Re: [Zope] Customize the ZMI
by Michael Havard 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

For the general public we are using CMF. For myself and one or two other developers some work within the ZMI will be required. I would like to be able to make some enhancements for the way that we work and code. Is there any documentation on what dtml files control which part of the ZMI and where those files reside on the filesystem? >From: Andreas Jung <lists(a)andreas-jung.com> >Reply-To: Andreas Jung <lists(a)andreas-jung.com> >To: Michael Havard <nhavar(a)hotmail.com>, zope(a)zope.org >Subject: Re: [Zope] Customize the ZMI >Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2003 18:32:53 +0100 > >checkout the .dtml files of the zope distribution.

by catonano 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Hello Zopers, for the first time in my life a business asked me for a dinamical web site that can start off a cd rom. I gave them a demo made in Zope and now they ask me about the Zope license. I read the Zope license and I can translate it in Italian for them but I wonder wether ther's something more about the business use of Zope. Please help. This is SO important to me! Thanks so much!!

RE: [Zope] zope access to external files
by baiewola＠netscape.net 04 Mar '03

I can personally recommend LocalFS. We do exactly what you want to do, using a combination of LocalFS and local roles. All the LocalFS objects are in one folder. The index to that folder checks if a user has the appropriate local role, and only the appropriate objects are displayed for each individual. If you decide to implement this plan, we're happy to give you a copy of our index and the necessary python scripts. We have hundreds of LocalFS objects, so we spent some time constructing the index so the items appear in tabular format.

[Vote] PEP308 voting began
by Dieter Maurer 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Attention: cross post PEP308 is concerned with the introduction of a ternary conditional operator (something like an "if cond: val_true else: val_false") into Zope. In my view, such an operator would make TALES expressions easier because we could get rid of the "and/or" hack to represent conditionals and we could forget about the "test" function, which evaluates too eagerly. Please have a look at PEP308 and consider voting. Details in "comp.lang.python.announce". Dieter

Hi, I have found the document to install PIL on zope at http://www.zope.org/Members/regebro/PIL_zope Followed instructions, worked fine. Did copy file _imaging.so and the PIL directory to my zope/lib/python.

Finding owner of an object
by Tom Emerson 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Greetings, I have a folder of files (think the FileLibrary example), where files may be owned by different people. In a ZPT I would like to limit the set of files that are displayed to those owned by the current user. I can't find a way to get the owner of a given object: what am I missing? For example, I use container.Submissions.objectValues('File') to get the set of files in the Submissions folder. Is there a method I can call on each File object to get its owner?

Getting metatype information
by Fearless Froggie 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Hi, If I have an address such as the following: an_address = context.REQUEST['URL2'] How would I get the metatype of the object "an_address" is pointing to? I have the feeling that it shouldn't be too difficult, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around it! Many thanks, Rita. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

plone problem
by David Bear 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

just installed plone. I unzip/tarred it and put symlinks in my Products directory to all the CMFPl* folders created by tar. However, there are problems. Here's the traceback printed with zope starts. The error's don't appear critical as zope is still running. I just haven't created in plone objects yet. Any advice? ================================ 2003-03-03T15:41:53 ERROR(200) Zope Could not import Products.ActivePak Traceback (innermost last): File /home/httpd/zoperoot/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 541, in import_product File /home/httpd/zoperoot/lib/python/Products/ActivePak/__init__.py, line 2, in ?

NuxUserGroups and CMF not working
by baiewola＠netscape.net 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

I installed NuxUserGroups, but the product was broken. The traceback error said "No module named CMFCore.CatalogTool." I presumed that I had to install CMF, so I did. 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?). And NuxUserGroups is still broken. The weird thing is that I now have the option of giving local roles to groups -- I just can't create the groups. * For CMF, is it mandatory that Zope be installed using /var/zope as my INSTANCE_HOME and /usr/local/zope/ as my SOFTWARE_HOME? * If that's the problem, what do I need to change about CMF to make it work with my own installation?
