User Folder default behavior
by Charlie Reiman 21 Aug '02

I just noticed the default option for the stock User Folder is to not encrypt passwords. Why? Shouldn't any web server that gets exposed to the real world error on the side more security and less convenience?

Re: [Zope] Creating python script from python

Check the bindings. If you need access to the DTML namespace, you must explicitly set it to be '_' as the default is None.

You aren't using anything weird like transparent folders are you?

dtml access to "container" within zclass
by Ra 20 Aug '02

20 Aug '02

hi all, is there any way to gain access to an instance of a zclass from a dtml method that is within that zclass? in a python script, this is exposed as the "container" variable (assuming the binding is set, of course), but in a dtml method i can't figure out how to make it happen. specifically, i have a dtml method called "detail_html" and a python script called "detail", both in a zclass that does NOT actually live in the zope object file system (it's a loginmanager user object). i'd like to have the detail_html method work like this: <dtml-with "detail()"> ... ... </dtml-with> such that the detail python script returns a namespace which populates the dtml method. nothing i do seems to work, though... "detail" doesn't exist in the global namespace, nor in "_". my workaround is to have the python script call the dtml method and then return it, like so: ... ... return container.detail_html(context, subdict) where "subdict" is a dictionary of values that are then exposed in the dtml method's namespace. this works, but it's less than ideal, because it needlessly obfuscates the code, IMO. i don't want my front-end designers to have to be digging through complicated python code to figure out which dtml methods are being used... i'd much rather have them just see the dtml code, which would quietly suck in the data from the python script using <dtml-with>. am i missing something obvious? -r

Gripe of the day: "Undefined" error in page templates
by Paul Winkler 20 Aug '02

I really, *really* wish that referring to an undefined name in a page template would tell you WHAT is undefined. this is on zope 2.5.1... -- Paul Winkler "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"
