form-based authentication
by D. Rick Anderson 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Ok. I need to find a good replacement for GUF. We're up around 3000 users, and GUF is gagging pretty bad. I've been messing with exUserFolder, but untill there's better documentation on how to get it to authenticate from your own source, I'll have to look elsewhere (unless somebody out there knows of a good howto). I played with SimpleUserFolder, and it works, but doesn't have any method for form-based auth that I could figure out. I tried LoginManager, but every time I install it, my Zope server (2.6.2) crashes. I've burned almost 2 days on this and now they're putting some pressure on me to get this working. so ... is there: A) better documentation on one of the previously mentioned products so as to make it work correctly? B) some other product that can do this? I'm authenticating off of an Oracle Database with GUF, and I need that ability in whatever is used to replace it. TIA Rick

Cookie/Authentication Problem
by Michael Havard 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

I'm having problems logging into a site and I'm not sure if it's a CMF problem, a ZOPE problem or a Plone problem. I installed Plone 1.05 and upon attempting to login it would tell me I had to have cookies enabled. I looked for help on their site but all the information said that the cookie problem was now fixed in both IE5/6. So I decided to try just a 2.7b ZOPE install and CMF 1.4. I log into the CMF site using the login page and it tells me I'm logged in but as soon as I go to any other page it tells me I have to login again. Should I go even further back to 2.6 and CMF 1.31 or is there some fix for this problem out there that I just haven't been able to find. _________________________________________________________________ Instant message in style with MSN Messenger 6.0.

Cataloging/ignoring objects that generate errors on indexing
by Jean-Francois.Doyon＠CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Hello, I'm trying to update my catalog, and much to my surprise, it ain't working ! Some objects require form parameters and so on, raise errors when none are provided. So now when I ask the catalog (In this case a CMF one, but the fact it's CMF shouldn't really matter, right?) to index everything it can find, it raises an error when it lands on such objects. Now this has never happened ot me before, and I'd always assumed that objects that raised errors while being index simply didn't get indexed, hence my suprise. I was actually counting on such doucments NOT getting indexed BECAUSE they raise errors. Admitedly, I'm doing something somewhat out of the ordinary. I have a CMF Document that actually renders/interprets TAL (Basically a CMF Document ZPT). SearchableText() runs a CookedBody that does the ZPT rendering ... Of course NOT using CookedBody at indexing might be an option, but I'm not sure of the consequences ... Some documents that have simple tal:replace/tal:content type instructions in them I DO want to have Cooked before indexing ... Anybody have any good ways or suggestions on how to get around this ? Any help would be much appreciated!

Portal views strangeness
by Andreas Tille 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Hello, I'm running a couple of Plone and ZMS sites on one of my boxes. Recently I faced the problem that I'm not able to view the normal "Contents" in the ZMI for *some* (not all) of these portals. If I try to view the portal in ZMI I just get the "View" view instead the normal overview of the folder as it is normal in ZMI. This is true for some Plone and some ZMI sites while other test sites show the normal behaviour. I also tested several browsers (Galeon, Mozilla, Konqueror, Opera, even w3m) and all show the same strange behaviour. Today I had explicitely to switch to http://wr-linux02.rki.ivbb.bund.de:9673/plone_site/portal_migration/manage_… to do the migration of this Plone site to a higher Plone version because I was not able to navigate through normal ZMI to this place. Any hints? Kind regards Andreas.

people structuring

> > >Why do you have containers for the different types of persons? > >A more natural thing would be to have just one container and >use catalog searches (or "topic"s) to determine the subsets >as necessary. > My thoughts were that people are spread across our organisiation in different groupings, and may belong to more than one grouping. Other 'objects' may contain these groups eg: a unit object has one or more lecturers, as well as many students. A committee object has members etc. What I wanted was to find a way to keep to the object oriented spirit of zope/python and to be able to express things like funCommittee.members.joe.shoeSize and mathsClass.lecturers.joe.shoeSize where joe's shoe size is not a property of 'joe the lecturer' or 'joe the committee member' but of 'joe the person'. And wouldn't it be nice if for some reason joe's feet swelled during lecturing and had a different size, and mathsClass.lecturers.joe.shoeSize could return the correct shoeSize in this context! (Something similar to aquisition but not quite as Units may not be within the Person structure). Maybe I want a "Link Object" product where 'joe the lecturer' is just a link to 'joe the person' but with aquisition rules following the link heirarchy. The above is probably mostly fantasy, so I'll investigate doing it with catalogues but don't know if it will be as pretty. Thanks, Roman.

[Warning] "No more ReadConflicts" patch can cause inconsistencies
by Dieter Maurer 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Dear Zope community, I have to admit that my "No more ReadConflicts" patch can cause ZODB inconsistencies. Probability is low but not zero. Details can be found on <mailto:zodb-dev@zope.org>. This fault was revealed by one of the ZODB 3.1.2 InvalidationTests which can fail on high speed servers. The problem can not be fixed for ZODB 3.1. I will work on a patch for ZODB 3.2 which avoids this problem (by implementing part of Jeremy's MVCC proposal). Dieter

Simple way to programmatically merge several PDF files within Zope?

Hello everyone, I've been looking for the answer to this and come up blank. Maybe one of you can help. I have a number of PDF files in a LocalFS directory that I would like to programmatically merge into larger, combined files, preferably within Zope. Does anything come to mind, any ideas on a simple way to do this? Thank you, Chris

Zope version for RH 8.0 with Python 2.2?
by John Wheeler 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

I'm running RH 8.O with Python version 2.2. I tried Marcus Schopen's RPM ( http://ftp.dzug.org/Zope/redhat/8.0/zope-2.6.2b3-1.i386.rpm ) but I got an error opening http://localhost:8080/manage page. I get errors trying "rpm -i python2.3..." and "rpm -i --oldpackage python2.1...". Is there any version of Zope that actually works with python2.2.2 ? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
