WebDAV directory browsing
by Lucas Taylor 09 Feb '01

09 Feb '01

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to disable directory browsing through WebDAV. When using IE5's web folder support, and connecting to the Zope server, I am able to view all of the objects in the root folder and down (Control Panel, etc...). This doesn't happen with a standard http request, where I'll either be served the index_html object, or get a resource not found error if there is none. If I try to create folders or copy files from a local system to the Zope server via WebDAV, I am asked for a password, so that seems to work fine. Using Zope 2.3/Python 2.0 on FreeBSD Thank you, Lucas Taylor

Using a Postgres database
by Kit O'Connell 09 Feb '01

09 Feb '01

A user of my Zope site I'm developing for work needs access through Zope to a postgres database. I poked around in the helpfiles a bit but haven't been able to find anything that will tell me how to do this. I gather I have to add a source so that when I 'Add a Z Gadfly Database Connection' I can see it. I don't know where to start though. Any help would be appreciated, even if it is as simple as pointing me to the right documentation. Cheers, Kit

Mananged to dodge the problem by upgrading to a slightly newer version of the product that changes the naming scheme of the files to one that doesn't include and URL-illegal characters. But neat trick with the python script... Hadn't thought of that, but I'll remember it in case I ever run into a similar problem... > > Dieter -- Geoffrey L.

Zope-Video was: 2.3.0 really not Beta?

OK, it is on http://www.goeldi.com/video The unzipped video is in AVI format. It is only about the /manage and the clicking on "change" and on "view". Not more. As I mentioned, it is done for dummy managers who think Content Management is only possible with GoLive or frontp~1.age It is in German. And there is - of course - promotion for my service. But you wanted it ...

>LocalFS is one we are picking on, but a good example of a rock solid cool >product that dies on Zope 2.3. Multiply this with many products and people >assume Zope 2.3 has problems. One solution would be to introduce a section with every product called "tested on 2.1.6, 2.2.0, 2.2.2" etc. I missed this e.g. for some other Products too, which were compatible with Zope 2.1.6 but not with 2.2.x. There was no comment about this on the Product site. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
