Publishing pure HTML
by Dennis Allison 22 Jun '02

22 Jun '02

I have a fairly large site with lots of images ( >10,000) that I want to publish in a CMF/Plone environement. It's a requirement that the HTML stuff be available in a file system and incrementally mutable. Moreover, the link structure should not be changed so the site can be run standalone as well as integrated into a Zope wrapper. Finally, parts of the the HTML site need to be renderable inside Zope objects. Has anyone put together a product which manages publishing of static HTML objects that live in the external file system? The ExternalFile product does some of what I want, but it really just proxies the external files in the ZODB and makes them into DTML documents or images. What I need is something that, for a distinguished class of URLs, simply publishes directly out of the file system (a la Apache). Of course I could use an Apache/ZServer combination, I suppose, but I suspect it's got lots of hidden gotchas. -dra

RE: [Zope] running zope from behind router / firewall
by Grimes, Steven 22 Jun '02

If you are using a linksys router you may want to look at the DMZ option. This totally exposes the server but it does not limit you to just 10 ports. See the documentation that came with your router.

My goal: isolate the (linux) server in my office to just server tasks (apache, zope, slashcode) and let another (windows) machine share the single ethernet connection in the office (no chance of getting another ethernet connection). I need to be able to connect another machine because someone else will be sharing my office, and I don't want that person inadvertantly messing up my server (and because the other person has meager skills and won't transition to linux easily even if he were allowed to use the server). What I've done so far: 1) I set up the router with ip addresses, etc., copied from the server 2) I then assigned the server a fixed ip address as advised by linksys (192.168.1.3) 3) I then configured the router to forward requests to the 192.168.1.3 adddres --that is, I have directed all http to port 80 at 192.168.1.3. So now apache works fine. I did the same ssh, ftp, etc, and I can ssh and ftp into the machine as well. I assigned 8080 to the ip address of the server (zope is at 8080) but no luck seeing zope. I set up the mysql server at the standard port, forwarded to the fixed ip as above. But also no luck contacting the mysql server.

User login with html forms
by Andreas Lauser 22 Jun '02

22 Jun '02

Hi! Is there a way to authenticate users using html forms and scripts instead of HTTP? I need that, because I want an integrated login in my homepage instead of the browser's authentication dialog before a protected page is requested. Any hints? thx AND -- I doubt, therefore I might be.

Advice on small zope application
by Stefan Loidl 22 Jun '02

22 Jun '02

Hi, I need some advice on the easiest way to realize a small zope application. The application should allow users to upload (mainly Visio-drawings) to the Zope server and manage them. Other users should only be able to download the files. Requirements: - upload, update (i.e upload a replacement for a file) and deletion of files should be possible - files should be saved in the filessystem, not in the Zope DB - it should be possible to structure the files in a tree - the owner should be able to add comments to the file Nice to have: - only the owner should be able to update/delete a file Are there any Zope products that fulfill this requirements? Any ideas? Thanks! Stefan -- Stefan Loidl Phone: +49 89 289 28882 Leibniz Supercomputing Center Fax: +49 89 2809460 Barer Str. 21 mailto:loidl@lrz.de 80333 Munich, Germany http://www.lrz.de

Random images--but with a caveat
by Chris Muldrow 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

I'm trying to do random image generation on our site, and I've found lots of messages that suggest using whrandom inside a DTML tag like so: <dtml-var expr="_.whrandom.choice(objectValues('Image'))"> Or code to that effect... But here's my catch: I need to check the image that is returned randomly for a Cutline property. If the property is not there, I need to kick that image out and randomly grab another that does have a Cutline. I'm thinking a Python Script would be better suited for this, but I can't seem to get the syntax to work out the way it should. Any ideas? Thanks! - Chris -- Cmuldrow @ fredericksburg.com

redirect to a renamed folder
by Tim Hicks 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

Now I'm pretty sure this is some sort of faq, but I'm really having trouble doing what I thought would be simple. The Problem: I have a site which needs to have one of its subfolders renamed from (say) 'foo' to 'bar'. All subfolders within 'foo' (now 'bar') are the same. No problem so far, but people will have the old url's bookmarked, so I want to redirect people requesting for example: /site/foo/blacksheep to /site/bar/blacksheep. What I've Tried: I figured I'd user standard_error_message to catch 'NotFound' errors, and perform a redirect. This is proving more difficult than I'd anticipated. Here is what I came up with: <dtml-if "error_type"> <dtml-if "error_type == 'NotFound'"> <dtml-let new_path="_.string.join(_.string.split(error_value, '/')[2:], '/')"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('http://192.168.2.2:9980/test/'+new_path, status=301, lock=1)"> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> missed it </dtml-if> The problem is, this seems to redirect to something looking like http://192.168.2.2:9980/test/H2> (including the >). I guess 'error_value' is not the variable I want. I thought maybe I would want TraversalRequestNameStack, but that doesn't appear right either. Really, I want a list of url segments so I can drop in my new folder name in place of the old one, rebuild the url then redirect, but I'm not sure how to do that. Any ideas? cheers tim ps Another way I thought of was to maintain an empty folder named 'foo' with an accessrule python script in it that catches the traverse_subpath and does a redirect, but I'm not sure if that should even work in theory. I haven't used accessrules before, and I had trouble getting things to work. From the archives, I found that I can't use RESPONSE.redirect() from an accessrule, but have to use raise. However, I couldn't get this to work either.
