strange behaviour with zclass method and emacs
by Oliver Frommel 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

Hi, while editing Zope content with Emacs I discovered the following strange behaviour: There's a ZClass (base classes ZObject, ZDTMLDocument and container, which itself has the base classes ZObject, CatalogAwareBase, ZObjectManager) containing three DTML documents at this moment. Now I can edit two of them with no problem, while opening index_html always tells me (New File). However this file already exists and is editable via the management interface. The former version of index_html, now called index_html_simple is editable normally, also the other DTML document. The index_html of the ZClass "container" is also editable from Emacs with no problems. Is this a bug? I am running Zope 2.3.0 and Linux on the Server, GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i386-suse-linux) as a client. --Oliver

Zope on FreeBsd
by Patrick 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

Hi, I am a zope newbie and have just managed to get zope server running on port 8080 on FreeBsd. I read the zope book and it helped alot only that I still do not know how to: 1- Do virtual hosting- (name based virtual hosting) 2- I have not been able to get pcgi running properly with apache which is my default webserver especially as Bsd does not seem to pass authentication via the <location> directive. I have tried using the <directory> directive with the directory containing my Zope.cgi as the script aliased directory and what happens is that I get authenticated by apache but after that, I get an HTTP 404 error response. Can someone help me out here or point me to any Howto's that are Bsd oriented? Thanx in advance. And, I think that Zope is a great product, especially as it is so powerful and yet avalable as open source. Patrick.

ZSQL: ValueError, Duplicate column name
by Andreas Hölzl 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

hi, i have the following problem when using ZSQL with special SQL-queries: When creating a simple ZSQL-method for quering two different tables with both a column of the same name like SELECT person.last_changed, work.last_changed FROM person, work a ValueError "Duplicate column name" occurs. I located the "problem" in "lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/Results.py": 123: if schema.has_key(name): 124: raise ValueError, 'Duplicate column name, %s' % name I made a workaround with an external python method directly quering the database. But my question is: Is there also a workaround with dtml/ZSQL? I do not think that it is a good idea to force unique table column names for a complex database. Whats the reason for this limitation? dtml-var ? Thanks in advance, Andreas Hölzl Freiburg, Germany

FYI, I've put up the various comments for possible discussion points on an Enterprise Zope BOF: http://www.zope.org/Members/paul/EnterpriseZopeBOF.html As for date and time...dunno. How about 7PM, just after the CMF BOF, same location?

Some doubt about how to best assign user rights.
by Max Møller Rasmussen 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

I have the following hierachy: school class 1 student 1 student 1 content student 2 content etc. student 2 student 3 etc. class 2 class 3 etc. And basically there is three different typs of users: Administrators Teachers Students My problem is that I want to give each student the right to edit the content in their own folder. Their folder is a zClass that subclasses objectmanager, and they can only add certain other classes. Now how do I best set out to do that? It should also be easy for the teacher to administer his students. The options I can see: - Make an acl_users folder in each student folder, and give the student the admin role in that folder. That would work but seems a bit longwinded. - Make a student an owner of a folder? (I am not really shure what consequences that would have) Regards Max M

Importing external document
by ASHISHRANJAN_V 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

For that I used external method : import urllib def fetch_url(self, url): return urllib.urlopen(url).read() And called it in index_html file as : <dtml-var standard_html_header>    <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Problem is when it fetches the html page , it also changes the relative links in html page . Is there a way I can make the links point to respective resource at orignal site. Ie use the parameter url to be embedded in html link Like href="/help" Converted to href="url/help" Ashish R Vidyarthi mailto:ashishranjan_v@infy.com

hi, I will create a file using python method and it will be in root directory of Linux server. Now I would like to add it to Zope as a file. file means as we add from "Add available Objects"(here it will ask us to browse from windows machine.) I would like to add by writing Dtml method.(it must take from the Linux machine.) How to do that. subrahmanya.

very cool. first impression :- it does make making zope products easier. i will give it a shot and hope that i can churnout zope products like you experienced mages :) this is similar to mkzprod... almost, except that mkzprod is zclass like. thanks -----Original Message----- From: Paul T <paul(a)pault.com> To: zope-announce(a)zope.org <zope-announce(a)zope.org> Cc: zope(a)zope.org <zope(a)zope.org>; Chris McDonough <chrism(a)digicool.com> Date: Monday, March 05, 2001 6:00 AM Subject: [Zope] ANNOUNCE.

Mixing VirtualHostMonster, ProxyPass and RewriteRules
by Itai Tavor 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

Hi, I'm using ProxyPass and VirtualHostMonster to serve Zope with Apache, and I want to add the force-manage-on-https trick that was mentioned recently, as well as serve some static Apache content. My problem is that I need to use RewriteRules to achieve these things, and RewriteRules don't seem to work alongside ProxyPass. I guess I could replace the ProxyPass with rewriteRules for accessing the Zope server, but then I lose the transparent proxy. And that would be a shame. My main server config is: <VirtualHost _default_:80> RewriteEngine on RewriteLog logs/rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 9 RewriteRule ^/manual(.*) /manual/$1 [L] # Access Apache's manual RewriteRule manage(.*)$ / [F] # Block access to management screens ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/10.0.1.20:80/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/10.0.1.20:80/ ProxyPass /misc_ http://localhost:8080/misc_ ProxyPass /p_ http://localhost:8080/p_ ProxyVia on </VirtualHost> But the RewriteRules are being ignored. They work ok if I disable the ProxyPass directives.
