ZClass and Add/Permission
by Andreas Pakulat 28 Jun '03

28 Jun '03

Hi, I've got a Problem here with 2 ZClasses I created. The first one - SemsesterClass is derived from ObjectManager, to allow me to put instances of the second - LectureClass - into it. I want to do this with the following code in LectureClass_add: context.LectureClass.createInObjectManager(request['id'],request) But for this I have to be in a manager's role, even though I added the Add Lecture Permission to the webeditor role (which will be used for the logged in users). I reallz do not understand why I have to be a manager to add a ZClass instance to another ZClass and this is not good for my site either. How can I let every user from role X add Lectures to the Semester? I'm using Zope 2.6.1 and exUserFolder for authentication (not in /, but in the folder of my site) Andreas -- You will be the victim of a bizarre joke.

I think he wants a simpler alternative to the ZMI as a customer-facing interface. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Winkler [mailto:pw_lists@slinkp.com] Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2003 3:57 PM To: David Meltzer Cc: zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] looking for a poor mans' xdrive.com or ibackup.com On Sat, Jun 28, 2003 at 01:18:25PM -0400, David Meltzer wrote: > hello and thanks for reading this, > i know that zope support webdav. > ibackup.com, a commerical company, offers webdav access for a fee. > i was wondering if someone had written a zope application that could function as a simple webdav > server zope does this out of the box. you can upload and download to and from it. > and a simple user interface to modify it. modify what? You should know that windows' implementation of webdav contains bugs and is not compliant with the webdav spec. A windows "web folder" connected to zope seems to upload & download fine, but I have heard of problems when trying to edit documents "in place". -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look!

looking for a poor mans' xdrive.com or ibackup.com
by David Meltzer 28 Jun '03

28 Jun '03

hello and thanks for reading this, i know that zope support webdav. ibackup.com, a commerical company, offers webdav access for a fee. i was wondering if someone had written a zope application that could function as a simple webdav server and a simple user interface to modify it. i am trying to help a school find a free way to use webdav for the teacher's and student while at school and at home. i think that zope should be able to handle this. so any suggestions or advice? thanks, dave

Re: [Zope] Exporting zodb data (Urgent)

This was the first thing I tried. Not using zope's exported xml. Just try to export xml using zope and you will know why it doesn't make much sense to me. But person who originally wrote that application also wrote an external method to export the objects' data. Because he knew what objects were there and their fields. But that is more than year old and application was changed too much after that. I used his script to export data and tried to write create table and insert into statements using java and xml. But problem is that xml script doesn't export all data. For some fields, where there is no value, node for that is either not created or an empty child node is created. So when I try to use loops to extract data and then write insert into statements, insert into statements result in field count error. For example if an object had 25 fields, sometimes 20 and sometime 25 or less fields are created. There are so many tables so I cannot hard code values for each table. Even if I tried to hard code values by counting when looping I don't know how many actual fields are there. Also wrong data is inserted in fields when any empty value is skipped by that python script. So this is the problem when using XML. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Platte" <plattem(a)inetnebr.com> To: "Sukhwinder Singh" <ssruprai(a)hotmail.com> Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 9:41 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Exporting zodb data (Urgent) > Sukhwinder Singh wrote: > > Hello, > > > > (I posted this question to zope-db(a)zope.org > > <mailto:zope-db@zope.org> but no one replied so I am posting it here as > > it is urgent.) > > I have a web application which is written by some other person using > > zope/zodb/python.

external method problems...
by Jeffrey Hood 28 Jun '03

28 Jun '03

I have an external method (which makes a SOAP call) which when running the test on, works and returns data as expected... however, with the following tal code: ================================================= <html> <head> <title tal:content="template/title">The title</title> </head> <body> <p tal:content="here/getRecords"> </p> <table border="1" tal:define="data python:here.getRecords()['item']"> <tr tal:repeat="record data"> <td tal:content="python:record[0]">record item 1</td> <td tal:content="python:record[1]">record item 2</td> <td tal:content="python:record[2]">record item 3</td> </tr> </table> <br /> </body> </html> ================================================= I am getting a basic authentication box... which I don't want... and additionally, no matter if I type in a valid superuser login and password, the box just keeps coming up... I'm guessing that there is some kind of permission problem, although I don't know why calling it via the url anonymously (http://...../getRecords) returns the same as the test... is there something that I am missing in tal to call the external method that requires setting some permissions ? Thanks for any and all advice... JH jhood - hmcon com

sequence / int handling (DTML)
by David Siedband 28 Jun '03

28 Jun '03

I have a DTML page where users can choose location(s) to link to a hypothesis. So there's an HTML multiple selection field. I have code that calls SQL to insert multiple selections and code that calls the SQL insert for a single entry. My question is how do get Zope to differentiate between the two scenarios and use the appropriate code. It's some sort of <dtml-if > logic... This tag calls the SQL query to inset a single selection <dtml-call "queries.updateHypPlace()"> This code iterates through the sequence and calls the SQL to insert each one <dtml-in place prefix=obj> <dtml-call "queries.updateHypPlace(place=obj_item , huid=hid)"> </dtml-in> What I have in mind is <dtml-if ????> <dtml-call "queries.updateHypPlace()"> <dtml-else ????> <dtml-in place prefix=obj> <dtml-call "queries.updateHypPlace(place=obj_item , huid=hid)"> </dtml-in> </dtml-if> Suggestions? TIA, David
