RE: Is Structured Text Broken in Zope 2.4x ???
by Steve Bain 11 Nov '01

11 Nov '01

Chris McDonough: Thanks for your courteous reply, and the links to definitive rules for ClassicStructuredText and StructuredTextNG. On zope.org, the available documentation on Structured Text for aspiring Zopers is a bit confusing, because it is often not clear what is definitive, what is is a proposal, what is ClassicStructuredText, what is StructuredTextNG, what is StructuredText Zwiki, and what may be just a member's opinion. It is also not clear as to which version of Structured Text is supported in which release of Zope. To document the spacing problem in STXNG bulleted outlines, I offer a specific example for the benefit of other readers: In Zope 2.4.1, the following structured text: - Red - Green - Blue - First - Second - Third - Freshman - Junior - Senior outputs to browser-rendered html that looks much like this in MS IE v5.50: o Red o Green o Blue o First o Second o Third o Freshman o Junior o Senior This spacing problem is the result of an unfortunate and non-XHTML compliant nesting of generated tags in the html output. Also, thank you for clarifying the issue of tables in StructuredTextNG. The rules are indeed very different from those that were implemented in some versions of ClassicStructuredText and Zwiki StructuredText. I note that the following StructuredTextNG source does render as an HTML table in Zope 2.41: |---------------------------------------| | Quan | Part # | Price | |=======================================| | 15 | DYST-100D | $2195.00 | |---------------------------------------| | 32 | IPO-337Z | $95.00 | |---------------------------------------| | 67 | ATA-456Q | $395.00 | |---------------------------------------| | 133 | TGT-375RST | $20.00 | |---------------------------------------| However, while the resulting html is formatted well enough to render as a properly-sized table in MS IE, the first column of the table does not render correctly. Of course, the whole issue of tables in Structured Text is probably not critical for the vast majority of applications. (HTML is plenty fine if one needs the next step up in formatting flexibility!) I will begin work on bug reports, patches, and possibly some enhancements for StructuredTextNG. Any help and hints will be gratefully accepted. Of primary interest is correcting the killer bug that appears in the structured-text method in Products.PythonScripts.standard in Zope 2.4.x. Correcting that bug appears to be the most elegant way to support StructuredText-formatted topics on ZPT-formatted pages.

Using python libraries
by Jesper Holmberg 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

Hi all, I'm trying to create a new product. In my python code, I use some libraries (e.g. xml.dom.minidom) that are not present in my Zope installation. Where do I put these libraries so that they be available for python code run under Zope? Sorry if the question is a FAQ, but I haven't been able to find this in the docs. TIA Jesper -- Jesper Holmberg |"But how can | jesper.holmberg(a)enst-bretagne.fr | one be warm | ENST Br, BP 832, 29285 Brest, FRANCE | alone?" |

[zwiki] wikimail, bug reporting practices ?
by Simon Michael 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

I'd like to solicit thoughts and opinions on two things: First, using ZWikiDiscussion vs using all pages ? Not many of you are subscribed to the whole wiki but it's kind of cool. You see everything. Say Geoff posts an interesting comment to WikiAcquisition. Now, I can just send an email reply back and it gets archived on WikiAcquisition. Or, I can change the subject so that my reply goes back to the generic ZWikiDiscussion page, which is where most of us are subscribed. When is it best to do one vs. the other ? It's good to have one central place where people can follow all discussion. I'm thinking that place should be "the whole wiki" rather than a single page. You do want a default page to catch general thread-mode discussion, which is how I see ZWikiDiscussion's role. Second: simple wiki-based means (eg ZWikiProblems) vs a more structured bug tracking system (eg sourceforge) for reporting, managing and reviewing zwiki problems ? Thanks for any ideas, feedback, etc. Just to liven things up I'm cc'ing the zope list. Reply where you will. :) -Simon

Zwiki privileges
by Trevor Toenjes 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

I installed Zwiki today and loaded 20 zwiki pages, but cannot figure out how-to... 1. give "anonymous" rights to "add comments" 2. restrict rights to "edit this page" "Change ZWiki Pages" in Security gives access to do both. This might not be the best place to post Zwiki Q's, but zwiki.org content looks like my desk with papers scattered everywhere. I cant find a zwiki mail list or any how-tos. Please scoot me in the right direction. TIA, -Trevor

Accessing ZWiki pages via ftp / permissions
by Oliver Sturm 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

Hi! I hope this is not too dumb... I'm stuck with a rather weird problem. I have a ZWikiWeb at "/projects/abc". Security settings for / are set so that only authenticated users can view stuff there (Manager has all permissions, Anonymous has none, Authenticated has "Access content information" and "View"). There's also a role "ftpusers" that has "FTP access". There's another role "abc" that has no special rights. Security settings for /projects/abc do the following: - The "Access contents information" permission is not acquired, but set only for roles "Manager" and "abc". The same for the "View" permission. - The role "abc" has all the ZWiki related permissions, which are also acquired (though this should make no difference). Now, all of this works fine. I can use the abc role to work with the ZWikiWeb, add, change, everything. BUT: I want to access ZWiki pages in the web via ftp. Using a user with the "abc" and the "ftpusers" roles, I can access all DTML documents and DTML methods in /projects/abc. But I can't even read any of the ZWiki page type objects in the ZWikiWeb, because I get 503 unauthorized folders. I checked and saw that there are no special permissions on any of the ZWiki pages. For a test, I granted the ftpusers role every permission available on the / level, to no avail. I fail to see what else I could allow the user to do, that he can't do yet. Can someone explain the logic of this to me? Is there some place to look (a log file or something), where I can see what is the exact source of this problem? Any help appreciated! BTW, before I started securing the site by taking permissions away from "Anonymous", ftp access to ZWiki pages used to work, so I'm sure there must be a way!

upgrade 2.3.2 to 2.4.1: import zwiki
by John Hunter 10 Nov '01

10 Nov '01

I just installed Zope-2.4.1 in a new dir and still have my Zope-2.3.2 in the old dir. I exported my Wiki dirs from 2.3.2 and imported them into 2.4.1. The data has come through fine. I am a little bit confused about how to use Zwiki in 2.4.1. Simon's log on zwiki.org says that it has been incorporated into the main zope product, and indeed I see StructuredText/Zwiki.py in the 2.4.1 distro, but I do not it in the products dir. Do I need to install the Zwiki product or is the StructuredText/Zwiki.py file enough? When I try and load one of my zwiki pages, I get the error: This object is broken because the ZWiki product that created it is no longer installed or is installed incorrectly. Please contact the product maintainer for assistance. Note that the data associated with this product has not been lost, and will be accessible again if the product is reinstalled. Can someone point me to some docs or otherwise provide some advice about what I should do next? Thanks, John Hunter
