Re: ChartDirector and Zope
by hpinson＠indepthl.com 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi Paul, yes I did, but not as an external python method, which is what I was hoping for. What I ended up doing was defining a cgi-local folder under the Apache site root, which sits in front of my Zope instance. Using rewriterules I can access the cgi-local directory from Zope and pass arguments to the python chart script and render results with no problems: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.yoursite.org ServerAlias yoursite.org *.yoursite.org ServerAdmin info(a)yoursite.org CustomLog /var/log/apache/yoursite.org/combined_log "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/ Alias /cgi-local/ /var/www/html/yoursite.org/cgi-local/ <Directory "/var/www/html/yoursite.org/cgi-local"> Options +ExecCGI AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> # Zope rewrite. RewriteEngine On RewriteRule /cgi-local/ - [L] RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://216.147.203.60:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.mystandards.org:80 /http/mystandards.org/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P] </VirtualHost> The Perl version of ChartDirector would work too in this instance, but I am very happy with the Python library. FYI... ChartDirector is just outstanding for the price, and very much worth the 100 dollars it costs. The variety of charts (that work) is just amazing! I would very much have liked to get this working as a Zope external Python method, but had no luck at all with that, and ran out of time to research. No sure at all what the problem was, but I could not render output at all from the chart. If you figure this out, please let me know.

UserFolder problem
by Phil Beardmore 16 May '05

16 May '05

Hi All, hope you can help... I have a problem trying to use the LDAPUserFolder product. Basically I have a site named www.myname.com, and the site is Plone powered. I have a normal UserFolder at the top level folder which holds the members who have manager roles etc. On the site I have a folder called "Staff" and a folder called students. Now for LDAP. I have an Ldap server which has a tree called Business, then under the tree are two more subfolders (called staff and student). I need to get the staff folder of the site authenticating against the staff tree in LDAP. So I go into the staff folder, add a LDAPUserFolder and set the settings up correctly. I then navigate to the staff folder and make the pages viewable to only members, managers and authenticated users. Thing is, when I try and view the page I am asked to login, but it automatically uses the root acl_users folder, and not the one in the "staff" folder. So, the page re-drects you to http://myname.com/login_form which doesnt work with the LDAP usernames etc, but I know LDAP is definately working because If I point to http://myname.com/staff/login_form it works. Is there any way of setting which userfolder plone looks at? Many thanks for your time. Phil

What does Access Content Info. mean for folders?
by Daniel Dekany 16 May '05

16 May '05

Maybe I'm just lame, but I can't find a description of the commonly used Zope permission anywhere. (Isn't it missing from the "Users and Security" chapter of the Zope book? How I am supposed to manage the site security if I know everything but the meaning of the concrete permissions?) Mostly, I would like to *know* (as opposed to try-and-guess) what does "Access contents information" mean. The definitions I have found on the Net was rather foggy. I guess because the meaning of this permission depends on the object in question... but is there a summary for the most commonly used objects at least? Especially, what does it mean for folders? At the first glance it specifies if I can get a contained object, but then I have found that somehow it doesn't apply to the contained objects that are folders, because I can always get those. Is this the rule? -- Best regards, Daniel Dekany

Corrupt Data.fs / ZODB
by Michael Kaplan 16 May '05

16 May '05

Sorry, I already wrote nearly the same mail in April but nobody answered. Since I cannot believe that there is no simple and well known solution for this problem - which probably affects many zope users - I try the same posting again. Any help is welcome but it should not be an option to erase the last 3 months of work and to return to the state before the mistake. ____________________ original posting _________________________________ I just found out that my Data.fs is corrupt. Zope is still running, and restarting but I'm getting POSKeyErrors if I want to see folder contents and in many other situations. I tried to follow the advice in http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1095965033 (I use Zope-2.7.4) but end up with the 5th item there which says !! !! 5. Get at the Zope path for the container of the object that's throwing the POSKeyError: !! !! >>> obj=root.unrestrictedTraverse('/path/to/container') When I try this I get >>> obj=root.unrestrictedTraverse('/folder') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? NameError: name 'root' is not defined what's wrong here? I don't know what the author of this text means with '/path/to/container' and what I have to put there for 'root'. Therefore I used fsrefs.py and got information like oid 0x030571 Products.CMFCore.ActionInformation.ActionInformation last updated: 2005-03-14 08:20:34.643177, tid=0x35BE85493CF9666L refers to invalid object: oid 0x0304fa object creation was undone: 'Products.CMFCore.Expression.Expression' For this oid I get > python Python 2.4 (#1, Jan 14 2005, 00:24:33) [GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from Zope.Startup.run import configure;configure('/etc/zope.conf') >>> from Zope import app >>> from ZODB.utils import p64 >>> from ZODB import POSException >>> app = app() >>> obj = app._p_jar[p64(0x030571)] >>> print obj.getId() view >>> print obj.bobobase_modification_time() 2005/03/14 09:20:34.643 GMT+1 >>> print obj.meta_type simple item >>> print obj.__ac_local_roles__ None Could anybody tell me, how I can delete this object from Data.fs? Will obj.manage_delObjects(id) do the job for me? What parameters do I have to give to the programm? Thanks a lot in advance Michael

assertion error
by Denis Mishunoff 15 May '05

15 May '05

Hello, Zope community. I use Zope 2.7.3, Python 2.3.4 and Plone 2.0.5 I have a strange behavior of template. It displays OK when accessing via IP address, but when I try to access it via name I get assertion error. Template uses the script that contains assertion: ... if brain.Title != '': obj = brain.getObject() # here it is assert(obj) type = obj.getAdvert_type() hereTitle = brain.Title ... As you can guess, variable "brain" contains brain from catalog. So, when I access the template, using this script via name it raises Assertion Error. Seems like it can't get object from catalog. But it works with IP... Please advise what is my problem. Thank you. -- Best regards, Denis Mishunoff mailto:spliter@sdtcom.lg.ua http://plonetarium.objectis.net
