Local Zope roles with LDAPUserFolder
by Jim Hodapp 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

I have a question pertaining to the LDAPUserFolder and I found your email for a contact for the product. I am using it to authenticate users against my company's ActiveDirectory controller so users can login to my Plone site using their same Windows username and password pair. However, how do I assign roles to users once they are made aware to Zope through LDAPUserFolder? How do I assign, for instance, a role of Member and Admin to my own username? Are there any docs on LDAPUserFolder or any mailing lists? Thanks, Jim Hodapp NNC Group http://www.nncgroup.com

Zope 2.7 and zhttp_handler
by Ray Price 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

I'm starting to play with Zope 2.7 and I can't figure out how to publish my scripts as described in "How To Publish Your Own Python Modules" (http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/ZPublisher) by Amos. I used this technique for older versions of Zope. Is there a 'how to' for Zope 2.7 that covers publishing your own modules? Ray

Code highlighting in wiki (structured text)
by Daniël Hooymans 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Hi, Perhaps a bit off topic. I was wondering if it were possible to include code (python/delphi/etc) with syntax highlighting into a wiki (structured text) page ? If not, would it be possible to implement this ? And how can you do this ? Greets, Daniel

Date Time Week question
by Rex McKanry 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Hi, I have a question about Date Time Week. I'm very new to Zope and Python and am not sure I'm going to ask this correctly. My question is in two parts. 1) If I have a drop down list of week numbers (1-53) is there a way to populate a table Sunday through Saturday with the correct dates for the week that is selected? My other thought is: 2) If I can search through a calendar year and pick out all of the Sunday dates and then add to that date 1 day at a time to populate the same table? Here I'm thinking of searching for each sunday date and putting that in the drop down list insead of the week number above. Then adding to the selected date to fill in the table. Thanks for the help in advance. This is for my final project at school and I'm feeling the pressure this week even through I still have a couple of weeks.

Script to restart Zope?
by Jean Jordaan 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Hi all There used to be a script to restart a Zope instance when it ate up too much memory or CPU. It was called something "-lance", but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know of such a tool, or where it went? (A direct reply would be sweet ..) -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za

Last week I made a Boring product DTML free that uses another product that I made. The later can be easily used from other products. You can download them here: http://www.zope.org/Members/jmeile/JMBoring http://www.zope.org/Members/jmeile/JMZPTMacros Everything is documented in the source code and in the templates.

Mixing of ZPT and DTML
by Carsten Gehling 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Since I'm new to Zope, I've been able to jump at ZPT from the beginning without needing to "unlearn" DTML first... One thing nags me though: I use ZPT for my product classes web methods when while constructing an intranet. However it doesn't seem that I can use the same web methods inside ZMI, since ZMI still uses DTML and presents its tabs through the DTML variable "standard_header". What do people generally do when using ZPT? Do you create separate editforms/display files for both ZPT (for use in you own application) and DTML (for use in ZMI)? Or have I missed some vital point? - Carsten

Strange error using DTML with MySQL to build a Select List
by David Washburn 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

I have encountered strange behavior building a DTML data entry form. I built a form that includes a <SELECT> field and I populate the field like this: =========================== <tr><td> <select size="1" name="company_contact_id" > <option value=0 >Unknown </option> <dtml-in ListCompanyStaff> <dtml-if "account_id == selected_company_contact_id"> <option value=<dtml-var account_id> selected><dtml-var full_name></option> <dtml-else> <option value=<dtml-var account_id>><dtml-var full_name></option> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </select> </td></tr> =========================== Where "ListCompanyStaff" is a ZSQL Method that looks like this: =========================== select concat(ifnull(a.first_name,''),' ',a.last_name, ' (from: ' , a.country_code1,', acct id:',a.account_id,')' ) full_name, ifnull(a.account_id,0) account_id from account as a where user_type = 'STAFF' and account_status = 'ACTIVE' order by upper(a.last_name), upper(a.first_name), upper(a.middle_initial) =========================== And it generates a <SELECT> statement that looks like this (cut from the source code of the generated page). The logic works, and it successfully chooses the correct line to include a "selected" option when the value in the list matches the value in the database. =========================== <tr> <select size="1" name="company_contact_id" > <option value=0 >Unknown </option> <option value=22>Test Name22 (from: GB, acct id:22)</option> <option value=26>Test Name26 (from: VN, acct id:26)</option> <option value=10 selected>Test Name10 (from: ID, acct id:10)</option> <option value=5>Test Name5 (from: SG, acct id:5)</option> <option value=25>Test Name25 (from: VN, acct id:25)</option> <option value=9>Test Name9 (from: ID, acct id:9)</option> <option value=14>Test Name14 (from: PH, acct id:14)</option> <option value=15>Test Name15 (from: PH, acct id:15)</option> </select> </td> </tr> =========================== When I click on the SUBMIT button on the form (the form actually goes back to itself for data validation and either error messages or calls a ZSQL method to update the database) I get a MySQL processing exception. I get it immediately when the SUBMIT button is pressed. Here is the strange part -- if I cut the Select statement from the source code generated by DTML, and place it into the DTML document in place of the <DTML-IN> clause, the form works fine. So the question seems to be: Why does using DTML to generate the SELECT statement cause it to blow up when the SUBMIT button is pressed -- which is when if happens? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Using __setstate__?
by Terry Hancock 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Hi all, I need to check for upgrades and plugins from existing instances of a web application, but the process is going to be fairly intensive, and I don't want it to get called too often. Basically I need for it to be called any time the product is refreshed or Zope restarted. This means that it should get called on each instance whenever the source files are (re-)interpreted and imported. If I just put this into __setstate__, I'm afraid it will get called rather more frequently than that, but I'm not familiar enough with it to know how much of a problem that's likely to be. Obviously just using the __setstate__ hook would be the easiest solution. Is there a better hook to use? If not, I had considered giving my class a class property based on the date, and then checking that in __setstate__ to determine if any further work should be done: class MyClass(...): import_date = DateTime() def __init__(self, ...): self.current_import_date = self.import_date def __setstate__(self, state): if self.import_date != self.current_import_date: pass # Actually do my update work here self.current_import_date = self.import_date In the absence of a standard solution, this seems like the simplest approach. Is this the way to go, or am I overlooking some "batteries" somewhere? Obviously the idea is to allow my instances to take advantage of newly installed plugins after a simple restart or refresh instead of having to create new instances every time something is changed (which would get to be a royal PITA in production use).
