[ANN] mxmCounter 1.1.0
by Max M 18 Mar '04

18 Mar '04

mxmCounter - A filesystem based hit counter product for Zope, CMF & Plone sites Changes - Added a management page for setting counts on individual pages - Added links to each counted page - Improved documentation. Version 1.1.0 Description I needed a simple filesystem hit counter for zope for my own site, but found the existing products wanting. I didn't really want to be bothered with installing a statistics package, and setting it up with Apache etc. Also, some of my customers have asked for the functionality on their sites. So I developed a new product that was more in line with what I wanted. Features Fast, and doesn't grow the ZODB It is Ram based and only saves to disk for every n count. Works for all pages on the site You only need to install one instance of the product for all pages. An "infinite" amount of counters are automatically created. ip adress blocking You can block one, more or ranges of adresses that should be prevented from incrementing the counter. So you can check out your hit-rate without increasing the count. :-) Cookie based blocking Sets a cookie so the counter will increment only once. Until the browser is restarted. Simple one page counter overview/management You can see all the hit counters on a single page. meaning that you can keep them hidden for normal users. Where is it? http://www.mxm.dk/products/public/mxmCounter/ -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science

RE: [Zope] Simple Breadcrumbs in ZPT

RE: [Zope] Newbie Q: Insert Word Files into Table Cell?
by Lee J. McAllister 18 Mar '04

18 Mar '04

I expect you need to convert the Word file into HTML or Text first using a parser. Once you've got it converted you should be able to insert the parsers output into the table as you would any other text or HTML content. There are a few available to choose from on the Net, which one suits your purpose best depends on your platform and what you do/don't want done to the Word document when it's parsed.

Basic Security
by Chris Hoy 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

Hi I am trying to create a product with basic security in it. I have added a user folder and user's to the product. I have also restricted access to my pages via the "View" Option so all access to these pages require authentication. I have exposed a login form as a public method. All this works fine but I cannot get the login form to authenticate the user for the current session. My basic question is how do I authenticate a user via a form rather than having the browsers security dialog appearing Chris Hoy ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.

IOError
by AP Meyer 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

Dear Zopers Since this morning I have witnessed a new error in my Zope application. It is a database with a ZPT interface that makes use of ZCatalog for browsing through its contents. When I do this I get an IOError now and then. When I refresh the same bits of data a second later the problem is gone. It is not predictable when this happens. Packing the ZODB (from 80MB to 5MB) did not help. This happens with Zope 2.7 on Win2K. Has anybody else experienced this before? Is it Zope or Windows (I have yet to test this on my Red Hat box) or a hardware problem? kind regards Andre Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. *Error Type: IOError* *Error Value: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Troubleshooting Suggestions * The URL may be incorrect. * The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect. * A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error.

Wrong roles returned?
by Christoph Landwehr 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

Hi, I have two (sets of) DTML-Documents: Document A has 'View' access for 'anonymous' Document B has 'View' access for 'Authenticated' Both use the same standard_html_header: --- snip --- <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('Authenticated',this())""> You are worthy ... <dtml-else Go away! </dtml-if> Your role: <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()"> Your login: <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()"> --- /snip --- When a user views document B, he has to log in and gets the message: You are worthy ... Your role: My_Role Your login: My_Name Then he/she viewes document A: Go away! Your role: Anonymous Your login: Anonymous User When the User goes back to a B-type document he/she is authenticated again. Why doesen't Zope return the basic authentication information for the pages that can be viewed as anonymous? How do I get the "real" role? Regards Christoph PS.: FYI - Zope 2.6.2 (source with python 2.1) - OS: Linux - using Zope-webserver (for development only)

Upgrading to Zope 2.7
by Florian Reiser 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

Hello, when I upgraded to 2.6.2 I copied the Data.fs to the new Zope/var directory. With this trick, I preserved the many roles I added in the root directory. However this trick doesn't function with Zope 2.7. How can I get my roles to Zope 2.7 without creating them once again? With kind regards Florian Reiser

zpt initial blank line
by Joseph Kocherhans 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

I'm not sure where to start with this one, so hopefully it sounds familiar to someone. I'm running Zope 2.7.0 and rendered page templates all seem to have an initial blank line. Unfortunately, my xml parser doesn't like that. Am I just seeing some bizzare behavior here, or have page template always been like that? I'd hate to have to come up with some hack to strip that line off someplace. Has anyone had to deal with this before? Thanks joseph

Unlikely -- most of the more recent versions of Roundup aren't Zope-compliant. Richard Jones is working on it, BTW, and I'd encourage you to join the roundup mailing list and discuss it there.

Using ZWiki's mailin with a DTML form?
by S. D. 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

In Plone 1.0.5/Zope 2.6.1/ZWiki 0.28/Win 2k, I have a DTML page that collects feedback and mails it out to our University SMTP server. I also need to route that information to a Zwiki in the same Plone site. Since there aren't any appealing sendmail options for the Windows platform, I thought it would be nice if I could use ZWiki's mailin External Method to take the info that the DTML page spits out and feed it directly into a ZWiki page. Simon suggested: > dtml-call "wikifolder.ExistingPage.edit(page='NewPage', > text=reporttext, REQUEST=REQUEST)' but looking at Editing.py, I don't see where to begin. It seems like I need to add code to the DTML page to send the info to a wiki page--a set wiki page which will accumulate the information. I don't know how that dtml-call gets me from the DTML page to the ZWiki page. Can anyone offer any advice on how to connect a DTML page, which is essentially just a traditional form, and ZWiki by using a mailin-like configuration on the ZWiki end? Thanks! Scott
