Problems with Zope

Hello!! I've any problems with Zope Products. 1. Does any Zope product that allows to perform forums?. 2. Is that product able to (or allowed to): - Create Forums groups, defined groups in which a moderator and users are present, who are constantly joining the forum through an application form? - Is it possible to automaticly create the access a forum after a user signing in the web site?. 3. I installed the LoginManager in the folder that contains all the Zope Website files. When I run the scripts ./start and I use the Zope Management Interface, the LoginManager shows Broken product advice and then the traceback informs there is a line 541 error from the "Application.py" file. Where does this problem belong to?. Can this version be incompatible with the Zope version that I own? Thanks for any help!! _________________________________________________________________ Charla con tus amigos en línea mediante MSN Messenger: http://messenger.yupimsn.com/

Is this possible to daemonize a process launched from Zope ?
by Jerome Alet 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hi, I'd want to know : has someone ever tried to launch a process from Zope and daemonize it so that it runs by itself and doesn't hang one zope thread ? I'm thinking about the fork+exec with controlling terminal and process group detachment, available under *nix systems. Is such a thing possible ? Are there any drawbacks ? (beside not being portable to Win) I know I could try and see by myself, but if someone has already done it or says its impossible, then I'd better know now. Thanks in advance Jerome Alet

XML-RPC and region-specific characters
by Ben Avery 28 May '03

28 May '03

I'm stuck on a problem with our production site (in the UK) We have a client application sending data to a Zope server by XML-RPC. Our users have been trying to send text descriptions including the British Pound symbol £. But this not being sent or received correctly. Has anyone found this problem with £, or any other region-specific characters. I have read that it's possible to use XML-RPC with unicode, but have been unable to find exactly how to do this with Zope. Can anyone offer any help?

add product question
by dean hale 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hi Can anyone offer any advice please as i cannot figure it out at all. Currently we have a form which allows the user to upload images creates a DTMLDocument called PageText and it also creates a folder to store them in, all in one go. I have created a simple product and zclass based on DTMLDocument called OnlineEdit which does a little extra so would rather use this than the DTMLDocument we currently use, however i cannot figure out what to use to add it, below may make more sense than above currently we use below newfolder.manage_addDTMLDocument('PageText','PageText',data) and i have been trying to call the zclass i did newfolder.manage_addOnlineEdit('PageText','PageText',data) however receive the error ErrorType: AttributeError ErrorValue: online Editor sorry for the thickness and i hope it makes sense. here is the full script if it's of any use ------------- import string,re,os def clonetemplate(self,REQUEST): file = REQUEST['file'] id = string.lower(REQUEST['title']) newid = string.replace(id,' ','_') ob = self.web_template newfolder = self.manage_clone(ob,newid) setprops(newfolder,REQUEST) data = gethtml(file) newfolder.manage_addDTMLDocument('PageText','PageText',data) if REQUEST['img1'].filename <> '': addimages(newfolder,REQUEST) if REQUEST is not None: try: parent = self.DestinationURL() except: parent=REQUEST['URL1'] REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(parent+'/manage_main?update_menu=1') return '' def gethtml(file): htmldata = file.read() htmldata = re.sub('.*<body(.*?)>(?i)(?s)', '', htmldata) htmldata = re.sub('</body(.*?)>.*(?i)(?s)', '', htmldata) thanks dean -- Dean Hale Information Services Web Development Manager 0191 515 2424

ZPT equivalent to the global HTML() ?
by Jean-Francois.Doyon＠CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hello, I have a few products that use DTML rendering by simply using the HTML function imported from Globals ... This works great, and is trivial and simple to use. Now, I'm thinking of switching to using ZPT's, but am having a harder time figuring out exactly what function/method I should use ... there's pt_render, but that's a method that expects an object of the proper class to be passed (I think?) ... Which doesn't really work in my case ... I'd like to be able to simply feed the "text" to a function, along with a context, REQUEST object, or something like that, and get the results. Here's what I had up until now, that I'd like to switch from DTML to ZPT: # Monkey patch to add DTML rendering and Properties to the CMF Document type (Effectively making it a CMF DTML Document) originalCookedBody = Document.CookedBody originalManageOptions = Document.manage_options def CookedBody(self, stx_level=None, setlevel=0): # First, run the original cookedbody = originalCookedBody(self, stx_level=None, setlevel=0) # Then, if the document is HTML, run it through the DTML rendering engine if ( self.text_format == 'html' ): cookedbody = apply(HTML(self.text), (self, self.REQUEST)) return cookedbody Document.CookedBody = CookedBody Document.manage_options = ( originalManageOptions + PropertyManager.manage_options ) This is really simple, and works great for my needs. I'd like to be able to do something similar, but with ZPT. Anyone know of a ZPT equivalent to HTML() ? Or any other similarly simple way of doing it ? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

