Zope utf-8 problem using MySQL
by Hugo Ramos 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

Yellow ppl, I'm using Zope 2.10.5 + MySQL 5.0.51a + MySQL-python-1.2.2. Everything is set to utf-8. In MySQL server and client is set to utf-8 and utf8_general_ci In Zope zpublisher is set to utf-8 I even created the (in)famous sitecustomize.py in Python 2.4.4 site-packages The problem is that when retrieving data from a table the international chars become alien symbols... The only way I get the right symbols is using SET NAMES 'utf8' <dtml-var sql_delimiter> on top of each sql method. What am I missing? Thanks -- Hugo Ramos http://www.hugoramos.eu/ ramosh(a)gmail.com

Managing Zope objects in Subversion
by martin.gfeller＠comit.ch 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

Dear all We use Zope for the user interface part of our software product. We currently export the whole folder hierarchy into a .zexp file and maintain this file in Subversion. I'm looking for a way to manage a folder structure as individual Zope objects in Subversion. In fact, maintaining the Zope objects in the file system would suffice, there is no need to edit them with external editors or to be able to use Subversion from within Zope (we use TurtoiseSVN). We're using: - Zope 2.10 - Windows - DTML (yes) Documents and Methods; lots of external methods; some images; and a low number of various other Zope objects. - Zope Objects and particularly Folders have security settings using custom roles I've browsed/googled and looked into books, and found a few products and hints, but most of them seem to be very outdated or not applicable to a Windows environment. Hence I would be very grateful for hints about the "state-of-the-art" way to achieve this. Thank you and best regards Martin ________________________ COMIT AG - A Swisscom Company Martin Gfeller, Senior Manager Risk Management - Quantax Pflanzschulstrasse 7 CH-8004 Zurich Switzerland mailto:martin.gfeller@comit.ch http://www.comit.ch/ http://www.quantax.com/ - Market Risk & Return

Questions about the installer, packaging
by Timothy Selivanow 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

I'm investigating the creation of an RPM for Fedora, but I'd like to get some info before I dive too deeply... 1) It seems like the packaging list is defunct, or at least hasn't had anything but SPAM since 2003. Is there an appropriate list to discuss packaging issues (zope-dev perhaps)? 2) Is there any documentation on the installer options to help with placing things in the "correct" distro specific directories? --Tim _____________________________________________________________ < Z.O.I.D.: Zombie Optimized for Infiltration and Destruction > ------------------------------------------------------------- \ \ \ \ /\ ( ) .( o ).

Simple security question
by Duncan Murdoch 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

I'm making some changes to an existing Zope setup. The original author has moved on, and I don't have previous experience with Zope: so the setup is relatively well-designed, but I don't really know the low-level basics well. It's some version of Zope 2 (I'm not sure how to get exact version information.) The problem is this: we have an existing web site that works well. I'd like to create a few pages that are private, accessible only by a list of authorized users. So I created a new directory, and added some users to the acl_users folder. Then on the security page for this directory, I unchecked all the "acquire permission settings" boxes, and checked every permission for the class of user I created. (Later I'll reduce the list, but for now they have everything.) But they still get permission failures when they try to do anything. The log shows the error: You are not allowed to access 'pythonMethods' in this context I have several directories with that name on different parts of the site, so it's not completely clear to me which one I'm not allowed to access. The error log shows this traceback: Traceback (innermost last): * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 98, in publish * Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object * Module OFS.DTMLDocument, line 133, in __call__ <DTMLDocument instance at bfa00e0> URL: http://xxxxxxx/test/edit/manage_main Physical Path:/xxx/test/edit * Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 474, in __call__ * Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Util, line 195, in eval __traceback_info__: pythonMethods * Module OFS.DTMLMethod, line 152, in validate Unauthorized: You are not allowed to access 'pythonMethods' in this context (I've xx'd out the URL because I'm pretty sure I haven't got the security setup right.) The test/edit page is a DTML document, which contains this line <dtml-var "pythonMethods.displayheader(id())"> but I'm not certain this is the line that triggers the error. My questions: 1. Are there simple examples of this kind of security setup somewhere? 2. How do I diagnose what's going wrong? Duncan Murdoch

ZopeTestCase and Selenium RC? Anybody?
by Peter Bengtsson 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Has anybody managed to marry ZopeTestCase (and the ZopeLite running database) with Selenium RC? I like Selenium but it's a pain to have to manually create a fixture and tear it down again. Would it be possible to kick start Selenium RC from within the testrunner on zope2? -- Peter Bengtsson, work www.fry-it.com home www.peterbe.com hobby www.issuetrackerproduct.com

For the record
by Peter Bengtsson 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

I wanted to see how much faster brain.getObject() would be if the returned object was located in a BTreeFolder versus a normal folder so I wrote a benchmark that created about 10,000 light simple objects in two distinctly different containers and each with a ZCatalog that has a PathIndex. I would expect the BTreeFolder parenting calls of brain.getObject() to be much faster but I found that there was NO DIFFERENCE. wtf?! The benchmark is too messy to share right now but how come this could have happened? getObject() basically does a parent.restrictedTraverse(path_splitted[-1]) which should be some sort of getattr() on the container right? Is there something obvious I've missed? -- Peter Bengtsson, work www.fry-it.com home www.peterbe.com hobby www.issuetrackerproduct.com

content headers wrong after upload
by Michael Shulman 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

I just noticed that when I submit a form to a zope script(python) that includes a file upload, the content-type and content-length headers of the response are incorrectly set to those of the uploaded file, rather than those of what the script actually returns. Any ideas why this could be happening? I'm running zope 2.9.6 on Debian etch. Thanks, Mike

Upgrading a Product from Zope 2.7 to Zope 2.10
by Mark Hellewell 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Hello, I'm in the middle of trying to upgrade a Product written for Zope 2.7 so that it runs on Zope 2.10! The product appears in the newer ZMI's list of available products but whenever I try to add an object of the products type through the ZMI I get the following error in the event.log and nothing is added to the site: Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 125, in publish Module Zope2.App.startup, line 238, in commit Module transaction._manager, line 96, in commit Module transaction._transaction, line 395, in commit Module transaction._transaction, line 495, in _commitResources Module ZODB.Connection, line 502, in commit Module ZODB.Connection, line 1046, in savepoint Module ZODB.Connection, line 555, in _commit Module ZODB.Connection, line 582, in _store_objects Module ZODB.serialize, line 407, in serialize TypeError: Can't pickle objects in acquisition wrappers. additionally, if I take a Data.fs from my Zope 2.7 instance and try running with it in place on a 2.10 instance the various objects of the product already created simply don't show up (no broken icon, nothing) Running Zope 2.10.5 and Python 2.4.4 and the Product in question was written using CMF 1.4.2 (but now upgraded to CMF 1.6.4, I've made several changes already to accomodate this upgrade) I'd be grateful for any insight anyone might have or any hints at what to do next! Thanks, Mark

Choosing printer in client computer
by rieh25 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

I need an application to choose a specific printer in a client computer (not the server) for printing reports. Internet explorer uses register entries to configure the default printer, but the problem is that an external script would do this changes in the server, not the local computer. Or should I just give up trying to use Zope and use an external utility (MS Access perhaps) to manage the printing part of the application? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Choosing-printer-in-client-computer-tp16130952p161309… Sent from the Zope - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
