AccessRule rewriting for queries
by Joel Burton 15 Mar '01

15 Mar '01

Part of my criteria for a site is to eliminate ugly URLs where possible. So, instead of http://foo/authors/search?name=plath I'd like http://foo/authors/plath I've handled this (mishandled this?) with a SiteAccess scipt in the authors folder: <dtml-comment> Handle author searches like /authors/plath without ugly URLs like /author/search?name=plath Look at every request in this folder: if it's not for an existing file, then mangle it so that it becomes a request for the detail page, and set 'author' to the rest of the path </dtml-comment> <dtml-let addon="REQUEST.path[-1]"> <dtml-if "addon not in objectIds() and addon[0:6] != 'manage'"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.path.pop()"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.path.append('detail')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('author',addon)"> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> (if there is a request for something that isn't actually in this folder, and isn't a manage request, mungle it) Two questions: 1) is this terribly evil? is my site going to catch on fire one day because of this? 2) my breadcrumbs no longer work. I'm using one of the standard breadcrumb tips that runs off PARENTS, and it only shows 'Home > Authors', not 'Home > Authors > Plath' (which makes sense--Plath isn't on the PARENTS list.) However, if I add the requested author name to PARENTS (via append), everything goes haywire -- I can no longer see the ordinary stuff, like standard_html_header I could have a different breadcrumb routine in this folder, but that seems icky and hard to maintain. I'd rather figure out some way of getting the regular breadcrumb method to work properly here. Any ideas? As always, thanks for any help, -- Joel Burton <jburton(a)scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington

RE: [Zope] formatting problem...

ZMySQLDA always converts columns of MySQL type int(11) (the normal 'integer' field type) to Python Long values. The reason this is done is that the MySQL integer data type can hold values larger than the normal Python integer. Python 1.5.2 and earlier had a bug that caused a Python long to print out with the L suffix; this bug was fixed in 2.0 (and maybe 1.6, although I haven't tried it). The conversion table in ZMySQLDA can be found in lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/db.py, in the DB class: conv={ FIELD_TYPE.TIMESTAMP: _mysql_timestamp_converter, FIELD_TYPE.TINY: int, FIELD_TYPE.SHORT: int, FIELD_TYPE.LONG: long, FIELD_TYPE.FLOAT: float, FIELD_TYPE.DOUBLE: float, FIELD_TYPE.LONGLONG: long, FIELD_TYPE.INT24: int, FIELD_TYPE.YEAR: int, FIELD_TYPE.DATETIME: DateTime, FIELD_TYPE.DATE: DateTime, FIELD_TYPE.TIME: DateTime } (from ZMySQLDA-2.0.4) If these L's are causing you trouble, you can edit this code to show int in place of long for the FIELD_TYPE.LONG and FIELD_TYPE.LONGLONG. Something like this external method might also work, if you call it before making any SQL queries: def patch_ZMySQLDA_for_ints(self): from Products.ZMySQLDA.db import DB from _mysql import FIELD_TYPE DB.conv[FIELD_TYPE.LONG] = int DB.conv[FIELD_TYPE.LONGLONG] = int Note that this method would have to be called at every time your server was started, or for safety's sake before each query was run. -Randy > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Zwarts [mailto:paul.zwarts@oratrix.com] > Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 8:12 AM > To: Daniel Corrêa de Azevedo > Cc: 'zope(a)zope.org' > Subject: Re: [Zope] formatting problem... > > > Hi Daniel, > > I have had similar problems with MySQL...

formatting problem...
by Daniel Corrêa de Azevedo 15 Mar '01

15 Mar '01

Hello you all. I´m having problem in using FMT atribute of the DTML-VAR tag in dtml methods. The situation is that when I receive some integer data from a MYSQL database, I get it with a L sufix. That makes it necessary to format the data with <dtml-var key fmt="%d">. Now, the problem is that, sometimes, I need to keep on passing the data over to a few dtml methods, and when ever I need to reformat the data, I get an erro message: " Ilegal argument type for built-in operation.". I need to reformat because the data in the other dtml-methods in the sequece may be being received from the MYSQL database. How coud I reformat the data using <dtml-var key FMT="????">, even if it has already been formated by <dtml-var key fmt="%d">? Thanks, Daniel C. Azevedo

Redirect after manage
by Garikoitz Araolaza 15 Mar '01

Hi! I'm creating a very simple content management application with ZClasses and I'm creating some simple interfaces to edit the instances. How could I control the redirection after using a standard object managing method called from my methods, like manage_renameObjects or other similar methods? (I've seen RedirectURL and NoRedir... but they don`t work as I thought...) Thanks for any help Gari

Authenticating against NT domain from NT-based Zope
by Ian Sealy 15 Mar '01

15 Mar '01

Dear all, Is anyone running Zope on WinNT and authenticating against an NT domain? If so, how?! I'm running Zope on a WinNT box that's not a PDC or BDC for its domain. I want to authenticate users against this domain. My ideal solution would be to strip out the authentication code from jcNTUserFolder or NTUserFolder and put it in smbUserFolder, because I can easily generate lists of users and don't need to query a DC to get them. But I can't get the authentication to work, even if I have a simple script like this: swhome=r'C:\Program Files\Zope' import sys sys.path.insert(0, '%s/lib/python' % swhome) sys.path.insert(1, '%s/bin/lib' % swhome) sys.path.insert(2, '%s/bin/lib/plat-win' % swhome) sys.path.insert(3, '%s/bin/lib/win32' % swhome) sys.path.insert(4, '%s/bin/lib/win32/lib' % swhome) sys.path.insert(5, '%s' % swhome) import win32security token=win32security.LogonUser('Administrator','DORNIER','xxxxxx',win32security.LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK,win32security.LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT) Where DORNIER is the local machine and Administrator is running the script and has the "Access this computer from the network" and "Act as part of the operating system" rights. The error I get is: pywintypes.api_error: (1314, 'LogonUser', ' A required privilege is not held by the client.') What am I doing wrong? Can anybody point me towards some documentation for win32security? Can anyone point me to some documentation for the win32security.NetUserChangePassword function mentioned by Chris McDonough at http://classic.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-October/013032.html ? Cheers, Ian

Deleting Objects with DTML
by Steffen Bergmann 15 Mar '01

15 Mar '01

Does anyone know how to delete a ZOPE Object within a DTML Method. Something like <dtml-call "manage_delObject(id)"? I didn't found anything in the API. Or is it better directly done with a Python Skript? Steffen

It's a method of ObjectManager: def manage_delObjects(self, ids=[], REQUEST=None): so: <dtml-call expr="manage_delObjects(['firstid', 'secondid'])"> Be sure to call it on the folder you want to remove the objects from, so either use a <dtml-with myFolder>, or change the expr to "myFolder.manage_delObjects(...)". -Randy > -----Original Message----- > From: Steffen Bergmann [mailto:steffen.bergmann@friatec.de] > Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 6:41 AM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Deleting Objects with DTML > > > Does anyone know how to delete a ZOPE Object within a DTML Method. > Something like <dtml-call "manage_delObject(id)"?

RE: [Zope] enable remote maintenance

If you are looking for the Zope management interface, you need to remove the domain restrictions on your manager user. If you want to enable domain based authentication, search the list archives here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zope If that's not what you're looking for, please clarify your post.
