Properties and naming...

Hi. How come a ZClass can have PropertySheet with properties named like 'Måndag', but if you create a python product and inherit from PropertyManager and add 'Måndag' to _properties, you get an syntax error on the 'å'? You get the same error in you try to do something with the variable in a Python Script. The ZCatalog on the other hand, deals with the propertie just fine. So, the question is, is 'Måndag' a valid propertie name? /Magnus

Proper Case function
by Tommy Johnson 06 May '01

06 May '01

Hello all, I'm looking for a proper case function --> something that will return the string "Category" from the string "category". It doesn't have to worry about if the string is a proper name, but that would be nice. I'm just trying to figure out if a function exists that will capitalize the first letter of a string (or if I have to script something). Thanks in advance, Tommy _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

I select and copy/cut in the source, move to destination and click "paste". For me, at least, it would be much more helpful, if the controlling buttons would be both at top and bottom. Dieter

broken root security tab
by Dave Ahn 06 May '01

06 May '01

Hello, I recently upgraded to Zope 2.3.2 and added several new products. Sometime during that process, my root security tab stopped working with: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: string member test needs char left operand A quick mailing list search indicates that it is probably related to a missing ',' in one of the products, but I am just guessing. How can I track down the source of this error? I tried to run the python debugger, but trying to access Zpublish.Zope('/manage_access') simply denies access. I'm rather new to Zope debugging, so any help would be appreciated.

I did not spend much time in that part of the translation because there is a comment on the listActions method saying that it will be configurable through the portal_actions UI. BTW: Erich Seifert has found some typo and made some other suggestions. A new version of the translation and a small how-to will be available soon.

I did something earlier that lead me to assume that this was not the case, but I went back to verify it and I see that what you say is correct. My day is really looking up. If I had been right about that, I would have been in a world of hurt. >(Hence, why the >superuser can't own objects.) Of course. That makes perfect sense. Thank you for the correction!

Running Zope 2.3.2 you are right, quoting will be fixed in the next release (we use psycopg much more than ZPsycopgDA, so this one still has some rought edges...) btw, what does 'type=nb' means?

security risk in "many authors" situation
by Kyler B. Laird 06 May '01

06 May '01

I've been working on "security" from a perspective of users/authors not being able to do more than what they're granted permission to do. I finally realized that there's a huge risk in a system like ours with many untrusted authors creating contnet to be viewed by trusted users. If, for example, a student makes a page as part of his homework, any commands he puts in it will be executed with the privileges of his professor when it is checked. This is a bit like getting someone to run your own script in UNIX, but vastly more likely. Any ideas for getting around this? I'm stumped. I want to be able to do this in many situations, but certainly it can be devastating in some. Thank you. --kyler
