authenticating over XML-RPC to implement the Blogger API
by Nathan Sain 04 Feb '02

04 Feb '02

Hello Everyone, I've got a problem and was wondering if anyone on this list my have some insight as to howto solve it. I want to implement a the Blogger XML-RPC API to allow users to add content toa Zope site (the API is here http://plant.blogger.com/api/index.html) It requires that theusername and password be sent as parameters in each function call. is it possible to hookinto Zopes authentication scheme via a external method or python script? I've also noticedthat it could be possible to grab the username and password from the XML-RPC call whenZPublisher calls request.processInputs(), but I don't know how Zope authenticates the userthis may be to late in the process to try and fudge with the request object. Has anyone elsedone user authentication via parameters? Any help would be appreciated -- Nathan Sain

This is a legal PT: <p tal:content="string:hello"/> However, that's not necessarily a good idea, because it can lead you away from one of the principal benefits of PTs, which is to separate presentation from content and keep all the presentation stuff together in one page that will make sense to a designer. So in the example above, I think you're much better off calling a python script that just returns "hello", and have your main template put it inside a <p> element. For re-using pieces of presentation logic, use macros ("metal"), a bit trickier than basic "tal" but very worthwhile. -- Wade Leftwich Ithaca, NY

Congratulations and Thanks! Three things: 1- in details.dtml you forgot to put a "</table>" tag after the "in results mapping" loop. 2-The other one is in results.dtml in the "in summary mapping" the first url must have "results" before the "?tid=23232". 3-with zope 2.3.2 and python 1.5.2 we get: 2002-02-01T05:02:09 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't import Products.CallProfiler Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 528, in import_products (Object: string) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/Products/CallProfiler/__init__.py, line 30, in ?

As I understand things, right now my data is located in the 'var' file of the zope executable folder by default. How do I relocate this?

no password
by marcelo 03 Feb '02

03 Feb '02

Sorry if this question was already answered before but I couldn't find it. I just downloaded Zope 2.5.0 and installed in my computer. I created a user and a password during the installation process. When I access Zope for the first time it simply doesn't accept the password I have just created. I tried to reinstall but the same thing happens. I read in the site that you can change it using the password script but I know nothing about Python. So if anyone could help me. Thanks, Marcelo

M$ Webfolder in Win2K & Zope WebDAV
by Chris Withers 03 Feb '02

03 Feb '02

Hi, Has anyone successfully used M$ Webfolder in Windows 2000 to get WebDAV access to Zope? I got to "My Network Places" -> "Add Network Place" and whatever I put in the box that shows, I get: "The folder you entered does nto appear to be valid. Please choose another." I've tried doing this into Shane's TCPWatch and there's no HTTP request actually going out from M$, so, dos anyone know what I put in that box to tickle M$'s in the right way to get it to actually do something? cheers, Chris

Newbies & variables
by Gary Learned 03 Feb '02

03 Feb '02

In working thru the examples in the Zope Web Applications book, it is demonstrating the use of python scripts. I have the following code elements: myhome.html: <dtml-let page_body="'myhome.stx'"> <dtml-var standard_dtml_wrapper> </dtml-let> standard_dtml_wrapper: <html> <head> <title><dtml-var title_or_id></title> </head> <body> <dtml-var banner> <dtml-call choose_page_body> </body> </html> And finally, choose_page_body (type script) from Products.PythonScripts.standard import special_formats if page_body : if page_body[-4] == ".stx" : return special_formats['structured-text'](_[page_body]) else : return _[page_body] else : return default_page In thiscase, I also bound namespace=_ My problem is that when trying to view this, I get an error on page_body indicating that the python script knows nothing about it. Since this is all originating from within the <dtml-let> block, I thought it would carry thru. Since it isn't, how do I fix this?

Re: [Zope] Zope 2.5 upgrade help!
by Gilles 03 Feb '02

03 Feb '02

Yes they are on the same port. BUT I don't want to run both instances at the same time. I just want to run the new OR the old one. The problem is that: 1) from the windows service control panel, stating the 2.5 service give a error: 'Could not start service Zope blabla..) BUT it start zope correctly, just this service status info stay empty. Consequence: from the same control panel I can not stop the service. 2) when I connect to localhost:8080/manage and restart zope, it does not restart. Except thoses start/stop problems everithing is ok. Note: I can start zope 2.5 from a command line, it's ok. But when I connect to localhost:8080/manage ->control panel, there is no restart button. But I think it's normal, probably some not detached from terminal or daemon stuff...

Newbie Questions
by Gary Learned 03 Feb '02

03 Feb '02

Ok, I've just read the New Riders Zope Web Application Development & Content Management book, and I've got some questions I hope some kind soul out there will help me with. From what I can see, Zope is just what I've been wishing for. I only hope I have enough brain cells left to learn these 'new tricks'. 1. I have Zope installed in a Windows XP environment. Is it possible to move the data.fs file to a location other than the program executable 'var' directory. Our executables are under a different backup schedule than data files. My other option would be to move the entire zope directory over to a data drive. 2. In the book, it mentions that Zope Templates have to be total and complete html documents. If I want to create separate items like banners and navbars that will get sucked into all pages, I assume that means they have to be methods that are somehow included into a template? In other words, you can't have a portion of a page defined as a template as I understand this. 3. The book talks about creating a zope on a particular port. Does this mean that I have multiple zope services running, or is it possible to have a single service monitor multiple ports? 4. In the application case study, the book said that experience has shown that it's best to have a folder at the root before the top level folder of your site, as follows: / (root) Top/ Top Level Folder SiteRoot/ (Actual Site Root Folder) Can someone explain the value of that one additional folder layer? I'm not seeing it yet and I'm pretty sure it's just because I am missing something.
