How to change default method for calling object from the web?
by Lubos Culen 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hello! I have a problem: Let's assume I have object 'obj' and its method 'view' . So, calling the object 'obj' from web URL (e.g. 'www.mysite.com/path/obj' ) will display content of 'obj'. Calling 'www.mysite.com/path/obj/view' will call method 'view' of the object 'obj'. Now I want that the method 'view' should be DEFAULT method for the object 'obj', so calling 'www.mysite.com/path/obj' should automatically call the method 'view' of object 'obj'. Is it possible to do in Zope and how? -- Regards, Mirsoft

Adding content to document types
by Samir Mishra 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hello all, I'm adding documents & scripts to a folder using - context.manage_addDTMLMethod("index_html", "Index") #document name & title etc. These documents are created with default body content. My question is - how do I access/add to/replace the content that is inserted into the documents by default? For example, I'd like to insert dynamically generated code into Python scripts, or into the DTML document using properties defined within the folder. TIA. Samir.

Acquisition of the View permission
by Caleb Land 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hello, I am having trouble with folders and the view permission. Say I have a layout like: Users + |--index_html |--caleb + | |--Folder 1 | |--brian + |--Folder 2 Now, let's say that user 'caleb' owns the caleb folder, and user 'brian' owns the brian folder. If I set Folder 1 to be View'ed by owner/manager and without acquisition, shouldn't someone logged in as 'brian' be forbidden to see: /Users/caleb/Folder 1/ even if index_html is able to be View'ed by Anonymous? (because of the context it's being called from) Sincerely, Caleb Land (bokonon(a)rochester.rr.com)

custom authentication
by Andrew Altepeter 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hi all! I am working on integrating zope into the single sign-on auth. server we have. To do so, I started with the cookie_validate method in exUserFolder, modified it to suit, and placed it in my custom userFolder class. Ok, so it is working great if you to a page that requires authentication. However, I have noticed a few quiry happenings here, and maybe you guys can help me out. Sometimes, if I authenticate through the sso, and try access an object my user object doesn't have access do, I am sent a 401 Unauthorized with a Basic login window. This is not what I want! If the user is logged in, but doesn't have access, I want to return a 'no access' page, and if the user is not logged not, then I want to redirect to the sso. How can I do this? Do I need to 'hack' the HTTPResponse code (methods unauthorized, _unauthorized, and possibly exception to do this)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Andy

Customize the ZMI
by Michael Havard 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

What files can be edited to change the ZMI. Does this have to be done from the file system or can it be done from within the ZMI itself. I want to be able to change some of the styling, logo, label placement, etc. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Re: [Zope] NuxUserGroups and CMF not working

There's nothing at all in my logs about CMF, but here's what the log has to say abut NuxUserGroups: ------ 2003-03-04T19:52:42 INFO(0) NuxUserGroups.BasicUserWithGroups Patching BasicUser ------ 2003-03-04T19:52:42 INFO(0) NuxUserGroups.LocalRolesWithGroups Patching RoleManager ------ 2003-03-04T19:52:42 ERROR(200) Zope Could not import Products.NuxUserGroups Traceback (innermost last): File /zopedirectory/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 531, in import_product File /zopedirectory/lib/python/Products/NuxUserGroups/__init__.py, line 11, in ?

After installation, CMFCore, CMFDefault, and CMFTopic appear in my products list unbroken, but I can't create a CMF Site object (it should be in the pulldown menu, right?).

DCOracle2 and processes
by Scott Pierce 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

This might be a database connection/zope thing or specifically a DCOracle2 thing but here goes. When creating a product I generally create a 'SQL' directory and programatically within the product initialization add zsqlmethods to the directory. Then within the product I will reference the SQL directory with a getattr. Early on I was doing this where ever necessary vs. putting it in the __init__ and referencing it from the class. Doing the former causes an Oracle connection for each time it is referenced. So if I have a method within a class called by a DMTL page that does something like: sqlF = getattr(self, 'SQL') then sqlf.runazsqlmethod() A process is created with an Oracle connection each time the page is hit. I have moved these into the __init__ like so: self.sqlF = getattr(self, 'SQL') then: self.sqlF.runazsqlmethod() w/out this problem and that makes sense. However, I would still like to get some idea why the connections get created just referencing it the way I previously had it. Any insights? -- Scott Pierce <scott.pierce(a)sonopress.com> Sonopress LLC

RE: [Zope] Help Needed - Case for Zope
by Samir Mishra 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

I saw these earlier. These seem to be the only numbers, or 'real' numbers available. But they're OLD! ZServer has improved between Zope 2.1 (which is when I last used it) and now. I think showing Zope to be faster than Tomcat, as the numbers indicate, will be difficult to support, especially since I don't believe it myself. Thanks all the same.

Re: [Zope] Where does Zope store files...

Yes, exactly. Good idea to back it up every so often - you don't have to shut down zope to do so, just do something like cp Data.fs /somewhere/Data.fs.backup.some_date -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

Re: [Zope] zope crashes on first hit
by Bill Seitz 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Well, there's certainly space for them. How can I test whether the process can create/write them, without being able to do any through-the-web management? I just hit/crashed the zope process. Now here's the list of files modified in the last 14 days: data.fs Mar3 13MB Z2.pid Mar4 1k data.fs.tmp Mar5 0k data.fs.lock Mar5 1k Strangely, z2.log (480kb) says last mod Jan7. But if I look at its contents in a text editor, I see at the end: * hits from Feb5 * then 292 NULL bytes * then 40 lines of DTML (starts and stops in the middle of lines, not clean) from a page that I was working which was broken and never got around to fixing Should I delete any of these files and start again? --- Steve McMahon <steve(a)reidmcmahon.com> wrote: > Check your log files.
