Which has it's own risks of course. However much I trust Greg Stein and his code, if there is a security hole in ViewCVS that can be exploited this way, you are toast. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@zope.com | Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ ---------------------------------------------

TinyTablePlus bug: key non-string columns not shown with '*'
by J M Cerqueira Esteves 11 Jan '02

11 Jan '02

Using the TinyTablePlus properties editor, I noticed that whenever I specified a key column which had a non-string type, for instance with vol_id*:int .... (adding the '*' after the name) and submitted this, the column spec would come back as vol_id:int .... as if vol_id had not been turned into a key column. This is due to a bug in method cols_text (), which is called by Edit.dtml to show the column spec. cols_text () was never recognizing such explicitly typed columns as keys because it was searching their names in the key columns list AFTER appending the ":type" suffix. This is solved by a simple patch to TinyTablePlus.py: --- TinyTablePlus.py~ Thu Apr 13 16:30:00 2000 +++ TinyTablePlus.py Fri Jan 11 14:03:01 2002 @@ -516,10 +516,10 @@ for i in range(0, self.n_cols): # Modified by SDH for key_cols. - name = self._col_names[i] + TypeNames[self._types[i]] + name = self._col_names[i] if hasattr(self, '_key_cols') and name in self._key_cols: name = name + '*' - l.append(name) + l.append(name + TypeNames[self._types[i]]) return string.join(l, ' ')

Re: [Zope] Changing ownership...

I've seen your message too. >This bug prevents changeOwnership to do anything if you already own >the object on which you apply it. Thanks for your reply, but as I've seen on your previous messages, this bug occurs only when the new owner owns something on the folder where the changeOwnership is supposed to be applied. Since the folders and the objects inside them have always the same owner, there is no reason for this bug to occur. In fact, the ownership is changed, but I cannot reindex the object because I get that strange error message I've previously described.

Flash from user session
by Milos Prudek 11 Jan '02

11 Jan '02

The following is slightly offtopic... www.zope.com contains some very nice Flash demonstrations of CMF that were probably made with a software that can capture user actions in Windows and save them to a .swf file. What kind of software can do this sort of thing? -- Milos Prudek

calendar
by Nagy Gabor 11 Jan '02

11 Jan '02

I'd like to have a company-wide calendar thing, like the one that Outlook and Exchange gives you. Free times, meetings, recurring events, such things. I think that maybe cmf does something like that, but whenever I try to access cmf.zope.org/calendar/calendar I get a page with DTML exception inspector. I don't have cmf installed now, but if you say so I will install it. Or you can recommend some other product. Regards Gee

Hi! Please continue to reply to the list, so all readers benefit. On Thu, Jan 10, 2002 at 11:17:36PM -0500, Trevor Toenjes wrote: > thanks.

There is DTML Magic, but it is easy to understand. > Is it better syntax to use <dtml-var expr="xxx()"> instead of <dtml-var xxx> > for consistency? No. DTML Magic does more than that. <dtml-var xxx> (where xxx is a DTML object) is equivalent of <dtml-var "xxx(_.None, _)">. What is simpler to read and write?

I want to provide the visitor on my website a form like that: email: __________ | sendbutton to subscribe to a newsletter (exactly: to fetch the email address from the visitor and to write it into a single file) the newsletter will be manually generated. How can i do that exactly? Do i need a dtml-method for fetching the email address? How do i append the address to a file in the same zope-directory? -- thx in advance, Stefan Antoni ---------------------------- Mit Jan 9 18:39:19 EST 2002
