Default Permissions
by Antonio Beamud Montero 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

Hello again: I have set some permissions over differents methods and I have assigned default permissions over different local roles with setPermissionDefault: security.setPermissionDefault('get_user_path',('MyRole',)) At this point all works ok, but when I check the "Security" tab in that object the local roles appears, but this default permissions assigned doesn't appear... What happens here? Thanks. -- Microsoft merges technologoies: Windows CE + Windows ME + Windows NT = Windows CEMENT ---- Antonio Beamud Montero Agora Systems S.A. http://www.agoratechnologies.com

R: [Zope] MSword-webdav question
by Zanotti Michele 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

In my tests with MSWord 2000 (9.0.2812) and Zope 2.5.0, I have this more regular behaviour: after I have modified a document if I reopen it (after a very short time), it is read-only, if I close and reopen it, everything is ok.

WebDAV, Zope, M$ and implications...
by Matt Gregory 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

I was just talking to a BEA representative who also happened to do some consulting at a company I used to work for. This representative mentioned to me that my former employer (who is one of the biggest supporters of the Zope corporation due to a HUGE array of zope and ZEO servers, support contracts, consultants, etc...) just dropped Zope because of a management feud over WebDAV and M$Office support. I have not been able to confirm if this is true, but it sure had an impact on my current boss. If you know about BEA's Portal Server, it uses the WebDAV protocol to connect to any content management system. They provide an API which is supposed to connect to any WebDAV compliant content management system. He dropped this remark in a meeting with my boss (after I stuck my neck out and supported Zope as a good choice for managing our content). I have already written a connection pool and library for pulling zope content over an HTTP connection directly into our JSP pages. I'm using Zope 2.5, and I think that my former employer wasn't, so this may no longer be an issue. I need to know all about Zope, WebDAV, Microsoft office WebDAV and if Zope and M$ work friendly over that protocol. How stable is the zope DAV support, etc... I'm not under fire yet but I fear that I may soon be. P.S. I would also love to grab the names of any Python developers with extensive Zope experience who want to work potential contracts in Knoxville, TN. They could come in handy later when our implementation goes live, helping me get up to speed on some features, etc...

RE: [Zope] Getting an Epoch date from DTML?

> ADateTimeObject.millis() will give you the number of > milliseconds since the > epoch. Aaah, thanks. I found this way "<dtml-var "_.DateTime()" null="" fmt="%s">" and it seems to work, but i guess "There are more then one way to do it"? :) Thankyou.

Thanks Paul, But isn't this change in Zope 2.5.0 code (in changes.txt of 2.5.0 I read: "WebDAV: The long outstanding read-only problem with WinWord and .html is finally solved...")? In webdav_debug.log I can see in every response a line: "Etag: " Michele > -----Messaggio originale----- > ..... > I think you need this: > http://cvs.zope.org/Zope/doc/CHANGES.txt?rev=1.400&content-type=text/vnd.vie wcvs-markup&only_with_tag=MAIN Paul -- The Library, Tyndall Avenue, Univ. of Bristol, Bristol, BS8 1TJ, UK E-mail: paul.browning(a)bristol.ac.uk URL: http://www.bris.ac.uk/

MSword-webdav question
by Zanotti Michele 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

Hi all I have Zope 2.5 (started with option: W -9800) on win2k and Office XP. I can open/read/modify MSWord documents via WebFolder, but if I open-modify-save-close a document, and then I reopen it, it appears read-only and only after some time I can reopen and modify it. Can anyone help me to understand what happens after I modify a document the first time and why it remains locked for some time and what unlock it? Michele

ZClass questions
by A M Thomas 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

Hello there, I've read all I could find on customizing Products' ZClasses - the entire "Zope Book", some of another book, searched Zope.org, and I just read through Loren STafford's ZClass Properties howto. I've been working on a ZClass of my own, and I have some questions. The main one is this: I want to control the appearance of one of my ZClass's views, which will be used to update the properties of instances (this will become the main view). I defined a view, defined a method to connect with the view, and I have a property sheet with everything. I'm just not content with the "default" propertysheets/[my thingie]/manage method for displaying the form. I tried just setting my custom form action to this, also, and it sort of works, but after an update, I get "Your changes have been saved" with an "OK" button - and when I click the button, it goes to a default propertysheet management screen - disorienting :) I got the form displaying, all right, and I can update the values - easy. I think my problem is that I don't know either a) what to set the form's action to, b) if I have to write my own method for updating the properties, or c) if I can just somehow call the same method and update the properties if the properties are set. I experimented with approach (c) and wound up clearing all the properties. Is there a document somewhere that will fill in the gaps in my knowledge that this question illuminates? I want to make nice-looking property management interfaces for my ZClasses - and I'll want a good, flexible solution for doing that. If manage_changeProperties(REQUEST=None, **kw) is what I want (maybe in a <dtml-call> tag inside a <dtml-if> tag in my main method), how do I call it most gracefully? Many thanks, Am Thomas

popen hangs on W2K
by Thomas Guettler 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

Hi! popen3() of the python (2.1.2) which comes with zope hangs on W2K: (stdin, stdout, stderr)=popen3('wvWare -x wvware.xml foo.doc') text=stdout.read() --> read never ends. It works if wvware produces few output, but with larger files it hangs (0% CPU usage). wvware is a binary from gnuwin32.sourceforge.net Platform: Windows 2000 SP2 Has someone seen this problem before? thomas
