Choice of HTML editors
by Ian Nunn 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

I'd be interested in what experienced Zope developers use. HTML I've seen output from FrontPage is rather verbose and complex. I personally use the freeware version of AceHTML and largely write my own simple HTML with it. I assume the development process is create the basic page layout in an editor and then insert Zope tags. What are the "best practices" people use in this regard? Best Regards Ian Nunn School of Computer Science Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, CA

ZAAPlugins works for MS Office but not for OpenOffice
by Tariq Rashid 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Hi, after wanted to index PDFs and MS Office files, I found various items on the internet which point to the use of ZAAPlugins and PloneExFile. This seems to work well. However, openoffice files (.sxw, .sxi for example) aren't handled or recognised. Is there a solution or plugin for this? Even if there is none, can i override the defualt icon that is displayed for these images? The question mark icon is a little confidence-uninspiring! I did try to use the "find" tool on zope to find a mapping from extension/type to icon but couldn't find one. tariq

How to upgrade Zope-2.7.1 to Zope-2.7.4 (Windows)
by Trung Tran 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Hi, I want to upgrade my Zope-2.7.1 to the lastest version Zope-2.7.4 in Windows. As far as I know it might be done by simply installing Zope-2.7.4 (using the executale binary Zope-2.7.4-0-win32.exe) over the existing Zope-2.7.1 (meaning the destination directory will be the existing Zope home). I have created many Zope instances (using Zope-2.7.1) running as Windows services. So if I upgrade the existing Zope-2.7.1 (rather than install Zope-2.7.4 in a new directory) then I don't have to make any change into my existing Zope instances. Could anyone tell that this is the right thing to do it or I would miss anything? Thanks, Trung Tran Email: trung.tran(a)hwe.com.au

Hierarchical content
by Greg Gehrich 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

I want to be able to create content and then attach sub-content to it. For example, if tasks were the content, it would look like the following: go shopping get bananas get bread pick up cleaning get shirt get pants clean house clean kitchen clean mixer clean clean sink clean bedroom I don't want to have the overhead of creating and sifting through folders as you navigate the hierarchy. In order to do this, I need the ability to have content that has folderish properties allowing sub content. Is there a product out there that has similar characteristics? If I were to build this, what tools within plone would I use?

Bug in ZClasses based products, in Zope 2.7.3 and 2.7.4
by Ausum Studio 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Apparently the distribution creation machinery is not respecting the "Disallow redistribution and allow user ..." option. This are the steps I followed to reproduce the problem using two new Zope instances. a) Created two Zope instances, A and B. Created a foobar product in Control_panel/Products, in instance A b) Created a simple ZClass, using ObjectManager and OFS Folder as Base Classes, checking "Include standard Zope persistent ..." d) Went to Control_Panel/Products/foobar and the Distribution tab, checked "Disallow redistribution...", without checking any product's object, and then I created the distribution tar. e) Installed the "foobar" product in instance B. After starting instance B, the foobar product is not redistributable but fully editable, even though I didn't allow any object to be configurable.. As I recall, this is wrong, and all of the objects ought to be protected, in this case. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I'd like some hints on this subject. Thanks in advance, Ausum

securing webdav
by David Bear 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

I'm looking for ways to secure webdav. I am using apache to front end zope, using fastcgi like this: FastCgiExternalServer /home/www/cmf \ -host localhost:8089 -pass-header Authorization This works great. I looked and using rewrites and proxypass by wanted to keep the source ip passed along in the request to zope. Anyway, is there a way to have apache pass webdav requests as well through https ? I am currently using stunnel to secure webdav traffic, but I thought there might be an easier way. -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
