CMF Newbie Question
by Stephan Goeldi 28 Sep '01

28 Sep '01

What are the simple steps, to publish content in CMF? When I create a Topic, Folder or Document (doesn't matter) and publish it, it is not viewable for anonymous on the top level. Adding a News item and publishing it does work. Where do I have to add code, so that existing and published folders are seen? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

We have the responsibility to honor the rules and regulations of any information service that we connect to. 2.Freedom to Listen. Adults have the right to connect to any publically released information service. We are responsibile for how we use that information. 3.Copyright Use. When we purchase a copyrighted work, we are free to copy it to any medium and enjoy it from that medium, for our own personal use. We have the right to transfer our rights in a particular work, to another individual, but then we loose our rights to that work. We have the responsibility to ensure that the copyright work we purchased is not otherwise distributed. 4.Secure Communications. We have the right to secure and private information channels. We have the responsibility to not abuse those information channel. Unsolicited commercial email, pop up adds, and denial of service attacks are some of the existing abuses. 5.Privacy.

After our approval is given, we are free to withdraw it at any time. We have the responsibility to respect the privacy of other peoples information. 6.Weapons of Mass Destruction.

That search warrent needs to be approved in the same geopolitical location where the information is stored or where one end of the communications channel exists. 9.Interruption of service. Our rights to connect to a service can only be forfeit with a judicial judgement by a court with authority in the location of the service. Such a judgement may only be made for violating the terms and conditions of the service provider, or for irresponsibly using that information to commit a crime, but under no circumstances for just accessing that information. 10.Shared Enforcement. Everyone who is covered by this bill of rights has the responsibility to use their sphere of control to ensure that these rights and responsibilities are followed. Copyright © 1998-2001 by BPG.

Login by webform/session variables?
by miah34＠msn.com 28 Sep '01

28 Sep '01

Hi all. I want to apologize up front because I have seen a lot of previous questions about logging in using LoginManager, CookieCrumbler, etc., but I'm not sure if they do what I need and I don't really understand some of what I read. It seems to me that a user can log on by a form and be authenticated by LoginManager, for example. But that only gives them a role (I believe), let's say authorized_user. But, what I need is a way to remember WHO they are, not just what role they have. I'm very new to both Zope and web design in general, so any help would be appreciated. A large part of my problem right now is that I don't even know what questions to ask. My general situation is this: 1. I'm going to be storing user information in a database. 2. I have to be able to let the appropriate user securely access that information, which means I'll need a user id or something like that to pull the data out of the database. I talked to someone with some experience in web development who uses ColdFusion and he said that he gets the correct information from the user database to authenticate, and then sets a session variable user_id (from the database) which he can use to access the database. I apologize again for the indirect approach of this question. I just want to know if there is some standard way to handle this. If someone can point me in the right direction (i.e. "research this and that") I'm more than willing to go off and do the research. What I've seen so far is the possibility of using something like LoginManager with CoreSessionTracking, but I'm not sure if that's what I need. Thanks in advance, Jeremiah _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

string to DTML
by Tom Cameron 28 Sep '01

28 Sep '01

How do I convert a string to a DTML object? I have a string property which contains DTML. I would like to render it. Something like <dtml-var "_.getitem('property',1)"> however because the object is a string I simply get the exact string. I would like to convert it to a dtml object or interpret it as if it were DTML. Thanks Tom

Failure with proxy role
by Julián Muñoz Domínguez 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

First, thanks for reading this email. I am using 2.4.0 on Linux. I have created a user defined role in a folder, and have tried to set a python script with this role as a proxy role. It doesn't work. Proxy Roles work with user defined roles ??? Here is the error (I am the manager): pd. I have the same error changing the role to "Owner", but not "Anonymous", "Authenticated", "Manager". You are not authorized to change createtoken because you do not have proxy roles.

Propertymanager
by Stadtverwaltung Schwarzenberg 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

Hi there... I'd like to create a ZClass, which is supposed to have the behavior of both, Objectmanager and Propertymanager but I don't want it to inherit from the Folder class. The Problem is once I create a new ZClass in my Product I can choose ZClasses: Objectmanager as a baseclass but I can't choose Propertymanager as a base class. Is there any way to aviod this problem? Thank a lot Falk Eilenberger

testing for property
by Tom Cameron 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

I am trying to write a script that upgrades instances of a class. I have added new properties to my python product Class and I wish to run a method to check the old instances and add properties if necessary. I find that when I use the hasProperty('propname') method it always returns true. It appears that this method checks the 'Class' and not the actual 'Instances' for the existance of a property. So if I upgrade my class, I cant use this method to check for instances that are missing properties. Is this true?? It appears I have to actually raise an error to check for a property try: print instance.property else: instance.property='' This seems a bit silly. Am I doing anything wrong here Tom
