I do this job? (I've been thinking about it for three days :) ) An another questions: I'd like to build multi-language website. I imagined that there is a dictionary text file with all the words and sentences of the program in several languages. And the program is displayed in the selected language. Are there any documentations in that topic and example programs? Thanks Halinux

How to retrieve a previous object's version without undoing it?
by Ausum Studio 18 Apr '02

18 Apr '02

I need to get rendered one object's previous versions without undoing it, in order to make comparisons between those versions, a task usually required by reviewers. I've taken a quick look to the API documentation and it seems there's nothing about it (yet). Has anyone tried a snipet for this? :) Thanks in advance, Ausum

Security question concerning DTML Method
by oliver.erlewein＠sqs.de 18 Apr '02

18 Apr '02

Hi Zopistas I've got a question whether this is the correct behaviour... I give somebody the right to add "Documents, Images and Files" and don't give him the right to "Change DTML Method". Then I login as that user and I get DTML Method in the drop down list(already peculiar) and when I select it I can create a DTML Method AND upload a file to it!!!! Although when I try to change the DTML Method then I get a login window asking me to login (That's OK). So I can't change anything afterwards but I can upload what I want. This is somehow a quite drastic security breach in my humble opinion. Maybe it would help splitting the Add Right in three parts?! Regards Oliver Oh and if someone needs the exact information please contact me and I'll send it but it's a little too much for the maillist. ;-))
