Yes, showing REQUEST in the target did indeed solve the problem: It was Formulator not using the name of the field only as a variable name, but a name of field_<name>. Now this finally seems to work as I intended. Thanks to you all for your hints, it helped a lot to know where to look. Dag

TextIndexNG and mime type
by Kevin Carlson 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

I just installed TextIndexNG and I cannot seem to get it to create an index on existing catalog context. I keep getting the error(s): "text/x-unknown-content-type" not registered in registry "converters" or, "application/octet-stream" not registered in registry "converters" or something similar. The first error message occurs if the content_type is application/octet-stream. The second error occurs only on selected items that have content_type of application/pdf. Can anyone offer an idea as to what is going on? Thanks, Kevin

Re: [Zope] hidding acl_users folder
by Jaroslav Lukesh 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

| Odesílatel: markus <mama1(a)gmx.de> | is there a way to hide the acl_users folder in ZMI for special users? Do not give permission to view management screen and manage users to acl_users folder to specified group of users in his security tab. Do not forget to remove "acquire permission setting" and put these rights to manager and groups what you need to view acl. Regards JL.

location of tmp-file while uploading a file
by markus 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

hi, while uploading a file through the ZMI, i'd tried to locate this file on the filesystem on my linux box. with 'df' i saw that the space on /var was used. i've tried to locate the file, but i've had no success. then i used a simple "du -sb /var > out1 && sleep 10 && du -sb /var > out2 && diff -a out1 out2" to find the file. but there was no diff!! but meanwhile /var used about 10MB more space. any help? markus

I took a cue from NuxUserGroups and added a module to my product that overrides the BasicUser.getRolesInContext and BasicUser.allowed methods to also add the result of __ac_local_roles_for_user__(self) to the local roles. I'd rather not be modifying standard Zope objects, but I don't see another way to give a user roles depending on a relationship between its other roles and the folder's name; __ac_local_roles__ when called doesn't get passed the user.

Q: Interested in a Zope/Plone CD at next week's OSCOM?
by Paul Everitt 18 Sep '02

18 Sep '02

Howdy all. As a way to promote the Zope/Plone presence at next week's OSCOM Berkeley conference (Jim, Alan, and I are on the program, info below), I was thinking about putting together a little CD to hand out. Basically I'll burn Andy McKay's installer package with perhaps some last-minute surprises. I'm only planning to do this, though, for people that attend the conference. For a more substantial effort, I'll pitch in with others that are working on the same thing. Thus I'm trying to gauge demand: who is planning on going to the conference and is interested in such a beastie? Please email me directly for responses. Thanks! --Paul OSCOM - Open Source Content Management Conference September 25th - 27th 2002, Berkeley, California http://www.oscom.org/conferences/berkeley2002/

Diacriticals in ZMI
by Charlie Reiman 18 Sep '02

18 Sep '02

My problem is the ZMI doesn't seem to be setting an encoding. Mozilla 1.1 notices this and displays all 8 bit characters as '?'. So 'Re'sume`' now shows up as 'R?sum?'. So my questions are: 1) How do I set the ZMI codepage or encoding so the browser knows what's going on? 2) Is there a way to enter é et al. into ZMI Title boxes and have them work rather than entering 8 bit characters? I've tried setting the locale via -L but that isn't helping me any. It seems to refuse to accept most of the locales listed by 'locale -a' and those that Zope accepts seem to result in a non-responsive ZMI.