POSKeyError
by Jeremy M. Smith 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hello-- A couple of weeks ago, an IDE error caused some minor damage to my Data.fs file. Unfortunately, there had been some significant changes to that file since the previous weekly backup, so I did not want to restore from backup. I used the fsrecover.py utility to recover the damaged Data.fs with great results. A few folders inside Data.fs did have problems, but all of them were corrected by exporting and importing the damaged folder and just re-importing it . . . except for one. With this one folder, I get a POSKeyError. After researching this problem online, I used the fsrefs.py utility to determine which object it is that's not being found, but I can't figure out how to either a) get that object back (since I can't access the management screens due to the error) or b) remove the invalid references. I have seen some references to truncating (a copy of) the Data.fs just before the transaction that causes the error, but I haven't found any instructions on how to do this. So, is there any good way to fix this by either replacing the object or deleting the invalid transaction? Thanks, Jeremy. -- Jeremy M.

Using urllib2 to access Zope URLs
by Damon Butler 28 May '03

28 May '03

I'd like to write a script that I can run from the command line -- NOT a Python script object in Zope or even an external method -- that I can run to upload files into Zope. Here's some code that I'm using right now that, according to the documentation and examples I've seen for the urllib2 library, OUGHT to work: -------------------- import urllib2 pwdmgr = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm() pwdmgr.add_password(None, 'http://localhost:8080/", 'myusername', 'mypassword') auth = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(pwdmgr) opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth) urllib2.install_opener(opener) req = urllib2.Request('http://localhost:8080/manage_main') f = urllib2.urlopen(req) print f.read() f.close() -------------------- The line with the urlopen command always raises an error, however: urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized The same script has no trouble obtaining the results of queries to unprotected sites, but seems completely incapable of getting past the Zope authorization. FYI: Tests with the wget utility show that it is possible to get past the authorization, so the problem lies somewhere with this script. What is it that I'm missing? --Damon

Re: RE: [Zope] Another import doesn't find the module

Totally baffling me. There is no syntax error in profile.py as I am using it from other methods and the object is added without trouble or error. To maybe clarify a few things, this is the basics of what I am attempting to accomplish. I have an object (distinfo) that is created inside of another record. This operation works fine. Now, when a special condition exists, the user may create an object also to be named distinfo, yet this one will have one more feature. I DO NOT want to do a monkey patch here. I want the user to specifically choose when the alternate object is to be added. Distinfo #1 is in the FGDC directory. Distinfo #2 will live in the extensions directory. I want to set of a script in the scripts directory that will cause the #2 to be added. By the way, both of these objects(#1 and #2) should have the same metatype. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Passin, Tom" <tpassin(a)mitretek.org> Date: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 1:30 pm Subject: RE: [Zope] Another import doesn't find the module > [Stacy Roberts Ladnier] > > > My Structure has the following > > -FGDC (directory) > > - __init__.py > > - profile.py > > - DISTRIB.py > > > > The line I had that read > > from Products.Resources.FGDC import profile > > failed as you said it should. > > > > However, this line works like a charm: > > from Products.Resources.FGDC import DISTRIB > > > > BTW, I always interpreted this to mean > > from <directory> import <module> > > > > Can you explain the *why's* on this one?? > > An import that fails when the import statement looks perfectly > fine is > often an indication that there is an error in the module to be > imported.It could be a simple indentation error, or something more > serious.

Hello, zope users. Can you tell me what i need to do if i want for example to store on filesystem 'File' content type from Plone? (i tried but it works for me only with Zope 'File'). Should i write mapper for that type on my own? (And if so, where to start?) Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, Ruslan
