Het all, I'm looking for a string format function that formats a string (real numbers eg. 30.0 or 25.88) to a money format ($0.00) I would prefer to do this in DTML if possible. Thanks in advance, Tommy Not a Zope expert yet - but give me a few weeks! ;>

Zope folder property manipulation problem
by Bobby Mathew 25 May '01

25 May '01

Hi guys I am struggling with a small part. I passed the following parameter to this python script - fname, newvar, newval, newtype I am trying to change the current variable say memberid which is passed within newvar with a newvalue say 100 which is passed in newval. But its not getting changed. The line indicated below has no effect ------------------------------------ if container.hasProp(fname, newvar): container[fname].manage_changeProperties(newvar = newval) (this line is suppossed to make the change - but no effect) print fname + '-0' else: try: container[fname].manage_addProperty(newvar, newval, newtype) print 1 except: print 0 return printed ----------------------------------- how do i make python understand that i want the value with the newvar to be used and to be set with the value within newval ??? please advice me. thanks bobby

Hello, i've got this problem with the date-value 2039/01/05. Nearby this value it seems to be a python-time-limit! Is this changed with 2.0 and when not what can you do?? Tell your customer not to think about the future ;-) Bye and thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion. However, I've got just that already sitting here on my desk -- as I said, I've read the documentation available. I'm looking for something *more* than that explanation, which doesn't really seem to make clear the pros and cons of using the various types.

Index types, property types
by Leigh Ann Hildebrand 25 May '01

25 May '01

I've read the documentation about various index types (Text, Field, Keyword) as well as the information about property types. However, I'm having problems understanding how to decide which to use for different situations. For instance, I originally made document keywords a property "keywords" of the type "tokens", but it seems like tokens are case sensitive, and I'd be better off using just "string" -- or maybe it's that having the keyword property be indexed as KeywordIndex is a bad choice? Could someone compare and contrast these things a bit more for me?

ANN: www.zopelabs.com
by M. Adam Kendall 25 May '01

Hey folks, Just a little note to announce the availability of http://www.zopelabs.com. A community driven site that houses a Zope "cookbook". Code snippets that you find useful for doing the mundane, or more in-depth "black magic voodoo". The general goal is to provide a "learn by example" environment, and cut-and-paste type code sharing. Hopefully, with this type of environment it will make the migration from PHP/ASP to Zope a much more pleasurable experience. Along with opening the site up to the community, the source to the product that drives most of the functionality of the site is available for download. Patches/comments welcome ;-) Adam -- "There's never enough time to do | M. Adam Kendall all the nothing you want." | mak(a)kha0s.org -Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes) | http://www.zopelabs.com

Disabling anonymous webdav access
by Ivo van der Wijk 25 May '01

25 May '01

Hi All, As someone pointed out on #zope, it is possible to view folder contents using a webdav client as an anonymous user. I.e. download cadaver (http://www.webdav.org/cadaver/) open yourzopeserver:8080 and do ls. Then decide if you want anyone to be able to access this. Eventhough hiding this information may be security by obscurity, there are some things you just don't want everyone to see. This allows you to see, for example, the installed products on the server. A hacker might use this knowledge to exploit some known bug in a zope product if one exists. Most people (like me) probably think it's harmless to let old objects, documents etc linger around as you can't view them in listings through ftp or http. They don't realize webdav is running by default. Actually, it can't even be disabled! (z2.py -X -w80 won't do the trick!) Personally I'd rather see this secured. It's not possible to disable 'view contents information' for anonymous users in zope, as this will ruin your entire site (all anonymous access will then be disabled), so the solution would be to create a new permission for access contents through webdav. And that's what the following (trivial) patch does. After applying you'll get a new permission in your security tab, which is set to manager by default. To get the old behaviour back, just set the permission back to anonymous. Apply it using patch -p1 ../webdav.patch in your SOFTWARE_HOME (i.e. the Zope-2.3.2-src dir). Or just edit lib/python/webdav/Resource.py by hand :) I've tested it with Zope 2.3.2, I can't guarantee it will work with other versions (use at your own risk anyway). -- cut here -- *** Zope-2.3.2-orig/lib/python/webdav/Resource.py Tue Mar 27 21:50:37 2001 --- Zope-2.3.2-src/lib/python/webdav/Resource.py Mon May 14 19:16:46 2001 *************** *** 109,115 **** __ac_permissions__=( ('View', ('HEAD',)), !
