How to log out?
by Skip Montanaro 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

If I visit a non-manage URL which requires authentication, my web browser pops up a dialog box prompting me for a username and password. Once logged in, is it possible to present a "logout" link for the user? I see a manage_zmi_logout link in the top ZMI frame. I presume I can create something similar, yes? -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com http://www.mojam.com/ http://www.musi-cal.com/

I created a folder 'F1' inside 'Root Folder'. Inside it I created 'acl_users' and in which I created a user 'sam' as 'Owner' role. I have added some documents in the 'F1' folder. Now how I can login in a separate browser to login with the userid 'sam'? -- Thanks

site access and authentication
by Ulrich Wisser 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Hello, I need to verify and set some REQUEST variables for each and every request to my application. I thought that SiteAccess maybe does the job. It works as I expected, only now I want to check some user rights and all I ever get is the user "Anonymous User" which is not what I expected. (The application shows the real name.) E.g. SiteAccessRule <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sa_user', _.SecurityGetUser().getUseName())"> and my index_html <dtml-var sa_user><br><dtml-var "_.SecurityGetUser().getUseName()"> output will be Anonymous User fakeid If I can't access the real user in a SiteAccess rule. How can evaluate a DTML Method every time a request is made to my app? Thanks Ulrich

Problems with memory leaks
by Geir Arne Evjen 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

I've been using Zope 2.5 for some months now basically for thermodynamic calculations, and I have discovered memory leaks. I've installed 10 extensions where 4 of them are accessing C++ code (with no leaks), and the 6 others are using MySQL to get some data. When I'm using XML-RPC from the client to access the functions I can see that the memory is eaten on the server. How it it possible for Zope to leak memory?? When I'm cheking the memory it seems like the memory is constant for some time, but suddenly jumps up a few kb. Is this normal? Could it be that the garbage collector is not doing his job? PS. I'm not using any global variables which I write to. Greetings from, Geir Arne Evjen Norway

by george donnelly 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

hi, I'm trying out 2.6.0 (the binary) and running it for the first time on RH7.2 w/ instance home I get these errors in my supid log file saying zope couldn't install OFSP or ZCatalog (see below). I unpacked and installed zope as user zope, set the sticky bit, and started it as root. its running as user zope. and yet zcatalog and ofsp show up in the products folder and are not broken. and i'm able to add new dtml docs and methods, images and zcatalogs. (I also installed Zope 2.6.0 from source (as root), started it with instance home and got the same thing.) any ideas appreciated! :) 2002-11-13T09:18:45 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't install OFSP Traceback (innermost last): Module OFS.Application, line 700, in install_product - __traceback_info__: OFSP Module ZODB.Transaction, line 222, in commit Module ZODB.Transaction, line 195, in commit Module ZODB.Transaction, line 256, in _commit_objects Module ZODB.Connection, line 389, in commit - __traceback_info__: (('intSet', 'intSet'), '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x089', '') Module ZODB.FileStorage, line 705, in store ConflictError: database conflict error (oid 0000000000000839, serial was 0342cf4fff06046e, now 0000000000000000) ------ 2002-11-13T09:18:45 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't install ZCatalog Traceback (innermost last): Module OFS.Application, line 700, in install_product - __traceback_info__: ZCatalog Module ZODB.Transaction, line 222, in commit Module ZODB.Transaction, line 195, in commit Module ZODB.Transaction, line 256, in _commit_objects Module ZODB.Connection, line 389, in commit - __traceback_info__: (('intSet', 'intSet'), '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x0e\xb5', '') Module ZODB.FileStorage, line 705, in store ConflictError: database conflict error (oid 0000000000000eb5, serial was 034171ca34c3c4e6, now 0000000000000000) <--> george donnelly - http://zettai.net/ - "We Love Newbies" :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo, AIM: zettainet - ICQ: 51907738 - e:george@zettai.net

Log out
by General Info 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

help!!! until now whenever i opened a new browser window, zope asked for user/psswd. however, today i tried it on a diff computer (w/ an older version of ie i belive..) and it did not ask for authentication if an authenticated user already has a window open. so, i closed all browser windows, but the old user was still authenticated. i have not checked but i'm sure the connectino will timeout after a while. SO i would like to now how i can provide the user w/ a 'log out' button so they can make sure that they have been logged out of the site, as the content displayed for each user is different/for their eyes only. i know the problem would be solved most likely by updating the brower, but since there will be a large amount of users, i cannot control that... please advice.

Merging ZPT's
by Blurg 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Hi, In perl I was used to merge html templates by the decision of a script. Thus, for example, I have a script and a bunch of HTML templates. Now, the script can decide for some reason, to built the final HTML page in lots of ways when the final HTML page consists of 2 templates depending on how it's called, for example: First half of the page: Template A Second half of the page: Template B or Template C or ... So, how do I do this in a Zope python script? Can I just return 2 templates, so that it will merge the two page templates in one HTML page? I hope I made my point clear.

CMF Member capitalization and duplication prevention (a mouth full)
by BZ 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

I have been digging through the code trying to figure out how I can stop members from registering with the same name but different capitalization (ie, 'BZ', 'bz', 'Bz', 'bZ'). The closest I came was in" http://cvs.zope.org/CMF/CMFDefault/RegistrationTool.py Where there is a function line: if not self.isMemberIdAllowed(username): I would like to try and edit that function but cannot find where it is in the source code. Has anyone done this and am I looking in the right area? Thanks, BZ
