Map LDAP schema attributes to group
by Vecchio, Peppi 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

I'd like the best of both worlds. I'm currently running Python 2.3.5, Zope 2.7.7, and Plone 2.1 (final). Using LDAPUserFolder (2.5beta2) as the authentication method and it works perfectly. I'm using LDAPUF as the User Source and User Folder as the Groups Source. It's better for us to manage groups in Plone. But I'd like a little of the information in Active Directory to help with some "blanket" permissions. What I have is a folder that contains folders and files that need to be viewed by some personnel of the organization, but not others. For this, I've created a role called 'Reader' (Reader gets viewing permissions only). I create a group that I want to view folder A. At the local level, I assign this group the role 'Reader'. This will work fine, but I have to manually manage each group. What I'd like to do is use some of the LDAP schema attributes to act as a condition of permissionship. I can use this to create a portal tab: Title MOD Report 5 Id folderContent URL string:${portal_url}/corporate-reports/operations-reports/ Condition python: 'CN=MOD Report,CN=Users' in portal.portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember().getProperty("memberOf") Permission View Category portal_tabs Visible? checked This correctly creates the portal tab because the condition in this case is true. But because this member isn't a member of the group that is allowed to view the URL, when I click on the tab I get Insufficient Privileges. I was hoping there was a way that I could use this Property to map this member to a particular group. That way everyone that has memberOf - MOD Report in Active Directory would automagically be a member of said group. I've tried creating an action like this in portal_memberships and portal_groups, trying things like Category - global,folder and user but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can bind this Member Property to a Group without using LDAPUF as the Group Source? BTW, I don't want to create a portal tab for each permissioned folder. I just want to map to the group.

Hello, When installing the latest zope 2.8.1 (I want to upgrade plone to 2.1) I ran into problems compiling. I quote the last rows of the output her below.

Caching ImageFiles
by Peter Bengtsson 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

This might be a FAQ but I'm willing to take a chance. In class ImageFile (from App/ImageFile.py) the following headers are set when you view an ImageFile object: <pseudocode> 'Content-Type': self.content_type 'Last-Modified': self.lmh # RFC1123 'Cache-Control': 'public,max-age=3600' </pseudocode> What is the difference between 'Cache-Control' and 'Expires'? What is best to use and for what? I no longer know exactly why but in all my stylesheet DTML methods I set 'Expires': (DateTime()+10/24.0).rfc822() # 10 hours but not the 'Cache-Control'. Should I use both? -- Peter Bengtsson, work www.fry-it.com home www.peterbe.com hobby www.issuetrackerproduct.com

Zope Job in Athens, Greece
by Sascha Welter 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Hello Zope-World! We have a job offer for someone with good experience on handcrafted HTML and CSS, working on Zope projects. Knowledge of Zope can be acquired on the job, but we want good HTML/CSS that can be mixed in with ZPT. This is not a job for someone with years of knowledge of Zope already. But if you know a bit of Zope or are interested to learn about it and have the mentioned HTML/CSS background and a rough idea what building a web application is, then this may be for you. The job is in Athens, Greece. Yes, that's where the sun is shining and the sea is only a short ride away. You can take weekend trips to islands other people see only on postcards. And we get to eat fresh fish on business lunches :-) Telecommuting to other countries is *not* available for this position, as you would get cheated out of the fresh fish. We are a small to medium advertising company, with a robust business background. We are developing tools for providing more benefits and improving communication with our clients. Right now it's me as a Zope dev, next month we will have another Zope newby starting, and then we want you. If you are in Greece, this is obviously for your. If you are outside Greece (in EU), please note that Greece is not a high salary country, but a country with high quality of life. It might be interesting for you if you are the adventurous type. Speaking Greek would be nice, but we also do business in English. Please send your CV to me, not to the list! :-) Regards, Sascha

Re: [Zope] Character set problems
by Allen Schmidt 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

I will let you know...but it was slightly off in the specs I gave. It was a 2.7.0 on RH9 and new install is 2.7.7 on RHE4. If I take the offending text, cut and paste, and put on a different install of 2.7.5 on RHE4 then the encoding works fine and the characters show fine. Mainly bullets, apostrophes and quotes copied from a Word doc and pasted in as text to a dtml document. I changed the LANG encoding for the zope user that zope runs as. But did not change the root LANG encoding. If zope runs as zope does it START as zope or as root? (Linux novice here if you could not tell already) This did not seem to make a difference. Only thing I can see at this point is the difference in zope version. Nik - I will let you know if I do find out anything.

Kupu 1.3 under zope2
by Giuseppe Bonelli 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Can someone please confirm that kupu 1.3 works fine under zope2? I have just installed the 1.3 tarball but I get un error in kupumacros at the following line: <metal:slot define-slot="bootstrap-editor"> After fixing the illegal name the editor get displayed, but my test doc is not editable. If i try to edit it the kupu debug log shows the messages: 11:32:1 - Link tool initialized 11:32:1 - Image tool initialized 11:32:1 - Table tool initialized 11:32:1 - Source edit tool initialized 11:32:10 - Editor not initialized yet! Actually, uUpon inspection of the sources, it appears that the function initialize defined in KupuEditor does not get called at all. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks, __peppo

StructuredDocument size reduced after 2.5.1 to 2.7.5 upgrade
by John Schinnerer 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Hello again, I am using StructuredDocument objects in the custom products I am migrating to 2.7.5 from 2.5.1. In 2.7.5 I am now getting an error Value Error Maximum content length exceeded when attempting to save changes (edits) of StructuredDocument objects with "large" amounts of content - even when there was no problem with the same "large" amount of content in 2.5.1. This error under 2.7.5 happens if a migrated object already has more than a certain amount of content in it when I do a TTW edit/update of the object using e.g. self.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST) It also happens at some point when I start adding increasing amounts of text into a StructuredDocument object that initially has "small" amounts of content ("small" meaning not enough to trigger this error under 2.7.5). I don't know exactly how much is too much. I do know that it is not very much at all, and certainly far less than the DTML document basis for a StructuredDocument can hold. It is also far less than what my StructuredDocument objects *already hold* under 2.5.1. Anyone have any idea why I'm getting this size-related error with StructuredDocument only after migrating to 2.7.5? And how to fix it, of course... :-? thanks, John S. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

please explain the difference...
by akonsu 08 Sep '05

Hello, i have been reading about zope and plone for a few days now, and i have a question that i could not find an answer to. i understand zope is a server, that is, it is a process in OS. from what i could gather from the documentation, plone is a cms built on top of zope. why then when i install plone for windows from an msi, it appears that plone is also a server that runs alongside zope server just on a different http port? in addition, why the plone documentation keeps referring to plone as a server, and is using terms such as "start plone" and "stop plone"? so, is it a CMS that runs on top of zope or is it aan its own server? i am totally confused... i hope this is the right list to post this kind of plone questions. if not, i apologise, and i would appreciate if you could redirect me... thanks for any clarifications in advance.
