RE: [Zope] Html2pdf problems

I've been trying to get PDFs generated "on-the-fly" recently, and tried html2pdf. When appending /html2pdf to the end of the url, I got a completely blank page (using Win 2k). Apparently, the free Windows binary version does not have the full functionality with it (and that is one of the bits - or the only bit - thats missing!), if the binary version is the one you're using. I'm only a newbie, so don't take my word for it!! If anyone else knows I'm wrong, please put me right, as I'd be interested to know, too.

I used the directions in the 'how-to' but get an error when I try and generate the PDF. Something along the lines of "Internet Explorer cannot open the site html2pdf" :(. I've tried it a number of different ways, including having the full path to ghtmldoc in the Python External Method. TIA.

popular distributions
by jwsacksteder＠ramprecision.com 10 Mar '03

10 Mar '03

Without starting any arguments, I would like to find out what sort of distributions are popular for deploying zope servers. I would like to use a common distribution like Redhat, but getting binary packages for common DA's is painfully obtuse. I have used the windows packages with the binary ODBC DA an the install went great, the downside is, well, windows. I won't deploy a production server with compilers on it. Some thing like Gentoo with it's build-from-source design and ability to do package management would be great, But zope isn't well supported- I would still have to assemble packages myself or build various binary parts by hand. What is the most common deployment in zope production systems?

Equivalent of dtml-with in script or ZPT?
by Steve McMahon 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Is there a way to achieve in a Python script an effect equivalent to <dtml-with an_object> operations in context of an_object </dtml-with> ? I know it's possible to call the object's methods, but if I need to pass the methods a context (for example to render a DTML method), I get the context of the object calling the script, not the context of an_object. And, for that matter, is there a way to achieve the same effect in a TALES expression? Thanks for all feedback! -- ______________________________________________________ Steve McMahon Reid-McMahon, LLC

how to create a new HTTPRequest record
by Rocky Burt 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

I have a form that has var names something like this... properties.a:record properties.b:record and submit's to a python script named 'myaction'. Course this creates a record object for me in the python script that my form submits against. But, is there anyway for one python script to programatically create a record with the same attributes and invoke myaction with that record object? (this is all TTW of course) - Rocky

Basic Authentication Realm
by Kevin Gill 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Browser Friendly Message via Basic Authentication (Zope/exUserFolder) I want to set a realm for a part of a site. Basically, I have two directories, one for category A users and one for category B users. I want the accesses to each to be identified as a different realm, so that Basic authentication can be used to login to both areas with different credentials, and also so that the message displayed in the browser is meaningful. I have found that I can set the realm for a Zope instances via Z_REALM or __bobo_realm__. However, I do not seem to be able to set it for a directory or hierarchy. It appears that I can set the variable response.realm, if I have some python which is called. I am using exUserFolder, so my code is never called if the security check fails, which prevents me from setting the variable. My web-site is hosted (by amaze.nl), so I would rather not have to change exUserFolder sources. I would appreciate any solutions or advice from anyone on the list. Kevin Gill MovieExtras.ie

Is It Possible to Set a Folder's Properties Using DTML?
by Jonathan Mark 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

I would like to be able to modify the value of a folder's property any time I access a dtml-method over the web. However, I do not see any dtml tag which will set a folder's property. <dtml-let> inserts a new variable into the namespace but does not set a property. Is there any way to do so? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/

Re: Easy One

I just built a python script called url_quote (in my 'code' folder) and called it like so from dtml: <dtml-var "webClient('http://192.168.0.1/getSqlResults?query=' + code.url_quote(querystring))"> The script: (with Parameter List having the parameter 'astring') # Import a standard function from Products.PythonScripts.standard import url_quote_plus # Return a string suitable for URL's. return "%s" % url_quote_plus(astring) Ok .. this should be really easy but it's driving me nuts. How to I set an attribute on a variable when it's being rendered inside of a function? Here's what I mean: <dtml-var "webClient('http://192.168.0.1/getSqlResults?query=' + querystring)"> I need to have the variable querystring render with url_quote_plus, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to set it. TIA Rick

Single authentication for several servers
by Thierry FLORAC 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Hi, I'd like to setup this environment : - I have a first site, handled by Zope, behind an Apache server and rewrite rules. Authentication on this server is done throught an LDAP server with LDAPUserFolder. - I have a second site on a different server, handled by Apache+PHP. Authentication on this server is done throught the same LDAP server, so with the same login/password, throught mod_ldap. My problem is that when I switch from the first server to the second, I'd like to avoid a second authentication. So my idea was to access to server2 throught "http://www.site1.com/site2", with Apache handling a new rewrite rule in proxy mode. Do you think that it should work (I can't test easilly before asking you !!) ?? Of course : - I don't have any SSO solution ; - I can't rebuild my PHP application with Zope before several months :-(( (but I can update scripts to take the new access path into account). Thanks for any help or advise. Thierry -- Linux every day, keeps Dr Watson away... http://gpc.sourceforge.net -- http://www.ulthar.net

>Now that I've gone one record as saying you should roll your own, I >happened to notice that there *is* a Zope package for Gentoo: Yes, but up until aproximately yesterday if you needed to use any c-based products- DA's for example, you were on your own. Python-only products just need to be untarred to work, products that need compilation are a real pain. If I was commited to using Redhat for some reason, I would be required to modify spec files and build my own rpms for compiled DA's. I would actually rather use Gentoo, but for other distributions it's still harder than it needs to be and may prevent people from using Zope.
