Re: [Zope] Testing multiple values for existance - still

In the first case, you test both existence and value, in the second case only existence. In general: <dtml-if XXX> is equivalent to <dtml-if "_.has_key('XXX') and XXX"> More details: <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html> > - How exactly is the expression "foo" defined? The expression "foo" is defined as "foo".... But, when you use it with "dtml-if" or in another boolean context, then it is checked whether it has a Python true value. Everything, that is not a Python false value, is a Python true value. Python false values are e.g. the integer 0, the empty string, an empty sequence, and object "o" with "len(o) == 0", an object "o" with "o.__non_zero__() = 0". More details: Python language reference.... Dieter

Importing ZFloatMenu-1.0.zexp
by Roger Oberholtzer 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

I am somewhat new to ZOPE. Things are OK when they work. When they don't, I'm not far enough along yet... I am trying to import ZFloatMenu-1.0.zexp into Zope. When I do so, I get the following error message: The object ZFloatMenu does not support this operation Traceback (innermost last): File /home/httpd/Zope-2.3.2-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /home/httpd/Zope-2.3.2-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /home/httpd/Zope-2.3.2-linux2-x86/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Traversable) File /home/httpd/Zope-2.3.2-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /home/httpd/Zope-2.3.2-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_importObject) File /home/httpd/Zope-2.3.2-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_importObject) File /home/httpd/Zope-2.3.2-linux2-x86/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 565, in manage_importObject (Object: Traversable) File /home/httpd/Zope-2.3.2-linux2-x86/lib/python/OFS/CopySupport.py, line 444, in _verifyObjectPaste (Object: Traversable) Copy Error: (see above) What stupid thing have I missed? This item required Renderer, which I have installed as a product. I am doing the import into a folder, starting the operation by pressing the Import/Export button in the Zope manage screen. This is with Zope-2.3.2 and python 1.5 It seems that everything else I am trying to do in Zope is working as expected. I have not upgraded Zope as I want to be sure I know what I am doing first. -- Roger Oberholtzer

Internet Bill of Rights in Zope
by lozinski＠openstepnews.com 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

I have published an internet bill of rights and responsibilities on the web at: http://216.17.175.171/WebSites/BillOfRights It is hosted at imeme.com, a great ISP for Zope hosting. Given the current attack on civil liberties on the web, there is a need to define and support our civil liberties. I would like to ask people to help me extend this website with weblogs, email lists, graphics, databases, and whatever else you can imagine. Of course I need Zopistas to make this happen. Let me know if you would like to help. PS. I believe that this web site will be noticed far and wide. So this is a great way to get the world to notice Zope!

Re: [Zope] Mailing List Archive Indexing Quality

Hi James, > Anyone have any idea why the archive indexes are essentially useless? Uhhm, no but you could try http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists.html just take not about the search syntax, it differs from the syntax of google and altavista - it defaults to substring search if you search for "nt service acl_users", I'm mentioning that because I can't get it in my dumb head myself. I tried "nt and service and acl_users" and got some hits ... HTH, oliver

is this a browser problem?
by Tom Hoffman 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

On each member's "Change User" screen in acl_users, I can only seem to select one role at a time from the menu, or use shift-click to choose adjacent roles. This is using Mozilla (linux.9.3), Konqueror, IE(MacOSX) and Omniweb. Also, the menu to remove roles only brings up one or two roles or nothing? Can I change these by hand somewhere? Anyone else have this problem? --Tom

Mailing List Archive Indexing Quality
by James Garrison 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

Anyone have any idea why the archive indexes are essentially useless? I tried searching for "acl_users" from the link available at http://www.zope.org/Resources/MailingLists and it returned all 76,000+ messages in the archive. Someone suggested I try the archive at ActiveState.... it returned ZERO hits for "acl_users" and "nt service" (what I was looking for in a previous thread) (no, I didn't include the quotes in my search term) -- James Garrison Athens Group, Inc. mailto:jhg@athensgroup.com 5608 Parkcrest Dr http://www.athensgroup.com Austin, TX 78731 PGP: RSA=0x04B73B7F DH/DSS=0x70738D88 (512) 345-0600 x150

RE: [Zope] Mozilla 0.9.4 (Was: Problems with Mozilla-0.9.3)
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

One of my colleagues has this problem under IE 5.0 for some reason... I wonder if this is similar. On another weird browser/ZMI note, can anyone explain this: I have a virtual host setup using a VHM accessed through a proxy, and use IE 5.5; when I access the ZMI, and right click on a tree link in the left frame to open the link in a new window, all subsequent clicks in that pane open manage_main in a new window as a target? I've only seen this on this setup, and not natively accessing the same Zope server(s) without the virtual host setup. Weird, isn't it?

I have the same effect with Mozilla and Zope on my box at home when I access the instance from inside my private network. When I access the site from outside the network the misbehaviour disappears. Maybe a closer HTTP analysis will help.

DTML and ZPT editing in XEmacs
by Shane Hathaway 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

After much tinkering (since I'm no LISP guru), I finally figured out how to get XEmacs to automatically go to html-mode whenever you open a .dtml or .zpt file. Maybe this will be useful for others. In your .emacs file (normally in your home directory), just add the following two lines to the end: (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.zpt$" . html-mode)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.dtml$" . html-mode)) Shane

Encrypted EMail with ZSMime
by Bob Corriher 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

We have implemented encrypted email using M2Crypto and ZSMime (thanks Ng!) in the past using Netscape Messenger with no problem. However this time, we need to implement it using Outlook as an email client. We can successfully import the certificate (created with OpenSSL) into Outlook, but it dooes not appear as an option when we try to set up an individual account for encryption. Any clues would be appreciated. Bob Corriher P-Wave Inc.
