numeric formatting
by David H 17 Jul '05

17 Jul '05

Hi List, I will have to format numbers based on country and currency types. I understand the locale module can do this. I've done some googling on this but cant seem to get anything definitive. I've read that the local module is not thread-safe but I do not know how this would impact my Zope app. I do know that I would want to be able to change from one currency format to another depending on which currency conversation the user may want. Really my question is, what approach is recommended for a Zope application to format numbers according to currency type? David

[ATTN]: CMF and related packages moved to svn.zope.org
by Jens Vagelpohl 17 Jul '05

17 Jul '05

Hi everyone, I just finished migrating the CMF and related projects from cvs.zope.org to svn.zope.org, from CVS to Subversion. All tags and branches have moved, unlike Zope itself there won't be some development using CVS and some using Subversion. These are the packages: - CMF - CMF_Hotfixes - CMF_Extras They packages became new toplevel projects at svn.zope.org, as can be seen here: http://svn.zope.org/ Pending final agreement on the CMF list (or an overriding word from the CMF Pope himself) svn.zope.org will now be the canonical location for CMF sources. They are accessed just like Zope 2.8 and Zope trunk as described here: http://www.zope.org/DevHome/Subversion/ZopeSVNFAQ The only difference is, of course, the last element in the path. Eveerything else works as described in the document linked above. The packages are at... /repos/main/[CMF|CMF_Extras|CMF_Hotfixes] ***To all CMF developers***: Please change your sandboxes and convert them to SVN. If you see any problem please make it known on the CMF list as soon as possible. No data is lost on cvs.zope.org, so if there are show-stoppers we can always switch back to using CVS. Please **do not** commit into cvs.zope.org or svn.zope.org until we have a "yay" or "nay" on which repository we go forward with. ***Next steps***: If we have agreement on using svn.zope.org a couple cleanup tasks need to be done, such as... - "Close off" or "freeze" the CMF projects on cvs.zope.org to either disallow checkins or bring up big fat warnings if someone tries to. Input and ideas on this are welcome, if it was up to me I would use the "commitinfo" file in the CVSROOT to completely prevent updates as the first step. - Change any references to cvs.zope.org in the CMF code to their svn.zope.org equivalents - Change any references to cvs.zope.org on the project web pages, mostly http://www.zope.org/Products/CMF, to point to the svn.zope.org equivalent - Change any download instructions that use CVS to instructions for SVN jens

Hi! I can't seem to figure out from the documentation or through web research how it is possible to change the currently logged in user pythonically (e.g. in an fs product or extension method). Can anybody give me a hint? TIA, Ole

servlet filter like behaviour
by Laurian Gridinoc 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hello, How it is possible to wrap the response of a subtree? For example, for the path /foo/bar/baz, a script located at /foo/wrapper would catch the output of the rest of the request path (./bar/baz) and do a transformation upon it (gzip, xslt, etc). Thank you, -- Laurian Gridinoc, www.grapefruit.ro

LDAPUSerFolder permission problem
by Nicholas Watmough 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

I'm trying to access the getProperty() method of the LDAPUser class in a Python script, in order to access the Active Directory email address of the user. There is no problem with this, if I use the method on the current active user. However, it doesn't work when I attempt to use the method on another property. The output of VerboseSecurity is: *Error Type: Unauthorized* *Error Value: Your user account does not have the required permission. Access to 'getProperty' of nwuser denied. Your user account, abuser, exists at /acl_users. Access requires one of the following roles: ['Manager']. Your roles in this context are ['Anonymous', 'Authenticated', 'User'].* It appears that the currently authenticated used has the 'View' permission (required to use getProperty) on itself, but not for other users. I'm not sure how to change this. In order to get around this problem, I've tried giving the script a Proxy role of Manager. However, when I do this, i get the following output from VerboseSecurity: *Error Type: Unauthorized* *Error Value: The owner of the executing script is defined outside the context of the object being accessed. The script has proxy roles, but they do not apply in this context.. Access to 'getProperty' of nwuser denied. Access requires one of the following roles: ['Manager']. The executing script is (PythonScript at /DCARF/Forms/initialContact/initialContact), owned by admin1. * ** I'm not sure why this is occurring. Giving the script a proxy role of Manager should get around the first problem, but I'm not sure why it doesn't. Any ideas what is causing this?

Hi I'm looking for a zope (not plone) userFolder that can hold the user's email and perhaps full name. It should be the same authentication method, but with additional fields. Do I have to write one myself or are there already products that have this feature? thanx -- Haim

Passing a variable to RESPONSE.redirect
by Asad Habib 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Is it possible to pass a variable to RESPONSE.redirect or does the page name have to be a literal string? I was unable to pass in a variable via the REQUEST object (i.e. REQUEST.get('pageName')) or the SESSION attribute of the REQUEST object (i.e. REQUEST.SESSION.get('pageName')). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. - Asad
