RE: [Zope] [possibly OT] html2pdf on zope
by Bob Corriher 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

I use html2pdf for several projects. I think I had a similar problem when using html2pdf on a Windows 2000 server. The solution was that the call to popen2 in windows requires a mode parameter to indicate that popen2 returns a binary stream. It looks like this in my external method: stin,stout = os.popen2('htmldoc --footer " : " --webpage -t pdf --quiet --jpeg -','b') Otherwise it is the same as the how-to. If you're on Linux or Unix, this probably isn't the answer. Bob Corriher P-Wave Inc.

pulling from another website
by martin f krafft 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

is there an easy way within Zope to pull data straight from a given URL and serve is in the context of the DTML document or ZPT file? so when a user browses a particular page on my site, Zope plays reverse proxy to obtain the information from another site, then displays it as if it were local. sounds like plagiarism but it won't be. it's related to my question of how to let users publish frequently changing files. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck keyserver problems? http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/keyserver.html get my key here: http://people.debian.org/~madduck/gpg/330c4a75.asc this site has moved. we'd tell you where, but then we'd have to delete you.

Re: [Zope] localfs, how to secure for homedirs...

: Odesílatel: Jim Penny <jpenny(a)universal-fasteners.com> : Localfs objects have to be readable (at least) by the userid that zope : is running as. Zope should not be run as root, for a variety of good : reasons. Presumably your users own their own files, and in a modern : system, are proably in individual groups. Another solution - what about samba server at local machine and smbfs mounted to the same machine? localfs_user1 --> smbfs_mountedfolder_user1 --> /home/user1 localfs_user2 --> smbfs_mountedfolder_user2 --> /home/user2 etc... Mounting like (single line): mount -t smbfs -o uid=xxx,gid=xxx,username=user1,password=ffffff //localhost/mountpointuser1 /zope_localfs/user1 You only need to hide this file from reading at all, allow executing only. Rights like --x--x--x root root I was used years ago this similar solution for multiple thin dosemu clients. JL.

RE: [Zope] Localfs not a folder

True, but why doesn't it work for you? It acts much the same as a folder ... one major difference being that you can't give properties to the contained items. > I > am trying to avoid having user take up space in the data.fs file with them > uploading images.

Zope install process on Sun box with Solaris installed
by John Lesch 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

I installed Zope 2.5 on a Sun Sparc 10 with dual processors, Solaris 8 installed and it was dog slow. I have 2 questions: 1. What is the minimum size Sun box Zope will perform adequately on? 2. Are the directions to install Zope on a Sun box with solaris installed correct or is there a different install process that needs to be followed?

Mailhost problem
by AM 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

I have been using the mailhost send API call to send email. I found that you cant use the character ':' (colon) in the body of the message or else the behaviour is wierd. ie email that it sends out has nothing in the subject and other fields and they are inserted in the body of the message. For eg: context.mailhost.send(messageText='test : doda\n', mto=<email>, mfrom='email', subject='test') sends in a email like this: test : doda To: aseem(a)neurobs.com From: webmaster(a)neurobs.com Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2003 15:09:59 -0800 Anybody else see this behavior?? Are there any other characters that can cause this knid of behavior and need to be filtered out??
