Is it possible to sync in a version? It would be great to make a new version at target machine, sync to it, verify that everything is OK, and then commit the version. -- Milos Prudek

Cookie authentication: CUF and XUF
by darrylc 07 Mar '02

07 Mar '02

I have been running tests with IE 5 and IE 6 and am running into the same problem. If I set the CUF to expire the cookies after the browser session, I can view the first page on my site, but if I go to another link within the same site/level I get thrown back to the authorization page and zope thinks I am an anonymous user. This is with the expiration set to end after the session. Testing with Netscape, Galeon, or Opera works fine. Anyone else see this? Zope: 2.4.3 OS: Linux RH 7.2 XUF seems to totally ignore the fact that I have set cookies as my authenticaton method. If I set the method to Basic Auth. I get challenged via http. With cookies I sail on through. This could be user error. Do I need to write my own dtml methods to like docLogin, etc. Or should XUF be automatically be using the "Contents" tab?? TIA, -Darryl

Automatically create SQL table from existing form?
by Joel Burton 07 Mar '02

07 Mar '02

I've been handed a bunch of HTML forms that currently have the ACTION set to a scritp send email with the values. I want to switch these to stuffing into a database, but would rather not hand-examine the forms to find the fields and field sizes and create SQL tables manually. I know there are sophisticated Zope products to create editing forms from existing SQL tables (Znolk and family). Great, but not what I need here. Is there a simple script someone has which looks at an HTML form, finds the <input ..> and <textareas ..> and crafts a SQL table from it?

Re: [Zope] [Newbie] Making my own authentication form

There are several products out there that should help you along with this. Do a search on Zope.org for Cookie Crumbler or Cookie User Folder. Also exUserFolder might also be of interest. hth, Todd On 07 Mar 2002, <aleciesse(a)infinito.it> wrote: > Hi all, I'm a Zope really new user.

Hi Darren, You wrote: ... snip >This sounded like what I was experiencing.

So I took a look at the Start script and it was indeed setting the "-D" option in the last line of the script. I removed the last line, restarted >Zope and it has been up since. ...snip I'm a zope-digest member and thought your problem was so trivial that I didn't respond. But now I think I should. If you'r using a Unix or Linux operating system and you start the Start script like this: prompt>./start <enter> or prompt>/Web/zope/start <enter> Than the output zope generates is attached to the window in which you started zope. When you want to start zope in Debug mode, but want to be able to close a window, you should make sure the Zope proces is pushed to the background, like this: prompt>./start & <enter> Problem solved...

Testing ZSQL Methods that take lists as parameters
by Smith, Neil 07 Mar '02

07 Mar '02

Is there some way to enter a list into a field on the test page of a Z Sql Method? I've tried putting stuff like [1,2,3] (1,2,3) etc, but it is always just passed to the SQL method as a string. It would be nice to be able to test without having to manually set up some test methods to call them with a list parameter.

Hey! I'm working up a quick re to give me the folder above a webpage... For instance: ### I want: http://www.the.net/bigfolder/ ### import re url = "http://www.the.net/bigfolder/somepage.html" htmlfile = re.compile("/\w*\.html") htmlfile.match(href_url) if htmlfile: folder_url = htmlfile.sub(href_url, "/") For some reason I cannot get my re to do this right... I goit a bunch of hits while searching that indicated many people were having trouble with re in 2.2 python. Is this the case? Anyone know what the syntax is to compile that re? TIA -ed-

Help with accesssing session information
by Karl Munroe 07 Mar '02

07 Mar '02

I need help with finding out how do I use sessions in zope from asp I can use the Session object to track a user with the SessionId identifying the users unique session on the server. I was looking at the API reference and came up with the fillowing : **************************************************************************** ********************* module SessionInterfaces Session API See Also Transient Object API class SessionDataManagerErr Error raised during some session data manager operations, as explained in the API documentation of the Session Data Manager. This exception may be caught in PythonScripts. A successful import of the exception for PythonScript use would need to be: from Products.Sessions import SessionDataManagerErr class BrowserIdManagerInterface Zope Browser Id Manager interface. A Zope Browser Id Manager is responsible for assigning ids to site visitors, and for servicing requests from Session Data Managers related to the browser id. getBrowserId(self, create=1) If create=0, returns a the current browser id or None if there is no browser id associated with the current request. If create=1, returns the current browser id or a newly-created browser id if there is no browser id associated with the current request. This method is useful in conjunction with getBrowserIdName if you wish to embed the browser-id-name/browser-id combination as a hidden value in a POST-based form. The browser id is opaque, has no business meaning, and its length, type, and composition are subject to change. Permission required: Access contents information Raises: BrowserIdManagerErr if ill-formed browser id is found in REQUEST. isBrowserIdFromCookie(self) Returns true if browser id comes from a cookie. Permission required: Access contents information Raises: BrowserIdManagerErr. If there is no current browser id. isBrowserIdNew(self) Returns true if browser id is new. A browser id is new when it is first created and the client has therefore not sent it back to the server in any request. Permission required: Access contents information Raises: BrowserIdManagerErr. If there is no current browser id. **************************************************************************** ********************** Where can I find more documentation? Is there anyway I can make use of these modules and classes by calling them from dtml method or document? I can probably use these to simulate tracking by session, am I too wishful in my thinking? The problem is I do not want to install a product with user management such as Cookieuser folder. I am currently using zope 2.3.3.....wanted to wrk with this one, I am going to upgrade soon.
