Re: [Zope] 'import' directory accesible from scripting.
by Luis Lavena 28 Aug '03

I think that I start getting the picture: (please correct me if I'm wrong) What I need is my own Folderish (ObjectManager implementation) with a customized manage_importObject() which at the same time call _importObjectFromFile() to handle the "real" file import process. Now the thing is: the database (ZODB) Connection is which parses the file, and take a filename string or a "file" object that support read() function, how do I "mask" the OFS.File object to provide a read() function? just adding a "hook" to the OFS.File that handle the self.data? Ok, hope this wasn't to basic, newbie or stupid for you ;) Thanks for your time. Please excuse my poor english. Luis Lavena PS: The FTP was another stupid idea: use a 3rd party FTP with his home directory set to $INSTANCE_HOME/import for providing a workaround to .zexp importing. ----Original Message Follows---- From: Dieter Maurer <dieter(a)handshake.de> To: "Luis Lavena" <luislavena(a)hotmail.com> CC: <zope(a)zope.org> Subject: Re: [Zope] 'import' directory accesible from scripting.

Sure! Look at the implementation of the import functionality. It consists of two parts: locating the file and importing from this file. You can use the second part and solve the first part in any appropriate way. Almost surely, the "file" object do not need to be a real file, a file like object will probably sufficient. > or must relly on a limited FTP server > that only allow me upload information to the "import" directory? This has nothing to do with FTP. You can even use FTP (together with a "PUT_factory" (see Zope.org, for details)) to upload "zexp"s. Note, however, that this would be a security risk.

zwiki authentication?
by Kurt Yoder 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

So I've got zwiki installed. I can allow anonymous users to modify/add/delete pages. I can also restrict anonymous users to only view pages. So how do I add a "login to edit" link somewhere to the page that allows me to tell zwiki who I'm connecting as? That way I can say "only x, y, and z can edit this page, everyone else can only view it". Thanks for any help -- Kurt Yoder Sport & Health network administrator

[Newbie] Source configuration management with zope
by Gérard Oogle 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

Hi list, I recently discovered Zope, took the tutorial, read a couple of things, and I am now in the process of writing my first little app. So far there's something that is bugging me because I can't relate it to my previous habits. Ant it relates to the configuration management of what the developper I am produces. In my life before Zope: * I was developing in a sandbox composed of: o a "source sandbox" that was the mirror of a -cvs- repository o data sets for test purpose (files, database, ...) * There was a set of tools -compiler, sqlj, ...- that were able to give life to the "code" part of that sandbox by producing something that could be deployed * Sometimes there was another set of tools -ejbc, pl/sql script, ...- that were able to deploy the preceeding same artifacts into *different* environments The main ones beign o The QA environment o Real live production system * When we, developers, were 'creative'/'careless', we would release in supplement of the usual deployable artifacts 'migration scripts' You've probably recognized the regular Java/J2EE mantras. It is a little bit far now but I think I remember that things were not *that* different in Smalltalk: * I was developing in a sandbox composed of: o a "source sandbox" that was an image of an Envy repository o data sets for test purpose: it happened that our data were also stored in an Envy repository but it was an instance different from the one in which we were maintaining our code. * There was a set of tools -packager/configuration manager (my memories vanish)- that were allowing us to deploy the resulting same artifacts into *different* environments * I never had to write 'migration scripts' between 2 Envy repository If I mention Envy, it is because when I try to understand Zodb, I can't help making parallels between those 2 "stores". What puzzles me is that I confusely have the impression that: * when I am developing my little prototype, the code and the data it manipulates end up in the same Data.fs * I don't know where to code my second iteration of this prototype as soon as I will have shown it to business expert I working with and that he will start populating it with his data: o should I use Zope version management features and work on the *same* Data.fs than my business guy? o Does that mean that I cannot work locally on my machine and that I have to be connected to the server us 2 guys have access to? o if so, how can I tag each versions or better how can I package these versions to be able to deploy them in different Data.fs? To put it in a nutschell, I guess I am wondering how logic and data can be separated in Zope. I guess also that I am not the first dinosaur the zope community is welcoming. I would be grateful if someone could: * either shoot me a couple of links explaining how to do that * or help me refactor my views on the world (and I guess that a couple of links would do it also). Last thing, in that same frame of mind, since zope.org itself was recently upgraded, could somebody please detail us the various steps followed for that migration? Thanks in advance, -- Gérard

Also I > consider this an error when Zope will not startup! Apparently something other than those warnings are preventing Zope from starting. What version of Zope and Python are you running, and on what operating system? Do you have a log file in the "var" directory? Have you looked at it? Shane
