Obtaining the name of the authenticated user from within a product's source code
by Igor Leturia 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

Hi! I'm writing a product and I need to obtain the name of the authenticated user to use it in the source code of the product. I pass the REQUEST parameter to the product's method and I try to use REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] inside it but it says that the property doesn't exist (which is true, because I've inspected the REQUEST object and it has all the 'normal' properties (HTTP_USER_AGENT,URL...) but it doesn't have that property). But if I try to access REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] from within a DTMLMethod, it works. Why does this happen? Thanks in advance, Igor Leturia

OK, I should write a script in Python for that. I think I can find info for the URL post, but I am lost when it comes to Zope; I don't know how to address Zope objects, their properties and methods from python, do you know of site for examples??? > The tough part will be determining how to get your users to > provide valid, > parsable data by e-mail consistently enough to make it worth the > trouble.

I am not worry about that, all I need is the e-mail address of the sender, a title from the e-mail subject, and a description, again from the body of the e-mail. Issues generated by e-mail would all end up having default "section", "type" and "urgency" values. Once in the system, a member of the support team (a notifyable in "Issue Tracker" lingo) will have to modify the issues attributes himself. Regards, Francois

Check your browser. BTW, you will not be able to log out of the CMF when you use basic authentication as only the browser can reset the corresponding login info. Dieter PS: Please stay on the list.

TAL Question: Iterating through a list
by Nesbitt, Steve 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

All: I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to to iterate over a list using TAL. Here's the scenario: I am calling a python script which wraps around a ZSQL method and simply returns the result set. The set comes back as a list of dictionaries. I'm getting stuck because I can't figure out how to tell TAL to to 1) grab each item and 2) grab the value associated with each dictionary key. On a related note is there a way to call a ZSQL method directly through page templates? Thanks in advance, -steve snesbitt(a)cobaltgroup.com

RE: [Zope] FW: HELP !!!

I believe that on windows this will require Python 2.2, which should unofficially work with new versions of Zope. The issue here is that Carsten (or someone else) will need a C compiler to compile this version of Python with, and they will also need to build Zope on a machine with that same compiler, which means whoever builds the Python binary will also need to have built a Zope install for them too. I haven't done this for windows, so I'm not sure of the exact details. I would try and see if someone on the plone-users list or on #plone on irc.freenode.net has tackled this already, since (I think) there are a fair amount of Plone users on Win32. This does also mean, however, that one will need to set up and install after getting a working Zope: - CMFCore, CMFDefault, CMFTopic, and DCWorkflow from cvs (cvs.zope.org) - Plone 1.0.1 tarball (includes CMFPlone, Forumlator, Forumlator?) - Bits needed to run Zope as an NT service Sean -----Original Message----- From: Chris McDonough [mailto:chrism@zope.com] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 6:50 AM To: TANNERT,CARSTEN (HP-Germany,ex1) Cc: zope(a)zope.org Subject: RE: [Zope] FW: HELP !!!

I'm using Galeon 1.03 on Linux. Can you give me more explanations about: 'basic authentication as only the browser can reset login info'.
