How to deal with the famous ZCatalog + SiteRoot bug?
by Garikoitz Araolaza 17 May '02

17 May '02

The Zoper combining Catalogaware ZClasses and SiteRoot (or VHM) will quickly find the well known bug that makes object catalog themselves with the virtual path and not with the physical path. I've found hundreds of Wikis and pages dealing with the problem and possible solutions, but the only place somebody suggests me an understable solution is in the Popoto installation documentation: http://www.zope.org/Members/dgeorgieff/popoto/PopotoInstall CORRECT A CatalogAware bug CatalogAware Zclass have a small problem when working infront of Apache and a VirtualHostMonster. You need to edit $HOMEZOPE/lib/python/Products/Zcatalog/CatalogAwareness.py and change url() (start ligne 152): ...... def url(self, ftype=urllib.splittype, fhost=urllib.splithost): """Return a SCRIPT_NAME-based url for an object.""" uri = string.join(self.getPhysicalPath(), "/") return urllib.unquote(uri) def summary(self, num=200): ..... After restarting Zope it works fine. Should I directly replace 15 lines of code with that couple of lines? Why did the original programmer bother writing 15 when he could do it in 2 lines? I promise to write a HOW-TO with the solution if I finally can fix the bug in my sites. Thanks. ;-) Gari _________________________________________________________ Aurki Euskara hutsezko bilatzailea http://www.aurki.com Zure laguntza behar dugu. Egin zaitez editore!

Zope Permissions
by Richard McKinley 17 May '02

17 May '02

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to create your own permissions ie. a new row on the security screen which may or may not be assigned to a role. Code could be written which checks if the current user has this permission: <dtml−if expr="_.SecurityCheckPermission('NewPermission', this())"> ..

Re: ZFireBirdDA connection string Q's
by Derek Basch 17 May '02

David, It looks like it was the white space that was causing it to fail. I had it working 30 seconds after I got your email. The ZFireBirdDA connection string works fine if you convert long file names to ******~1 format. (ie. localhost:c:\progra~1\test.gdb). I dont know why I didn't think of it sooner.

avoiding dtml recursion
by Warnes, Gregory R 17 May '02

17 May '02

Hi all I want to have a dtml file <standard_html_footer> that includes the contents of a <standard_html_footer> defined higher in the hierarchy. I tried <center>PRE-RELEASE VERSION</center> <dtml-with aq_parent only> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> </dtml-with> </body> </html> This works in the directory where this dtml-method is, however, I get another 'PRE-RELEASE VERSION' tacked on for every level down I go. What is the proper way to get around this? Thanks -Greg LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged. It is intended for the addressee(s) only.

Zope 2.5.1 still dumping core on SGI
by Malcolm E Davis 17 May '02

17 May '02

When I initially posted here it was suggested that my core dump problems may have been due to a missing shared library. However I do not find an error message in either the stdout from the server or in the Z2.log file or in a detail.log file I generated by adding the -M flag to the command line. For the record here again is what I am doing and what happens. I downloaded the Zope-2.5.1-src distribution. I untarred it onto my SGI running IRIX 6.5 and ran /usr/freeware/bin/python2 w_pcgi.py. (Note that this is the current SGI freeware package of python which is version 2.1.1) Following that I ran ./start -M var/detail.log. (Note that the ./start script inserts the -D flag.) I then accessed the web server using Netscape (either 4.72 under WindowsNT or 4.79 under IRIX). I received the initial page with no problem. I clicked on the "Zope Management Interface" link and on the client I get the three frames, but only the top frame fills and I get two "Document contains no data" dialog boxes. On the server, the server has dumped core and restarted. The messages from the server that I can find (i.e. stdout, var/Z2.log, and var/detail.log) report no errors, other than the server restarting twice. I've included copies of each of these three reports below. Any suggestion on how to fix the problem or at least generate (of find) any additional error messages would be appreciated.

periods in objects; i.e. hostnames, IPs, etc
by Chas Wareing 17 May '02

17 May '02

Can someone take a look at this- regarding periods in object names Generally I would "_['hostname']", but there are already double quotes for the zsql object call- <dtml-in "qrySelectKey(sqlTable=sqlTable, sqlKey=_['sqlKey'], sqlKeyStr=_['hostname'])"> ... </dtml-in> the above fails finding the object named by the first portion of the hostname (up to the period) thanks in advance Chas. mailto:c3w@juicypop.net JuicyPOP, Inc.

Zope on an ISP server
by Thomas Pfaff 17 May '02

17 May '02

Hello everyone. I'm a complete newbie to zope but my first experiments have made me like it very much. However I have two problems for which I couldn't find appropriate documentation so I decided to ask here. My first thing is. There is no instruction on how to make Zope actually displaying the contents I created when somebody goes to "www.myhost.com". I can access the Zope interface at localhost:9673 but that's it. At the moment I'm running Zope on debian-Linux. My next question is a little bit more difficult and in fact the more important one. My homepage is hosted by an ISP which allows me only to have cgi-scripts and the other standard html stuff. Explicitly no databases and of course I don't have access to the server itself. I may just upload files and add cgi-scripts. As far as I know the server is an Apache. With this information, do you think it is possible to have Zope running on this system? If yes, what should I do? If you need more information, please tell me, and I will get everything. Thanks in advance Thomas PS: I'm not yet on this mailing list. So please reply directly to me, thanks.

Not knowing Python very well, I could'nt manage to find a way to build a dictionary in a predefined sort sequence: any attempt produces a "random" result. Any hint? TIA, p.t.
