Where does <the client> come from...?
by 3dfestival - WebMaster 09 May '01

09 May '01

I would like to learn if it is possible to tell where the client comes from...? And if so: how...? I know the HTTP_USER_AGENT global variable but is there something like that which tells you the URL the client is comming from...? I also know about javascript:history.go(-1), but can somebody tell me how I read the URL from the back-page something like: javascript:history.href(-1)...?

the neverending constructors
by Marco Mariani 09 May '01

09 May '01

Hi! I'm writing a product which is instantiated through a wizard, made by a sequence of HTML forms. Each form is a method, so I must declare them (and the methods called by them, and so on) to assign the permissions. It becomes: context.registerClass( ZopeCA, constructors = ( ZopeCA.addWizard, # the first method is called when someone # uses the pulldown menu ZopeCA.addWizard1, ZopeCA.addWizard_cert, ZopeCA.addWizard_key, ZopeCA.addWizard_x520, ZopeCA.addWizard_extensions, ZopeCA.manage_addCA, ZopeCA.set_dbconnection, ZopeCA.error, ZopeCA.countrylist, ZopeCA.rsa_filter_save, ZopeCA.rsa_filter_load, ZopeCA.sscert_save, ZopeCA.dateForm, ) ) or even longer. Is there a way to avoid declaring everything under the sun? Other products are set up by a single form, but mine is quite complex (it needs to create a self-signed certificate, amongst other things) Thanks.

[BUG] in changeOwner
by Jerome Alet 09 May '01

09 May '01

Sorry, my previous message's content should have been (please ignore what's at its top) : Hi, it seems (in fact I'm sure) there's a bug in changeOwner's behavior: it seems like if you try to change ownership recursively from an object (Folderish) on something you already own, changeOwner returns successfully immediately even if you're not the owner of the complete subtree. AccessControl/Owner.py says: --- CUT --- if old==new: return --- CUT --- which seems to confirm my point. any comment ?

Version Save/Discard doesn't work - any news?
by cg＠cdegroot.com 09 May '01

09 May '01

This morning, I wanted to save a big chunk of changes and noticed that after doing "Save", changed documents were still marked with the red diamond and that outside the version, the base folder suddenly gave a key error. Undoing the save luckily restored the status quo, and so it was time to hunt the Zope.org site for information. I noticed that similar behaviour has been reported a couple of times last year on the mailing lists, and except for a very old instance I never saw a response from an "official" on what can cause this, what one can do to prevent this, and whether this will be fixed, ever. The work-around I picked up from previous reports (packing the database and retrying) worked beautifully in my case, but is generally not acceptable: we host a lot of websites on this system, our dealers are constantly building/modifying customer sites and I'm only dimly aware of when they are busy. It is of course not very nice that every time I want to save a version, I have to kill their undo history by packing the DB (I usually don't pack the DB, and if I do at +30 days). So: 1. Is this a problem that can be avoided in some way? 2. Will it be fixed? Regards, Cees

[BUG] in changeOwner
by Jerome Alet 09 May '01

09 May '01

Hi, it seems (in fact I'm sure) there's a bug in changeOwner's behavior: I suspect changeOwner of changing ownership on the folder's content when you change ownership on the folder itself, e.g.: Folder-A |--Folder-B |--Object-C |--Folder-D |--Object-E if I change ownership on A but not its subobjects, then it seems that ownership is changed on A,B, C and D, while E retains its original ownership. is it normal ? To me it's not. it seems like if you try to change ownership recursively from an object (Folderish) on something you already own, changeOwner returns successfully immediately even if you're not the owner of the complete subtree. AccessControl/Owner.py says: --- CUT --- if old==new: return --- CUT --- which seems to confirm my point. any comment ?

question about multiple search criteria
by Junk 09 May '01

09 May '01

hello, world! i have this database wich i want to sort by multiple criteria (12 criteria) so i would have to search a zcatalog with those and i heard that quite a lot of people don't trust the zcatalog and it just doesn't seem to be *right*. is it cleaner to do it in some sort of relational database and make sql queries on it ? it **seems** to me that it would be better to do it this way, but i'm not sure, any ideas on how to do it ?

loginmanager in root folder?
by Erik Myllymaki 08 May '01

08 May '01

I am useing loginmanager0-8-8b1 with zope2.3.2 on win32. I upgraded zpatterns to0-4-3b2 as well. I have it working well with a MS SQLServer database but can't seem to figure out how to install it in the root folder. I get stuck in a catch-22 - I can't login as root(superuser/emergency user) to do the task because after I delete the /zoperoot/acl_users folder and try and paste the loginmanager folder, I get the "superuser cannot own" error message. When I login as another user with Manager and Owner roles to do the same task, immediately upon deleting the /zoperoot/acl_users folder, before I get a chance to paste the loginmanager folder I get promted to login again and can't (except as superuser). Any advice appreciated, Erik Myllymaki erik(a)pacific-shores.com
