Locked myself out...
by andrew cooke 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

Hi, I was in the Zope management interface, looking at the security properties for a folder i had added to the system (containing scripts and sql for our timecard system). I then remvoed (iirc) the permission "Access Contents Information" for anonymous users. Now I can't look at the config for that folder (I was thinking it would change access controls to the pages in the Plone site, not the config pages!). How on earth do I get access to this folder back?! More exactly, when I, for example, click on the folder on the left frame, I get a browser pop-up asking for verification. When I enter admin/plone it simply repeats the pop-up. If I press "Cancel" I get the error "You are not authorized to view this object." Help, please! Thanks, Andrew -- ` __ _ __ ___ ___| |_____ work web site: http://www.ctio.noao.edu/~andrew / _` / _/ _ \/ _ \ / / -_) personal web site: http://www.acooke.org/andrew \__,_\__\___/\___/_\_\___| list: http://www.acooke.org/andrew/compute.html

svn and webdav
by Juergen Rose 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

Hi all, I know that this doesn't belong on THIS list, but I would appreciate if someone is able to answer my question. Why it isn't possible to access the svn repository (svn.zope.org) through webdav? It would be convenient to do so, because of no firewall problems. From the cvs it is at least posssible to download a tarball, is this feature in the svn version of viewcvs not implemented or just switched of? Thanks Juergen Rose

About developing website in Zope
by Sony Adi S 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

Dear Friends in Zope community. Thank you for the help, now I am able to view my zope from other computers. I am very sorry if my question now is bothering all of you. I used to be able to build website with Macromedia dreamweaver, and after I finish my work, I upload it through cute FTP to webserver in my university. Now let say, I have a website that I have been built with dreamweaver and I want to upload" it in Zope Zserver machine, How do I do that? I have read the zope book, because I am not novice with IT, I can not find how to do that. Howabout, plone and webdav do they have the same function with Macromedia dreamweaver and frontpage? Thank you very much with the help Regards Sony Adi Susanto Bsc.

Unauthorized vs. Unauthorized vs. Unauthorized
by Derrick 'dman' Hudson 18 Jul '04

18 Jul '04

Which Unauthorized exception should I use in my own code? I see the following three imports in other zope code : from AccessControl import Unauthorized from AccessControl.unauthorized import Unauthorized from zExceptions import Unauthorized What is the difference between these?

rename and delete with cookie crumbler
by Joshua Newman 18 Jul '04

18 Jul '04

Hi all, I have a script which allows a user to upload a schedule to a site. If a file has already been uploaded, the user is kicked into a script asking if they want to overwrite it. Weird thing is that the script doesn't work with the cookie crumbler. Here's the script: ##file uploaded to tempfile to overwrite month_file filename=REQUEST.get('month_file') container.manage_delObjects(ids=filename) container.manage_renameObject('tempfile', filename ) u = REQUEST.cookies.get('referer', container.absolute_url() ) RESPONSE.redirect(u) I can delete by itself. I can rename by itself. (i.e. if I comment over the other command). But the two together make me authenticate over and over until I get an error message that says: Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 100, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 40, in call_object Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 306, in __call__ Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 343, in _bindAndExec Module Products.PythonScripts.PythonScript, line 318, in _exec Module None, line 10, in overwrite_file_py - <PythonScript at /masonicmed/schedules/overwrite_file_py> - Line 10 Module OFS.CopySupport, line 247, in manage_renameObject Module OFS.CopySupport, line 385, in _verifyObjectPaste Unauthorized: <unprintable instance object> n.b. The script works perfectly with http authentication on another similar site that doesn't have cookie crumbler. I've tried splitting the delete/rename into two scripts called sequentially and I get the same behavior. I've tried rename and rename rather than delete and rename. And I get the same behavior. And the reason I'm renaming tempfile is because I want the upload page to work, cache the file, and then decide if the user wants to overwrite it. I'm about to give up and just figure out a new system. Any help? Josh

Re: [Zope] Session Timeout Value
by hpinson＠indepthl.com 16 Jul '04

16 Jul '04

In Zope 2.51 running on Redhat 9, when I add the following to the z2.py config file: ZSESSION_TIMEOUT_MINS=120 And restart the server, nothing changes. The value of "Data object timeout value in minutes" in the session data container object, located in the temp_folder, remains at the default, 20. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Flash tutorials for newbies to Zope
by Ausum Studio 16 Jul '04

16 Jul '04

I'd like to build a tutorials library for newbies, made out of Flash files, covering the basics of Zope and the CMF. The one I've started with is about the use of ZClasses as a rapid prototyping tool. Since my knowledge of Zope is more practical than theorical, I'd like to call for the help of members of the community to review what I've done so far, in order to improve the overal quality of the contents (English faults probably), and to suggest&participate to plan the 'hot' tutorials that could help to lower the learning curve to newcomers. http://zope.org/Members/ausum/tutorials/zclass_tutorial_01 Ausum

MVCC is nice (we already use it) but its help for write contention is limited.

Luck is not a binary concept ;-) Our current most essential use case for "Version"s is reindexing large catalogs. Reindexing can take hours. It is bad when the reindexing fails due to a write conflict. It is much more acceptable when an intervening occational catalog update fails with a "VersionLockError". -- Dieter
