referential integrity
by Lukas Maag 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

hi zopistas, Is there a way in zope to define restrictions as we now it from relational databases. In other words, is it possible to store only a reference of an object in a attribute of another object. Additionally, the zope database wouldn't allow to delete the referenced object while it's still referenced (in a attribute of another object). if this is somehow possible, it would make zope very, very powerfull. thanx, lukas

what security should these methods have?
by kosh＠aesaeion.com 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

__call__, __bobo_traverse__ I have been going through my products trying to lock things down more using the new security model and I have been making all the security explicit. Mostly because it makes it easy to change and easy to see what the permissions are. However what kinds of security should those two items have? private? public? protected? if protected what permission should they be protected by? What is a good place to find this information overall since it doesn't seem to be in the zope developers guide which I kind of expected some of this kind of info in. Is there a way in zope to have it give you every permission and every method that is protected by that permission? I think it would make this kind of analysis easier.

RE: [Zope] Best Virtual Host Solution
by Meilicke, Scott 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

I'm using Zserver and Site Access, http://zope.org/Members/4am/SiteAccess, version SiteAccess-2-0-0 plus Mapping. This supports virtual hosting without a python script. Install SiteAccess Add a virtual host monster (vhm) in the root of your site Click on the new vhm, and read the instructions. Note the Edit tab - this is where you make the mappings. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: alex(a)quad.com.ar [mailto:alex@quad.com.ar] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 8:05 PM To: Vincent - D. Ertner; Zope Subject: Re: [Zope] Best Virtual Host Solution if you have apache in front of zope, then I'd use VirtualHostMonster, which is quite straight forward.. otherwise, if you have Zope without anything in front of it, you can do the following: let's say you want the folder /foo to become www.foo.org and /bar to become www.bar.org create a SiteRoot object on each folder with title, base and path empty. then at the root folder create a python script with the following content: hostname = context.REQUEST.HTTP_HOST sitemap = {} sitemap['www.foo.org']='foo' sitemap[www.bar.org']='bar' if sitemap.has_key(hostname): SiteRootPATH='/' context.REQUEST['TraversalRequestNameStack'].append(sitemap[hostname]) go back to root folder and select 'Set Access Rule' , click Add, then in the 'Rule Id' write the name of the python script you just created in the root folder and finally click 'Set Rule', that will make an Access Rule out of that pyscript. hope it helps..

System rc Script
by Ben Ocean 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

Hi; I'd like to install Jim Cain's system rc script http://www.zope.org/Members/jec/startstop_howto_html but I crashed my MTA by screwing something up. I'm hoping someone out there can help me with a few config questions specific to this program: **In the zope script... What do these numbers represent? chkconfig: 345 90 10 I have a file called *zope.conf* but not in the /etc/ directory. I assume I just change the path and that it's the same file, correct? /etc/zope.conf **In the zstart/zstop script... What is this file? I have no such file. ZOPE_BASE=/opt/Zope I don't have this file. Do I change the path to something else? INSTANCE_BASE=/home/httpd/zope What IS this??? PS="ps wax" Since I have 2 pythons, should I change this to python2.1 to conform with the latest Zope distro? PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python **In the env script... I have no user *www* Should I use root? ZOPE_USER=www I don't have such a file in this path. What should I do? ZOPE_BASE=/usr/local/Zope **In the instances script... What do these numbers mean? zope0 8022 2 0 site3 8023 2 1 Thanks for any help, BenO

About IEMethod
by Igor Leturia 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

Hi all! I've been trying other ways to design the graphic parts of our intranet, and I've found the IEMethod product. It's amazing! It's just like a DTML method but it has a tab called editor where there is a WYSIWYG editor for IE. The bad thing is that it doesn't include graphics, tables or forms. Does anyone know about a similar product that would include these too? Or, if the author is about, will new versions of it include these? Thanks in advance, Igor Leturia

Catalog I18N problem: lines type property
by Milos Prudek 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

Catalog record at/Metadata Contents: When displaying metadata using ZMI, characters that do not belong to ISO-8859-1 are displayed with escape codes like these:"\xec\x9a". These metadata are rendered correctly when calling from DTML. It only applies to the "lines" type property. Just a cosmetic problem. -- Milos Prudek

Did you make install? By default, it should >install into /usr/local, with the include files going into >/usr/local/include/python. Yes I did and it put the modules in /usr/local/lib/include/python2.1 so I changed setup.py to if sys.platform == "linux2": # Red Hat include_dirs = ['/usr/include/mysql','/opt/Python-2.1.1/Include','/usr/local /include/python2.1'] And then ran ../bin/python setup.py build (from my Mysql-python directory underneath the zope home directory - and it ran !!! so I then ran ../bin/python setup.py install and that ran so I ran ./stop and ./start in my zope home directory and ZMySQLDA was installed and running. Got there in the end. Thanks for your help Regards Richard Richard Moon richard(a)dcs.co.uk

SiteRoot and User Access
by Dan Shafer 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

I manage a number of sites on a single instance of Zope (2.3.x) installed at Hurrah.com, my Zope hosting service. I have learned (or at least _believe_ i have learned) that I need to add a SiteRoot to these virtual sites before their URLs will work correctly from the outside. When I add a SiteRoot, it _appears_ that it interferes somehow with access privileges. For example, I can log into my manage site and deal with the top-level stuff and with sites that don't have a SiteRoot. But if I click on the folder for a site that _does_ have SiteRoot, I get asked for my user name and password again. Is this normal behavior? I've searched all the docs I can find and I don't see very much written on SiteRoot, so its usage is a little uncertain for me. ===== --------------- Dan Shafer, Author/Consultant http://www.danshafer.com - Personal Site http://www.gui.com - Ghostwriting Site dshafer(a)yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
