Folder name from URL etc.
by Samir Mishra 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Hello all, How do I go from a URL to an object name? I have acl_users folders defined at different levels and I would like to use AUTHENTICATION_PATH to find out what level a user has authorization up to. At each folder level I have a 'Messages' folder and I'd like to display the contents of the correct folder depending on the users' clearance/home folder. TIA. Regards, Samir

Synchronizing Two (Disparate) Zope Installations
by Roy Rapoport 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

We'd love some sort of capability for comparing a directory (and all its contents and their contents etc) on one zope server with the same-named directory at a different path on a different Zope server -- in other words: http://server1/path1/to/RootDirectory vs. http://server2/path2/to/the/RootDirectory And ideally also easily synchronize them. ZSyncer, which is no longer in very active development, requires the directory path to be the same. Is there another product we might be able to use?

Can't build resource file for PCGI on Zope 2.7b1
by Aguido Horatio Davis 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

G'day, I am installing Zope on a server whose only Python is 2.3 and which is already running Apache on port 80. Port 80 is the only one that is permitted through our local firewalls, a small but significant percentage of the audience are outside the firewall, and the system administrator (who isn't me) refuses point-blank to permit the use of mod_fastcgi or mod_proxy. So I'm trying to build Zope 2.7b1 with PCGI support. When the dust settles on the "make build; make install" there is no Zope.cgi to be seen. The file doc/WEBSERVERS.txt has the intriguing sentence: To install PCGI, please get the PCGI support package from XXX, and read the pcgi/README.txt file from that package. and then blithely describes what to do once you _have_ a Zope.cgi file to play with. Can anybody point me at the mysterious XXX, or failing that, tell me how to coerce Zope 2.7 into coughing up a Zope.cgi file? Cheers, Horatio

inaccessible objects in my zope.org members folder
by Sean Gillies 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Am trying to update the content of my member folder. On the old zope.org I had created a DTML Document named 'index_html'. This is still hanging around but I can't find a way to edit it through the new zope.org site. It doesn't appear in the folder contents. Will it have to be manually removed from the ZODB?

Extrange behavior with numeric datatypes and decimal places
by Luis Mariano Luporini 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Hi list. I'm having a problem using the following: - Gentoo Linux - Zope 2.6.1 - Python 2.1.3 - psycopg 1.1.2 - zpsycopgda 1.1.2 - Postgresql 7.3.3 The situation is I'm trying to get a number (result of a division) rounded to two decimal places and can't get it to work. After some research, my problem can be simplified to this: If I run the query: select 3::numeric(10,2) in psql I get a result of 3.00 (normal and expected behavior) in zope I get a result of 3.0 (why just one decimal place?) How can I get around this. Is this a bug in psycopg or something like that? Anybody experienced this? Thanks in advance.

Zope Help System > API > File, ObjectManager is all I needed. Also, I'm copying this to the list, so that others can see. It's probably best to send things to the list, too. I might have been on vacation or hit by a bus or something. --jcc fyi, the second example can probably be shortened to:: if obj = container.Files[file.filename]: obj.update_data(file) else: container.Files.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFile(id='', title='', file=file) -- "My point and period will be throughly wrought, Or well or ill, as this day's battle's fought."
