File upload manager similar to OWL for Zope?
by Ellinghaus, Lance 28 Dec '03

Does anyone know of a product for Zope that works similar to OWL? We use OWL at our company for a central repository of files and have over 10GB of files being managed by it. The advantage of OWL is that the files are stored in directories in the OS so they can be accessed via the filesystem if needed.

Several levels of message privacy/read access?
by XavierVerg�sFarrer� 27 Dec '03

27 Dec '03

I'm new to zope. I have browsed the zope book and think that I like zope very much. I'd like to have something similar to a blog, where the different entries and comments can be hidden to different sets of users. This is for my kid's school, and here are some of the access possibilities that I think that could be useful for a given entry: -everyone can read it -only the creator can read it. -only teachers can read it. -only parents and teachers can read it. -only the kids and the teacher in a class can read it. There is an additional level of complexity: if this application proves to be useful, other schools in the neighborhood may use it, so probably the school should also play a role in the access rights. Any hints of what could my starting points be? There are so many products that look nice that taking a first step is hard! Thanks in advance. -Xavier __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I'm clumsy with XML-RPC.
by Kyler Laird 27 Dec '03

27 Dec '03

It's been a long time since I poked at Zope with XML-RPC. I was hoping to start using it for a very public set of tools, but the only things I can do right now are very clumsy. I have a Python Script, "test", in Zope with parameters "first=None, second=None". The Script just "prints" and returns the values. Trying what would seem to be an elegant way of calling it, Zope_server.test(first='foo', second='bar') yields an error. TypeError: __call__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'second' O.k., so I fall back to an old script I wrote that uses Meerkat (which still works!) and see that I can pass it a dictionary. Try again. Zope_server.test({'first': 'foo', 'second': 'bar'}) "first={'second': 'bar', 'first': 'foo'}\nsecond=None\n" That still doesn't give me access to "second". I've been looking in the obvious places for examples with multiple parameters but I've found none. Any pointers? (I think I originally worked from an article by Jon Udell at Byte but it seems to have disappeared.) The obvious alternative is to ditch XML-RPC and just use plain HTTP. Zope knows how to handle HTTP well enough and I'm quite comfortable with it, so it's almost my preference. I just thought that XML-RPC seemed like a cleaner way to handle this (and I'd recommended it for some other uses so I thought I should get some real experience with it). Thank you. --kyler

I think you mis-understood. I cannot use any file protocols. That is why we use Owl to upload and download documents/files to a central web source, but I have to have the files and directories available via the OS to allow running SCP if needed or if the Web interface is down.

I've a question about PHParser
by Gabriela LÃ³pez Ruiz 26 Dec '03

26 Dec '03

Hi all, I've a question. I'm trying to execute a simple PHP script in my Zope environment (just to try the functionality). I've created a PHParser object and I changed the path in the PHParser .py source according to the path where I installed executable PHP. But when I try to execute it I get the following error: 'D:\Program Files\PHP\php.exe' may not be a PHP-CGI program. The result from the program is empty(0 byte). Perhaps the PHP I downloaded is not the correct one. I downloaded the PHP 4.3.4 installer (for Windows) from the following URL: http://www.php.net/downloads.php. I checked the path but its correct. I dont know whats the problem. If you can help me I will be thanked. Gabriela. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Amor: busca tu ½ naranja http://latam.msn.com/amor/
