Take a look at the contents of the REQUEST object. You'll probably find what you need there :-) To view the REQUEST Object contents, make a Python Script request = container.REQUEST for k in request.keys(): print k, '=', request[k] print return printed

Persistent login
by Thierry Florac 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

Hi... I'd like to keep authentication values persistent in a session, so that authentication values can be visible while accessing non protected documents or methods. I tried to do this in a Python script : request = context.REQUEST session = request['SESSION'] session['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] = request['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] but then I receive an error message : Error Type: UnpickleableError Error Value: Cannot pickle objects So what's the best way to keep track of these authentication values ?? (I'm currently using Zope-2.5.1) Thanks, Thierry -- Linux every day, keeps Dr Watson away... http://gpc.tuxfamily.org -- http://www.ulthar.net

Everything accessed above the folder a user is defined in must be public. Your description seems to suggest that you try to use cookie authentication. If this is true, disable cookie authentication for the moment and try to access the login form directly. I hope you will get a browser login dialog. Cancel it. You should get an Unauthorized page detailing what can not be accessed. If the problem does not happen with the login form, try the same with the login action and the target page.

I launched emacs with > /usr/local/bin/emacs-21.2 -q --no-site-file so I don't think it's one of my keyboard macros. And I checked the binding of C-x C-s to make sure it was running save-buffer.

When I first started using Zope accessing objects at different places in the object hiearchy was a problem. I found some workarounds and learned to cope, but I am now revisiting the issue. For specificity, consider the following folder hiearchy: R A1 B1 D1 C1 A2 B2 C2 D2 URLs would reference the somepage object in D2 using the URL R/A2/C2/D2/somepage. Now, DTML, for example, <dtml-var >, specifies an object which is located the current namespace by one of a variety of rules including acqusition. Control over the namespace is provided using <dtml-with> but using it can be cumbersome. To reference an object in the folder D2 from D1 would require wrapping the referencing <dtml-var> in a next of <dtml-with> statements which make the namespace of A2, C2, and D2 available. For a site with a deep and complicated hiearchy, this is a mess. Hard to write, hard to maintain, and very error prone. The tendancy is to make all scripts look like central mechanism wrapped in multiple with's to setup the right namespace. A better approach might be to access all nonlocal objects through a Python Script that traverses a URL parameter and returns the specified object. In this case, referencing the object foo in D2 above would be accomplished by <dtml-var name="traverse_to_object('R/A2/C2/D2/foo')"> and so forth. This should work, but it kneecaps Zopes namespace management features because it returns an object, not a name to be resolved to an object in context through bobo_traverse, acqusition, and so forth. So, finally, the question: How does one manage in an efficient and compact fashion accesses to objects stored outside of the acquisition path? There are a couple of other notational issues that are a bit confusing. If I have a folder (call it scripts) at my site root, I can reference the individual scripts by the names 'scripts.script1()'. When does this notation extend to objects stored in nested folders? One the defining notions of Zope is the equivalence of a page as specified by a URL and an object. What's the reason that something like <dtml-var name="R/A2/C2/D2/foo"> does not resolve to the name foo in the container reachable by traversing "R/A2/C2/D2" when accessed from within Zope. It does work from the Web. -dra --__--__-- Message: 8 Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2002 21:25:37 +0100 From: Chris Withers <chrisw(a)nipltd.com> Organization: New Information Paradigms To: Kirk Lowery <klowery(a)wts.edu> CC: zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] DTML, Zope and Regex Kirk Lowery wrote: > > Ben, would you mind expanding on this?

Note that this is not a true dtml-comment, as the code between tags will still appear in your output, but it's a handy trick for finding logic problems. But I would like to have a smaller alias for dtml-comment, too.

That seemed to help prevent some crashing problems, although it seemed a lot of those crashes were fixed by Python-2.1.3. So I'd like some feedback on this: Did you try ZMySQLDA-2.0.9b2 to fix problems that you were having with 2.0.8? If so, what was the effect? Zope notes: MySQLdb-0.9.2 plays nicely with Python-2.2.1; not sure if 2.6 is targeting Python-2.2 or 2.1. If you are using Python-2.2 or newer, _mysql.connection and .result are sub-classable types. There's also more support for Unicode now; not sure what the current SOTA is for Unicode in Zope. ZMySQLDA doesn't do anything with Unicode currently, but could very easily. -- Andy Dustman PGP: 0x930B8AB6 @ .net http://dustman.net/andy "Cogito, ergo sum." -- Rene Descartes "I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam." -- Popeye --__--__-- Message: 19 From: "Thomas B.

