xmlrpc problems
by Matthias Hörtzsch 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

Hi all, while trying something with xmlrpc and Amos examples (http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/XML-RPC) I got while using the objectIds - method an error: objectIds has an empty or missing docstring. Objects must have a docstring to be published If I use for example getId all works fine. looking into the sources told me that objectIds comment (and also from many other methods) looks like: # Returns a list of subobject ids of the current object. # If 'spec' is specified, returns objects whose meta_type # matches 'spec'. So if I change it to: """Returns a list of subobject ids of the current object. If 'spec' is specified, returns objects whose meta_type matches 'spec'.""" it works now and I get the results of the xmlrpc call. So is this maybe a 'comment' bug and a case for the collector or should these methods no more used via xmlrpc? Greetings Matthias __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo! Mail - http://mail.yahoo.de Bis zu 100 MB Speicher bei http://premiummail.yahoo.de

Getting current object in an expression while in a dtml-in loop
by HP Knoll 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

Hi, In my search results page I would like to display only those results where the user has the permission to view those files. My question is: how do I refer to the current object in a <dtml-in> loop? I know that I could use <dtml-in Catalog skip_unauthorized> but it still displays all results, even those where the user has absolutely no right. Here is the example: <dtml-in Catalog> <dtml-if expr="_.SecurityGetUser().has_permission('View', OBJECT?????)"> ... </dtml-if> </dtml-in> Can anyone help? Thanks Hans

File Upload problems
by Mark Evans 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

Hi all, I am trying to upload an image file from a form to an External Method so that it can be loaded as a blob into an Oracle database. I am having difficulty getting the file uploaded. Here is the form: <form action="execute_loadblob" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <p>Locate file to upload:</p> <input type="file" name="image" size="16"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Entry"> </form> ======================================================================= The external method is called from a DTML method called "execute_loadblob" which contains the call: <dtml-var expr="writeBlob(image)"> The external method is: import sys,os,string,DCOracle2 as dco def main(image): ... do something here with image, doesn't matter what ... return "Something was done" ============================================================= The gist of the error received, is that image is a " ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 1046b04" instead of being something I can acutally manipulate. Why is this and how do I access either the file or the URL pointing to the file? TIA, Mark Evans

Create User in DTML question
by Marc Stein 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

I have a rather involved registration process in which users enter information via multiple forms. This information is then stored in a user table in MySQL. Upon completion of the registration process (and at subsequent logins) the user should be able to access a registered user area. It would seem to me that my options are to create the user in MySQL and then additionally create that user in acl_users or to authenticate the user in MySQL and not use the user folder at all. It seems fairly easy to create the user within the user folder with the manage_users method except that I have only gotten this to work if I set the Manage Users permission to Anonymous for the registered user's directory. This doesn't seem well-advised. Is there a way to execute the manage_users method as a Manager from within a DTML method? If I authenticate the user using the MySQL user table can I then set that user as Authenticated within the SESSION object so that they don't have to re-authenticate within that session? Towards this end, when a user comes back and enters the registered user's area they will be prompted for their username and password. How can I access the username that they entered? Is it within the REQUEST.SESSION object? Is their a way to override the username/password dialog so that it asks for "email address" and "password" instead of "name" and "password". Many thanks in advance for any suggestions that anyone can provide. This is my first project in Zope and I'm rather fumbling along. Marc Stein

Spinning Zope on MP3 file import
by hpinson＠indepthl.com 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

When I import an .mp3 file into Zope using the "File" object, zope just spins. The behavior is the same in both IE 6 and Mozilla 1.1. Zope: 2.6 OS: W2K Server Any ideas why an mp3 file would not import? I've seen similar behavior sporadically when importing image files. Thanks.

Image management in Zope
by Jens JB. Bjerre 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

Hi I would like to make a site, where the user can upload an image in any size. The site then have to convert the image to jpg or another optimized format. After that I would like to be able to display the picture in a form of shop-system, in different sizes. I have been looking at the Photo product, and it seems like it is close. I just can't see how I convert the image upon upload. Does anyone have some ideas regarding this. I don't mind if the solution is a commercial product to extend zope. Thank's in advance Jens Bjerre

Hi Dieter, thanks for your advise. One question about the "-M" logging. I adjusted the zope source to have rotating Z2.log files (tip at: http://www.zope.org/Members/tim/logmanagement) Do you know whether the "-M" logfile rotate as well with this adjustment?

An ssh tunnel makes sense, as long as your FTP client is set to passive transfers mode for talking to Zope through it. -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Kaiser [mailto:kaiser@xo7.de] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 11:29 AM To: rhires(a)earthlink.net; zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] secure ftp --On Dienstag, 11.
