[ANN] ZShell 0.7
by Jerome Alet 11 May '01

11 May '01

Hi, you can download ZShell 0.7 from http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/zshell 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. It's a very powerful tool which can possibly destroy your ZODB's contents when not used correctly: You've been warned. Actually no security assertion is made in some methods, which are: restart, shutdown, lrole and pack. Other methods will work or exit with a message, depending on your current privileges. Actually 47 commands similar to that of a standard Unix shell are recognized (only 38 Work, the last 9 are only skeletons, see below) New features: - Command mkuf added. - Skeleton for commands added: suckfs, find, locate, replace, grep, passwd, domains, roles, history Just for people to know what will happen one day ;-) - Some code commented out in the hope to finally solve the problem many have encountered (except me !) - Commands that don't need shell expansion mechanism don't use it anymore. - A bug when using a zshell.css stylesheet was corrected. - about command output changed. Please report any problem you may encounter because I think the bug many encountered is now closed thanks to Godefroid Chapelle, but I really want to be sure to reactivate some other parts I've deactivated temporarily. Thanks in advance. Jerome Alet - alet(a)unice.fr

MySQL Request delivers wrong format
by Stefan Pöhnlein 11 May '01

11 May '01

Hello, I've a problem concerning a MySQL request. When I request a data from the type Int I don't get as result just the fihure, like e.g. 1, 2, 3, ...... but instead of that 1 L, 2 L ,..... It must be a problem of the Zope Version, or the ZMySQL Adaper, because an older version of both works quite well, with the same MySQL Database. Does anybody know about the problem. Many thanks in advance, Stefan

Why does it do that? I know this only, if the first parameter is called "self". We use default parameters regularly (in Zope 2.1.6) and they work as expected. Dieter

user roles in standard_error_message
by Danny William Adair 11 May '01

11 May '01

Hi! While customizing my standard_error_message, I ran into a little problem: Someone with the role "Member" is logged in and tries to access a resource that does not exist. Same could happen to someone who doesn't have that role (Anonymous). Now I have two different style sheets for members and non-members: A member might click on a broken link from within the members-only area (having a... pink background), the anonymous user clicked the same broken link from a publicly accessible area of the site (having a... silver background). I would like to keep the different background colors when showing my error message so I put a <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('Member')"> <dtml-var "members_css"> <dtml-else> <dtml-var "public_css"> </dtml-if> in the head section of standard_error_message (these *_css are ZStyleSheets) My problem is, that it's always the public_css that will show up. So I checked with <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()"> in both the members area and standard_error_message. To my surprise the member role was gone: In the members area getRoles() returned ('Member',) while in standard_error_message ( _.str(error_type)=='NotFound' ) it returned ('Anonymous',) btw, the role is not really "lost", I can go back to the members area and click through members-only pages without problems. What's happening? This looks like buggy, naughty misbehavior :-), doesn't it? tia, Danny

RE: [Zope] Where are user created help files stored?
by Schmidt, Allen J. 11 May '01

11 May '01

On a side note I have wondered about in the past... Do help files HAVE to be attached to products? Since the help link is always available, I would like to create a help file for a FOLDER that houses all my content (DTML methods, ZSQL methods, etc.) For example, I created and maintain a Business directory of local businesses and it lives in a BusinessDirectory folder off the root. I want to create help files so that if I get 'Bussed' (run over by a bus) then those that follow me can know exactly how things are done within the 'app' - i.e. how data gets transferred in, how images are loaded, how to maintain the admin tool, etc. Would be great if the help for just this tool was context-linked to the help link in that folder. Not sure if I explained it right and maybe a simple solution.

