28 Feb '03

Another query for you all The project i am working on requires an editor (or an owner) to add new docuements to a particular section of the magazine - But before the docuement can be added, the content of the doc must be approved or rejected by the manager of the site which is me. The quesiton is how do i go about setting this up, If you need more specification on the project please ask. Thanks Liam _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus

RE: [Zope] Large data.fs
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 28 Feb '03

$INSTANCE_HOME/var/Data.fs is your Zope object database. Don't purge it, whatever you do! Pack the Database in Zope's Control_Panel/Database to get rid of stale revisions of transactions since past. This should be a regular occurance for you (i.e. have a rule for doing this, like: pack the database to remove previous revisions of objects over 3 days old). 200M is really not that large comparitively. If you pack it, though, you are quite likely to see a big improvement.

acquisition, traversal, acl_users and security
by Tim Hicks 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Hi all, I'm having a problem, but first let me explain generally what I'm trying to do. I'm want to provide alternative management screens to those found at /manage. The goal is also not to use any additional products that don't come with a vanilla zope install (actually, I've allowed myself the luxury of Formulator, but that doesn't matter for these purposes). So, I've added a folder called 'control' that contains all of my management screens. These work pretty nicely (even though I say so myself ;-) ). Now, users just need to append /control to their url and they get quite a user friendly editing experience. In the 'control' security tab, I've left everything on 'Acquire Permissions' except for 'View', which I've limited to 'Manager' only. This works well when the user logging in is defined in an acl_users that is a sibling of 'control', but does not work when the acl_users is defined further down the tree and 'control' is being acquired. e.g. - site_root_folder - acl_users - control - folder1 - acl_users /site_root_folder/control works; /site_root_folder/folder1/control raises Unauthorized when the user is defined in site_root_folder/folder1/acl_users instead of site_root_folder/acl_users. I did a little searching on this list, and I think found that this is an explicit feature of the zope security policy that is designed to stop people from circumventing security by using url traversal tricks - which I guess is effectively what I'm trying to do. So, my questions are: Is my diagnosis right? Is there any way around this problem without going to filesystem code? Does anybody have a suitable __of__ method (or somesuch) that would allow me to achieve what I want if I do have to use fs code? cheers, tim

getUser() does not return a user wrapped in the acquistion context of the user folder (which newSecurityManager() needs), so this code will likely need the first line changed to: user = app.acl_users.getUser('foo').__of__(app.acl_users) Sean -----Original Message----- From: Chris McDonough [mailto:chrism@zope.com] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 3:12 PM To: Paul Winkler Cc: zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Testing security in a debug session?

Re: [Zope] List subfolders within any folder
by Jaroslav Lukesh 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Hi, * How you do calling it? * It is DTML Method? If you will call it from root of your Zope web, it will show only and just root subfolders. If you want something like sitemap, look at zope howtos or products section, before few years here are published very good sitemap (maybe at times of Zope 1.x). I use it at 2.5.1 as curious management interface only for my purpose. JL. ---------- Odesílatel: Michael Fox <Michael(a)CenturySoftware.com.au> <dtml-in expr="objectValues('Folder')" sort="title" skip_unauthorized> <li><a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title_or_id></a></li> </dtml-in> Which when I "view" on it's own happily lists the folders within my root folder. Yet somehow when I reference this object with another DTML Document, it list nothing?!
