How to determine needed permissions to create any object type ?
by Jerome Alet 17 May '01

17 May '01

Hi, For the ZShell external method I'm boring your for two weeks, I wanted to create a new mkobj command which would accept a meta type as its argument and a list of objects ids to create (empty) with this meta type. So I need to know what permission is needed to allow the creation of a particular meta type. e.g. : mkobj "DTML Document" top_html bottom_html Would have to know that to be allowed to create an object of meta type "DTML Document" the permission "Add Documents, Images, and Files" is needed. So my question is: given a meta type, how to list the permission(s) needed to be allowed to create an instance of this particular meta type ? Thanks in advance. Jerome Alet - alet(a)unice.fr

how to extract info from html?
by Luke Tymowski 17 May '01

17 May '01

hello, i'm trying to automate the creation of RSS files. my pages consist of a series of paragraphs with links and commentary (weblog). i need to extract the url, the title, and description from each paragraph. how do i do that? i suspect it's simple but i'm not exactly a programmer. for example, Zope.org: <a href="some url">New Zope Release</a> "Zope 2.4.0a, the first alpha release of 2.4 is out now and features ..." XML.com: <a href="another url">Zope and XML</a> "An interesting article on creating XML with Zope" taking that, how do I end up with: title: New Zope Release link: some url description: Zope 2.4.0a, the first alpha release of 2.4 is out now and fetures ... title: Zope and XML link: another url description: An interesting article on creating XML with Zope I suspect it would be much easier if I were using ZClasses to create each entry. but i'm not. :( I can strip out the header and footer code so all i'm left with is balanced paragaphs. by balanced i mean each block of text is wrapped in opening and closing tags and . but then i get stuck. thanks, luke

RE: [Zope] Zope 2.3.2 version
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 17 May '01

Solution is (and it's a hack); create an alternate index method within whatever it is that you are indexing that outputs the text, and for every word with an accent, strip out the accent (perhaps use a python dictionary of character mappings). Index that method (or methods). You are then indexing un-accented text. Then, write a method that translates accents out of the search text by rewriting the field in the REQUEST object for each text box where people enter text (using the same code as above). Not a graceful solution, but would be transparent to the user - though this might get a bit tedious if you have lots of fields/methods/properties with full-text indexes...

The site ignores accentuation. I realy need to do that. The search has to bring related results to the keyword, not only results that has it. A basic feature to do that is to ignore accentuation. Maybe in english that doesn`t make much diference, but in many other languages, like in portuguese that has almost the half of the words with accents, it is impossible to have a search without it. So, someone see any solution? Thanks.

Re: longest running zope
by Cary O'Brien 17 May '01

17 May '01

Our bug-tracking system (Zope + PostgreSQL + Linux) uptimes are limited by mains power -- I can't seem to get beyond 100 days. Current uptime for both the server and Zope is 29 days. Except for power problems the system has not misoperated in any way I have seen (and people would let me know) in the two years we have been using it. As far as I know it will run forever. Well, actually I think that there may be some PostgreSQL index files that may keep growing. -- cary

FSPoll question #2
by Joe Copeland 17 May '01

17 May '01

I was wondering how you would structure the DTML code to create a FSPoll exactly like the one on the zopezen.org site. The HTML code shows this poll is in a little table. I'm having a tough time figuring out how to call the poll using DTML. I'm just learning so please forgive my ignorance. I tried a bunch of combinations of the dtml-var tag and the dtml-with tag. I think what stumbling me is the URL format. You have to call up the question and then vote_small_html to display it in HTML. The URL is like ..question/vote_small_html. -- Joe

FSPoll
by Joe Copeland 17 May '01

17 May '01

I think the FSPoll product is a neat idea but I can't find any documentation on how to use it properly. I installed in on my system with a little moving of the files since the tar build is kind of messed up. Anyway, I'm just trying to figure out What the relationship of the FS Poll folder is supposed to be in relationship with the questions and the answers. -- Joe

Security problem
by Punn 17 May '01

17 May '01

Hello, I am newbie. My Zope security works in a strange way: The security tab says as follows: When the Acquire permission settings checkbox is selected then the containing objects's permission settings are used. It took me some time to understand, that the settings are USED, when the Acquire permission settings checkbox is UNchecked. All checked settings are ignored. For example, if I want to prevent Anonymous user seeing something, I must uncheck in the View row "Acquire permission setting" and "Anonymous user" columns. What is wrong? Zope Version: Zope 2.3.1 (binary release, python 1.5.2, linux2-x86) Python Version: 1.5.2 (#10, Dec 6 1999, 12:16:27) [GCC 2.7.2.3] System Platform: linux2 Andres Punning

bug in ZClasses: Folderish ZClass shows wrong "subobjects" meta_types
by Danny William Adair 17 May '01

17 May '01

Hi! For my folderish ZClass I find "subobjects" in the management screen to determine which objects are allowed to be added inside my ObjectManager. The "subobjects" tab shows me a list of meta_types to choose from, so that I can make sure I don't get a "the object xyz doesn' t support this operation" when creating/pasting objects of that metatype. But the list is faulty! :-o :-o 1) Created folderish ZClass "Universe" ,metatype "Hello Universe" 2) Created folderish ZClass "World" ,metatype "World" 3) Added "World" to the allowed subobjects list of "Universe" That's ok. Works as expected. Now let's say I find out that "World" is a bad meta_type (there can be several reasons for this, for example someone else has just released a wonderful product, which instantiates "World" objects) Now... 4) Changed the metatype of ZClass "World" to "Hello World" 5) Damn, *now I can't add any World instances in my Universe instances anymore* :-( So, then Universe's "allowed subobjects" list wasn't adjusted automatically... mmmh, ok. Then I' ll do it manually. 6) Right, go to ZClass "Universe" and look under subobjects to correct the entry... Boing! I only find "World" in the list, although this metatype shouldn' t exist anymore. But I can' t find the new metatype, "Hello World", and so I will never ever again be able to add them in a Universe instance. Can anyone reproduce this misbehavior? Now, how can I fix this once it has happened? I love "Hello World" and I hate "World", so how can I get it back? My first attempt was to rename the ZClasses and add new ones... bang. "The permission Add Hello Worlds is already defined." Ok, break, this will get way to complicated... So then, I would call this a bug in ZClasses, can somebody confirm this? def possible_meta_types(self): return self.aq_acquire('_product_meta_types')+Products.meta_types This is what the management screen calls to show me the wrong list, maybe someone knows what's happening here and how to fix this? tia, Danny P.S.: - Zope 2.3.2 (binary release, python 1.5.2, win32-x86) , Python 1.52 - yes I flushed cache, packed db and restarted zope in between
