MailHost errors
by Colin Fox 23 May '02

23 May '02

Hey, all. I'm invoking a dtml-method from a script, and the dtml-method has a dtml-sendmail call within it. I'm getting a Error Type: KeyError Error Value: MailHost when I try to execute my dtml-method. I have a MailHost object in the parent directory. I was assuming that acquisition would allow a subfolder to see the root folder's MailHost object. Am I wrong? I have another dtml method in my root folder, and that successfully sends out emails with the same MailHost object, so I know the MailHost configuration, and my sendmail configuration, is fine. One other difference is that the root folder dtml method is invoked by another dtml method, and the dtml method in my subfolder is invoked by a script. Does that make a difference?

Automatically login from a XRON method...
by Josef Meile 23 May '02

23 May '02

Hi, I just want to automatically login a user from a XRON Method and then make some other things that because of the Zope security restrictions can't be done as the "anonymous" user. I've searched in the newsgroup but the only answers are by using cookies. I've tried the following code but it only works when I execute it from a web browser: <dtml-if expr="portal_membership.isAnonymousUser()"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('__ac_name','myUser')"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('__ac_password','myPassword')"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('myMethod')"> <dtml-else> My code </dtml-if> This also: External method: def loginCronUser(self): self.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setCookie('__ac_name','myUser') self.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setCookie('__ac_password','myPassword') But I always get the following error message: Failed to trigger event. Type=bci.ServerError Val=302 (File: Unknown Line: Unknown) I guess the problem is that XRON Methods don't do that through a web browser, so the cookie can't be set up. Is there any other way of doing it? Thanks in advanced, Josef.

by chpeer2002 23 May '02

23 May '02

problem: Client side: 5 files should be found automatically, then be displayed in order to be accepted by the user, then they should be compressed to a gz-File and afterwards uploaded to a server. 1)Does it make sense to use a Java Applet? 2)Java Applets and DTML? 3)Could you describe me a way how to solve this problem? Thanks for any help! Chris

RE: [Zope] Zope and Java

Well, if compared to PHP, you mean the ability to come up with solutions using Object-Oriented methodology, design patterns, and the like, then yes. If you mean you want to leverage existing Java class libraries and APIs and are comfortable with the benefits and limitations of something like JPE, then yes. If you want to go to sleep every evening with the knowledge that all your Java skills transfer quite well to Python, and that a Python solution will take much less effort and time, then yes. If you want to write a lot of Java code, then no. A brief closing thought: Java has nice frameworks, but is a crappy language. Zope has nice frameworks and a beautifully engineered language. PHP has crappy frameworks and a poor language. Sean -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Marx [mailto:oliver@tekk.dk] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 8:03 AM To: Zope@Zope.

Authorization by Hostname or Address
by Pierre Godefroy 23 May '02

23 May '02

I have read and applied the Zope "How-To" concerning authorization by Hostname or Address at : http://www.zope.org/Members/muesli/AuthByAddress It works, but I would like to be able to open up access for a whole domain without having the user being requested to type in a login, even if there is no password control. Is there a way to create a kind "anonymous" user in a "User Folder" who would only have a domain restriction and no "login" atached to it? It seems that any user has of course to be created with an id and hence this id is being requested as the login. Pierre Godefroy

Thanks, but we do not want to use Apache as a front-end, at least for the time being. We are looking for a "purely" Zope solution.

Joust to navigate Wiki ?
by Marcio Marchini 23 May '02

23 May '02

Hi, Has anybody tried to use Joust (http://www.ivanpeters.com/) to show the Wiki topic pages in a hierarchy ? I am aware of http://www.zope.org/Members/Ioan/WikiForum but it shows Wiki pages all at the same level in Joust, whereas I want to show the actual Wiki pages/nesting. Basically a global view of the wiki tree, just like the "contents" page in a ZWiki, like http://zwiki.org/FrontPage/map#FrontPage for example thanks, marcio

RE: [Zope] ZWiki, file uploads: how ?

By looking at http://www.zwiki.org/UploadsModificationDiffs I > had the impression that 0.9.9 would upload into > uploads/[page-name]_files , no ? Did I miss anything ? By creating the "uploads" folder myself, manually, ZWiki now puts all files in this "uploads" folder (a bit better, but still not ideal as conflicts may happen). So, it probably did not have permissions to "Add Folder" I guess. But it still does not create the [page-name]_files folder under "uploads", despite the fact that I said "Add Folder" is available to "Authenticated User". Not sure why it is still failing. Anybody ? I guess the ZWiki site could have a page explaining this setup in detail. thanks, marcio
