Virtual Host Monster and DynDns
by Holger Butschek 20 Jul '04

20 Jul '04

Hi folks, I have an problem useing the VirtualHostMonster. My Server can be connected by butschekconsult.dyndns.org:9080. Now, I'd like to host some pages. But I don't want the user always to type that string, I'd rather prefer him to type something like www.butschek-consult.de . For that, I thought I could put an index.html-file at the mass-hosting-server that point to my butschekconsult.dyndns.org:9090 with something like http://butschekconsult.dyndns.org:9080/vhm_test/ . The user should see the adress: www.butschek-consult.de . Do you have any ideas how to do that. Bye, Holger I have an apache 2.0 running, too. ----------------------------------------------------- Butschek IT Consulting Holger Butschek Hellenstrasse 27 56179 Vallendar Telefon: 02 61 / 96 34 98 8 Fax : 02 61 / 96 37 75 7 Handy : 01 79 / 24 18 70 2 eMail : h.butschek(a)butschek-consult.de Web : http://www.butschek-consult.de Anfahrt: http://mail.map24.com/butschek-consult ----------------------------------------------------- Diese E-Mail enthält vertrauliche und/oder rechtlich geschützte Informationen.

Re: [Plone-users] Private Zope/Plone Site - Insufficent_Privileges

Hi Chandrakantha In the acl_users I created User " Author " and their global passswd and gave them Owner and Manager Roles. I want them to be able to create folders and edit the contents - but for now it's only a pilot site So I will re-do the what and what they cannot do once the requirements have been set. (Nothing for Now) but I want to know beforehand (digest and understand) where and how I set these is the doc's on the settings. So when I'm brief I can exstablish the requirments .

Well, last month I posted a message on the localizer list, but I haven't got any reply jet: http://in-girum.net/pipermail/localizer/2004-June/000229.html The thing is that I have tried to installed it several times reinstalling python, zope, localizer, itools and iHotfix. Today in fact, I did a new install twice from the beginning on my Gentoo linux, kernel 2.4.22: * Python 2.3.3 --with-prefix=/usr/local/Python-2.3.3 --with-threads --without-pymalloc - Some Extra modules were activated on the Modules/Setup: array, cmath, math, struct, time, operator, _weakref, _testcapi, unicodedata, _locale, fcntl, pwd, grp, select, mmap, and zlib * Zope 2.7.1 --with-prefix=/usr/local/Zope/2.7.1 --with-python=/usr/local/Python-2.3.3/bin/python2.3 Instance home: /usr/local/Zope/2.7.1/data * Hotfix_2004-07-14 * itools 0.4.1, normal setup: /usr/local/Python-2.3.3/bin/python2.3 setup.py install -> The package was correctly copied into: /usr/local/Python-2.3.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/itools * Localizer 1.1.0a3 * iHotfix 0.4.0 Then I create a Localizer with "en de es" as the target languages. Finally I also add a MessageCatalog with "en" as original language and "de es" as target languages. Everything seems good, but when I try to import a "po" file, which I borrowed from plone, I get: Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 101, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object Module Products.Localizer.MessageCatalog, line 564, in manage_import Module Products.Localizer.MessageCatalog, line 547, in po_import AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'parsers' I did the import from the python command line, but a got the same results: Python 2.3.3 (#1, Jun 21 2004, 19:43:18) [GCC 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from itools import i18n >>>dir(i18n) ['Multilingual', '__all__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__', 'accept', 'code', 'filename', 'get_abspath', 'get_language_name', 'get_languages', 'langs', 'language_codes', 'languages', 'line', 'name', 'segment', 'x'] >>> i18n.parsers Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'parsers' If you see, dir doesn't find parsers either, but from the unix shell I get: % ls -l i18n/parsers.py* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4041 May 26 21:32 i18n/parsers.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2959 Jul 16 18:11 i18n/parsers.pyc I have tried to fix it by changing some things on the itools module, for example the definition of the __all__ variable on i18n/__init__.py, but I haven't had success. It seams that something is wrong with this module and I guess it is related with that variable, but I'm not really a python guru to say it. > >Localizer is used by CPS (which has a smaller following that Plone but >still) and it works well for us. We're interested in having it work for >everyone. Are you using the last version: Localizer 1.1.0a3, itools 0.4.1 and iHotfix 0.4.0? Did you try it on a fresh install with Zope 2.7.x and python 2.3.3 without other products installed?

