Obscure security?
by Ragnar Beer 23 Nov '01

23 Nov '01

Howdy! I spent some time searching the documentation for an explanation of the "Access_contents_information" permission but didn't find anything. I think this is vital information for any Zope admin and should be easy to find. How can I set up permissions when I can't find out exactly what permissions I'm actually granting? I'm (once again) in the situation where an authenticated user cannot access an object unless the "Anonymous" role is given the permission to "Access_contents_information" (the role of the authenticated user has that permission). This reminds me of the old non-root Squisdot bug, but I can't solve it by upgrading Zope this time, because I already installed 2.4.3. On the other hand I can't find out what kind of holes I'm opening by giving this permission to "Anonymous". What can I do? Ragnar

Raymond, Look at the (online) Zope book. Chapter 10 is wat you need. http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/ You don't have to read all of the chapters before 10, chapter 10 is starting in a very basic tempo. However, you'll need to invest some time to study the other chapters if you want to make more of your application.

How to submit a patch
by Gregory Dudek 22 Nov '01

22 Nov '01

Hi. I am fairly new to zope (and python) and have a question regarding how patches to products are maintained. In particular, is there are preferred protocol for submitting a patch to products where the original author is not available? For example, i applied fixed to a couple of products (KebasData and RoboCage). I tried mailing the RoboCage author but didn't get a reply back (after 2 weeks). Now I can either forget it, post a new Product derived from the old, post a stand-alone patch/diff, or a number of other options. (RoboCage generates random text to fool/disrupt email-scraping robots -- very simple but sufficient. [You know, those web robots that automatically search for email addresses to provide to spammers.] See it in action at <http://abatonix.dyn.dhs.org/about> ). What do zopistas usually do? Is there an approved protocol? Greg

Line Wrap and the Zope Community?
by Ron 22 Nov '01

22 Nov '01

Does Zope hard code carriage returns? I'm new to Zope. I'm following a zillion links to Zope community pages, doc's, HOWTO's, etc. and finding on many pages I either have to scroll horizontally or increase the horizontal size of my browser (Galeon, though I've loaded a few pages in Netscape 4.7 with the same results) to view all the text. Is this a limitation of Zope, an error imposed by the page designers, a design flaw in my browser OR WHAT? I mean... it's almost 2002 and something this simple and basic is still an issue? Please, someone tell me about a browser setting I've failed to notice since... (whew, caught myself in time and deleted the rest of this rant...) Thank you for any help or enlightenment to this irritation. -Ron

So here is a short answer, how I did it - this tip came originally from Dieter as well, if I remember right: <dtml-if "myDoc.hasattr(aq_explicit,'attribute_name')"> myDoc itself has an attribute 'attribute_name' - it is not acquired. </dtml-if> Hope it helped. -- Lars Heber, mailto:Lars.Heber@t-systems.de T-Systems, debis Systemhaus GEI GmbH, Geschaeftsstelle Sachsen

import / export between versions
by sanket j deshmukh 22 Nov '01

22 Nov '01

Hello friends, please help me. I have Zope 2.3.3 on my localhost and zope 2.4.0 is installed on my companys server. Now if i try to export files from my localhost(zope2.3.3) onto server (zope2.4.0) it doesn't work. i guess because of difference in version. Is there any solution to this problem besides upgrading to zope 2.4.0 ?? Thanks.

There are a number of references to the "searchable-object interface specification." Such as in Appendix B of the Zope Book. Does this specification exist anywhere?
