What you need is this: Firewall with port forwarding Zope with a vhm You may want: Apache - some claim it is more robust at serving web pages than zopes http server Without Apache: Setup your firewall to forward IP 206.129.200.138, port 80 to 192.168.1.20, port whatever your zope server is running on - 8080 by default. You can override this in z2.py. No need for zope to know anything about your external IP. Install a vhm from the enhanced site access product, v. 2, into the root of your install. Within the vhm, click on the Edit tab, and read the example docs to setup the vhm. It's a really simple, two field form to fill out. The first field is your URL, www.plecouncil.org, the second is the path, /PLE. Thanks it!

question on setting PropertySheet value from External Method
by Tim Lynch 14 Dec '01

14 Dec '01

Hi, I'm having trouble setting a property of a ZClass propertysheet from an external method. I can successfully create an instance of the ZClass and from a DTML document set the properties, but I can't seem to get the syntax right for doing it from the external method. Could someone give me some advice? Here are the relevant lines from my external method that successfully creates the ZClass instance: recordID = "7893" t = "A new title" self.resources.manage_addProduct['agnicCatalog'].resourceClass.createInObjectManager(recordID, self.REQUEST) I have a folder called 'resources' that I want to hold all instances of the class 'resourceClass'. The above line works fine to create the instance. But, when I try to change the Title property with: self.resources[recordID].propertysheets['Basic'].manage_changeProperties(Title = t) I get TypeError -- sequence index must be integer I've tried a bunch of variations with recordID, but nothing seems to work. Can someone set me straight?

WebDAV and ObjectManager
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 14 Dec '01

14 Dec '01

Is there a way to override an ObjectManager derived class as to not even show up (or, at the very least, not output its contents) in a WebDAV or FTP session? I have a BTreeFolder-derived object with 300,000+ objects; I don't even want to think what might happen if someone tried to open this via WebDAV...

emergency user
by Shilpa Shenvi 14 Dec '01

14 Dec '01

Hi, I am running Zope on Windows 95. If zpasswd.py is invoked with just the name of the file to modify (i.e access), it will prompt you for a user name and password and the way the password should be encrypted. However, I was unable to actually log into my site when I created the emergency user that way. However, if I invoked zpasswd.py and passed username and password on the command line (along with the file to modify), I was actually able to get in. Thought I would pass this along in case any one else ran into a similar problem. Shilpa

Viewing objects in sub-folders
by Stephen Schneider 14 Dec '01

14 Dec '01

Hi all, I am new to Zope. I have been working with it for my company and getting a web site together. So far I'm liking it more than I thought. I have started getting into using dtml and have hit a wall. Let me describe. I have a folder that has 3 sub folders. I created 3 zclasses/products. Users add new objects into these 3 folders, the objects being one of the 3 products created. Now I have a dtml method that will list the objects in the folder with the properties that were set. I can go to any of the 3 folders and view the dtml method to see the objects there. But what I need is this. I have an index_html in the main folder containing these 3 folders. This index_html needs to use the dtml method for displaying from each folder. So on the index_html the objects and properties from all 3 sub folders would be displayed in a columnar format. What do I use/do on the index_html to use or display the objects in a sub-folder? Make sense? I hope so. I would appreciate any help or guidance to get going on this.

Errro instantiating new Zclasses

14 Dec '01

I am a zope newbie, and I'm having trouble instanting a Zclass. The Zclass is named "test3b", and it is the example out of the zopebook. The add form is displayed, but when I call createInObjectManager I get this error: Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. NameError Sorry, a site error occurred.

I have since completely uninstalled and re-installed zope, with no effect. Any info would be appreciated. -Jim Oliver

Page Templates and dtml
by Sam Collett 14 Dec '01

14 Dec '01

Which of these are easier to use? I have the following in a template: <html metal:define-macro="master"> <head> <title tal:content="template/title">The title</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/NewPCT/css/default.css" type="text/css"> </head> <body> <img src="&dtml-var BASE2;/images/logo" width="420" height="60" align="right" alt="Logo"> <div metal:define-slot="main"> The contents </div> </body> </html> What I want is img src="/directory/images/logo" where the /directory part may change or become blank It work when the document is a dtml document, but how do you get it to work using a page template. I have looked at the Automatic navigation example, but am not sure how to get it to work with my template. The automatic navigation would also have to exclude some directories - e.g. style, images
