Hi, I'm trying to build an LDAP directory manager in Zope. I'm not to the level of creating products, but I understand that python script couldn't import ldap module. What is the best way to approach this? Regards, Lukman Salim

Access Rules
by Dennis Allison 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

Access rules use the before_traverse hook. When does that hook get invoked? Suppose a page at /a/b/c/d accesses /a/b/c/e will an acess rule at /a/b get invoked? Is there any difference in behavior for absolute_urls and relative urls?

WebDAV Redirects or overriding IDs duing creation
by Johan Carlsson [Torped] 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

Hi all, Is it possible to make a redirect during a WebDAV request. For instance I have a PROPFIND one an object that has been renamed and I whan the PROPFIND to access the object with the new ID. I have tried to return a prop result with the information from the renamed object, but the client seems to ignore that (no kidding its MS Web Folder, so what did I expect ;-) Is there a correct way to do this. What I want to do is for the server to override the requested ID on any object or collection that is being created with something more appropriate like the created objects/collections meta_type. MS WebFolders defaults to "New Folder" for collections.

Zope for interactive CD-ROM?
by Paul Winkler 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

Has anybody distributed Zope as part of an interactive CD-ROM? I'm thinking it wouldn't take much to get it to run on windows and linux, at least: - zope binaries - my Data.fs - a launcher python script that starts Zope on port 8080, and starts the system's preferred browser (I forget what module does that but it's part of the python standard libs.) - start_win.bat & start_lin.sh - README :) Has anyone tried this? Issues? -- Paul Winkler "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"

How to specify <name>.html from Python script?
by Andreas Tille 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

Hello, I created a Python Script which did some stuff and should afterwards display the default page of the current container which is test.html You guess it that return container.test.html(REQUEST) will fail. I replaced it temporarily by test_html - but I would prefer the test.html notation for some reason. How to call this in the script?? Kind regards Andreas.

Allowing Regular expressions in Python Script
by Andreas Rippel 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

Hi, for using regular expressions in python script (import re ...) I used the explained method via a directory in lib/python/Products see > cat lib/python/Products/GlobalModules/__init__.py # Global module assertions for Python scripts from Products.PythonScripts.Utility import allow_module allow_module('base64') allow_module('re') allow_module('time') I can use all time attributes and methods, but when I'm calling e.g. re.compile("a").match("ba", 1) in the script I get a authentification window from zope. This happens for different plattforms. Any idea what additional rights are necessary or whats happening at that point?

Since the try/except clause didn't work, it's quite clear that getattr isn't raising the exception. Maybe it happens inside ZopeFind. ZopeFind also has the possibility to limit search results based on permission (see the "advanced" tab under Find in the ZMI. IIRC, you can use something like ZopeFind(..., obj_permission=[list of permissions], obj_roles=[list of roles]), where you define which roles should have which permission on the object. Another possiblity is to use obj_expr="something", where something tests if the actual user is allowed to view the object. cheers, oliver

Yes, showing REQUEST in the target did indeed solve the problem: It was Formulator not using the name of the field only as a variable name, but a name of field_<name>. Now this finally seems to work as I intended. Thanks to you all for your hints, it helped a lot to know where to look. Dag

TextIndexNG and mime type
by Kevin Carlson 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

I just installed TextIndexNG and I cannot seem to get it to create an index on existing catalog context. I keep getting the error(s): "text/x-unknown-content-type" not registered in registry "converters" or, "application/octet-stream" not registered in registry "converters" or something similar. The first error message occurs if the content_type is application/octet-stream. The second error occurs only on selected items that have content_type of application/pdf. Can anyone offer an idea as to what is going on? Thanks, Kevin
