manage_listLocalRoles user entry needed
by Kyler B. Laird 28 Jan '01

28 Jan '01

I've read that some people are at least thinking about user management systems that go beyond the "handful of users" systems currently supported by Zope. (I'm working on one today.) As a baby step toward supporting these systems, I propose that manage_listLocalRoles provide a text box for entering users in addition to (or, in my case, instead of) allowing them to be chosen from the select list. The kludge I've been using is another form that is defined in the root folder that imitates manage_listLocalRoles, but has the text input instead of the select list. This works, but it requires the user to know to use it instead of just selecting "local roles." Times like this make me think about an infrastructure that would easily allow admins to override pages without changing them every time a package is installed. Hmmm... Thank you. --kyler

Script to do various 'manage_' operations
by Tim Hicks 28 Jan '01

28 Jan '01

I have been trying to get hold of a script that can automatically convert various dtml methods to custom zclass instances. I found a script on the zope mailing list (see bottom) I put my file (see below) in the Extensions directory and added an external method from within zope. This all appeared to go fine. To execute the script, I made a method that simply had <dtml-call conscript()> and then standard_h_h etc. The problem is, nothing seems to happen. I can view the method that was supposed to run the script, but the call doesn't seem to work. Within the filesystem, there is no file called tempo (as a kind of log of what's been done), and the methods with extension .shtml certainly do not get changed to dtml documents. Has anyone done this before? Can you shed any light on what I'm doing wrong? Much obliged. tim Script from zope(a)zope.org ------- import re def convert_dtml(self): """Convert DTML Methods and DTML Documents from old syntax to new syntax. Warning: recursive! This assumes that DTML Method and DTML Document haven't been subclassed. """ print 'convert_dtml: id=%s' % self.title_and_id() if hasattr(self, 'meta_type') and \ (self.meta_type == 'DTML Method' or \ self.meta_type == 'DTML Document'): convert(self) # should this be "isPrincipiaFolderish"? if hasattr(self, 'isAnObjectManager') and self.isAnObjectManager: for v in self.objectValues(): v.convert_dtml() _convert_regex = re.compile('''''') def convert(dtml_item): print 'converting...' title = dtml_item.title # like document_src, but doesn't require RESPONSE data = dtml_item.PrincipiaSearchSource() print '----data----' print data newdata = _convert_regex.sub('<\g<1>dtml-\g<2>>', data) print '----newdata----' print newdata print '----end----' dtml_item.manage_edit(newdata, title) ------ And here is how I adjusted it for my purposes: ------ import re get_shtml = re.compile('\w+\.shtml') f = open("tempo", "w+") def convert_dtml(self): """Convert DTML Methods and DTML Documents from old syntax to new syntax.

Updated Quickstart for Zope 2.3.0
by Jon Franz 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

I noticed that 2.3 didn't update the quickstart materials, and that the quickstart materials still used the old server-side-include syntax internally and in their examples. To make matters worse, the ZSQL method examples didn't use sqlvar - thus were unsafe. I updated the complete quickstart to fix these problems and have sent a copy to Brian Lloyd for future use. Attached is the updated quickstart for your use in a win32 winzip archive - sorry, I don't have access to any other archive tools at the moment. Enjoy!

BUG: 2.3.0 Final? - ZCatalog
by Tim Cook 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

When importing a .zexp from a (2.2.5) site into 2.3.0 I get the below traceback (reproduceable). I have imported other apps with catalogs that did not generate this error. I was able to narrow it down to one particular folder with a catalog. Any ideas on how to find out (if it is in my code) what is causing this error? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'append' Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_importObject) File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_importObject) File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 566, in manage_importObject (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 300, in _setObject (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 308, in manage_afterAdd (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 308, in manage_afterAdd (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/CatalogAwareness.py, line 114, in manage_afterAdd (Object: CatalogAware) File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/CatalogAwareness.py, line 184, in index_object (Object: CatalogAware) File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/ZCatalog.py, line 408, in catalog_object (Object: Traversable) File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/Catalog.py, line 382, in catalogObject File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/SearchIndex/UnTextIndex.py, line 393, in index_object File /usr/local/zope/2.3/lib/python/SearchIndex/UnTextIndex.py, line 305, in insertReverseIndexEntry AttributeError: (see above) -- Tim Cook, President -- Free Practice Management,Inc. | http://www.FreePM.com Office: (901) 884-4126 "Liberty has never come from the government." - Woodrow Wilson

