by Joachim Schmitz 10 Mar '04

I want to generate a userid for a Zopeuser from the fullname the user enters. Is there a script around, which replaces all characters not allowed in ids especially the with a meaningfull equivalent ? For example ö (o umlaut) --> oe -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Joachim Schmitz ......................................................................

ZOracleDA: compiling dco2.pyd for python23 on windows
by Elena Schulz 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

Hi all, I managed to get a dco2.pyd from dco2.c with MingW gcc on Windows but get an ORA-21301 Error when I try to do a select, e.g. select * from MyTable The Oracle connection is opended and the browse tab is working properly showing MyTable in the list. So there must be a subtle problem while compiling. I'll append my compiling recipe so maybe someone can point me to a problem there. -- thanks a lot for any help, Elena My compile.bat for compiling with gcc (version 3.2.3) and dllwrap (version 2.13.90) @set PY_INCL="I:\Python\ActivePython232\include" @set ORA_INCL="I:\Oracle\ora92\oci\include" @set PY_LIBS="I:\Python\ActivePython232\libs" @set ORA_LIBS="I:\Oracle\ora92\oci\lib\msvc" rem generate the object-file: gcc -I%ORA_INCL% -I%PY_INCL% -c dco2.c -o dco2.o rem generate pyd-File: dllwrap --dllname dco2.pyd --driver-name gcc --def dco2.def -o dco2.pyd dco2.o -s --entry _DllMain@12 --target=i386-mingw32 -L%PY_LIBS% -lpython23 -L%ORA_LIBS% -loci rem delete object-File: del dco2.o

ReportLab in Script (Python)
by Florian Reiser 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

Hello, some time ago, I have read an article, which had the complete set of allow_class and allow_module statements inside, which are neccessary to work with reportlab in pythonscripts. Does anybody know the url to this article (I think it was on Zope.org)? I can't find it anymore. Even a search on google didn't find it. Regards Florian Reiser

RE: [Zope] Quoting Text to valid HTML
by Samir Mishra 10 Mar '04

Chris, The docs weren't very clear, and I didn't read them thoroughly. Stripogram seems to be what I was looking for. Thanks. My apologies for my earlier very much incorrect and premature email summary. And you're right, this question is not strictly Zope related. But Zope users tend to be savvy at both python and HTML. So it seems more logical for me to post the question on the Zope list rather than a python list. Also, I consider myself more of a Zope user than a python user... Thanks gain.

Posting to ZWiki using DTML?
by S. D. 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

Since the ZWiki.Org site appears to be down, maybe someone here can help me. I have a Plone 1.0.5 installation (Zope 2.6.1, Python 2.1.3 + email 2.5.4, Win 2k) in which I've created a simple "registration" page that allows us to collect a bit of info from our visitors before they download our software. Currently, the download page sends an email to our developers whenever a download takes place. But they want to see the download info in some more database-like format. It occurred to me that the easy thing to do would be to send the registration info to ZWiki. Then they could play with that customer info in the convenient Wiki way. My question is how can I post the output from my Zope DTML page to ZWiki via Zope (bypassing external email servers)? Here is my current DTML "registration" code: ----- <dtml-var standard_html_header>  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://my.server.org/val.js"> </script>  <script type="text/javascript"> order_check = { specifyinstitutionname: { verify: text, message: 'Please enter your institution name.' }, specifyusername: { verify: text, message: 'Please enter your name.' }, specifyuseremail: { verify: email, force: 1, message: 'Please enter a valid email address.' } }; </script> <h2><dtml-var title_or_id></h2> <h3>We want your feedback!</h3> <p>Please provide your contact information before downloading.</p> <p>We do not release this information to anyone else.</p>  <form onsubmit="return validate(this, order_check)" action="SendFeedback" method="post"> <table> <tr> <td> Institution name: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="institutionname" size="40"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Your name: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="username" size="40"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Your e-mail address: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="useremail" size="40"> </td> </tr> </table> <textarea name="comments" rows="10" cols="50"> Type your comments here. </textarea> <div style="cursor: default"> <input type="submit" value="Send Feedback"> </div> </form> <h4>Thank you!</h4> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ----- On the ZWiki side, I've enabled Mail In (as described at http://www.zwiki.org/WikiMail) but I don't know where to go from here. I could dispense with the email output entirely if there was a simple way to route this info through Zope. Any suggestions? Thanks! Scott

Wrapping a non-Zope site in Zope
by Etienne Labuschagne 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

Hi there, What is the best way to "wrap" another live site in a Zope page or serve it through Zope. I have a web-enabled mail site that I must plug into a client's Plone site. The client wants his employees to first log into their Plone portal before being able to log into their web enabled mail site. He might also want all of this to happen behind https in the end. So an employee will have to do two logins to get to his/her mail. The second phase will incorporate the mail site into the Plone skin, by stripping the <head> section from the mail server served pages and then plugging the body into the body slot of the Plone skin. My idea was for Zope to "pass on" the mail server served pages, somewhat like a reverse proxy. Maybe a reverse proxy is the answer, but how do I get the client to first log into the Plone portal before being able to log into the mail page. I have started writing a "proxy" object in Zope that takes the browser request, figures out which page to retrieve from the mail server with urllib, retrieve the page, and pass that back again, but it is a bit slow. It also leaves me with nasty work to do such as searching for urls on the mail server created pages and changing them to my "zope urls". In the end only one server serving on one port must be open to the internet. Any suggestions? Etienne

Zope and MS-Frontpage inter-operability
by Roberto Marabini 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

Hi, I am trying to use a site developed in MS front page. The problem is that Frontpage uses folders with underscores e.g. _themes , for storing images, css etc. Python (and therefore Zope) does not seem to allow folders (or any object in fact) to have a name that begins with an underscore. Has anybody successfully used Frontpage and publish it to a zope web server? Thanks for the help Roberto P.S: I apology in advance for mentioning frontpage in this forum

recommendations for image library product?
by Matt Carey 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

hi i'm looking at building a zope site for a friend of mine who is a photographer. the site will just be a gallery of the different types of work he has done over the years. he needs to be able to easily add images, and to put these into categories. ideally this would allow some form of predefined properties (and even better would be a way to add in a custom link to something like PayPal for each image -- he has a vast range of stock images he would like to try and make some money from). he is not at all computer-savvy so whatever i propose has to be very simple. and he's got hardly any budget, which is why i haven't gone for the custom build option. :) i've looked through some zope products but i wondered if anyone has any recommendations? or should i go the plone route (never done a plone site before)? matt
