Hello, I execute this DTML Method : <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('xdate', ZopeTime())"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('xdate2', xdate + 0.020832)"> Now : <dtml-var xdate> <BR> 30 minutes : <dtml-var xdate2> <BR> 0.020832 is the result of (1 day / 24 hours / 60 minutes) * 30 minutes I launched it at 10H35 : Now : 2001/05/03 10:35:03.05544 GMT+1 30 minutes : 2001/05/03 10:05:02.94628 GMT+1 I received 10:05 instead of 11:05 I launched it again at 12H20 : Now : 2001/05/03 12:20:52.6986 GMT+1 30 minutes : 2001/05/03 11:50:52.5834 GMT+1 I received 11:50 instead of 12:50 I think there is a bug here or I made a mistake ?

I clicked of cancel and i saw following error: "Access denied for /users/in/SampleDocbookDocs/sampleChapter/e1986/CharacterData/getData because its container, /users/in/SampleDocbookDocs/sampleChapter/e1986/CharacterData, has no security assertions." Can someone help me. I don't found information about this problem and i'm new with zope and python. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Isabelle

Making users work
by Malcolm Box 03 May '01

03 May '01

Hi all, As a Zope newbie (sorry!), I'm deeply confused by how to make users work the way I want. The site I am developing is an "ideas" site, where people can vote on ideas and post new ideas. What I want to achieve is that everyone can access the content or vote anonymously, but to post they have to log in. As this is an intranet site, the WinNT domain controller already has a list of every possible user and a password, so I want to use this to authenticate who people are, and I certainly don't want to have to create and maintain a Zope user for each and every person in the organization! When people try to post without logging in, I want to send them to a page explaining the login requirements and giving them a login form, rather than popping up a http authenticate dialog. To say that I have no clue how to go about this is an understatement. I think there are three parts to this - one is the login form, the other is setting the right permissions on the posting form and the third is accessing the NT user database. I've looked at LoginManager, acl_users and various howtos, but I can't work out how to put it all together, despite my feeling that it's all there somewhere :-) So could anyone outline how to go about this - pointers to dtml source, howtos etc gratefully received.

Displaying the current date
by Andreas Pauley 03 May '01

03 May '01

Hi, How do I display the current server-side date with DTML? Thanks, Andreas. -- ... Any resemblance between the above views and those of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. Any resemblance between the above and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader. The question of the existence of the reader is left as an exercise for the second god coefficient. (A discussion of non-orthogonal, non-integral polytheism is beyond the scope of this article.)

Browser sniffing for wireless devices
by Chris Muldrow 03 May '01

03 May '01

Anyone doing browser sniffing with Zope to determine whether a user is coming in with and HDML or WML-enabled phone? I've got some leads on this, but I REALLY don't want to have to check for every USER_AGENT available. Is there a good way to check and see A) if it's a WML device B) If not, if it's an HDML device C) If it's not, is it an HTML device? AND another wireless Zope conundrum. I'm serving some HDML pages from Zope. When I feed a Content-Type: text/x-hdml with the page, it doesn't show up on my Verizon Motorola 2260 phone. When I don't send the content-type, it does show up. The opposite is true on the Phone.com SDK phone browser--without a content-type, it chokes, but with a content type, it works. Any enlightenment? Thankee! -- Chris Muldrow, muldrow(a)mac.com

TUX and Zope? + ab results
by Jason Byron 03 May '01

03 May '01

This may sound silly, but do you think it would be feasably to get some more speed out of Zope by combining it with TUX (the linux kernel based web server) ? Maybe build the python interpreter into it ? I know, speed isn't important, abstraction is better, yada yada yada. It's just totally cool to see results like this, and I want to make Zope as cool as possible. 1000 requests, 100 at a time TUX 2898.55 Requests per second AOLserver 603.14 Requests per second Apache 502.51 Requests per second Zope 60.57 Requests per second bear in mind this is my piece of crap celery 700 with 128Megs RAM __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Can my Catalog problem problem be caused by the VirtualHostMonste r
by Max Møller Rasmussen 03 May '01

03 May '01

All my content got indexed before I installed the VirtualHostMonster and now the url in the search result doesn't seem right, and I cannot use the "Update Catalog" as it gives me an error message. Some searches gives me strange results too. Regards Max M

Out of the Box = ZopeApplianceWorld
by Jason Cunliffe 03 May '01

03 May '01

Hello I am very interesting in gathering info on Web Appliances, and any network savvy devices which could play well with Zope. One example: SitePlayer http://www.siteplayer.com/ <quote> SitePlayer, the World's smallest Ethernet web server. The first product in a family of embedded web servers designed to enable any microprocessor-based device to become web enabled easily and inexpensively. In approximately one square inch, SitePlayer includes a web server, 10baseT Ethernet controller, flash web page memory, graphical object processor, and a serial device interface. SitePlayer developer kit is $99.95. SitePlayer modules are : $49.95 in 1-9 QTY, $19.95 in 100000-999,999 QTY Includes software licensing fees. For high volume or surface mount applications, SitePlayer chip sets are available. </quote> Going further, If there is interest I will set up a collborative Zope site for posting news, reviews, brainstorming, & pursing scenarios and how-to using embedded devices, media i/o, Zope design strategy for creative in- and out-of-the-box Zope-based applications. - Set-Top [Embedded] Box Zope - Webphone Zope - Embedded Zope - Zope for Transport - Medical Zope - Zope for Artists - Zope Web Mapping - Zope for Schools - Urban Zope - Bodega Zope - Zope for Restaurants - ZopeCams - LargeScreenZope - Zope at the Airport[Train/Bus/FerryStation] - etc Instead of getting bogged down answering the question "What is Zope?", I suggest "What can people do with Zope?". I am particularly interested in public and community applications, including art and media related. There is so much great Zope development work taking place, but the broader context of web applications, why/how seems to have lost some spark. Wher do we go from here..? I natturally want to play to Zope strengths: free, cross-platform, TTW, openSource, etc. Discussing ideas will also bring out where Zope is lacking or ill-suited. ..interested? - JASON ___________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS['Interactive Art and Technology']

So what you need to do is uncheck ALL the aquire permissions settings apart from the ones that you do not mind being public... THEN you MUST make sure that you explicitly define ALL the permissions for the different roles because it will not inherit - make that aquire - any from any of the containers higher up in the heirachy...
