Just in a meeting and discussing future options of some sites and I said "oh Zope can do that". The response someone gave was "Zope is the new Emacs". :) Cheers. -- Andy McKay.

[Fwd: [ez] Translating Zope]
by E. Seifert 08 May '01

08 May '01

Here's a message I recently posted in the eurozope mailing list. I didn't get much response yet. :-( -------- Original Message -------- Betreff: [ez] Translating Zope Datum: Sun, 06 May 2001 10:25:13 +0200 Von: "E. Seifert" <e.seifert(a)gmx.net> An: eurozope(a)comlounge.net Hi list, As Zope gains popularity translations are necessary to help non-english speakers to better understand Zope. Therefore an important goal should be to keep these translations consistent over various ressources. To reach that goal I would propose a project to provide translator with zope vocabulary in their language. The words should be proposed, discussed and finally fixed in an official list of translations. This would be a great relief for all translators and will make translations more homogeneous and thus understandable for readers. Awaiting your feedback Eric _____________________________________________________ EuroZope mailing list http://eurozope.beehive.de/ EuroZope(a)comlounge.net https://admin.comlounge.net/mailman/listinfo/eurozope

user authentication against a Radius server
by Larry Prikockis 08 May '01

08 May '01

Hi all-- I've been fiddling around with replacing the standard acl_users folder with something that will authenticate users against an external radius server we already have (Radiator). My understanding is that I need the LoginManager and Zradius products-- I have these installed and working (?) properly. In fact, I can successfully use the ZRadius product to process authentication requests... What I'm not quite clear on is exactly how I go about setting up a Zope users folder that utilizes these products. Could someone provide at least the rough outline of the steps I need to take. I'm just beginning to learn Python, so I'm hoping this can be done without any substantial programming.... perhaps not? thanks for any hints... + Larry J.

Problem w/ lines-->List in edit form
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 08 May '01

08 May '01

Weird problem I am having with "lines" properties, mapping them to a python list in a product. In a python product I'm working on, one class property in my primary class is a python list (well, an enhanced list class instance based upon a python list for underlying storage). This keyword class has a method called asTuple() which returns the list as a tuple; this is used to fill a DTML edit form textarea that uses "lines" as a type for the request object upon submission. This seems to work right, doing this: <textarea name="keywords:lines" cols="40" rows="6"><dtml-in expr="keywords.asTuple()"><dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in></textarea> [Notice the line feed before the </dtml-in>...] Upon submission, manage_edit does a self.setKeys(REQUEST['keywords']), where setKeys() accepts a list, then removes duplicate entries, and goes through the resulting de-duplicated list of words, and uses a list append() method to add each entry. Upon submission of this form, however, it adds an empty string as the 1st element of the list. This doesn't happen when unit testing my python code for my setKeys() method from the python shell. What I am guessing is happening is that there is a blank line inserted AT THE END of the textarea. This is then shifted to the front when my code runs a sort() on the list as part of the de-duplication process. My de-duplication code: def deDupe(self): """Scans through keyword list and de-dupes multiple entries for the same keyword""" #3 things: 2 loops and a sort, plus recursion via the 2nd loop - inefficient, but works for kw in self.keywords: if (self.keywords.count(kw) > 1): #If duplicate(s) of current kw, get rid of this one self.keywords.remove(kw) #technically, this removes 1st instance in list, this works #now, check for more duplicates, since above sometimes won't work in cases of several repreats for kw in self.keywords: if (self.keywords.count(kw) > 1): self.deDupe() self.keywords.sort() #sort the list I figure that I could incorporate code to get rid of "empty" list entries. Is there an easier way to do this? The extra line feed at the end of the text area ends up being a nuisance, but I'm not sure if there is a way to get the DTML to output HTML just right so it works. I suppose that others have encountered this weirdness before. Thoughts?

If you want to change the ZSQL connection id's, you could use an external method together with "ZopeFind" (--> ZQR). "ZopeFind" would return a list of all Z SQL methods. You would apply your external method to each such object. The method would set "connection_id" to a new id. Dieter

Zope's startup script sometimes defines "PYTHONHOME". The result could be that Zope looks at a different place for "site-packages" than you expect. Dieter

login, permission and REQUEST env
by Stefan Berthold 08 May '01

08 May '01

Hi! I'm trying to manage a school-paper homepage with zope... during the last two weeks I got several problems that I couldn't solve with zope book and other documentation... hope there's somebody who have some answers: (1) For article management I need to login some users but this (let's call them) editors don't need the permission to view management screens (they will use html-formulars to manage their articles)... till now I couldn't find a way to login users without this permission (e.g. through a regular html-form and a dtml method). (2) Owners of dtml documents usually have the permission to change and delete their documents... but how can I discover if somebody have this (implicitly) given Owner role? (3) (Not just) For a kind of skin technology I need parameters that are user specific (REQUEST variables)... to set and analyse them may be no problem - but how can include new parameters to the old URL without deleting the old parameters? What I need is a way to add parameters to the REQUEST environment... If there are some hints in the official documentation I would be very interested in... otherwise I hope somebody can help with some smart examples or a hint. -- Stefan Berthold <dingx(a)web.de> Zivilist in Lauerstellung GnuPG: 4222 F68D E39F FE43 423A 5624 3A3D F1D7 4EF0 C45A FAX/VoiceBox: +49 180 50529 6341739

I think could write a python script (or dtml-method) which recurses through the subfolder and searches for ZSQL-methods. If it finds one it calls manage_edit(self, title, connection_id, arguments, template) with the right arguments. from zope 2.3.2's help: manage_edit(self, title, connection_id, arguments, template) Change database method properties. The connection_id argument is the id of a database connection that resides in the current folder or in a folder above the current folder. The database should understand SQL. The arguments argument is a string containing an arguments specification, as would be given in the SQL method cration form. The template argument is a string containing the source for the SQL Template. cheers, oliver

Re: [Zope] Authentication for outside users

See > http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/Security.dtml -- particularly > the parts right after Figure 6-1. Do you mean by anonymous user - role Anonymous, ie no roles? So when IP address is "inside" then user gets Anonyomus role otherwise user must have role? Idea is good but then I must give access for Anonymous which means everybody has access. Which means no IP blocking is done and I'm back where I started from... :( So I thought make two users - "insider" and "outsider" and give "Guest" role. Outsider has password and insider has not. Gave correct domains. And I removed all anonymous access. Still login is required from both. They don't get automatically that role like book says. Sven
