LocalFS and catalogs
by Isokangas, Erik HTC/DE/FRA 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

Hi, I'm struggling a bit with the product LocalFS and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. LocalFS installs and seems to work fine out-of-the-box. However, I would like to catalog each file (and contents of each file) in the file system being served. The properties of my LocalFS object has a "catalog" option which claims to catalog files in the filesystem. However, this doesn't seem to do anything. I'm using Zope 2.6.0 on Suse8.0 Linux. I have a Zcatalog object installed with only two indices (fulltext, keywords) - no metadata fields currently defined. What is the process that LocalFS uses to catalog files in the filesystem? How does LocalFS know which catalog, indices, metadata to use, etc.? Thanks for your replies, Erik Isokangas

Making a Z Class and a Z Catalog get along - PropertyManager?
by Edward Pollard 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

I've managed to succesfully create my Z Class product so that it enters itself into the Z Catalog on creation. Hooray for me. Now, the goal of this task I'm undertaking is to allow web pages to have specific properties associated with them, and these properties are automagically searchable. That is why I made the Z Class which is based in PageTemplate, as it needs to behave pretty much like a page template, but have two properties that are searchable. Now, I've seen it mentioned in passing that the PropertyManager is not catalog aware, and as such I'm not so surprised to learn that the objects I create do not have their changes to their properies reflected in the Catalog. Where I saw this mentioned was a post to the effect of "Make sure you make PropertyManager catalog aware!" How do I make PropertyManager catalog aware, and only aware for this specific ZClass? As a more general question: Can anyone direct me to some Zope resources suitable for intermediate questions such as this? I have the Zope Book in front of me, but that only covers the basics, and I can't find much in the way of usefull information on Zope.org. (Or is that just me?) Anything else out there so I don't have to wander around asking silly questions? Ed

Catalog question
by Kevin Carlson 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

Is it possible using an expression to disallow an object being added to a catalog based on a certain string being contained in its path? For example, I want to include all objects in a subfolder except if the path includes the name 'sample' in the path. I think this may be possible utilizing the "expr" field on the Find Objects tab of a ZCatalog, but I'm not certain how to write the expression. Can anyone offer some advice? Thanks, Kevin

index_object() in CatalogPathAwareness
by Thomas Guettler 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

Hi! I think a CatalogPathAware object should raise an exception if there is no "default_catalog". I think it is not good that it does silently nothing: CatalogPathAwareness.py: def index_object(self): """A common method to allow Findables to index themselves.""" if hasattr(self, self.default_catalog): getattr(self, self.default_catalog).catalog_object(self, self.getPath()) What do you think? thomas -- Thomas Guettler <guettli(a)thomas-guettler.de> http://www.thomas-guettler.de

Yes, WebDAV and External Editor...
by Bo M. Maryniuck 03 Dec '02

Hello. If you use External Editor, you might be surprised: * Open an object, e.g. Python script * Leave and go coffee * After ~20-30 min back your object: a) Not locked anymore b) External Editor can still save!!.. * ...but you realize, that Session Timeout is turned _OFF_. What the problems is here? -- Regards, Bogdan Unix is an operating system, OS/2 is half an operating system, Windows is a shell, and DOS is a boot partition virus. -- Peter H. Coffin

WebDav lock, unlock query.
by Paul Naveen Raj Jeyaraj 03 Dec '02

Hi, We are using web folders for uploading contents into zope. As many users will be editing contents, we need to implement a locking mechanism(permissions to users to lock an item before doing any changes) . Any pointers would be helpful. Thank you. Regards, Paul.

RE: Permissions, ZPT and absolute_url
by Jay, Dylan 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

A bit more exploring reveals that I can call absolute_url on Folder object or aquition path of Folder objects regardless of the fact that they all fail to aquire a view permission. However if I try to do the same on another ZPT or PythonScript etc, then I get the follwing error " Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access doRegistration in this context " It seems that the security framework barfs to a traversal of anything else other than folders??? > -----Original Message----- > From: Jay, Dylan > Sent: Tuesday, 3 December 2002 2:59 PM > To: 'zope(a)zope.org' > Subject: Permissions, ZPT and absolute_url > > > I'm having a bit of trouble with security and ZPT.
