Sorry Sean, I relied to the wrong email.. -----Original Message----- From: sean.upton(a)uniontrib.com [mailto:sean.upton@uniontrib.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 1:21 PM To: lmcdonnell(a)protonenergy.com; sean.upton(a)uniontrib.com Subject: RE: [Zope] Accessing MS Exchange/Outlook through Zope Albeit not the normal use for this, you want a user folder that can provide access to the logins on your Exchange/NT setup; the user folder would need to be able to list all users, not just authenticate them; you would then have your application iterate over the list of all logins, and write some HTML form values or something... I've never done this, but I'm pretty sure this is the easiest approach. I would start investigating user folders, and I would suggest that there are likely some other folks on this list that may have some more detailed and specific insight on this than I do; hopefully they can provide some ideas.

Bug in Zope?
by VanL 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Hello, We are doing a migration of some old data (stored in a standard format in text files) into the ZODB. We have two methods: ImportCDF is a pythonscript. It receives a filename and batchname (these terms will be explained in a moment.) It gives the file name to the second (external) function, ReadCDF. This part appears to be working. ReadCDF opens the external file puts each record into a dict. It then returns these dict/records one at a time, using yield. This function appears to be working. Import CDF then resumes control. It first takes the batchname and uses it for the id if a batch info object (a custom object that we have created). Then it loops over the records returned from ReadCDF, creating an object for each returned record. Here is the problem: We run this with one cdf (the external text file) and it works correctly. We then run it with a second cdf and it runs correctly. Then we run it with a third, and it fails with: Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access POSException in this context The function in ImportCDF that throws this exception is: # Loop through our CDF dictionary records for cdfrec in cdf: cemail = cdfrec['Contact Email'] czopeid = cdfrec['CID'] # If the customer exists, getattr it. Otherwise create it. if(not hasattr(customers,czopeid)): #print "Adding Customer Info for "+czopeid try: customers.manage_addProduct['MigrationManager'].manage_addCustomerInfo(id=czopeid) objects_created = objects_created + 1 except ZODB.POSException.ReadConflictError: continue Afterwords, the script will throw this same exception for the cdf input files for which it previously worked; i.e., the error is persistent. However, if you cut and paste the contents of ImportCDF into a new script (e.g., Import-CDF) and run it, it will work correctly until we run it on the bad CDF. After that, the error will persist in the new script. We cannot find any way in which the third (bad) CDF is different than the first two (good) CDFs. They are all the output of the same parser, and all validate as being correctly formatted. The data has no binary characters or anything, this is just an XMLish data file. Further, the function that actually deals with the file seems to have no trouble with it. This entire sequence of events is quite baffling to us, especially the fact that the error persists after it has been thrown once -- the script never functions correctly again. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. More specific information available on request. This is Zope 2.5.1, without the 6-14 hotfix (yet), running on python 2.2.0 on FreeBSD 4. Products installed: CatalogQuery, ExternalEditor, LocalFS, and the package with our custom objects (mostly based off Kube). Thanks, VanL

Exchange fortunately speaks SMTP (among other things), so sending mail from Zope to Exchange mailboxes is likely not a big issue; just point your mailhost to your exchange server's IP or o a box that can relay to your exchange server.

Printable page

Is there a good example of creating a "printable page" for the CMF content. i.e. http://servername.host.com:8080/CMF/dir/index_html?pp=1 In other words... click on a link that reveals only the document content without headers or footers?

Passing of a Folder Object to a Python Script
by Edward Pollard 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Hello Folks, A fairly straightfoward question. I'm trying to create some scripts that allow the folder and file structure of the content to control dynamicly the content of the menus that present said content. In a directory are folders. These folders are the "Menu Headings" of the content. Beneath each "Menu Heading" are some links in a "submenu" determined by the files within the associated folder. If I call the submenu script explicitly in the correct context, it generates the correct content. However the menu items should not be hard coded so I want to pass the folder to the script which generates the submenu content. I have it all figured out except the parameter passing. I have included the relevant part of the Page Template at the bottom. The script menuWidget looks for folders in the current context. The script subMenuWidget looks for Page Templates in the current context, but needs to be modified to accept an ObjectManager object as a parameter. (the "items" object from the "menu" repetition loop) I've looked around, fidgeted, snooped, and guessed. No luck. I can't seem to call it correctly. I believe I only need to add a parameter to the script in the ZMI, and change these lines <div tal:define="submenu here/org/subMenuWidget.py" tal:omit-tag=""> (from the template) submenuitems = context.objectValues('Page Template') (from subMenuWidget.py) For completeness I will include the code of subMenuWidget, but I doubt its relevant to this semantic and syntactic question. Thanks in Advance. Edward PS - if anyone has any good ideas on how to sort the collection of ObjectManager objects based on the numeric content of the isRanked comment, advice is appreciated. >From the Page Template: ------------------------------------------- <div tal:define="menu here/menuWidget.py" tal:omit-tag=""> <div tal:condition="menu" tal:omit-tag=""> <div tal:repeat="items menu" tal:omit-tag=""> <P></P><b><font color="#0033CC"><span tal:replace="items/title_or_id">folder id</span></font></b><br> <font size="-1"> <div tal:define="submenu here/org/subMenuWidget.py" tal:omit-tag=""> <span tal:condition="submenu" tal:omit-tag=""> <span tal:repeat="subitems submenu" tal:omit-tag=""> <span tal:replace="subitems/title_or_id">subfolder</span> </span> </span> <p tal:condition="not:submenu"><b>Submenu Here</b></p> </div> </font> <p></p> </div> </div> <p tal:condition="not:menu"><b>Main Menu Here</b></p> </div> ------------------------------------------- content of subMenuWidget.py ------------------------------------------- submenuitems = context.objectValues('Page Template') d1 = {} returnitems = [] for eachItem in submenuitems: if eachItem.getProperty('isRanked',0): index = eachItem.getProperty('isRanked',1000) while d1.has_key(index): index = index + 1 d1[index] = eachItem keys = d1.keys() keys.sort() for key in keys: dictObject = d1[key] returnitems.append(dictObject) return returnitems -------------------------------------

RE: [Zope] Rules on passing variables from dmtl-python-dtml

Thanks this was a big help. I know in the future I'll need to do more scripting. -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of DA Loeffler Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 8:33 AM To: McDonnell, Larry Cc: 'Zope@Zope.

Its scope does not extend to the calling DTML method. The script returns the value of y, and then the DTML does nothing with it - it doesn't tie it to a local variable name, so the variable no longer has a name (technical term: it has zero reference count) and it is cleaned up by the Python garbage collector. Hence, either give it a name in the DTML method's namespace: <dtml-let y="int_to_string(num)"> <dtml-var y> </dtml-let> or, if you just want to use the variable once, use it as soon as you get it: <dtml-var "int_to_string(num)"> Alternatively, amend your script to: request.set('y',y) instead of the return statement, and then y will be accessible within the DTML method, and anywhere else called in the processing of that Zope request.
