Forgot my admin password
by Robert Oschler 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Well I get the dummy award. I first installed Zope several months ago. Because of work items I was unable to study it after installing it, and now I'm finally getting to work on it. So I'm following the "The Zope Bible" and navigate to the management page (/manage) and immediately realize I forgot my site admin password. I am root on the SuSE Linux 7.3 Pro box it runs on. Is there a way for me to change or discover the password? Sheepishly, thx

Can ptl do this?
by KevinL 28 Aug '02

Hey all, I have a macro, as follows: <metal:block define-macro="std"> <tr> <td colspan="3" class="help"> <i><metal:block define-slot="help"></metal:block></i> </td> </tr> <tr> <th align="right" valign="top"> <metal:block define-slot="name">NAME</metal:block> </th> <td colspan="2" class="textEntry" valign="top"> <metal:block define-slot="content">CONTENT</metal:block> </td> </tr> </metal:block> It renders a three-item block, consisting of name, value, and help text. This is the "pda" version - it gets called for clients that are pda's, and stacks the help text above the name/value, so it displays nicely on a pda - the normal version strings them side-by-side. The html designer's come back to me and said "that's great, but I've got instances where there is no help text - and I'd like the tr to not appear when there's no help text". I really don't want to have to pull this whole thing into python - at the moment, the guys doing html have control over this, it's the smallest item they do have control over, and with it they can fairly significantly change the layout of the site (in conjunction with styles etc). Ideally, I need some way to put a conditional into the macro, so that the first tr is only rendered if there's content for the help slot. Is this doable? KevinL

FTP login fail with VHM
by Jaroslav Lukesh 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Hi all, I have computer (W2k) that running Zope with VHM (simple virtual mode without apache). If I have defined some mappings in that VHM, then FTP login fails for any user (defined for subweb only) except superuser. Console says that Login success that is curious. VHM mappings: LSH/www/www.k-net.cz *.k-net.cz/www/www.k-net.cz Zope runs on servers: w2k.sit.k-net.cz (web), LSH.sit.k-net.cz (development) FTP clients are connects from w2k.sit.k-net.cz (MS terminal server) and from LSH.sit.k-net.cz (local computer where I develop webs). Boths connections on both servers fails. If VHM mapping is empty, or when I running locally with filled mappings (then LSH.sit.k-net.cz have name LSH only) without any network (dialup only) then FTP login is OK. FTP access is done via ftp://ip_address:8021/www/www.k-net.cz What I am doing bad? It is caused by internal M$ DNS (it runnings on same machine as Zope)? Many thanks, J. Lukesh

Re: [Zope] Photo problem

In adition to extract metadata from the image, the product extension makes Photo to store all image instances in the jpg format, thus making them viewable by all browsers.

Attn: Zope does not start, fuc*ed M$ networking!!!
by Jaroslav Lukesh 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Hi all, Today I want to start Zope and it says "host not found". I was add MS networking services only (W95) for access to shared files (i Have disabled logon feature). critical code in http_server.py if not ip: self.log_info('Computing default hostname', 'warning') 578>>> ip = socket.gethostbyname (socket.gethostname()) try: Host name is not defined!!! So I remove Mß networking and Zope runs as before. Linux is diamond, M$ is shit! Oughh my chief, I need no windows, I want Linux! Regards JL.

Non-live edits to live site
by Jim Kutter 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

I went live with part of my site in Zope and all went well (thanks for the mountains of help from this group). But I've ran into a bit of a sticky wicket that I hadn't thought of until now. We (me - Developer and our Designer) primarily use external editors on Win98 and FTP to do what we need to do, then upload the changes back to Zope (I use Xemacs, she uses DreamWeaver) - however the version control object doesn't catch FTP transactions, so whatever we upload is live, thereby eliminating the ability to test new things (particularly new scripts - which don't work with version control anyway). My question is - short of setting up a ZEO cluster (which I'm not sure would solve it anyway), or having a zope install on our desktops, how can I setup some ability to do new things to the site without them being live right away? -jim

Plone at Highway Africa
by Jean Jordaan 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Hi all On the 22 August 2002 we (me and Roché Compaan) introduced journalists at the Highway Africa conference (http://www.highwayafrica.org.za) to the Plone CMF during a 3-hour workshop. Highway Africa was (a small) part of the World Summit on Sustainable Development, taking place in Johannesburg, South Africa, at the moment. The workshop was a lot of fun: we nursed the roomful of journalists, some young, some veterans, from all over Africa, through the process of joining the portal, customizing their homepages, visiting each others' homepages, and adding a news item. Then half of them got the "Reviewer" role, and rejected the news item of the person next to them with a comment. The author revised their article, resubmitted, and the reviewers published it. For most of the participants, this was their first encounter with collaborative online publishing, and *almost* too good to be true. They wanted to continue using it. A big barrier is simply knowledge and connectivity --- there are many online publishing forums, but if your only access is via expensive dialup at a semi-legal internet cafe, then you're not in the position to figure out which ones are good and reliable, and how to use them. "Open Source" was a recurring refrain during the conference, but for the majority of people it was a buzzword without substance. In his presentation, Roché told where the movement comes from, and gave some definitions. Many people came to us afterwards, asking for more names, papers and sources of information about Open Source, its acceptance, business models and economic viability studies about it. It was clear that there is a great deal of sober interest among policy makers who are beginning to see Open Source as a valuable resource, both as infrastructure and as community. Among the organisations who expressed interest or support were the Acacia Project (http://www.idrc.ca/ACACIA/) the Association for Progressive Communications (http://www.apc.org/) the European Centre for Development Policy Management (http://www.ecdpm.org/) and the Department of Communications (http://docweb.pwv.gov.za/) In their presentation, the DoC spoke of moving the Department's operations to Open Source, and of advocating Open Source at other government departments. They also want to look for appropriate channels to promote Open Source in the private sector, but were unsure how this might best be approached. According to Bridget McBean of the ECDPM, Torped's Easy Publisher is doing very well in Europe. She isn't familiar with Zope, Open Source, online publishing or whatever, but she does know that many organizations use Easy Publisher. Roché's talk is online at: http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za/highwayafrica-opensource-talk.html http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za/highwayafrica.html We'd like to try building on the publishing platform that we presented during our workshop. About the workshop: as it was done live on the internet, it's still accessible. Here it is: http://demo.upfrontsystems.co.za/plone Besides the finger exercises, there are a couple of good articles. Look at this one: http://demo.upfrontsystems.co.za/plone/Members/baraka/News_Item.2002-08-22.… We aim to contact the workshop attendees and invite them to continue using the portal for publishing. It would be great if a real space for collaboration could emerge. Regards, -- Jean Jordaan Upfront Systems http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za
