RE: [Zope] Calling DTML document from a string/query

Hi, This is how I was able to point the variable to the form - <a href=" www.mydomain.com/somepath/index?read=<dtml-var required_document>" target="_blank"> <dtml-var required_document><dtml-var required_document> hth Larry -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Jan Maška Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 7:54 AM To: Zope mailing list Subject: [Zope] Calling DTML document from a string/query Hi all, Though it may seem as a stupid question, it's rather important (at least for me).. How to create a DTML document pointer (<dtml-var required_document>) from a string? Let's see this example: www.mydomain.com/somepath/index?read=20030220 What I need is that the index at somepath opens another document called '20030220' and prints it's contents, like in this case: ==index== <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var "20030220"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ===end=== only I want to be able to define this dynamically based on the user queries. If you can give any hints, it would really be helpful. -Mac =============================== Jan Maska, web developer Systinet, Prague(CZ) jan.maska(a)systinet.com tel.:(+420)608453492 visit http://www.systinet.com =============================== _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Including proper object from subfolders
by Lubos Culen 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hello! Yet one problem (resulted from my low knowledge of Zope): Let's assume we have following files in following directory structure (for example on www.site.com server): site/index_html (DTML document) site/content (DTML document, plain HTML) site/standard_html_header (DTML document) site/subdirectory1/content (DTML document, plain HTML) site/subdirectory2/content (DTML document, plain HTML) site/subdirectoryN/content (DTML document, plain HTML) 'index_html' file has for example this content: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var content> In 'standard_html_header' is some site header (not important for us), and 'content' in each folder is some static HTML content. Now I'd like to achieve this: when user accesses the 'http://www.site.com/site/subdirectory1/' , he will get displayed the common header and the content of 'site/subdirectory1/content' file. If he accesses 'http://www.site.com/site/subdirectory2/' , he will get displayed the common header and the content of 'site/subdirectory2/content' file etc. If he accesses site root 'http://www.site.com/site/', he will get displayed header and content in 'site/content'. This would work without problem, if the 'site/content' file would be moved to some subdirectory 'e.g. site/index/content' - but I would like to leave this file in the perent folder and get the content from subfolders only by enhancing index_html for some function - and this function I don't know. So, the index_html should look somehow like this: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var "##get_folder_where_the_request_came_from##.content"> - simply said, I need something which I can replace ##get_folder_where_the_request_came_from## with, to make it work :). Is there some object or function, which will return the object of folder of current site request to help with this? Thanks a lot for any answer! -- Regards, Mirsoft

How to change default method for calling object from the web?
by Lubos Culen 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hello! I have a problem: Let's assume I have object 'obj' and its method 'view' . So, calling the object 'obj' from web URL (e.g. 'www.mysite.com/path/obj' ) will display content of 'obj'. Calling 'www.mysite.com/path/obj/view' will call method 'view' of the object 'obj'. Now I want that the method 'view' should be DEFAULT method for the object 'obj', so calling 'www.mysite.com/path/obj' should automatically call the method 'view' of object 'obj'. Is it possible to do in Zope and how? -- Regards, Mirsoft

Adding content to document types
by Samir Mishra 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hello all, I'm adding documents & scripts to a folder using - context.manage_addDTMLMethod("index_html", "Index") #document name & title etc. These documents are created with default body content. My question is - how do I access/add to/replace the content that is inserted into the documents by default? For example, I'd like to insert dynamically generated code into Python scripts, or into the DTML document using properties defined within the folder. TIA. Samir.

Acquisition of the View permission
by Caleb Land 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hello, I am having trouble with folders and the view permission. Say I have a layout like: Users + |--index_html |--caleb + | |--Folder 1 | |--brian + |--Folder 2 Now, let's say that user 'caleb' owns the caleb folder, and user 'brian' owns the brian folder. If I set Folder 1 to be View'ed by owner/manager and without acquisition, shouldn't someone logged in as 'brian' be forbidden to see: /Users/caleb/Folder 1/ even if index_html is able to be View'ed by Anonymous? (because of the context it's being called from) Sincerely, Caleb Land (bokonon(a)rochester.rr.com)

custom authentication
by Andrew Altepeter 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hi all! I am working on integrating zope into the single sign-on auth. server we have. To do so, I started with the cookie_validate method in exUserFolder, modified it to suit, and placed it in my custom userFolder class. Ok, so it is working great if you to a page that requires authentication. However, I have noticed a few quiry happenings here, and maybe you guys can help me out. Sometimes, if I authenticate through the sso, and try access an object my user object doesn't have access do, I am sent a 401 Unauthorized with a Basic login window. This is not what I want! If the user is logged in, but doesn't have access, I want to return a 'no access' page, and if the user is not logged not, then I want to redirect to the sso. How can I do this? Do I need to 'hack' the HTTPResponse code (methods unauthorized, _unauthorized, and possibly exception to do this)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Andy

Customize the ZMI
by Michael Havard 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

What files can be edited to change the ZMI. Does this have to be done from the file system or can it be done from within the ZMI itself. I want to be able to change some of the styling, logo, label placement, etc. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

There's nothing at all in my logs about CMF, but here's what the log has to say abut NuxUserGroups: ------ 2003-03-04T19:52:42 INFO(0) NuxUserGroups.BasicUserWithGroups Patching BasicUser ------ 2003-03-04T19:52:42 INFO(0) NuxUserGroups.LocalRolesWithGroups Patching RoleManager ------ 2003-03-04T19:52:42 ERROR(200) Zope Could not import Products.NuxUserGroups Traceback (innermost last): File /zopedirectory/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 531, in import_product File /zopedirectory/lib/python/Products/NuxUserGroups/__init__.py, line 11, in ?

After installation, CMFCore, CMFDefault, and CMFTopic appear in my products list unbroken, but I can't create a CMF Site object (it should be in the pulldown menu, right?).

DCOracle2 and processes
by Scott Pierce 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

This might be a database connection/zope thing or specifically a DCOracle2 thing but here goes. When creating a product I generally create a 'SQL' directory and programatically within the product initialization add zsqlmethods to the directory. Then within the product I will reference the SQL directory with a getattr. Early on I was doing this where ever necessary vs. putting it in the __init__ and referencing it from the class. Doing the former causes an Oracle connection for each time it is referenced. So if I have a method within a class called by a DMTL page that does something like: sqlF = getattr(self, 'SQL') then sqlf.runazsqlmethod() A process is created with an Oracle connection each time the page is hit. I have moved these into the __init__ like so: self.sqlF = getattr(self, 'SQL') then: self.sqlF.runazsqlmethod() w/out this problem and that makes sense. However, I would still like to get some idea why the connections get created just referencing it the way I previously had it. Any insights? -- Scott Pierce <scott.pierce(a)sonopress.com> Sonopress LLC
