Installing a ZCatalog inside a product?
by Matthew Anderson 10 Oct '01

10 Oct '01

Hi, I have a product that I would like to add a search facility to and I could use a little help... The product contains a number of nested ZClasses: --ZClass A (main 'container' ZClass) --ZClass B ('message' class) --ZClass C ('reply' class) Each ZClass has been assigned a CatalogAwareBase. In order to add a search facility where should the ZCatalog be installed? Inside the product or alongside an instance of the product. I would prefer to install inside the product so that it is self contained and self updating for each instance. Is this possible?

The paramenters come in the mime-body > as > name1=value > name2=value And how should Zope figure that out ;) Do you know any server that does enything reasonable with the encoding you posted ? To make Zope server believe that content-type text/plain means the encoding you described you can probably hack lib/python/ZPublisher/Client.py around lines 180-200 to accept extra encodings in addition to standard encodings multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded. I think you're right. This format seems to be used for e-mails (RFC2646). I'll try to add this mime-type to the decoding module. But it seems more to be in cgi.py because this module checks the content-type. Armin

Re: [Zope] how can I ask an object whether it is folderish?

Might be better to unwrap the object first before > checking. heh, opportunity to spout out my deep zope knowledge ;-) hasattr(object, string) The arguments are an object and a string. The result is 1 if the string is the name of one of the object's attributes, 0 if not. (This is implemented by calling getattr(object, name) and seeing whether it raises an exception or not.)

POST with Content-Type : text/plain fails
by Krone, Armin 10 Oct '01

10 Oct '01

Hello everybody, I want to connect a external server to Zope. This server talks t Zope via simple http-requests. The connection fails at Zope if I use the 'Content-Type: text/plain' from my external server. The identical connection with 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' is successful. example 1: - Open Socket-Connection to localhost:8080 'POST /GetOrderInfo HTTP/1.0 Content-Type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 17 Cache-Control: no-cache TransactionID=123' -> Works fine, calls GetOrderInfo at Zope and returns the results example 2: - Open Socket-Connection to localhost:8080 'POST /GetOrderInfo HTTP/1.0 Content-Type : text/plain Content-Length: 17 Cache-Control: no-cache TransactionID=123' -> 'HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request Server: Zope/(Zope 2.4.1 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), python 2.1.0, win32) ZServer/1.1b1 Date: Fri, 05 Oct 2001 14:13:03 GMT Bobo-Exception-File: C:\5CPROGRA~1\5CTelecash\5Clib\5Cpython\5CPublisher\5CHTTPResponse.py Content-Type: text/html Bobo-Exception-Type: Bad Request Connection: close Bobo-Exception-Value: bobo exception Content-Lenght: 1972 Bobo-Exception-Line: 562 (* some HTML-Code *) ... <P><STRONG>Invalid request</STRONG></P> The parameter, <em>TransactionID</em>, was omitted from the request. <p>Make sure th specify all required parameters ... The pain is, that I can't change the 'content-Type' within my external server. What can I do with Zope that it accepts HTML-Requests with 'Content-Type : text/plain? Best Regards Armin Krone Telecash GmbH

Setting default permissions from Python code
by Janne Pietarila 10 Oct '01

10 Oct '01

We are currently developing a learning environment by making our own Zope product. The product has several courses and different users have different Zope roles on each course (tutor, student, expert). That is, a user X may have a role 'student' on course C1, but only role 'tutor' on course C2. We implemented security as described in Zope Developer's Guide (http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZDG/Security.dtml) however, when we use setPermissionDefault() for class ClassSecurityInfo, there are no any visible changes in manage_access interface. It looks like default permissions set in Python code don't affect Zope at all. We checked how permissions are handled in the CMF (Content Management Framework) product. Here is a code snippet from setupPermissions(): <-- cut <--- def setupPermissions(self, p): # Set up some suggested role to permission mappings. mp = p.manage_permission mp('Set own password', ['Member','Manager',], 1) mp('Set own properties', ['Member','Manager',], 1) mp('Add portal content', ['Owner','Member','Manager',], 1) ...etc.. ---> cut ---> So we added some manage_permission() calls to our own code after which everything worked just like we want. Is this currently the only way to manage default permissions? From (http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZDG/Security.dtml you get an impression that you should only use setPermissionDefault(). -- Ilkka Kekkonen ilkka.kekkonen(a)uiah.fi Janne Pietarila janne.pietarila(a)uiah.fi

How do I install Products in Zope on Win2K
by Gordon Holtslander 10 Oct '01

10 Oct '01

My apologies if this is the second copy of this arriving. My mail blew up just as I was sending it the first time. My problem. I've installed Zope ver 2.4.1 on Windows 2000 pro. It runs fine, but I want to try out the CMF. I've followed the instructions I think. It's hard to tell because all the instructions seem to assume its on a Linux type box. The instructions say: -Unpack the tarball into a working directory. For instance: $ cd /usr/local/zope $ tar xzf /tmp/CMF-1.1.tar.gz So, I downloaded the tarball and unzipped it into c:\temp Next I'm supposed to: -Link (or copy/move) the CMF packages into $INSTANCE_HOME/Products. For instance: $ cd /var/zope/Products $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.1/CMF* . So, using Windows Explorer, I moved the CMF-1.1 directory to C:\Program Files\Zope\lib\python\Products\ This is where all the products that show up in the Zope Products directory seem to be. Then I go to the Zope Control Panel and hit the Shutdown button, close my browser, restart Zope using start.bat and according to the instructions: -Restart Zope; verify that the CMF products loaded property, by examining them in Control_Panel/Product. -Create a CMF Site object. join, and begin adding content. Enjoy! Except that the CMF products don't show up in Products and I don't have a CMF site object option. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it is REALLY frustrating! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Talk to you soon, Gord Gordon W.
