Zope 2.9.5 -> 2.9.6 DateTime Change
by Brian Brinegar 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

Today I started testing Zope 2.9.6. After the upgrade I noticed that some calendar data generated from Oracle was wrong. After some investigation I found that Zope 2.9.6 seems to assign a timezone of GMT+0 when none is specified rather than using the server's timezone. For example, the following SQL query to an oracle database: select TO_DATE('12-13-2006 01:00','MM-DD-YYYY HH:MI') from dual Under 2.9.5 returns: 2006/12/13 01:00:00 US/Eastern Under 2.9.6 returns: 2006/12/13 01:00:00 GMT+0 There was clearly no time zone defined in the query, and it's the same Oracle server. Is this an intended change? We have hundreds of developers working independently within our system so it's not possible to adapt each application to account for this change. Any advice on moving to Zope 2.9.6? In the mean time I my try to back port specific bug fixes into 2.9.5. Thank you, -- Brian Brinegar Web Systems Developer Engineering Computer Network

hello thanks for your help. I am doing a new pluging for PAS, I need take users and login for Plone. To do it, i did this class: class ValidaPlugin(BasePlugin): """ PAS plugin """ uservar = 'X_REMOTE_USER' meta_type = 'ValidaPlugin' security = ClassSecurityInfo() _properties = ({'id':'uservar','type':'string'},) def __init__(self, id, title=None): self._id = self.id = id self.title = title security.declarePrivate('authenticateCredentials') def authenticateCredentials(self, credentials): """ Authentication Part """ login = credentials.get('login', '') password = credentials.get('password', '') return login, login classImplements(ValidaPlugin, IAuthenticationPlugin) InitializeClass(ValidaPlugin) it work bad, it start with everything i put on username and password, it don´t validate if user exist. How can i do it???

RE: [Zope] Re: FW: Problem Starting Zope after Installation

Eric ~ My Zope is up and running, thanks to you! It turned out there were two other Python-related environment variables, both of which I deleted: > PYTHONPATH = %SystemDrive%\IBMTOOLS\utils\support;%SystemDrive%\IBMTOOLS\utils\logger > PYTHONCASEOK = 1 So, just for the record (and the next unsuspecting ThinkPadder who comes along), in all 4 ThinkPad variables had to go - the two above, plus the first two you told me about: > TCL_LIBRARY=C:\IBMTOOLS\Python22\tcl\tcl8.4 > TK_LIBRARY=C:\IBMTOOLS\Python22\tcl\tk8.4 ~ Thanks a million ~ Ken -----Original Message----- From: Eric Fu [mailto:ericfu88@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 7:32 PM To: Ken Winter Subject: Re: [Zope] Re: FW: Problem Starting Zope after Installation Do you have some environment variable called 'PYHTHONIGNORECASE' (or something like that)? Delete it and try to restart zope. You don't need to reinstall things. it's a run time problem, not an installation problem. On 1/31/07, Ken Winter <ken(a)sunward.org> wrote: Eric ~ Right you are! A ThinkPad R52. So I removed those environment variables, restarted the machine, invoked Zope, and. still got the same error, "No module named ImplPython". So I'm wondering: 1. Is it possible that you did anything else, anything beyond removing those variables, that might have brought about your success? 2. Do you think I need to reinstall Zope after making the change? ~ Thanks ~ Ken -----Original Message----- From: Eric Fu [mailto:ericfu88@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 11:58 PM To: ken(a)sunward.org Subject: RE: [Zope] Re: FW: Problem Starting Zope after Installation I bet you had the problem on a ThinkPad too. I had the same problem about the "No module named ImplPython" problem. After spending a couple of hours on it. I found out that the problem is to do with an default installation of Python 2.2 that comes with my ThinkPad. After I removed these two environment variables zope will start: TCL_LIBRARY=C:\IBMTOOLS\Python22\tcl\tcl8.4 TK_LIBRARY=C:\IBMTOOLS\Python22\tcl\tk8.4
