RE: GNU tar damage for the 5000th time, was Re: [Zope] z2 startup exception

in an earlier Slip i wrote that i was successful with Zope-2.6.2b5 and python2.1. The reconstruction of this attempt failed until now. Now i have tried it again, with a "little" change in the start-script. I started without any arguments like so: exec $PYTHON \ $PYTHONHOME1/z2.py \ -u zope -d [nameserver-ip] "$@" and the z2 Startup exception disappeared. The "cannot import Splitter" is now reflected in some ERROR(200). Successively i added my arguments and looked for the startup behaviour. The "-D" lets the startup end in an "z2 Startup exception". Finally startline is now: exec $PYTHON \ $PYTHONHOME1/z2.py \ -X -t 10 -u zope -d [nameserver-ip] "$@" Error producing startline: exec $PYTHON \ $PYTHONHOME1/z2.py \ -D -X -t 10 -u zope -d [nameserver-ip] "$@" strange, isn't it?

Well the bug is probably fixed, but once the damage has been done, its been done, and you're stuck with no option but to clean up the mess it leaves. > I have tried the attempt in bug-list entry #5, but this doesn't work. Adding that import statement to the module __init__.py didn't let your Zope start? In that case you'd better ask the list for more help, I'm not a good person to ask about catalog/vocabulary hacking as I don't use them enough. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ "Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing next to you may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution." -Sathington Willoughby

log specific user activity in plone site
by Marko Kruijer 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

I have a plone site were we log with the supperlogger product. With this we can see which pages are popular etc. Sometimes it would be nice to see what a specific user has viewed/downloaded etc. Can this be done with the normal zope logs? if not, is there a product that does log this activity?

RE: [Zope] How do I test a date to be valid?
by Jeff Nielsen 25 Sep '03

I was working on that. How do I catch the exception before it becomes an error? I saw something in the various docs about DateTime.DateTimeError, but I can't figure out how to implement it.

How do I test a date to be valid?
by Jeff Nielsen 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

When a user inputs a date from a form, how can I test it to be valid? I'd want 01/15/2003 to test as valid, but 02/31/2003 to test as false. Jeff Nielsen http://www.UgoFast.com

catalog reindex question
by Sean Kelley 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

I have a question about catalog indexing. I have a product that when and item is edited, the catalog listing shows the item twice. Once with info from before editing and once with the updated info. The python script which is editing the item has the lines: self.reindex_object() if REQUEST is not None: return self.index_html(self, REQUEST) Is there a mistake here? How does one update the catalog correctly? I am using zope 2.4.3

Which Version of Zope should i use?
by Paolo Dina 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Hi guys. I have developed a web site using Zope version 2.6.1. Now that site is ready to go online. Which version of Zope should i install in production environment? Do you suggest to stay on 2.6.1 or instead, to use the newer version 2.6.2? Do you think that the migration could cause problems? Thanks Paolo Dina

Site navigation

Hi, I have a product where I am using the following method to display a page: def index_html(self, REQUEST=None): "Method to show my web page" Content_Main = PageTemplateFile('showMyPage.pt', _wwwdir) setattr(myClass, 'Content_Main', Content_Main) if REQUEST is not None: return self.Template_index_html(self, REQUEST) I would like to modify this to have it duplicate the behavior of the following url: http://www.mysite.com/myClass/index_html#myID Where myID is defined in showMyPage.pt by <p id="myID"> some text </p> How would I accomplish this? Thanks, Mike

Help! I installed Zope on a RH8 box a few weeks ago and it has run ever since :-) But, today I up2dated mysql and now Zope will start but within a few seconds it shuts down again (if it ever started?) No messages in /var/log/messages Worst nightmare. It won't run and I can't find any clues. Any pointers? Simon

Re: [Zope] 'Delete objects' permission
by Tim Terlegård 25 Sep '03

> However, for "Owner" is would be unintuitive that the owner > of a folder has "Owner" permissions on all contained objects... Yes, unintuitive and it makes it hard to only allow creaters to delete their own objects. I thought this community policy was common... > > Is there any website explaining this thorougly? > > Did you read the local roles chapter of the Zope Book? I can't find any chapter named 'local roles'. I read "Users and Security" though. I grasp local roles now and with a little help by Chris on IRC I understand 'Delete objects' permission on folders. My conclusion is that there's no way to have a "members can create objects on the entire site, but only delete their own ones"-policy without scripting. I figure there are two ways: * Create a script that adds 'Delete objects' permission to the object's container in manage_beforeDelete or similar. You also have to add a script that removes 'Delete objects' after the deletion have been made. * The same solution, but using workflow instead. Maybe workflows use manage_beforeDelete for the work behind the scenes? Maybe there are better ways? These are not easy solutions for a newbie like me :) Tim
