eldav (webdav in emacs) loads just already proceeded html files
by stave＠brailcom.org 14 Mar '03

Hello, I use this to load index_html: Ctrl-X Ctrl-F: Find-file: :http:/localhost:9673/index_html It will load proceeded html output (without tal, args, ...). I do know how to load source, not zope output. I already tried to find out more info about it, without success :-) Either it is very small mistake, or new technology yet. I have got tramp installed in emacs too. Thanks, -- Jan Stavěl

Performance of dtml-tree in ZMI
by Pascal Samuzeau 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

Hi, Zope2.6.0 under Win XP Since some days, the performance of the result of the dtml-tree of the left window of the ZMI is going lower to lower. Now, when I just recognize me from manage, I have to wait 1 minute to get the tree management. Any idea about this slow performance?

(no subject)
by Michael Havard 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

having a problem getting the absolute_url or portal_url within a CMF site. We have a framed site that puts a ZOPE CMF site in one frame when needed. When the frame is first loaded all the links point to "mysite:8200" instead of where the ZOPE instance is being run "mysite:8300". If I right click on the zope frame and reload I get the correct links but loading it from another frame breaks the link reference. Is there another way to get the url? _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

LDAPUserFolder and Micro$oft AD (ugh!)
by larry_prikockis＠natureserve.org 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

Greetings fellow Zope-addicts :-) First-- no need to remind me that LDAPUserFolder isn't in any way designed specifically to interoperate properly with Active Directory... I'm stuck with AD for the moment. I'm running Zope 2.6.1 on Linux (RH 7.1). I have the latest version of LDAPUserFolder, python-ldap, open-ldap, etc. installed. For the most part, everything works as advertised. However- there's a weird glitch that crops up, apparently in the process of searching through certain portions of my Active Directory structure (over which I have no direct control- despite my fervent desire to reorganize it more sensibly) Basically, the structure looks like this: Dc=mydir,dc=org ou=division1 ou=division2 ou=division3 cn=Configuration (lots of other junk under here ?!!) User entries can be located under any of the various division ou's, so I need to use a base DN: dc=mydir,dc=org and "subtree" for the scope setting. What I get, when searching for a user entry is the following: Error: {'desc': "Can't contact LDAP server", 'info': 'Referral:\nldap://mydir.org/CN=Configuration,DC=mydir,DC=org'} If I specify a user base DN of, e.g., ou=division1,dc=mydir,dc=org, then all is well (though of course, I'm not really searching the full scope of records I want to search). Any ideas on how to tell where this error might be occurring (it strikes me that it's probably related to something in python-ldap or open-ldap, rather than the LDAPUser folder, but I don't know.) Or is there some way I can tell modify the code to ignore the CN=configuration portion of the directory tree? (since that seems to be the root of the problem for whatever reason and it's not something I need to look at for user authentication anyway). Sorry for the long-winded message, but this has been driving me batty and I'm hoping it'll ring a bell with someone out there. Thanks much... Larry Prikockis

TransientObjectContainer.keys()
by Shannon -jj Behrens 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

Hi, I'm using Zope as an application server for some weird, non-Web-related stuff. TransientObjectContainer really matches my needs for a particular problem (the dict-like interface and the auto-delete feature are quite useful), but TransientObjectContainer has no keys() method. I can see why this is the case considering sessions, but it's something that I absolutely need for my application. I assume my options are: o Hack Zope and submit a patch. o Hack Zope and don't submit a patch, because it won't be accepted. o Figure out some (really inconvenient) way to store a list of keys in the TransientObjectContainer. o Don't use TransientObjectContainer, just use normal Zope objects. Use a cron job to implement auto-delete. I welcome your advice. Best Regards, -jj -- Hacker is to software engineer as Climbing Mt. Everest is to building a Denny's there.

Re: [Zope] anyone? Help getting the correct URL from absolute_url or portal_url
by Michael Havard 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

I found no reference to base href in the document. I don't set it and I don't see that ZOPE/CMF sets it either. here's the ZPT code that's generating the urls for the items <ul> <li tal:repeat="item items"> <a href="item_url" tal:attributes="href item/absolute_url"><img align="middle" border="0" tal:attributes="src string:${item/portal_url}/${item/getIcon}; alt string:${item/Type}; title string:${item/Type}"></a> <a href="item_url" tal:attributes="href item/absolute_url; title item/Description" tal:content="item/Title"> Title </a> </li> </ul> both absolute_url and portal_url when called within the frameset appear to get a reference to the parent frameset's host instead of the document's host.

Right, but at least, it would help to have an article that would explain to eg. PHP or Perl users what the point is using a framework, and especially something Zope. Personnaly, just showing me that I won't have to stick an index.html (index.php) in each and every directory would probably be enough to convince me :-) >Many add-ons have their own lists.

Re: Cookie Dictionary

Hi Rick, > Can you store a dictionary in a cookie? I've been trying and it keeps > barfing on me.

Dost it think it's a list? Do you need a dictionary, or can a list be useful too? On this case, you could send a coma delimited string and then use the split method to convert it to a list. You could also use more delimiters for example: a1,b1;a2,b2;...;an,bn and then split the string by the semi-colons. Then go through each element and split by the commas; However, this solution is not efficient nor elegant, but it could be an alternative. Again, as Geir said, you are limmited to 255 characters (not sure about this number) when working with cookies. You can also get rid of it by using this piece of code: http://www.zope.org/Members/gaaros/localcookies Regards, Josef
