Per-user authorization to folder using SiteAccess rules
by Andy Altepeter 08 May '04

08 May '04

Hi All, I have a zope folder that contains multiple documents. Users order a document to be created by our communications office. That office then uploads that word document (not through ZMI). I want users to have access to ONLY those documents they have ordered. And all this needs to be done programmatically and not through ZMI. My first thought was to setup a SiteAccess Rule to get the current username and see if it matches with one of their orders and the requested word document. But it seems that SiteAccessRules, and more specifically __before_publishing_traverse__ occurs prior to user authentication. The script I was starting to write always sees the 'Anonymous User' when used as an Access Rule, but when viewed through the ZMI, it is the current user. Is there another way to do this? I'm thinking that when the document is uploaded, I set the owner to be the user that ordered it. Then I can set the permissions in this folder for View: ('Manager','Owner')? Any thoughts/better ways to do this? Thanks! Andy

creating zope folders and folder content
by Dan Cherry 08 May '04

08 May '04

Hi, I'm pretty new to Zope & Python, and have been making my way through several of the tutorials. Working with External Methods, one of the particularly useful pages came from the Advanced Zope Scripting in the Zope Book, and dealt with creating thumbnails. Everything worked as expected, but I'd like to extend the concept such that , from an External Method, I'd like to create a 'subfolder', then create the thumbnail in the sub-folder. When I prefix the thumbnail file_id with a folder name, I'm getting errors regarding invalid characters in a URL - (which appear to be the / characters separating the folder. I'm assuming this is pretty basic, but haven't been able to find anything on the subject. Any tips or suggestions on where to look, or possibly an Ext Method snippet which would create a sub-folder and a file within the sub-folder? TIA, -- Dan Cherry dscherry(a)bellsouth.net

Zope.com Facelift
by Hadar Pedhazur 08 May '04

08 May '04

A week ago, http://www.zope.com/ received a significant facelift. In addition, some of the previous pages were available in PDF format only, and the entire site is now HTML, and therefore more easily searchable as well. Undoubtedly, we have introduced some errors in the process, and broken some links that people have previously bookmarked, etc. We would appreciate it if those of you who find errors on the site are kind enough to drop us a note (webmaster(a)zope.com) and let us know what isn't working for you. P.S. For those of you superstars out there in Zope-land who are looking for a job (_in Fredericksburg, VA_), we also have more prominently displayed our "We're Hiring" link on the front page of the new site :-)

I'm using coreBlog and want to install a server-based aggregator. If I install the CMF aggregator will it work with my existing coreBlog? I wasn't planning to use Plone at all. Kate

archetype difficulty
by richard 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hi, I’m having trouble adding an External Method in the ZMI that will call the Install.py file I’ve written to install a new Archetype. I’ve followed the code in this article: HYPERLINK "http://www.zopemag.com/Issue006/Section_Articles/article_IntroToArchteypes. html"http://www.zopemag.com/Issue006/Section_Articles/article_IntroToArchtey pes.html When I get to the point of adding this external method: id: install_article module: MyArticle.Install function: install I get this error: “The specified module, MyArticle.Install, couldn't be found.” Being new to Zope I’m probably missing something obvious! Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Rich --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Zope-2.7 both http and https in parallel?
by Sascha Ottolski 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hi, maybe I'm blind, but I can't make it working. I've seen the hints to put <cgi-environment> HTTPS ON </cgi-environment> into zope.conf. This works, but that doesn't distinguish beetwenn different ports. That ist, even plain http-request will return URLs with "https" als the protocol. It is quite easy to start to different http-server on different ports, like <http-server> address 80 </http-server> <http-server> address 443 </http-server> Now the missing piece is, to add the "HTTPS ON" Header only for request to port 443.

Authentication
by Marnie King 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hi, I am using Zope with Apache and have created a test folder under the Root Folder. In this test folder I removed the original acl_users and added an exUserFolder and enabled secure cookie-based authentication. When I attempt to access this test folder through a browser window, it comes up with the session based login box which is all ok. The problem I'm having is that if I put in an incorrect username / password, it then comes up with a second login screen (Windows) and is asking for authentication again. Why does it do this. I just want it to say that it is an incorrect login. Can this be achieved?? I hope I have explained this OK. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------- ABS Web Site: www.abs.gov.au
