Hi everybody, I was wondering if anyone knows of a product that gives a possibility to create a threaded discussion it should look a bit like http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2001-June/thread.html People would be able to discuss and reply directly in their browser. I´ve been looking on zope.org etc etc. but I just can´t seem to find anything. Hope someone can help me with this. Greetz, James

bloody newbie: access to subfolders [from python]
by C. Koehler 27 Jun '01

27 Jun '01

here we go for another stupid newbie question: I'm trying to deal with a subfolder within a pythonscript. I'll have to add to properties and to store a file from an upload form. I tried it as follows--- [id shall be the name of the subfolder and is given by me] container._.getitem(id).manage_addProperty('user',AUTHENTICATED_USER.getName(),'string') container._.getitem(id).manage_addProperty('data',ZopeTime().strftime('%m/%d/%Y- %I:%M%p'),'string') container._.getitem(id).manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFile(id+'.pdf',context.REQUEST['pdf']) by trying out this, I discovered a access proplem: I'm logged in as admin, but the script won't work. So: What's the problem with it? note: everything I try with "container._.getitem(id)" fails 'cos of access props, but I don't know how to do it alright [I mean refering to the subfolder] could somebody please help me [again]? thx, Christian

Best way to integrate Apache and Zope authentication realms?
by Tony McDonald 27 Jun '01

27 Jun '01

Hi, I have almost all my stuff in Zope, but we have a large package written in PHP that I need to integrate into our Zope system. Our stuff is frontended with Apache using the excellent VHM and some RewriteRules. I authenticate in Zope using UserDB against a MySQL database. The authentication in the PHP package is against MySQL too. Anyone know how can I get people to authenticate using the Zope interface (ie nice login box in the page) and be able to pass the authentication information to this PHP subsystem? I've got complete control over the realms used, the Zope server, the PHP code (ah, the power!).

by Oleg Broytmann 27 Jun '01

27 Jun '01

Hello! I've just installed it. Looks good, much better than alpha1 (of course). I imported my (and other's) ZClasses and successfulyy used. I installed all old products, and imported all working folders. I recreated catalogs - no problems so far. Minor inconvenience still - Import does not update left panel. Minor problem: Zope upon startup reported on stderr: ------ 2001-06-25T09:37:01 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of Products.ZNavigator.ZNavigator.ZNavigator: "manage" != "manage_main" ------ 2001-06-25T09:37:01 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of Products.ZNavigator.ZNavigator.NavItem: "manage_main" != "manage" ------ 2001-06-25T09:37:01 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of Products.ZStyleSheet.ZSSAttribute.ZSSAttr: "manage_propertiesForm" != "manage_workspace" ------ 2001-06-25T09:37:01 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of Products.ZStyleSheet.ZSSAttribute.ZSSAttr: "manage_propertiesForm" != "manage_main" ------ 2001-06-25T09:37:01 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of Products.ZStyleSheet.ZSSAttribute.ZSSAttr: "manage_propertiesForm" != "manage" ------ 2001-06-25T09:37:01 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of Products.ZStyleSheet.ZSSRule.ZSSRule: "manage_workspace" != "manage" ------ 2001-06-25T09:37:01 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of Products.ZStyleSheet.ZSSRule.ZSSRule: "manage_workspace" != "manage_main" ------ 2001-06-25T09:37:01 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of Products.ZStyleSheet.ZStyleSheet.ZStyleSheet: "manage_workspace" != "manage" ------ 2001-06-25T09:37:01 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of Products.ZStyleSheet.ZStyleSheet.ZStyleSheet: "manage_workspace" != "manage_main" ------ 2001-06-25T09:37:02 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of Products.ZSyncer.ZSyncer.ZSyncer: "manage_edit" != "manage_main" ------ What's that?

SiteRoot and <a>
by Petr Knapek 27 Jun '01

27 Jun '01

Hi Zopists, I use Zope 2.3.1 on both, FreeBSD and Debian together with Apache in SSL mode as a proxy server. I also use SiteRoot only from SiteAccess Zope core. I have developed a pythonn product which can store a URL and this URL is seen as a link when viewing this product in Zope. Part of my code which renders this links can be seen here: <a href="<dtml-var "getProperty('url')" url_quote>" target="<dtml-var "getProperty('target')">" class="linkFile"><dtml-var cz_id> (<dtml-var title>)</a> where product properties 'url' and 'target' holds URL and name of target window, respectively. On Zope 2.1.6 it was working fine under SiteRooted folder. But now, when working with Zope 2.3.1, the above noted code is evaluated in different way and returns also value of BASE1 CGI variable at the beginning of <a href="">. This is big problem when putting a foreign URL. I have looked for a documentation about SiteRoot and this 'special feature' and I am not sure if it is not a bug, but no bug finded. If you know how to solve this problem, let me know.

RE: Re: [Zope] A Tale from IBM land...
by Sedat Yilmazer 27 Jun '01

Hi I am working on a word/excel macro to post the document to the Zope server. In this way the users can use Save On Zope menu option to post their docs to the Zope server. Macro will also collect the neccessary metadata as well and use the http protocol to post the data to the zope server. To have an easy-to-install macro I need a httpd client activeX with file upload capability. I am looking at the xmlhttp from M$ Now I have a version that posts the file and the metadata in XML format to the server. I need some help on the server side. the XML doc. sent to the server must be somehow converted back to metadata and file. xmlhttp encodes the data into the xml doc. so it must be decoded as well. My Q's 1-) Can I just create a XMLDocument and get the file data 2-) Is there a simple way to simulate a post with the collected data so that the server interface remains the same 3-) as an alternative Is there way to send the file and the metadata via WebDav and/or FTP Regards Sedat Yilmazer -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Jon Edwards Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 10:56 AM To: Zope - mailing list Subject: FW: Re: [Zope] A Tale from IBM land... oops, I sent this to the CMF list first by accident! :-) -----Original Message----- From: Jon Edwards [mailto:jon@pcgs.freeserve.co.uk] Sent: 26 June 2001 23:48 To: Zope-Cmf Cc: tim(a)freepm.org Subject: Re: [Zope] A Tale from IBM land...

Connection on MySQL Database
by giquel valerie 27 Jun '01

27 Jun '01

Hello, wa have got many problems to connect on MySql Database because they ask us a connection string but we don't know why we put in this input box? For Oracle Database, we must put the "user/password@server name", but for MySQL is it the same thing? Thank a lot.

replay transactions?
by Kyler B. Laird 27 Jun '01

27 Jun '01

One of our Zope administrators blew away some work by deleting an object and importing a new one in its place. I've been unable to undo the transactions. Instead, I have restored the missing objects from a backup. Significant work was done since the backup, though. (It was a long night.) I can see the transactions in the folder's Undo page. Is there a way to get at the transactions and replay them? Thank you. --kyler

Evaluating a variable that contains a method
by Tommy Johnson 27 Jun '01

27 Jun '01

Hello all, Here's the situation, and I believe it could work - I just need to find the proper syntax. I have a variable that will contain the name of a DTML method; let's call the variable myVariable. Now, through some code logic, I set the variable to equal the name of a DTML method; which we'll call methodA. In that method, I only have some text. So: myVariable = methodA methodA --> (contains the text) --> This is some generic text for this particular method .... Now, here's the situation. I want to display this variable, which should call the method, which should render the text inside. Currently, I'm doing this: <dtml-var name="myVariable"> but I've also tried <dtml-var expr="myVariable"> This will return the name of the method (methodA), but not render what's INSIDE methodA. Does anyone have an idea on how to do that? Thanks in advance, Tommy
