Zope and SSL
by Thierry Florac 21 Feb '02

21 Feb '02

Hi... I'd like to let users access my Zope web site normally through HTTP, but make my Zope management screens (in fact, any URL containing '/manage') only available through HTTPS. I'm actually using Zope with Apache and mod_rewrite rules using proxy [P]. How could I do this...? Thanks for any help...

ZPT: looping through a list of attributes
by Chad Nantais 21 Feb '02

21 Feb '02

I need insert keywords into the meta keywords part of a web page, dynamically, using page templates. The list of keywords is pulled from a list of subjects like this: ('foo','bar','foobar') The list is actually the subject element from the Dublin Core metadata in CMF content. The code I am using currently is: <meta name="keywords" content="Keywords, will, appear, here" tal:repeat="item here/subject" tal:attributes="content repeat/item"> That code results in (from a list of 5 subjects): <meta name="keywords" content="<Products.PageTemplates.TALES.Iterator instance at 023755CC>"> <meta name="keywords" content="<Products.PageTemplates.TALES.Iterator instance at 023755CC>"> <meta name="keywords" content="<Products.PageTemplates.TALES.Iterator instance at 023755CC>"> <meta name="keywords" content="<Products.PageTemplates.TALES.Iterator instance at 023755CC>"> <meta name="keywords" content="<Products.PageTemplates.TALES.Iterator instance at 023755CC>"> How do I get TAL to list one keyword after another in the quotes rather than creating a new tag on each iteration? Also, how do I convert them to strings, rather than the object instances they are now? Thanks

Zope 2.5 and Formulator
by Pascal Samuzeau 21 Feb '02

21 Feb '02

Hi, I had the old version of Zope 2.4. I've installed the new version of Zope 2.5. I had with my old version the Formulator Product installed Because I read in the INSTALL of the Formulator, that now Formulator comes with Zope, I haven't install Formulator. I've just copied my Data.fs in this new Zope But when I start Zope, I have an error. Zope couldn't find Formulator. 2002-02-21T11:30:16 PROBLEM(100) ZODB Could not import class 'ZMIForm' from module 'Products.Formulator.Form'. What should I do ? Install Formulator ?

confusing redirect problem
by Simon Brun 21 Feb '02

21 Feb '02

hi I use Zope 2.4.0 (source release, python 2.1.1, linux2) I want to display my own 404 error page. So I added a the following lines to my Standard Error Message: <dtml-if "error_type == 'NotFound'"> <dtml-let target="'index_html'"> <h1>This page has moved, you will now be redirected to the correct location. If your browser does not redirect, click <a href="<dtml-var target>"><dtml-var target></a>.</h1> <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.redirect(<dtml-var target>)"> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> index_html is a simple HTML only dtml-document: <html> <head><title>foo...</title></head> <body> ... bar </body> </html> When I enter now a wrong URL (e.g. http://myip:8080/nothing) there is happening something very confusing. I see the html-code (without html, head, body at the beginning) from the index_html with "Bobo-Exception-Value" at the end and under it the forwarding text ("This page has moved, you will now be..."). Here the output: ... bar</body></html> Bobo-Exception-Value: bobo exception Content-Length: 1015 Bobo-Exception-Line: 547 This page has moved, you will now be redirected to the correct location. If your browser does not redirect, click index_html. The URL in the browser doesn't change from 'http://myip:8080/nothing' to 'http://myip:8080/index_html. I tested it with Netscape 4.77, Netscape 6.0.. Thx for any help. regards simon

Re: [Zope] Use Page Template to emulate standard_html_footer and header

I understand and have used this successfully. The problem is that I have a lot of DTML pages which I'd try to avoid rewriting to page templates. But I'd also try to avoid to duplicate code in the page template and the standard_html_footer/header.

FTP/WebDAV editing in version (proposed interface)
by Marcin Kasperski 21 Feb '02

21 Feb '02

I would really love to edit zope objects via FTP or WebDAV within the version. I know that it is possible to hack z2.py this way, but this is unelegant and troublesome on updates. And ... there is in Zope similar problem with perfect solution: changing URLs and VirtualHostMonster. And one could do almost the same. Would be really nice if editing ftp://my.zope.site:8021/_Version_/SomeVersionName/some/document or even ftp://my.zope.site:8021/SomeVersionName/some/document changed /some/document withing version SomeVersionName (created on the top Zope level). Similarly, for the versions on the lower levels: ftp://my.zope/site:8021/somedir/SomeVersionName/some/document Would it be hard to be implemented?

Re: [Zope] Re: Re: Please help newbie access her control manager/panel

Hey, IT'S WORKING! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, EVERYONE!! I decided to turn my firewall program back on since I wasn't getting anywhere with Zope. Then I did what Joel instructed in the original message below. The moment I hit return after the command string, a lot of Zope info showed up in the command window AND the firewall program asked me if i wanted to allow python.exe to access the internet. After i answered "yes," I tried to access the zope manager and it came up!!! Here's a synopsis of the entire situation: Zope V 2.4.3 Windows XP IE 6.0 Unable to access Zope control panel/manager at the following urls (Browswer says "Page cannot be displayed"): - http://localhost:8080/manage - http://127.0.0.1:8080/manage - http://joplop-alpha:8080/manage (joplop-alpha is what showed up after requesting localhost info in a command prompt) Unable to access Zope QuickStart at following urls (Browswer says "Page cannot be displayed"): - http://localhost:8080/ - http://127.0.0.1:8080/ - http://joplop-alpha:8080/ First installed it as a service, didn't work, uninstalled it. Reinstalled it as manual start-up, didn't work, uninstalled it. Reinstalled it as a service, not currently working. Screenshot of start.bat: http://lunamanium.com/startbat.gif - i've let it sit for twenty minutes No firewall program running. Here's a screenshot of what is running on the computer: http://lunamanium.com/netstat.gif There is nothing using the ports that Zope is supposed to be using. Admin Tools > Services - Zope isn't started and it won't stay started; clicking 'Start' brings up following message: "The Zope service WebSite on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts Service." Opened command line and typed: c:\Program Files\WebSite>start.bat -D This triggered Zope to start and now it's working. I'm really excited about getting to use Zope at home. When I know more about Zope, I hope I will be able to help others like I've been helped.

Re: Re: Please help newbie access her control manager/panel

Hello again! After reading the many informative and helpful messages regarding my situation, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and decided to get some p2p help. Today at work I asked my boss for help and he was glad to help me. Since Zope is installed on windows NT there, he went through many settings and areas with me, showing me things to try when I got home. Now that I'm home, here's what has been happening: By means of the Services panel, I found that Zope wasn't started on my home machine. After I clicked 'Start' a progress bar filled then disappeared. Then a pop-up window told me: "The Zope service WebSite on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts Service." The only option the window gave was to click 'OK.' I clicked 'OK' and changed the startup type to Manual. After clicking 'Start' the same thing happened. I changed the startup type back to Automatic. I then opened a command line and typed in the following: netstat -an and found nothing on port 8080, 8021, or 8090. I think that's because Zope wasn't started, but I'm no wiz at this. Then I ran start.bat and let it sit for twenty minutes hoping some of the advice about windows taking a long time to start Zope would prove pertinent to my situation. It didn't change from my previous screenshot (http://lunamanium.com/startbat.gif) The questions I have now are: a. Can I force Zope into doing some work so windowsXP doesn't stop it automatically? If so, how? b. Would changing the port Zope is supposed to run on help at all? c. Would upgrading help? My boss told me about the page template feature and it sounds very intriguing so I may upgrade anyway. d. Is there hope for me and Zope? Thank you all very much for your kindness and your assistance.
