Pointer/Examples would be a great help. Things to check: - In your protected folders, have permissions for Anonymous been revoked? Is "Acquire permissions settings?" still checked on those permissions? - For each area where you want users to have non-default access, did you create a User Folder there (or in one of its parents) with their usernames, passwords, and roles? I can definitely vouch that non-Manager users simply don't have access outside the folder where their User Folder is. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- renfro(a)tntech.edu

Login using the Zope utility
by McDonnell, Larry 30 Jul '02

Hi, I thought I could use Zope's Login utility to restrict access to certain folders and create users (local users) who can use these folders. I notice that there is a trail as I move around the site. I cannot let some users into these area but they can see the path and without some type of restriction they can have access. Pointer/Examples would be a great help. TIA. Larry McDonnell Proton Energy Systems 50 Inwood Rd. Rocky Hill, CT 06067 (860) 571-6533 ext. 531 Email:lmcdonnell@protonenergy.com www.protonenergy.com

what product for authentication from db?
by Robert Boyd 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

Zope newbie here... I have a group of users on an existing system that holds user/password info in a postgres database. I now am building a Zope application that these same users will log into. I want to authenticate from my database. I can't make out which product is best and most up-to-date for this -- the New Riders Zope Book talks about LoginManager, but it apparently won't work with the most recent Zope. So, Extensible User Folder, Generic User Folder, Simple User Folder, or something else? Thanks for any recommendations. rob __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: [Zope] RE: Online donation and Zope

We used PayPal for one of our small projects. I had a ticket(s) to sell to an event. The user filled out info on a form and when they submitted that form, it wrote the info to our DB. The next page had a link to pay online via PayPal. They clicked that and did their thing on PP and the final confirmation link went back to our site with a hidden field which contained the userid originally inserted into my table AND passed on to PP. Their record was updated with a PAID status and we just went to PP and checked on the order details. Sort of a cheesy way to handle it, really, but it worked. Ideally, one would write a python program to handle the auto-confirmation coming back in from PayPal. I inquired about this a while back and did not have the knowledge to do it myself. Seems like a Python wizard could whip this out in a few minutes... Its all on the PP website as to how to handle this transaction. Seems like it would be a GREAT thing to have as a Zope product in the form of Python External methods.

Untill now I don't know how to do that. Simply, because I'm not far enough in the development of my website. To begin with I'd better learn Zope a little bit better. :-) Before starting with these kind of advanced features for the site. But, I've heard about PayPal! (See: http://www.paypal.com) It can be used for online payments, so for donations too. This is what I was thinking of for my site. I haven't searched into this more deeply, because I didn't need it immediately. But (again), since you are interested too (and seem to need this information now) I'll post some questions to the list: 1. Does anybody have experience with PayPal? If so: Was it any good? Why or why not? 2. Do credit card companies have a standard module or program to have online payments on your website? 3. Is there a way to let people fill out a online 'authorization form'? I don't know the correct term for this in English. What I mean is that someone gives you the right to let you withdraw a certain amount from his/her bankaccount. This might be only once or regularly (say once a month) depending on what this person filled out on that 'authorization form'. 4. It there a *** preferred ;-) *** product available for Zope? 5.

ports install on FreeBSD 4.5
by Jack Coates 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

Zope won't install from the ports tree, throwing this error: PKG_PREFIX=/usr/local /bin/sh pkg-install zope-2.5.1_2 PRE-INSTALL pkg-install: UID: readonly variable I fixed it by editing pkg-install and replacing all instances of UID with ZUID. It looks to me like the intent of the script is to set what UID and GID Zope runs under, and echo $UID returns a value which the script is not allowed to overwrite. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...

ExternalEditor permission matters
by Peter Bengtsson 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

My first visit today was http://myhost:8080/somefolder/manage and from there I tried to use the ExternalEditor thing ( this was windows) but it didn't work becuase of an unauthorized error message in the Zope External Editor. As soon as I once had visited http://myhost:8080/manage everything was working fine again. In /somefolder/ I have a cookie_crumbler instance if that matters. Anyways. This fooled me into thinking there was a bug with ExternalEditor but it was more likely a ugly webdav trick I didn't spot. Maybe worth a warning on the product page.

ZCatalog: Dates
by Thomas Guettler 30 Jul '02

Hi! Which index should I use if I want to index dates? How can I search between date ranges? Is there a mirror of zope? I need the zopeBook, but zope.org is very slow at the moment. thomas
