Page Template security problem
by Chris Beaven 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

I'm having a problem figuring out how to keep things secure while allowing a proxied script to call a page template correctly. /details/sendDetails Python script that is publicly available, receives an email address and sends that person thier details stored in the database. The script has proxy rights of "Administrator". /admin/person/emaildetails.htm Page template that is secured (admin folder is Administrator only for "view" and "access contents information"). The anonymous user is prompted for authentication. If I change emaildetails.htm to a simple "test" text file it works, the problem seems to lie when the template tries to access any script from the context. I tried to give those scripts proxy rights too but that had no effect. Am I going about this the wrong way, is there something I missed, or am I just going to have to revert to rewriting the whole details.htm as DTML?

Re: [Zope] ZOPE and DEBIAN INSTALLTION
by Benmania Guin 28 Sep '05

Yes. It was more a general question. I actually used the DEBIAN Version 'cause when I installed it, you had not sent your answer.- I am wondering whether everything will work properly if I have two servers both an apache AND Zope running. I distinguish them by ports - the "normal" 80 PORT for Zope (for all HTTP requests) and Apache using all other ports (using it as a mailserver and stuff). Besides that, if I want to deinstall the old ZOPE version, is it possible to simply delete simply all files or is there any special deinstallation process?

ZOPE and DEBIAN INSTALLTION
by Benmania Guin 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Hi, I successfully installed ZOPE on my VServer which has an DEBIAN op. I want to change ports now in order to have access via a "normal" HTTP request. How do I change ports and what port is the right one? Benjamin ______________________________________________________________ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!

Re: [Zope] possible to do /search/ over multiple zope instance homes?
by chris_beaumont＠ncafe.com 28 Sep '05

Dear Chris, This is not the only answer, but I think its a good one. If you take care to use the absolute_url() function to generate URLs you can easily use a standalone web search tool like htdig, running under Apache, to spider all of your visble content, and provide unified search results across any number of hosts or even domains. Its a hack, but it has some advantages - like being super easy to set up, and only showing linked, 'viewable-by-Anonymous users' content by default.

Any hope of *merging* 2 'zope instance home's ??
by seberino＠spawar.navy.mil 28 Sep '05

I have 2 Zope/Plone sites each with their own 'zope instance home'. Any hope of *merging* these into *ONE* zope instance home so that I can do /search/ over both??? How merge both Data.fs's? Thanks! Chris

including a ZPT inside a repeat loop
by Matthew White 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Hello, I've got this following bit of ZPT: <tal:loop repeat="t container.py.get_queue(whence=q, userid=userid))"> <span tal:replace="structure here/queue_template"> Queue Template Goes Here </span> within queue_template I reference the "t" loop variable. Unfortunately this fails with a KeyError, which I'm guessing is because "t" isn't available to the "queue_template" ZPT. Is there a way to make "t" available to "queue_template"? -mtw -- Matthew White - District Systems Administrator Tigard/Tualatin School District 503.431.4128 "The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving." -Oliver Wendell Holmes

date problem
by tyson 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

The date is actually coming from a postgresql database. I checked the zope.conf file, and it's set for "us". Now that you mentioned that, I tried creating a variable within dtml and when I do that, it works just fine. Now I guess I'm looking at a postgresql problem!

date problem
by tyson 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hi- I upgraded from (Zope 2.7.3-0, python 2.3.4, linux2) to (Zope 2.8.0-final, python 2.4.1, linux2). If I use the fmt="%m/%d....", then the date is incorrect. If I don't use the fmt, then my date is logically correct, just not formatted the way I want it. For some reason when I use the "fmt" with the zope variable, it changes my date to exactly one day earlier. For example: SomeDate = "2005/12/02" If I write this code: <dtml-var SomeDate fmt="%m/%d/%Y"> Then I get: "12/01/2005" If I write this code: <dtml-var SomeDate> Then I get: "2005/12/02" Does anybody have an idea what this could be from? I'm guessing its a python2.4 conflict, but not really sure. Any help would be much appreciated!