existing groupware products on zope
by Tariq Rashid 20 Jul '04

20 Jul '04

i couldn't find any existing groupware products which run over ziope... similar to egroupware or opengroupware.org. something that has the usual items such as "files, links, projects, calanders, mailing lists, ..." zope is ideal to build such user-centric groupware and project managemebt applications and i must be missing where they are. i want to avoid using apache/mysql/postgresql when Zope already is running with capacity to spare. tariq

yes - i have looked at plone ... it seemed less of an application than a website construction kit but i don't know yet - i'm wainting for my plone book to arrive (i will use plone fo rother projects anyway). if i was to develop a groupware system with plone it seems like i would actually have to do some developping. unlikr the existing solutions such as phpprojeckt, egroupware, phpgroupware, etc .. thanks fro the suggestion though -----Original Message----- From: David Hassalevris [mailto:bluepaul@earthlink.net] Sent: 19 July 2004 19:20 To: Tariq Rashid; zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] existing groupware products on zope Tariq, Have you looked at Plone?

Zope and Javascript
by Asad Habib 20 Jul '04

20 Jul '04

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to open a new browser window when a certain condition is met. A variable would be set to a certain value and placed in either the REQUEST object or the SESSION attribute of the REQUEST object when this condition was met. I know how to do this part. However, I am having trouble figuring out how I can execute some Javascript code when this condition is met. In particular, the Javascript code should open a new window and display a customized message in this window. I also have the Javascript code to do this particular task. How do I call this Javascript code though? Is it possible to place Javascript code in a DTML method? If so, then I could call the method when the condition was met and this would execute the Javascript code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Asad

Hi + question
by Steven Hodgen 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

Hello, I'm pretty new to Zope (even newer to Zope on Linux) and I'm having a few problems getting it installed and running properly. I've successfully installed and run Zope, but to achieve as a non-root user, I must install Zope and an instance in my '~' directory. This is great, but I do need to be able to run Zope at port 80. As a side note, many of the docs on Zope.org treat doing this as a minor issue, and seem to promote the idea of running it at 8080. I'm a little confused by this. I understand that this has some security advantages, but I don't understand why anyone would do this under normal circumstances. I mean, no one goes to www.blah.net:8080 Pardon me if I'm being ignorant, but I would think this would be the exception, rather than rule. Zope.org gives me the impression that 8080 is (or should be) the rule. Anyway, back to real life. In any case, I decided to try installing Zope to the default location, assuming that this was the best general location, being the default and all. Everything works fine with: # ./configure # make # sudo make install The zopewiki Installing 2.7 site, likes to put the instance in a users /home directory, so I try: # /opt/Zope-7.1/bin/mkzopeinstance.py -d ~/scs-instance -u root:pw I get: [Errno 13] Permission denied: './README.txt' Ok, between zopewiki.org and the doc/INSTALL.txt, you'd think I'd have this licked, but nooOOOooo. :-) Any help would be greatly appreciated. After this they have me chown and chmoding instance directories, and I'm looking forward to what goes wrong then. Any additional advice in hopes of preventing further posts from me would be equally appreciated. Thanks everyone! --Steven Hodgen

Hola de nuevo En la tarde zope que nos pegamos hace ya algunos dias en castellon para la iparty esta conocimos a un catedratico o profesor de una universidad (os pido disculpas por mi falta de memoria) que nos contaba lo bien que le estaba funcionando python + zope en su departamento. Me encantaria que pudiese leer este mensaje y me contactase. Estamos intentando con un amigo "vender" las lindezas de este entorno en la universidad del colega y me gustaria tener el maximo numero de argumentos posibles en cuanto a la aplicacion docente Espero noticias! Gracias y saludos

Flash tutorial for ZClasses
by Børge Kjeldstad 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

Following the discussion on the possible usefulness of a flash tutorial for ZClasses, one might conclude that: "Some people think it is easy to work with ZClasses and some think it is not." This conclusion alone should indicate a need for more or better tutorials on ZClasses. I am sure Dieter is quite right when he says that: "-- but you are using ZClasses because your Zope programming skills are not yet developed enough to implement full blown Zope products." However, I am not sure that every Zope programmer would have the need/desire/ability to become able to develop his/her own Zope products. For these programmers, ZClasses might be an handy option. When it comes to a flash tutorial in general, I see one challenge: The possibility for others to participate in the development/improvement of the tutorial. Within the Zope book everyone can add comments. This constantly serves to improve the book. Such an option in a flash tutorial would contribute to ensure the tutorials further life within the Zope community. Børge
