RE: [Zope] I can't seem to get site-packages to work under Win32

This doesn't seem to work for me. I checked and I have all the files you mentioned already there. I did have other copies around so I cleaned them up and only have the files you mention. I still get: Error Type: ImportError Error Value: The _imaging C module is not installed I also have ActivePython installed could that be causing a problem? -----Original Message----- From: Julian Melville [mailto:jmelville@selectaustralasia.com.au] Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2002 11:59 PM To: Friedlander Paul Subject: RE: [Zope] I can't seem to get site-packages to work under Win32 > Has anybody successfully installed PIL in Zope 2.5.1 under win32? Yep. I put the PIL folder into ZOPEROOT\lib\python, and the _imaging.pyd fole in ZOPEROOT\bin\lib\win32. I think I saw an email to that effect somewhere on a list. I also added the tcl83.dll and tk83.dll files to the ZOPEROOT\bin\DLLs folder because PIL needs the Tk stuff in there for some reason. Julian.

Hi ! I just made a script called by a form , that create one Object and fill its properties obj=context.manage_addProduct['MyProduct'].MyObj.createInObjectManager(id, {}) for p in baseFields[0].keys(): obj.propertysheets.propertie1.manage_changeProperties({p : request[baseFields[0][p]]}) the problem is that this script is called by Anonymous users and the object is stored in a temporary folder that i can moderate so in this folder, anonymous can "Add MyObjs" and "Manage Properties" but it's not secure at all !! but if i don't add thoose two permissions i can't create or edit the properties of this object :-( any solution ? thx a lot !!

What is PrincipiaSearchSource et al?
by Felix Ulrich-Oltean 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

Hi What is the Principia* stuff all about? I've seen it dotted around the Zope code and I'm curious. Also, I'm building a Zope product and wondering if I have to worry about defining a PrincipiaSearchSource method or anything else, as I've seen it mentioned in the same breath as ZCatalog a few times. Any light on the subject appreciated. Felix.

Email help
by Colin Fox 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

Hi, all. I'm setting up a system where I need to be able to email an HTML report upon demand to an arbitrary email address. I found this script on the 'net, which looks to be just the thing I need. However, I can't figure out how to invoke it. I've attached the script (and it's called sendreport in my zope installation), and here is the piece of python script that calls it: context.sendreport(email='me(a)myemail.com', emailtype='1', \ reportid='summary', disclaimer_text='') When I execute this, I get a key error on 'summary'. summary is a page template (which requires no parameters) which builds an HTML page. Am I missing something? How can I get this to work? Thanks in advance, Colin -- Colin Fox cfox(a)cfconsulting.ca CF Consulting Inc. GPG Fingerprint: D8F0 84E7 E7CC 5C6C 9982 F1A7 A3EB 6EA3 BC97 572F

Thank you Dieter, just one thing I forgot to mention... >>But while compiling the python modules I get this: >> >> ...../Products/PythonScripts/zbytecodehacks/USExec.py:425>>: SyntaxWarning: >>local name 'error_msg' in '_WriteGuardWrapper' shadows >>use of 'error_msg' as >>global in nested scope 'model_handler' >> def _WriteGuardWrapper(): >> >> ...../Products/PythonScripts/zbytecodehacks/closure.py:12>>1: SyntaxWarning: >>local name 'n' in 'make_adder' shadows use of 'n' as >>global in nested scope 'adder' >> def make_adder(n): >These are warnings only. Ignore them... ...following this, the script exits: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There were errors dUring Python module compilation. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/zope. So, no new zope install... But how can this be? I just downloaded the latest zope-2.5.1_2 and the ports installer 'found' my python 2.1.3, installed yesterday. What's wrong? Ken

Z2.log user name problem
by Dennis Allison 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

I'm using out-of-the-box user authentication with CookieCrumbler. Everything seems fine except that the identified user in the Z2.log file is wrong. The site structure is something like root--foldera--folderb--userroot--stuff--... | | acl_users acl_users & CookieCrumbler The root acl_users authenticates administrative folks. There is no CookieCrumbler in the root folder. Anonymous users get sent off to the userroot where they authenticate with the second acl_users. But, their user name apparently never gets set properly for logging via the Z2.log. Internally, everything is set properly with _.SecurityGetUser().gtetUserName() returning the user's login name, etc. I assume there is some method which needs to be called to update the username for logging purposes when the login is upgraded, but I've been unable to find it. Or is this a problem caused by the lack of a CookieCrumbler in the root folder....

String splitting problem
by zope 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

Hi I have a problem with splitting a string . I am using XSL for rendering my pages <hrow tal:repeat="rt python:container.oms.john.get_monthdet(mon=request.form['mon'])"> <field><div tal:replace="python:string.split(rt[1])"/></field> </hrow> I want to split the result set field rt[1] based on white space rt[1] can be datetime or string. But this throws an error when rendered If I try this in html: <tr tal:repeat="rt python:container.oms.john.get_monthdet(mon=request.form['mon'])"> <td><div tal:replace="python:string.split(rt[1])"/></td> </tr> Error Type: TALESError Error Value: exceptions.NameError on global name 'split' is not defined in "", at line 12, column 5 But the Zope Quick Reference says that split can be used Could you please guide me on how to go about this problem Thanks and Best Regards John Kunchandy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Displaying different files of server file-system of different format
by Ulla Theiss 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

Hello mailing-list, I'm developping site to display the contents of different files, in different formats. Zope should be used as front-end. The files are checked out form another system on the same machine. This means: 1. I need access to the server file-system (LocalFS?) 2. The name of the file is determined dynamically during the user interaction 3. The format of the file (pdf, html, gif, ...) is determined dynamically, too Unfortunately I have nothing but problems with it. I am completely in the dark. 1. To display a file from the local file-system, I created a dtml-file with the following contents: <dtml-var "localFS['tmp']['kaese.pdf']"> The problem is, that the file is displayed in ascii-format, not in pdf. 2. Created the file in python product code self.display_page = File('C:\\tmp\\kaese.pdf', globals()) Zope displayed the problem ------------------------snip snap ----------------------------- > Resource not found > Sorry, the requested resource does not exist. > Check the URL and try again. > Resource: File.File instance at 01F8422C ------------------------snip snap ----------------------------- Is it possible to create a object to publish (like DTMLFile, ImageFile, ....) without defining the format (or type) in advance? Can please, please anybody give me a hint? Do I use a completely wrong way? It might help me, if you can help me by a part of my problem. Thank you very much in advance, Ulla Theiß.
