Place it high in the Zope hierarchy, such that it is available by acquisition where it is needed. Use it as an index in your ZCatalog.

A relational database gives you SQL. For atomic field values, SQL is much more powerful than the current ZCQI (Zope Catalog Query Interface). You can combine queries over different tables, combine subqueries with and/or/not almost arbitrary, have lots of functions to be used for the query results or in the where clause. However, many relational databases do not support efficient text searches. Then, I would look for ZCatalog (if I do not get too many objects (10.000 to 100.000), or for a database system with text query support. Dieter

How to add dtml-docs to Favorites links folder within CMF?ed?
by Ausum 07 May '01

07 May '01

This is a question I've previously posted at Zope-CMF, and haven't had an answer until this moment. I'm transfering previous dtml documents and directories to CMF, and I want to enable them to be stored at the "Favorites" folders of the users. Loging and logouts seem the work this way (by modifying header&footer skins), but the addtofavorites feature don't. Is there a workaround? Is it possible to turn all those previous documents into CMF-savvy, while keeping all the standard dtml docs and methods features like direct editing? Thanks in advance, Ausum

Someone else currently has similar problems (--> mailing list archives). He found out, that delete all Z Instances from a folder removed the problem. See my answer to his problem report on how I would try to analyse the problem. Dieter

Authentication for outside users
by Sven Syld 07 May '01

07 May '01

Hello, How could I do so that only users from a certain IP address will need to authenticate - outsiders? Others - insiders - will not. If I disable anonymous access and make new role with two users - outsider and insider. But authentication window will pop up for both of them even if I leave password blank. Can I automatically authenticate in DTML? Also redirecting into login screen in standard_html_header pops into my mind. But it is ugly. And unsecure. Sven

Has there been any work on a rich-gui editor and one that is more integrated with a HTML/XML/XHTML editor outside of just using WEBDAV with Dreamweaver or something. Something where its almost like your in the same IDE to do everything - build objects in Zope, edit web content, build html files etc.??? David Kovach dave(a)kovach.com Jon >> Has anyone else played with Boa Constructor - http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/ ? It's open-source, written in Python, and already has some built-in Zope-specific editing facilities (it's a Python IDE and wxPython builder). Also does some basic HTML editing functions. Seems like it has a lot of potential, specially if more Zopistas contributed their ideas? Maybe it could be combined with some of the XML-RPC editing ideas (such as http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/01/xmlrpc/index.html )? Just a newbie's two-pennorth! :-) Cheers, Jon

[ANN] ZShell 0.4 devel
by Jerome Alet 07 May '01

07 May '01

Hi, for those of you who might be interested I've put a 0.4 developpment version of ZShell 0.4 online at: http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/zshell/ This is largely untested however, and is only for people who want to Zope (!) on the bleeding edge. It features a better look, some bug fixes, and a separation of the pseudo I/O channels stdin, stdout and stderr from the HTML output itself. It doesn't feature any new interesting command compared to 0.3 however, nor it does any security assertion, yet ! Please report any bug or comment to me, thanks in advance.

Passing variable to a python script
by Mehmet Yousouf 07 May '01

07 May '01

Hi, I'm trying out python scripts and can't get the variables posted from a form accross. I'm calling the script from a dtml method via <dtml-var python-script-name> but keep getting "unknown variable" as the error .. it's a simple script that adds two numbers together (x = first_number + second_number) and first_number, second_number are from the form. The show answer method can display both variables (<dtml-var first_number>) I'm using python 2 (compiled zope from source) is this the problem? if it is, can I run python 2 with pyton 1.52? Regards, Mehmet