Re: [Zope] Can't get "objectIds()" (and others) from XML-RPC
by Phil Harris 11 May '01

11 May '01

Ah, now then. You've hit some of the problems of XML-RPC here. There is no way to pass named params with XML-RPC. XMLRPC also can't handle 'None' or NIL or anything that means undefined. You could try and work around this by using a dictionary of params rather than simple params. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gilles Lenfant" <glenfant(a)bigfoot.com> To: "Phil Harris" <phil.harris(a)zope.co.uk> Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 12:52 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Can't get "objectIds()" (and others) from XML-RPC > Many thanks Phil ! > It worked at first attempt ! > > Hmmm. additional question for this kind of workaround : > I need support for optional arguments in a Zope python script, just like > this in "natural python" > > def stuff(param=None): > if param: > # do it with provided param > else: > # provide default param > param = [] > > I've tried to put "param=None" in the parameter list of the zope management > screen but it seems that it remains like "None" when I provide data for the > "param"... > > This is just for using "objectIds()" and "objectIds('DTML Method')" with the > same Zope python script "myObjectIds" > > TIA again > > Gilles > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Phil Harris > To: Gilles Lenfant ; zope(a)zope.org > Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 12:45 PM > Subject: Re: [Zope] Can't get "objectIds()" (and others) from XML-RPC > > > Yes, you did! > > The objectIds are no longer callable via a URL, they can only be called from > DTML or Python (internal and external). > > This means that you can't call it via XML-RPC. > > Don't lose hope though, here's how to get around this limitation. > > Create an Internal Python Script in the root of Zope, with these contents: > > return context.objectItems() > > This will return the list and all will be well. > > You should though have some security on this method, otherwise *everybody* > will see the contents on your Zope instance. > > > > > Thanks in advance for any hint. > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** > > (Related lists - > > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** > (Related lists - > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Can't get "objectIds()" (and others) from XML-RPC
by Gilles Lenfant 11 May '01

11 May '01

Hi group... I'm trying to use XML-RPC server features of ZOPE using Fredrik Lundh's xmlrpclib and the BasicAuthTransport class explained in Amos Latteier's Howto http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/XML-RPC. I've tried to do some stuffs explained in Amos's article at http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2000/01/xmlrpc/index.html I succeeded reading a DTML document with server.document_src() but when trying to get a folder objects list, like in the example: <python> from xmlrpclib import Server from BasicAuthTransport import BasicAuthTransport srv = xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost:8080/anyfolder', BasicAuthTransport('myself', 'mypassword')) print srv.objectIds() # raises the xmlrpclib.Fault exception </python> I got always this exception ! <console> Traceback (most recent call last): File "./userlist.py", line 10, in ? print srv.objectIds() File "/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/xmlrpclib.py", line 539, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/xmlrpclib.py", line 622, in __request request File "./BasicAuthTransport.py", line 46, in request return self.parse_response(h.getfile()) File "/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/xmlrpclib.py", line 593, in parse_respo nse return u.close() File "/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/xmlrpclib.py", line 367, in close raise apply(Fault, (), self._stack[0]) xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault -2: 'Unexpected Zope error value: <html><head><title>D ... </TD>\n\n<TD WIDTH="90%">\n <H2>Site Error</H2>\n An error was encountered while publishing this resource. \n Resource not found Sorry, the requested resource does not exist.Check the URL and try again.  <HR NOSHADE> Troubleshooting Suggestions\n\n <UL>\n <LI>T he URL may be incorrect.</LI>\n <LI>The parameters passed to this resource may </console> "objectIds" method is not the only one that raises an exception. When using methods inherited from class "ObjectManagerItem", it works but I got similar exception when using other methods inherited from class "ObjectManager". As mentioned in the API doc, a folder is supposed to be a subclass of "ObjectManagerItem" and "ObjectManager". Did I miss something ? Thanks in advance for any hint.

Zope.org webpage Members section (right place to post question?)
by Peter Bengtsson 11 May '01

11 May '01

In my members section, I have a folder full of DTML Documents with some example code that I would like to display the document_src of. Isn't that possible? It requires loggin in, and I can't change the secutiry settings of the subfolder to let Anonymous Users look at the document_src. Any other page can be seen using the DTML Source link at the bottom. help.please.peter
