RE: [Zope] grabbing external content

Someone sent this type thing a while back but can't remember who. Create an external method and put this into it: def getPage(url): import urllib return urllib.urlopen(url).read() The just call it like: <dtml-var "getPage('http://www.yahoo.com/weather')"> Works like a champ for us!

Reset security?
by Dave Lehman 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

OK, here's a newbie question if there ever was one: I think I inadvertantly locked myself out of one of the folders of my website-- that is, I somehow don't seem to have the ability to view the ZMI management screens for a certain folder (and all subfolders) and more. I can get into the ZMI for all other folders, just this particular one has a problem. Is there any way to get myself ZMI rights for this folder again, or do I have to blow away the whole directory and recreate it? --dave

WebDAV: word opening htm-docs readonly
by Joachim Schmitz 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Hi, the story continues. I had the chance to log the dav-comminication between a word-client and IIS-server, where the readonly-problem does not occur. By looking at that log I see one major difference: When requesting the LOCK the IIS answers with: HTTP/1.1 201 Erstellt Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 but Zope answers: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Zope/(Zope 2.4.3 perhaps that's the problem.

Editing ZClasses - Hole in Documentation
by Ronald L. Chichester 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Okay, I just want to point out a "hole" in the documentation that is consistent among the various "HOWTO's" and other documentation, such as mukhsein's "Build a searchable Job Board." They all provide a way to create and add objects, but don't go that last mile and provide any guidance on who to _edit_ the properties in a ZClass. The problem with ZClasses is that the properties have to be accessed through the propertysheets. That creates an extra hrutle for the developer in creating a _complete_ system (which, of course, includes the ability to edit what was created). Some of us have products we would like to roll out that require that users (including managers, owners, and yes, sometimes even anonymous (if your organization can handle that)) to edit the ZClass instance once it has been instantiated. I'm still hunting for either documentation or an example that has this capability. In a few instances, I have seen people say it is "trivial." It may be, once you find out how. Unfortunately, there is still some smoke and mirrors here. The solution isn't obvious to the casual developer. If someone can prove me wrong, I would be thrilled to know about it. Best, Ron

RE: [Zope] Connecting to MS SQL Server
by Pieter Claerhout 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

I think you overlooked the fact that we are talking about Microsoft SQL Server and not about MySQL. For MS SQL Server, I think you have two options: - ZODBCDA and an ODBC driver for MS SQL on your linux box - ZSybaseDA: should work as well, but I'm not sure which versions are compatible with each other and which are not. Both SQL server and Sybase use and understand FreeDTS. In Zope itself, once you have the right database adapter, you can use ZSQL methods and so on as Chris described below. Here are some handy links: http://www.zope.org/Products/DA/SybaseDA/ http://www.zope.org/Products/DA/ZODBCDA/ http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/RelationalDatabases.dtml Good luck...
