Problem calling script on PT via URL
by Jon Whitener 08 May '03

08 May '03

Why am I getting this behavior when trying to call a script on a Page Template? Consider this folder hierarchy with objects: /departments/ | ----funScript (Script Python) | ----webmaster/ | ----thePT (Page Template) funScript simply returns a string (although I want it to do more). I get the string in my browser as expected if I call either: /departments/funScript /departments/webmaster/funScript But, if I call /departments/webmaster/thePT/funScript It simply returns to the top of thePT. Huh? No error, just this unexpected behavior. Ultimately, I want funScript to change a property on thePT (another challenge), but first I need to know why this script isn't acting as expected when called on thePT. Any wisdom would be very helpful. TIA! Jon Whitener Detroit Michigan USA

login and permissions
by Sridevi Vanka 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hi, I have a zclass called commitment in a product in the products folder.If I want to create a new commitment (instance of the exisitng zclass), it doesnot let me create unless I am a manageer.If the user has a owner permission, it says not authorized. But, I dont want to give manager permission to users. And also, I want to use a relational database for log-in process of normal users who use the application. Though the relational database says the user is authorized, zope is asking is for login information while the user tries to create a new commitment. Since the login information is only stored in relational database, zope says not authorized. Thnaks for the help,Sridevi Vanka --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Mailing list integration
by Marc Burgauer 07 May '03

07 May '03

Is there any mailing list software for which there is decent integration into Zope? I tried getting a hold of a recent or complete product, but can't seem to find anything. I need to run mailing lists with a web front end for an archive browser and for users to change their settings (subscribe, unsubscribe, digest, all mails, announcements from the list owner only, vacation settings, etc.), also the list has to be moderated (ideally with moderation via web AND mail, but web alone as preference if only one of the options is there). I had a look at Zmailman, but the link given for the product's home http://demo.iuveno-net.de/iuveno/Products/ZMailman/ is broken and I could not find any hints of the product's existence on the site of iuveno-net.de. Is this product still alive and where? I think Mailman comes close to what we need, if I could find a decent integration with Zope. Cheers Marc

TaintedString, how is it determined, where ?
by Jean-Francois.Doyon＠CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hello, I am playing with the html_quote function, trying to get it to quote ALL html entities, not just the basic ones cgi.escape() handles. I've got that part working well enough, though I had to modify Zope code ... Is it possible to monkey patch (or in any other way modify) from a product a function (and not a class) ? The problem I discovered is that only "tainted strings" are passed to html_quote. BUT what Zope determines to be "tainted" isn't "wide" enough for my needs. In my case, strings with latin-1 accents are not deemed "tainted", which means they don't get quoted by the code I have in place (Which would replace "é" with "é"). Could anybody point me in the right direction? Where do I find the code that determines whether a <dtml-var> used variable (such as Title) is deemed tainted? I could just write a new PythonScript or something like that to do it ... But since the architecture is allready in place to do it, I'd rather just modify that. Also, the documentation for html_quote really suggests this shuld be the behavior. Either the behavior of the function, or the docs, should be ammended to be clearer. Thanks!

RE: [Zope] Zope sizing and Scalability
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 07 May '03

Size won't be an issue with DirectoryStorage, but number of objects is a more important factor... If that 200GB is comprised of lots of small objects, there are still penalties for storing filesystem metatdata for many, many files (i.e. tens of millions) - this is why it is recommended to use ReiserFS with DirectoryStorage.

DBTab might be worth a look too, for "mounting" different storages at different zope folders. i've never run a storage that big so this opinion is worth the paper it's printed on ;-) -- Paul Winkler home: http://www.slinkp.com "Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!" _______________________________________________ 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 )
