Thanks, George. We had success when we ran Zope start-up with PCGI disabled (-p -). Apparently the hosting provider does not allow CGI scripting without special dispensation (?).

I don't > quite get what the problem is. > > jens Hmm...I'm not sure how to interpret your response. There are two possibilities. Either you don't understand what I'm trying to do...or you don't understand why I'm doing it. Let me just clarify both. I would like to be able to restrict access to the Zope server to only those people who belong to a certain UNIX group on the server machine. Since authentication will be handled by the front end, we don't want to allow any "anonymous" connections to the Zope server. I know I can handle this with the Zope permissions, but I'd rather build the security into the hardware setup rather than have to worry about permissions on all the objects. So that is what I'm trying to do. Note, much of this is dictated by corporate security guidelines and I can't really argue with it because a) I'm powerless to and b) it is quite reasonable give the number of users of our corporate intranet. Why do I want to do it this way? Well, if I open a port on localhost then any user of the server can access that port. With the named pipe, I can control the permissions on the port. Hopefully that clarifies things. You may not agree the steps are necessary (and I have no say in the matter), but at least now I hope I have explained what steps I'm trying to take. :-) -- Mike

ZPT help
by Albert Chin 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

I just set up Zope 2.6.1 and am trying to migrate a static web site to it. The site has some navigation links on the right and across the top. The links to the right are different depending on the page content. The links across the top are always the same. Basic tree structure is: www.foo.com/ www.foo.com/company-info/ www.foo.com/company-info/contact www.foo.com/company-info/history www.foo.com/products/ www.foo.com/products/product-1 www.foo.com/products/product-2 www.foo.com/products/product-3 www.foo.com/projects/project-1 www.foo.com/projects/project-2 www.foo.com/projects/project-3 The "contact" and "history" links appear to the right on the "company-info" page. The "product-1", "product-2", and "product-3" links appear to the right on the "products" page, etc. The "company-info", "products", and "projects" links would appear across the top. Is it possible to have one ZPT template which provides dynamic content based on the URL? -- albert chin (china(a)thewrittenword.com)

RE: [Zope] Need Functionality of Zope Book
by Tiller, Michael (M.M.) 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Has anybody ever gotten the CMF wrapper part to work? I tried for quite a while and just couldn't get it to function right. I looked up everything I could on the web about it but just couldn't get it going. It is really unfortunate. This was *EXACTLY* what I needed (and continue to need), but I'm just not expert enough in Zope/CMF (yet?) to be able to get this working. -- Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris McDonough [mailto:chrism@zope.com] > Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 10:23 AM > To: Brady Joslin; zope(a)zope.org > Subject: Re: [Zope] Need Functionality of Zope Book > > > Hi Brady, > > See http://backtalk.sourceforge.net.

Webdav to another server
by Isokangas, Erik HTC/DE/FRA 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Hi, I am in a situation where I need to access (read) files on a webdav server from my Zope application. There's a lot written about accessing Zope with Webdav but I can't find anything useful about using Zope to access other webdav servers (except for a mention about webdav/client.py - but it's not obvious!). In particular, the webdav/web folder server is Win2000/IIS 5.0 and Zope is installed on a Linux box. Can anyone give me some hints on the best approach? Thanks, Erik Isokangas

CMFPhoto/Windows/ImageMagick
by Kelley, Sean 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

Hi, I have installed Zope 2.6.1, CMF 1.4, Plone 1.0.3 and CMF Photo and Photo Album along with the windows version of ImageMagick (ImageMagick-5.5.7-Q8-windows-dll.exe) I can only see original size images. I tested ImageMagick with the command line options and it is installed correctly. How does CMF/Zope know its there? I also restarted Zope. Sean

If it sends a real HTTP request, you should be able to use it. You can find out the request parameter if you don't know it. Simply print the REQUEST object. (You can also use 'REQUEST.text()'.) Wow, that's a lot of punctuation. If it's doing something strange, and doesn't end up in the form, maybe it's in 'REQUEST.other". In any case, you should be able to introspect it, at the very least by submitting to something that will log the contents of the request as above. You can also watch the conversation with various network tools. There's one that's a favorite on this list, but I forget the name. --jcc

Redirect without displaying page
by Jack Hughes 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

Hello all, I am trying to integrate our systems with an external email list company. They provide a URL with various arguments relating to email address, first name, last name etc. I need to be able to call (from a python script) the external URL with arguments as if it were a function. I do not want to display the results of the call, other than to validate that the call succeeded. How do I go about achieving this? Is there a python method for doing this? Cheers, Jack Hughes OPENXTRA Ltd. http://www.openxtra.com/

manage_clone problem, python script solution required please
by Webmaster Expert RH 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

Hi zopers, Here is part of my script container.dest_folder.manage_clone(Item, Item.id) container.temp.manage_delObjects(Item.id) It works perfectly well for me when I'm logged in as manager, but my users get an error (prompted for password again) In the zope log I get : Module OFS.CopySupport, line 268, in manage_clone Module OFS.CopySupport, line 349, in _verifyObjectPaste Unauthorized: <zExceptions.unauthorized.Unauthorized instance at 0x8e83bec> It seems (thank you Dieter) that this is a know bug In searching the archives I found a solution with external method. Unfortunately, my configuration doesn't allow me to use those easily. I must find a workaround in python_script only. Of course I have set the proxy role of the script to 'Manager' I even tried container.dest_folder.manage_pasteObjects(container.temp.manage_copyObjects( Item.id)) container.temp.manage_delObjects(Candidat.id) In the zope log I get : Module OFS.CopySupport, line 146, in manage_pasteObjects Module OFS.CopySupport, line 349, in _verifyObjectPaste Unauthorized: <zExceptions.unauthorized.Unauthorized instance at 0x946862c>
