RE: [Zope] Vote for Windowing Toolkit to use for Fat Client
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 22 May '01

Yuck. Sorry, but for x-platform development, if the Trolls are going to charge for Windows dev. license, it makes no sense to use this as a basis for an x-platform open-source project; this is not just KDE, it has to run on other platforms and still have a free core!!! This would have to run on Win32, and by using a commercial toolkit like Qt, you significantly raise the barrier to entry for potential developers. wxPython is (from the looks of it) going to be the defacto replacement for tkinter, and it is relatively friendly - and I believe wider used - and there is not reason to complain about using gtk widgets on *NIX, because the development is abstracted by a class library (and gtk widgets are much more aesthetically pleasing!). There is a practical (not dogmatic) reason to keep things free: you want to encourage widespread development and contribution, and you won't get that with a limit imposed by a commercial toolkit. What I don't understand is what differentiates most of the frameworks for desktop development (wxWindows, Qt, MFC, OWL, inti, etc), they all try to share the same idea space - but wxWindows at least qualifies as mature, modern, and free.

still dtml-tree
by Klaus Herrmann 22 May '01

Hi! This dtml-tree problem with "hidden" folders again: if i do <dtml-tree> <dtml-unless hidden> <dtml-var id> </dtml-unless> </dtml-tree> it will work fine for folders that do not contain subfolders. otherwise, this [+] will be displayed (what is really not acceptable). do you see any chance do arrange this with the branches_expr="objectValues(['Folder'])" call? that would be great! thanks in advance!

Z SQL method results from a python script
by daniel.a.fulton＠delphiauto.com 22 May '01

22 May '01

I have a Z SQL method named "employ_data" as below: SELECT SUM(employ_hour) AS sum_hour, SUM(employ_salary+employ_hour) AS sum_total, division WHERE employ_record.month=<dtml-sqlvar month type=string> AND employ_record.year=<dtml-sqlvar year type=int> GROUP BY division This method has been tested and returns multiple rows in the result set correctly with input for month, year. I want to use this method in a python script but can't for the life of me get it to return the entire result set. Python script: results = context.employ_data(month=month, year=year) for result in results: return result.sum_hour, result.sum_total, result.division This returns only one record -- the first record in the result set. I need the entire result set. Am I misusing this or have incorrect script? Thanks, Daniel

Security problem in How-To: Caching with mod_proxy
by Ragnar Beer 22 May '01

22 May '01

Howdy! In the how-to I wrote about caching with mod_proxy (http://www.zope.org/Members/rbeer/caching) there is a security problem insofar that if you setup your server just like that it will be a public proxy that people can use to cover their traces when accessing other websites. To disable this behavior you could e.g. add a LocationMatch directive to your httpd.conf that denies every request that doesn't start with a slash. <LocationMatch "^[^/]"> Deny from all </LocationMatch> To try out the problem and see the effect of the fix configure your browser to use www.mysite.org port 80 as a proxy (assuming the name of your site is www.mysite.org) Then try to access a page from your browser and look at your access_log. Thanks to Ivo van der Wijk for pointing out the problem! Cheers, Ragnar P.S.: I'll be in Switzerland for a couple of days and probably won't have internet access till monday. So if anybody replies and waits for my answer: please be patient ;)

Hi Eric, Thanks for the response. Loved the <shameless plug></shamelessplug> ... you've got great comic timing.

Please read through the documentation at http://cmf.zope.org >before you install CMF, it is a complex software package. Thanks, I thought it wouldn't be such a brain-strain, I guess I was wrong. I don't think I'll have a problem with trying out Squishdot at all, nor CMF. I know it's going to take a lot of sweat and cups of coffee. Kinda worried bout the clients tho. They've been spoilt by the user friendliness of the Mac and will balk at the idea that the cms they'll use is different. I'm sure that one can be developed, I'm just not sure as to which tools to utilise to build what they want. They want a superfast site, with lots of quicktime files (stored in MySQL) that's easily updateable by non techs. They'll also need a workgroup calendar solution that would enable them to work collectively from remote locations. I know that they sound like a big company, but they're aren't ... they only have 5 staff. But they'd like to use the site as their virtual office, ... so to speak. Oh yea .. they need loads of Flash. ><shameless plug> >If you would like some help with this site, we do technical and creative >consulting. ></shameless plug> Hey!

[ANN] ZShell 1.0pre1
by Jerome Alet 22 May '01

22 May '01

Hi, I'm pleased to announce the availability of ZShell 1.0pre1. ZShell is an external Zope method which allows you to manipulate the ZODB using standard unix shell's commands from within Zope's Management Interface in your web browser. You can download it from: http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/zshell/ This is a preversion of 1.0 which I'll publish in a week or two, but I would want to receive lots of feedback from people who use ZShell with SiteRoots, VirtualHostMonsters and all this sort of things. Such setups seem to make ZShell display incorrect urls and objects' paths, so the more feedback I receive the on this subject, the less buggy it will be in 1.0 final. Please send me reports which include your current configuration and "works" or "doesn't work", and of course feel free to send patches. New features are: ================= - The call command works again. - The wget command works again. - The passwd command now works. - The domains command now works. - The roles command now works. - The lrole command was renamed to lroles to be more consistent with the roles command. - The lsusers command now lists both roles and local roles. - The lsuser command was renamed to lsusers to be more consistent with the rest. - The cd command now displays the current directory correctly when an error occurs. - Security checks are now done for all commands. - DocStrings fixes. - Urls should now be OK with SiteRoots and Apache ProxyPass/ProxyReverse, but this needs heavy testing by someone who has got this sort of setup. The fact that all commands now do security checks may be of particular interest to those of you who were afraid of giving ZShell access to people: you should now be able to do it (carefully) 1.0 final will include: ======================= addrole (add a user defined role) setperms (set permissions) lsperms (list permissions) locate (search in ZCatalog) history (history of commands) suckfs (suck filesystems and put them into ZODB) the mv command will allow renaming. the mv and cp commands will accept paths in source arguments. TODO list for post 1.0: ======================= - Make most commands recognize options, the most useful options would certainely be: --recurse and --maxdepth --hasperms= --type= --mtime= --mmin= --owner= ... - Piping between commands. Feel free to send any wish, comment, bug report, patch, etc... Thanks in advance.
