Multiple FTP sessions for a user.
by Doug Filteau 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

I need to enable a non-anonymous username to have >1 session (like an anonymous user). The username is used in an MS Outlook macro to upload documents via FTP to the Zope server, which means that the possibility exists for multiple instances of the same username may be connected concurrently to the Zope instance. Currently, if a user connects to the Zope instance using the upload username, subsequent users get a "Connection closed by remote host" error. In addition, the FTP server seems to have a very long timeout setting. I've looked in the ZServer/Medusa code but haven't found the magic bullet for either problem yet. Any help would be appreciated. -- Doug

Defining my own security
by Steve Jibson 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Okay, here goes... I have created a Zope Product that extends a Zope Folder object and I want to add a non-traditional security check before allowing users to "View" stuff in the "folder". For reasons that are too complicated to explain here, I can't use Zope roles and permissions for this check (in fact, this check should be done in addition to Zope's existing security mechanism checks). What I want to do is verify that a particular variable in the "Session" matches a specific property of the "folder". If it does not match, I want to raise an unauthorized error. Is this kind of thing possible? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Steve

Where is the magic that makes ZopeHome/Products show up on the path?
by Mike C. Fletcher 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

I had thought that this was done with __path__ statements in the __init__.py module, but I don't see any __path__ statement in Products/__init__.py in my Zope 2.7 install. PyDoc doesn't pick up the existence of the extended search path and I was thinking I'd try to teach it how to do so. Though I suppose it might be easier to just fix ZPydoc to work with Zope 2.7, now that I think about it. Have fun, Mike _______________________________________ Mike C.

front middle and back
by aamehl 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Hi all, I am designing an application that will manage content: audio, notation and text. The frontend take the user input. The backend is the db and directory structure. The middle end relays to and from backend to frontend. I am having trouble visualizing where existing zope products will help me and where I need to create python scripts to interact with the front end and backend. For example I want to check the database for existing information and send a page back to the frontend (plone). I haven't installed any products yet related to databases but is the product the place to query the database from or should I write a python module/script to do that for me. In other words what does the Zope product do for me? I don't mean to sound stupid but I am most confused by this and would prefer not to reinvent the wheel if at all possible. The above in just one scenero. For audio I need to upload a file to a remote directory and scan the headers and then user the header info to update the database. Again a Zope product or a python script/module?? Thanks Aaron

Request for Information
by Shashin Shah 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Dear Zope Users Apologies if this is not the right forum to raise these questions. I am helping a charity decide on an Open Source / Open Standards CMS and also a framework and supporting tools to help them develop their web based applications faster. I would very much appreciate your views on the following: - What is your view on Python versus Java. I am hearing that Python may be more productive than Java in building web based apps. - Whilst Zope is open source, to what extent is it based on Open standards, If we select Zope/Plone/Python is there a danger of getting locked in to something that is proprietary. - Are you aware of any comparisons done on Zope CMF/Plone versus other CMSs (such as Open CMS) that we could have access to ? Any help most appreciated. -- Shashin Shah
