RE: [Zope] Changing a Zope environment variable?

Thanks Jerome/Chris, Adding a new Windows System Variable, and restarting the Zope service, didn't seem to do the trick... But, modifying start.bat to look like this - "E:\Zope\Zope-2.5.1\bin\python.exe" "E:\Zope\Zope-2.5.1\z2.py" -w 80 ZSESSION_TIMEOUT_MINS=180 -D %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 Works great. The entry in z2.py (ZSESSION_TIMEOUT_MINS=180) is not required. But I still have the problem of wanting Zope to run as a winnt service =\ Michael -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Chris McDonough Sent: Thursday, 18 July 2002 10:53 AM To: Michael Fox; Jerome Alet Cc: zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Changing a Zope environment variable?

Of Containers, Objects and Properties
by Dan Shafer 18 Jul '02

18 Jul '02

I have a folder containing multiple DTML Method objects. The folder has some properties. Each DTML method has its own set of properties that are different from those of the folder. Everything is being generated dynamically by Python scripts. When I query the folder for its propertyItems as in: print context.propertyItems called with the folder as the context, I get a list of all the properties in the folder *and* in all of its contained DTML Method objects. Not what I had in mind. Worse, when I call the same script using one of the documents in the folder as the context, I *still* get returned a list of all the properties in the folder and all of its contained DTML methods. Is there some inheritance or traversal going on here? Is this expected behavior? If not, does this behavior indicate I've assigned properties incorrectly or some such thing?

ZPT DTML-tree?
by Reinoud van Leeuwen 18 Jul '02

18 Jul '02

Hi, having used DTML-tree in the past, I was wondering whether there is something similar (and as easy to use) in ZPT. Preferably something that is useable without having to use frames... -- __________________________________________________ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen reinoud.v(a)n.leeuwen.net http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud __________________________________________________

dyndns and timeouts

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone! I'm still newbie-ish, and been lurking for a while...I just got a domain name, and through hn.org, I've got it set up with a vanity account for my-name.hn.org, which points to my-name.com, since I'm on a dynamic ip through my dsl provider. The problem is that when I try to connect through www.my-name.com or my-name.com, zope times out on me, but only after I try to log in: I get to the "Welcome to Zope!" page, but when after I login, I never see the /manage page because of the timeout. This does not happen when I go to my-name.hn.org/manage or if I do localhost/manage or to the ip/manage. Another funky thing that occurs is that I can access other directory pages, such as www.my-name.com/Test but if I attach "manage" to the end of the URL, I get timed out again. :-\ Very odd. Anyone got any ideas? Russell PS.

Get properties from Python code
by Jim Kutter 18 Jul '02

18 Jul '02

I have a python script that I'd like to get a property from a page template. What would the code look like to do that? I've tried context['page.html'].properties['redirect'], context['page.html'].properties.getProperty('redirect'), and can't find anything in the docs that indicate how to do something like that... Or, even better this is what I want to do -> When someone goes to a members only page, check if they're logged in, if so display the page, otherwise redirect them to the login form. After they login, I want to redirect them back to the page they originally wanted. I'm NOT using the CMF, so I have to do logins, auth, and all that jazz myself. -jim

RE: [Zope] Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp (login problem)

Hi again, First of all I'd like to thank those who've been trying to help me. Unfortunately it hasn't been successfull so far. So, here's an update on the current status. Maybe you'll find more info to help me out. :-) When I wrote my first mail (see below) this was how START.BAT looked like: * Trying offline with no NIC installed, see attachment: no_nic_offline.txt * Trying online with no NIC installed, see attachtment: no_nic_online.txt And my hosts.sam file looked like this (still does), see attachment: hosts.txt After your tips I tried several but --as you already understood-- without success. So, I got myself a NIC and installed it. It was recognized by Win98 and drivers were installed. Now I tried to login offline again but unluckily again without success. This is how START.BAT looked like: with_nic_offline.txt Other settings etc.: * Windows 98 SE * Computername: POPEYE * Browser: Ms Internet Explorer 4.5 * Zope version: 2.5.1 * Zope superuser: StJohnHospital NB: Everytime I tried to login, I used all of the following addresses: * http://localhost:8080/manage * http://popeye:8080/manage * http://127.0.0.1:8080/manage * http://StJohnHospital:8080/manage Hopefully this leads to solving my problem! Many thanks! Yvon Breuer -----Original Message----- From: Breuer, Yvon Sent: Dienstag, 16. Juli 2002 10:30 To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp (login problem) Hi Zope-wizards, As you can see in my subject: I'm getting quite frustrated by some stupid error when I'm trying to login to my Zope server. (Yep, I'm a newbie...) Situation I'm going to create a website to gather funds for a hospital in Ghana (St. John of God Hospital in Duayaw Nkwanta). To get an idea about the situation: http://www.zwo.nhl.nl/hbov/buitenlandstage/ghana.html (Dutch & English). Website I want to do this with Zope & Python. I want people to be able to do online donations, retrieve information about the project, maybe send a mailinglist to keep them up to date and there are many more plans. So: I've got a lot to learn... Learn & develop @ work & @ home In order to learn as quickly as possible I tried to install Zope at work and at home (of course during my break ;-) ). At work (Win2000 Prof.), everything functions OK. I've done the tutorial and I'm now working myself through the ZopeBook. So far so good, but... My problem At home I've installed Zope (2.5.1) on my computer (Win98). No errors occured during installation. So, just like at work I tried to login to Zope for the first time, but... When I start the START.BAT, my computer starts a dial-in to my internetprovider! It seems this occurs when START.BAT is trying to retrieve my hostname. When START.BAT is finished, I type in... * http://127.0.0.1:8080/manage (START.BAT comes up with 127.0.0.1 as localhost and 8080 as port) * http://popeye:8080/manage or http://popeye:8021/manage (popeye is the computername in my Win98 network-settings and START.BAT comes up with popeye as localhost for port 8021) * http://localhost:8080/manage (should always work, right? Not!) * http://stjohnhospital:8080/manage (stjohnhospital is the superuser I installed Zope with) ... but none of them works!!! All that happens is that my browser (MsIE) when I'm offline shows me that the page cannot be found and when I'm online it shows me either "server error" or "page not found". >:-(( NB: It doesn't matter wether I login to my internprovider or not. I'm quite sure it's nonesense to be online in order to login to a local Zope-server, but hey, I've tried everything possible (as far as I know). I also tried to un- and reinstall Zope, but that didn't work either. :-( So please, help me out here!!! (In a short while I've got some days off and I want to do some work for the website at home.) Not only me, but also the people we're trying to help will be very gratefull! ;-)) Best regards, Yvon Breuer
