zope external editor problem - SOS
by fowlertrainer＠anonym.hu 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Hi ! I use the external editor program in my machine until zope 2.6.2. I have new working place, I have new machine. I install zope 2.7.2, and the new external editor. But some problems with it: I set the editor like this: # Uncomment and specify an editor value to override the editor # specified by the operating system editor = C:\Program Files\ConTEXT\ConTEXT.exe I copy the external editor into my instace product directory. But: When I try to open a py script, the PythonWin started. When I try to open an zpt, then it is two thing happened: a.) from mozilla the ms word started. b.) from IE the mozilla html editor started. I'm very sad, because the old, good working version is knew that it need to open the context editor for every file type. The new version is have nothing reaction, when I modify the editor section; it is never use the context. Why ? Please help me. Thanx: ft

local file system & external editor
by VIGNAUX Philippe 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

I refer to the problem explained below (previously submitted to zope.org) My question : Has anyone already manage to use together < local file system > and < external editor > successfully ? ( Editing & Saving with Microsoft tools [by the means of < external editor >] documents located in a < local FS > ) ps : it doesn't appear to be a < permission > problem and nothing is recorded in the error_log Thanks. Phil. -----Original Message----- Hi all ! My zope config : Zope 2.6.4 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), python 2.1.3, win32 My problem : I'm using a < local file system > containing some picture (jpg). Its name is PHVFS Im' also using < external editor > I also have some picture (jpg) contained in a common zope folder (named TST_FOLDER) (nb : PHVFS & TST_FOLDER are at the same level in the tree of my zope server) I have configured ZopeEdit.ini so that all < jpg > pictures are open with MS Photo Editor (and all < txt > must be opened under MS WORD). I have a page template showing some URL : - when i'm editing a < jpg > from TST_FOLDER, Photo Editor comes ; I update the picture and I can save it. - when i'm editing a < txt > from TST_FOLDER (eg : a python script), MS WORD comes ; I update the file and I can save it - when i'm editing a < jpg > from PHVFS, Photo Editor comes ; I update the picture and I CANNOT save it. - when i'm editing a < txt > from PHVFS (eg : a notepad file), MS WORD comes ; I update the file and I CANNOT save it. By < cannot save it > I mean that the application agrees to close normally, but when I open the file again, the changes have not been registered. Can anybody tells me what happen ? I need to make it work with a local file system. Thanks in advance. Phil ########################################### This message has been scanned by ICT - Africa Museum

Re: Zope 2.7 and scheduling
by Josef Meile 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Hi Chris, > The scheduler needs to be "poked" at intervals via a URL. You can use > cron to do this or you can use the attached "clock.py" to do so (the > "cron" attached also gives you an idea of what URL needs to be poked). Ok, with the clock.py script worked perfectly. However, I don't think is a good idea to pass the authentication credentials to it ie: % ./clock -s /Scheduler -a user:password A malicious user could see them via a: % ps -ef | grep clock so, I guess I will use cron+wget and a ".wgetrc" file which only root or other dedicated user with no login can access. Another way could be store them on clock.py and make it only accessible by root or other user. However, this approach requires you to modify the source. I don't know if there is a simplest way of achieving this. Thanks, Josef

SQLSession works great - ZopeSession is a disaster
by Harald Koschinski 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Hi, we used SQLSession for some years with success and switched to ZopeSession / CoreSession when we changed to Zope 2.6. At this moment the problems with Sessionmanagement began. I am now at the point thinking about a migration back to SQLSession. My Question now: Does SQLSession reliable work with Zope 2.6 and future releases or is this great / fantastic / best Zope product declared as dead?? regards Harald

Casey, Thanks for your interest to this concern. Here below, answers to your question. 1) Server: ExternalEditor-0.8-src.tgz Client: zopeedit-win32-0.8.exe Localfs: LocalFS-1-0-0.tgz 2) Let's assume I want to work on file "paradise.jpg" After updating the picture, I close MsPhotoEditor. A PhotoEditor dialogbox appear with question : "Do you want to save change to tmpuvldaj-127.0.0.1,8080,phvfs,paradise.jpg?" nb: I don't know what tmpuvldaj stands for ... I choose yes; MsPhotoEditor disappear. When I open again, no changes registered.

Single Sign-on using Zope
by Dilley, Hara 09 Aug '04

09 Aug '04

Hi We have a set of Zope applications that handle their own authentication using Zope. We also have a number of web applications using Java and Python CGI scripts and we would like to have users that have been authenticated through Zope to be able to access them without having to log in again. So the question is, can Zope set cookies as part of its authentication mechanism? And what are the strings in these cookies. There is also the reverse question: If a user gets authenticated through another application and has cookies set on his/her browser, how we can we use these "3rd party" cookies to authenticate a user in a Zope application? Many Thanks
