Zope Requests - POST vs. GET
by fowlertrainer＠anonym.hu 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

Hello zope, In the PHP/Perl/CGI I get the Post, and Get variables in another array. This thechique is prevent to merge the Post/Get variables. So if I get the (hided) POST variable named X, and use it to do anything, the common user don't see it. But in Zope I see that all of the variables placed in the request "object", and if anyone create a dummy Get variables, then it is do same thing: <input type="hidden" name="x" id="x" value="nnn"> post is same as: mysite?x=nnn So: the user is can do same effect like my hidden field. Can I separate these arguments/variables as php/perl ? Thanx: KK -- Best regards, fowlertrainer mailto:fowlertrainer@anonym.hu

Changing the Appearance of a Local File System Object
by Asad Habib 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

Hello. I have a folder that I have created at the root level and inside this folder I have placed one Local File System object. The Local File System object contains two File objects. When I view the Local File System object by clicking on the 'View' option provided by the management interface, I can see that it contains two File objects. What I would like to do is to change the way that these File objects are displayed. Specifically, I would like to show only certain attributes that these File objects have and hide others. Right now, the following attributes are shown: type, icon, size, and last modified time(mtime). I would like to hide the size and last modified time(mtime) attributes. I want these attributes to be set but I do not want their values to show. FYI, I am using the Local File System Product. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Asad __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/

Install problem of Debian package
by Sumiya Sakoda 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

Hello, I am using Zope Debian sid package, because I'd like to use Plone. Today, for other reason, I have to reconstruct Zope environent. Then, I tried installation by apt-get, but I found there is a problem of zope-formulator package. It says, postinst cannot determine the version of python used in /usr/sbin/zope-z2 ... please file a bug report. After that I get source package and rebuild by myself, but same problem still remains. I don't know much about Debian system so that I don't know this is a package problem or system problem. Does anyone help me? TIA - Sumiya Sakoda <sakoda(a)toyoake.or.jp>

15 Dec '03

Can anyone point me in the right direction to explore the BTree Folder as I'm currently using the Default Folder on my live Zope/Plone Site and would like to change my Folders to BTreeFolders to handle more than a few thousabd objects obviously on my development server (Test & re-Test )prior to deploying onto my Web Apache/Zope Server that is live and kicking. I have read the Zope Bible but I can't not find a reference to BTree Folders . Also DirectoryStorage and DBtab would advantageous - just the url or procedure. Thanks 4 yr attention .

The login page should contain the destination uri, and should not depend on getting them from a query parameter copied from a previous page. So this example does not argue strongly for a combination of GET and POST. IMHO, the two should not be mixed because they have different semantics. A POST is intended for sending information to the server to apply to the resource designated by the current uri, a GET is for requesting a new page designated by the uri. I think it is wise to keep them separated. Cheers, Tom P

Displaying the Contents of a Local File System Object
by Asad Habib 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

Hello. Does anyone know how to iterate over the contents of a 'Local File System' object? I have two 'File' objects that lie within the 'Local File System' object. I cannot use the objectValues method with the dtml-in or tal:repeat tags since this method is only defined for folders not for 'Local File System' objects. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Asad

Zope server frequently stops to respond without any error messages
by Petter Holmström 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

Hello everybody, Our new Zope/Plone2 server is behaving really strangely. The server can't stay up for more than a few seconds, then it will stop responding. We've noticed that the best way to get the server to freeze is to open plone with a webbrowser, and then rapidly click on two links so that the first request isn't finished. Then the browser will wait and wait and wait until a timeout is reached. When we SSH into the server the python-processes are still running. There are no entries in any of the error logs (including the operating system logs). If we kill the python-processes, the webbrowser will immediately respond with a "Connection Refused" message. Have any of you experienced any similar things before? Any suggestions on how we should track down the error are appreciated. We're using Zope 2.6.2 / Plone 2.0 RC2 on an RedHat 9 box. -Petter- -- Petter Holmström Civare, Åbo Akademi University Axelia, Biskopsgatan 8, Room 339 Tel: +358 2 215 3508 GSM: +358 40 8395765 Email: petter.holmstrom(a)abo.fi Having a bad day? - http://www.murphys-laws.com

I set the access rule like this: rq=context.REQUEST s=str(rq.PATH_INFO) rq.set("MainPath",s) # debug if (s<>'/manage') and (s<>'/'): from string import split l=split(s,'/') rq.set("MainPath",l) # debug TraversalRequestNameStack=['index_html'] <--- I try to the Zope get this object, and not the original URL but it have failed. When I try with: http://mysite/o I want to this request are stored into MainPath ("/o"), and the Zope don't drop an error, but it is get the default index_html, and process that. But it is drop the error: Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. Resource not found Sorry, the requested resource does not exist. Check the URL and try again. Resource: o GET What I can do to prevent the error, and redirect the process to the main index_html ??? Thanx for any advance !!! KK -- Best regards, fowlertrainer mailto:fowlertrainer@anonym.hu