If you have a module variable named x, the array will stick around after returning. It still shouldn't be serialized, as it isn't part of your object, but I don't really have any other suggestions. Neither of these should matter but it's worth a shot. Also, double check your indentation on the for loop. Make sure that return is not inside the loop. That shouldn't matter either though... Oh, wait, one more suggestion. Don't write this as a method. Stick it in a python script or an external method.

BTreeFolder was definitely a huge advantage before Zope 2.6, because the = old=20 ZODB cache did not cope well with the fact that the __dict__ loaded all=20 40,000 sub-objects into memory as ghosts.

BTreeFolder has a problem that it doesnt store *all* of its data in the B= Tree.=20 It still has the tuple caching id and meta-type, thanks to it ObjectManag= er=20 base class.

CMFPhoto, http://www.zope.org/Members/magnus/CMFPhoto is a CMF wrapper object for the Photo product. The included skins are for plone, but there is nothing stopping you from writing own skins for it. CMFPhoto is now hosted at CMF Collective, http://sourceforge.net/projects/collective/, where I am in the process of rewriting the whole thing. The new CMFPhoto is based on CMFDefault.Image, and does not use the Photo product. Scaled images are stored in a OOBTree. It still uses ImageMagick. New feature include image rotation and slideshow. I plan enable more. (you can do quite a but with imagemagick). You can get current shapshot from here; http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/collective/CMFPhoto/ It's a moving target at the moment, but it's working. The skins need a bit of refactoring before they are finnished. I plan to release it within the next days.

The latest code is called BTreeFolder2, though the reason I changed the name is now gone and I may decide to rename it back to BTreeFolder. It's available at cvs.zope.org under /Products. The newest code stores *all* subobject data in BTrees; no more giant tuple. That giant tuple turned out to be a bit of a problem for very large folders, since every time you add or remove an item, a new multi-megabyte pickle is generated, transferred, and appended to a file. That problem is gone now. The newest code also features unit tests, a CMF-friendly version, conflict prevention, and a unique ID generation utility. BTreeFolder is useful where you need something like a big dictionary that rarely gets exposed to the user, but you want it to remain discoverable and easily manipulated in emergencies. It doesn't always take the place of something customized, but it's definitely more scalable than ever.

Re: [Zope] I don't want WebDav
by Paul Tiemann 11 Jul '02

> Is there a way to disable WebDav when downloading word documents? I had the same problem yesterday. There may be other ways to solve it, but this is how I did it: Look in your Z2.log (or wherever your access log is) and you will see that MsWord sends an OPTIONS request to Zope for the document file that it is trying to open. I found that the default behavior of almost all Zope objects is to reply to OPTIONS requests by setting a few dav oriented headers, and giving lots of options (HEAD,PUT,POST,PROPFIND,MOVE,DELETE,etc)... You can find the method I'm talking about in your lib/python/webdav/Resource.py file under the OPTIONS method of the Resource class. To solve the problem in my case, I copied that method into my product so that when an OPTIONS request comes for my product it finds MY method instead of inheriting it from Resource. I changed my method so that it doesn't output any of the Dav oriented headers, and it also gives less allowed options... After that was done my problem cleared up. Here is a copy of the modified method that you'll need to put into your product code: (Note the two commented lines, and the change for the 'Allow' header) def OPTIONS(self, REQUEST, RESPONSE): """Retrieve communication options.""" #self.dav__init(REQUEST, RESPONSE) RESPONSE.setHeader('Allow', 'GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE') RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Length', 0) #RESPONSE.setHeader('DAV', '1,2', 1) RESPONSE.setStatus(200) return RESPONSE One other note: In my case, MsWord sent OPTIONS requests for the document it was retrieving, and ALSO for the parent directory of the document. You may need to make sure that any OPTIONS request for your document as well as for the product that is creating the documents both return the limited OPTIONS. (In my case, Word was trying to lock documents, but since I use cookie-based authentication, it doesn't send correct login information in the request, and a very inconvenient password dialog box would pop up any time someone tried to view MsOffice documents) Good luck with the solution- Paul

Interesting RE problem
by Jason Bush 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

Whether or not allowing the re module is safe, I added it to our test server. I notice an interesting 'bug?' however (more likely user error). I created a simple PythonScript object inside of a TestProduct, where the PythonScript is the view of the TestProduct(inherits from DTMLMethod). When I create an instance of my Test object and save it, then click on the View tab, I get an: > Unauthorized to access compile in this context error (re.compile(str)) HOWEVER, if I open a new browser window and type in the URL of the object with no auth (normal web user), it renders fine, without error. Any enlightenment? -- Jason Bush --- jason(a)nol.org Nebraska Online http://www.nol.org
