exuserfolder and permissions.
by Jan Johansson 07 Jun '02

07 Jun '02

(Yes, i have read 5.1 in The UnenlightnedZopiestas Guide to exuserfolder) i have Root Folder / j2 / acl_users (an exuser folder) Root Folder / j2 / docLogin Root Folder / j2 / docLogout Root Folder / j2 / site (all permission are set to acquire) Root Folder / j2 / site / protect (permissions set so that only the role permtest has view access) I add users to my acl_users, and set permtest on one user. Now, loging on to /j2/site/protect with a user that DOESNT have permtest, i just get the "logon" again. Thats fair enogh. BUT if i do it with a user that HAS permission, Zope pops up a login pop box, and i cant get on, since it seems to point to an upstream user folder. What am i missing? I have placed the folder to protect a level under the acl_user folder. So, now what?

Thanks to all for their help in getting my database connection back. It did turn out to be a privileges/access issue. These are the steps I finally took **Kill my mysql processes and start up mysql with --skip-grant-tables **reset my root password & flush privileges %mysql -u root mysql %update user set password=password('newpassword') where user='root'; %flush privileges I did this for all of my user passwords.

MySQL is picky about the connection string. Use the administrative tools to find out what it expects and/or reset the system to want what you are providing. >Last week I set up Zope/MySQL, and I was able to connect to a MySQL database >using ZMySQLDA.

auth info in RESPONSE.redirect
by Aseem Mohanty 06 Jun '02

06 Jun '02

Hi, Is there any way to send the authorisation information gotten by something like : ac = encodestring('%s:%s' % (username, password)) auth = 'Basic %s' % ac alongwith a RESPONSE.redirect('url') where url is a protected resource, so that the validation does not pop up a username/password box and uses the suth info provided. TIA.

External method woes Zope 2.5.1 - no parameters being passed into external method - works fine with a refresh
by Sean McGrath 06 Jun '02

06 Jun '02

I download a fresh Zope 2.5.1 for Windows. I create an external method "foo". def foo (self, REQUEST, RESPONSE): return "Hello World." I register it with id "foo". First invocation of /foo gives me: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: foo() takes exactly 3 arguments (0 given) I hit refresh and all is well! Occasionally but unpredictably, the problem re-occurs but disappears again for a while when I hit refresh. Browser is IE 6. Does this scenario ring any bells with anyone? regards, Sean

TAL Syntax for Iterating Over List of Dictionaries
by Dan Shafer 06 Jun '02

06 Jun '02

Given a Python script that returns a list of dictionaries that looks like this: [{'title': 'Article 1', 'Summary': 'Summary of Article 1'} {'title': 'Article 2', 'Summary': 'Summary of Article2'}] and the need to create a table in a ZPT template that has the key of each dictionary in column 1 and the summary of each dictionary in column 2, could someone give me correct tal syntax? I think I can see how this would work if I were returning a single dictionary (though I haven't been able to get that to quite work yet) but I can't find anything about iterating over a list of dictionaries from TAL. For completeness, here's the Python script. It iterates over all objects in a folder from which it is run. Obviously it needs error-checking and other doodads, but hopefully this is enough to enable someone to help me here. Thanks. articleList=[] for x in context.objectValues(): articleInfo={} articleInfo['title']= x.getProperty('title') articleInfo['Summary'] = x.getProperty('Summary') articleList.append(articleInfo) return articleList (And, yes, I do have this working as a pure ZPT page. I'm trying to learn to use Python from ZPT correctly for cases where larger amounts of information or more complex pre-processing rule out pure ZPT solutions.)
