Anonymous view for properties of objects
by vsbabu＠vsbabu.org 31 Jul '02

Hello, I've some scripts to automatically generate a navigation list, that used to work with Zope 2.1.6. eg: <dtml-in "objectItems(['Folder'])"> <dtml-var title_or_id> </dtml-in> In Zope 2.5, this gives an error for non-authenticated users like "you are not authorized to view the property title". Hints? Thanks in advance Satheesh Babu http://vsbabu.org/

Cut and Paste Programmatically
by John "Amazn" Hazen 31 Jul '02

31 Jul '02

Does anyone know how to cut and paste programmatically by passing in the variable names? What I'd like to do is setup a form that would allow a user to enter a file_name, select a folder from a list and then run a dtml-method on this input. The method would involve calling either a python script or external method that would take in the users input and cut and paste the object into the correct folder. Any idea on how I could go about doing this? I have seen a lot of code that involves hard-coding in the folders, but is there anyway around this? Any help would be appreacited. Thanks, john

Running Zope as a daemon (sp?) on Linux.
by Alec Munro 31 Jul '02

31 Jul '02

Hi all, First time running Zope on Linux, and I've created a user solely for the purpose of running Zope. This user is called "zope". I'm not great with Linux, so there's probably something very simple I'm missing. I want to have Zope be run by this user every time the machine starts. I can SSH in to the machine as user "zope" and start Zope, and as long as the SSH connection is open, Zope runs. But how would I set something up so Zope would run as this user all the time. Thanks very much, Alec Munro

Getting more out of logging? What is the best way to get information about problems with Zope? Any help?
by Heimo Laukkanen 31 Jul '02

31 Jul '02

Hi all, I've been experiencing some problems with an application that our customers are using from their network. I assume that their browsers - or atleast some of them - are a bit modified versions of Internet Explorer. Now some users have had problems with applications and we are unable to reproduce the errors. Our Zope sists behind Apache and I have tried to get any information from Apache or Zope logs. Log's are no use, since we do see where does the request come from and that it did get an error response back. However I don't get out from the logs the information that caused the error messages. Is there a way - or what would be the best way - to get also the tracebacks and more information about the enviroment during the error? Any good ideas are appreciated! Help! ,-) -huima

HTML Document rendering?
by Jaroslav Lukesh 31 Jul '02

31 Jul '02

Hi all, I do not want to access HTML documents directly via URL, I want to render these documents via dtml-var method. So few HTML documents will be rendered into one page with omit all other than BODY container. I has DTML pages what are rendered into one page with that method (this is OK for DTML Document only): <dtml-in expr="objectValues('DTML Document')" sort=id> <dtml-if "hasProperty('hide')"><dtml-else> <dtml-if "hasProperty('html')"> <dtml-elif expr="_.string.find(_['id'],'.htm')>0"> <dtml-var sequence-item> <dtml-else> <dtml-var sequence-item fmt=structured-text> </dtml-if> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> This is fully functional with HTML segments (content between <body>&</body> tags only) uploaded via FTP and saved as DTML Document. But I want to upload whole HTML documents. So I install HTML document product and change dtml-in: <dtml-in expr="objectValues('DTML Document', 'HTML Document')" sort=id> then browse page, and I have receive error (see attachment) navi_CHILD DTML method mentioned in error report is: <dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectValues('Folder')" sort=poradi> <a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>/" class="navlchild"> <dtml-var title_or_id></a><br> </dtml-in>

self-referential page design
by Jeff Sacksteder 31 Jul '02

31 Jul '02

I'm looking for general advice on how I can have a page that contains a search interface AND the results of that search. A detailed description follows. I have page which displays summarized business information for the current month. It is composed of tables which describe the general layout, and each cell contains the results of various other dtml documents generated from zsql queries. I want to add a drop-down form to select the month you would like to view the information from. This I can do; let's call the field in the form input_month. Once I have the page loaded, I can select the month to view and all the component parts run their queries using the input_month parameter. Great. However, when I load the root document, input_month does not have an assigned value. By default , I want it to display the current month. I can derive that information with python script magic. What would be the best way to assign a value to that variable if it's current value is null? I have some ideas, but most of them are bad.

Using SSL with Zope/Apache with url rewriting.
by Alec Munro 31 Jul '02

31 Jul '02

Hi all, I've got my Zope server happily working away behind apache, using URL rewriting. But given as I don't entirely understand URL rewriting or virtual host monsters yet, I have almost no idea how to get SSL working. I need a secure connection to Zope. SSL on apache is working fine, using a dummy certificate. Thanks for any direction you may be able to give me. Alec Munro

How to reload two frames?
by myzope＠softhome.net 31 Jul '02

31 Jul '02

Hello, I have a site with two frames (there is a reason for the use of frames). One frame shows an image of a newspaper page belonging to a certain date. The upper frame is a navigation bar. It can point the other frame to a different image (First page, Back, Forward, Last page) or to a different date (Previous, Next and free). The navigation frame can send the appropriate image to the image frame, but since the value of the variables (date, page) will then have changed, the navigation frame needs to reload too with the new values. Can anybody point to a way to get this done (without Javascript)? BTW does anybody know how to implement an HTML <target="framename"> into a <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(foo)">? Cheers, Dirk

All of a sudden at starting a Zope instance, I get this error message on the console: File "/usr/local/zope/z2.py", line 476, in ? zdaemon.run(sys.argv, os.path.join(CLIENT_HOME, Zpid)) NameError: name 'CLIENT_HOME' is not defined It worked before. I installed some CMF Content types and stuff, but can't remember changing anything above of the Products directory. Stephan
