I have a 2 zwiki sites with site2 as a child of site1 I do this to inherit the look and feel of site1. Now site2 does not contain standard_wiki_header etc. Instead it inherits this from site1. This is good - and works. Infortunately this standard_wiki_header calls a python script object at the same level as itself (ie site1) Now briefly, site2 continued to work calling this method. I then played around with security settings to not allow annonymous access to either site, and also added extra users and roles to create greater security for site2. At this point site2 could not access the python script as before - even when logged on as superuser will all permisions.

Calling a DTML Method from within an External Method

Is there a way, inside an external method, to *call* a DTML Method -- that is, to execute it? If so, how would I pass arguments to the DTML Method? Thanks...

Newbie Design Issue
by Jeremy Lowery 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

I've just got involved with Zope, but I'm fairly versued in traditional web development, and python. I'm currently working on an app that tracks seting up computers based on a "check list" type deal, and who was responsible for it. If this were just a static "check list" of things that had to be done, this would be easy, but it needs the facilities to allow users to make new check lists, edit them, and destroy them. Since I'm not an old pro at Zope, I figured that I would just use some ZClasses to represent these things. My question is, what would be the easiest (as far as time, and need of indepth knowledge of Zope) way to do this? The ideas I have are...to let users enter in Check List items and then dynamically generate Zope Objects that represent each check list...Or another way would be to have Zope objects for all the check list items, and the check lists, and then more objects for the actual data stored in the check lists (Like who installed this piece of software, and what is the Computer's Service and Serial numbers.) As I said, the main purpose of this post is to get design ideas. Origionally, I had set this up in a RDBMS but that would cause too much overhead.

how to import lots of files?

Hi, I'm running Zope 2.4.1 on Linux, and I'm trying to create a file repository. Is there any way to upload an entire directory of files instead of selecting them one by one? Thanks, -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...

RE: [Zope] Publishing bookmarks with XBEL from Zope
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

Consider posting this question to the zope-xml list, and you might get some more responses and ideas. I'm not familiar with XBEL, but this should be reasonable to do with not a lot of work. You would want to use ParsedXML, which supports standard DOM calls, like: dom = context['MyXMLDocumentId'] items = dom.getElementsByTagName('bookmark') for bookmarknode in items: text = '' for childnode in bookmarknode.childNodes: if childnode.nodeType == 3: #if nodetype is text, append to text text = text+childnode.nodeValue context.doSomethingWith(text) #where doSomethingWith is a method in the #acquisition path of this script's context For a simple XML schema, simple DOM traversals of your bookmarks should be able to read them in using ParsedXML, which will store a document; you could use the upload functionality of ParsedXML to upload someone's bookmarks, and use TTW python scripts to read each entry, and another ttw python script or dtml method to loop through all of them... It should be reasonable to do this...

Problem of accessing nested ZClass by FTP
by iap＠y2fun.com 24 Nov '01

24 Nov '01

Hi, I have a ZClass-based product, say ZClassTest. There is a ZClass named "ZClass1" in that product folder. There is another ZClass named "ZClass2" within the ZClass1. i.e. ZClass2 is a method of ZClass1. The problem is that I can access the content of ZClass2 by WebDAV. But failed to access the same content by FTP. The error message says that there is not such file or directory. that is : ftp://host/Control_Panel/Products/ZClassTest/ZClass1/propertysheets/methods/ZClass2 is fine.( return a list with "propertyshees/methods") but ftp://host/Control_Panel/Products/ZClassTest/ZClass1/propertysheets/methods/ZClass2/propertysheets/methods is broken. ( error 505) I noticed that actually the zope responses an extra space behind "ZClass2", that is ftp://host/Control_Panel/Products/ZClassTest/ZClass1/propertysheets/methods/ZClass2 /propertysheets/methods I hacked the zope code () and strip that extra space off. But the trouble is still there. Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Iap, Singuan

General question about ZClasses
by Lars Heber 24 Nov '01

24 Nov '01

OK, folks, as I wrote some minutes ago, I'm about of building my own management screens for some ZClasses. What I actually want to do is: I want to emulate some kind of book. The chapters are folders, each chapter consists of several paragraphs, each a DTML document, which are puzzled together on demand. I have written an edit method for the chapter, from which you can edit each single paragraph by using the standard manage_main of the DTML document. What I want to do is to enable users to manage each chapter, i. e. copy, paste, rename, add, ... But users should not be allowed to manage the DTML documents directly. I didn't find a possibility to blind out the DTML documents from the standard folder management screen. Restricting permissions to forbid editing and managing DTML documents failed, because I want to edit and manage them from my own editing method, which only redirects to the correct document management screen provided by Zope. Thus also proxy roles don't work That's why I started to write my own management screen on which you can only manage folders which actually are the chapters. Perhaps this is the completely wrong way of doing things. So, can somebody direct me to the right path? Otherwise, I have the following problem: Of course, I also want to add new folders / chapters. But I don't want to hard code the URL to the corresponding factory. Can I somehow find out the URL of that factory dynamically? I want this because I'm afraid that when I want to rename my product, or use that ZClass in another product again, or even distribute the product, the paths with static URLs are broken. Any hints? P.S.: Sorry for that long posting... P.P.S.: I'm still looking for an extensive Zope object reference which is better / more documented (examples?) than ZQR and API Reference. Also a good book would be fine. If someone could give me some link, I would be very grateful! -- Lars Heber, mailto:Lars.Heber@t-systems.de T-Systems, debis Systemhaus GEI GmbH, Geschaeftsstelle Sachsen