Problem with cut and paste
by Jerome Alet 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

Hi, I'm trying to modify OFS/dtml/main.dtml and OFS/CopySupport.py in order to create a shortcut button to cut an object and paste it in the parent object in one click, because I think this may save lots of boring clicks, at least for me. When I call the following method from the management interface (main.dtml) then I receive this error: "The data in the clipboard could not be read, possibly due to cookie data being truncated by your web browser. Try copying fewer objects." But when I call if from a PythonScript it works fine. My method, bound to a MoveUp button of my own: --CUT--- def manage_moveupObjects(self, ids=None, REQUEST=None): """Moves the selected objects to the parent objets (e.g. Folder)""" if ids is None and REQUEST is not None: return eNoItemsSpecified elif ids is None: raise ValueError, 'ids must be specified' if type(ids) is type(''): ids=[ids] if hasattr(self, 'aq_parent') and hasattr(self.aq_parent, 'manage_pasteObjects') : cb_copy_data = self.manage_cutObjects(ids, REQUEST) return self.aq_parent.manage_pasteObjects(cb_copy_data, REQUEST) ---CUT--- If I call self.aq_parent.manage_pasteObjects with None as the first parameter then it works fine from the management interface but not from a PythonScript: I receive a "No clipboard data found" error. Please could someone explain me what the problem is ? (I want it to work both from the management interface and from Python) thanks in advance Jerome Alet

"headers" is a dictionary (and thereby a mapping from keys to values). You access the value associated a mapping's "key" with mapping[key]. Thus, in your case, "uploaded_file.headers['Content-Type']" should give you the content type provided the browser has sent it. By the way, most mappings (and certainly all dictionaries) provide methods "keys", "values" and "items" to obtain information about the mapping as lists. With then, you can analyse, what the browser did send you. Dieter

where are the pages stored?
by Horatio B. Bogbindero 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

thanks to all those who helped me the URL passing thing! this has definitely made my zope life better. btw, were does zope store the template pages and objects? i tried do look into the folders but i could not seem to find it. is there are a way of moving this document root to a different folder? also the reason why i have so many questions is because i could not find the zope documentation set in the zope source distribution. can someone point me out the distribution so that i can read the fine manual(RTFM) instead. thanks. -------------------------------------- William Emmanuel S.

Zope Entry Flame
by Jason Cunliffe 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

<site design flame> Ok so under the famous heading called 'Zope Exits' there's this tiny list on the left hand margin at www.zope.org home page Surely what is missing are the key 'Into Zope' or 'Zope Entry' items? - link directly to ZBook - lnk directly to join up zope(a)zope.org mailing list. This appears through out the site. There is all that blue space which is not being intelligently used. Misleading behavior from such exceedingly smart people. Please don't misundestand me. I know you are all cranking out amazing work, super new 2.3++ versions, patches hiperdoms, zpatterns, racks etc.. You are brilliant. I love you.. but doesn't anyone here on this list or anyone at DC think its no time to at least _discuss_ the site with some creative minds. Talk to some people who understand web design + interface, talk to people who care about these tools, AND how they can should be presented. Of course I do not mean rush headlong into expensive dumbdotcom superficiality remodelling, or stuff which will slow the site down... Thasnk god those deays are behind us. On the contrary, things which express lucidity, light, fast organized presentation, awareness of users new and old, connectivity, access to relevant links, deeper smarter sorting and selection devices. We know that Zope can do it. But first review please some options and ideas. Explore ideas about how the Python and Zope home sites can, could and should be configurable, user+context color keying of sections, smarter naviagtoin, add some style [it's not 1995], Honestly it is to think freshly about both the Zope and Python sites and ask how they could efficiently be modelled as really ueseful + inspiring Python-Zope showcase sites. There is more here at stake than window dressing. There are all the hands-on issues: - workflow - how sophisticated progammers using awesome tools can work with different skillsets - make to manage adaptive graphic and user interface design with these new dynamic websites - something beautiful and special </flame> :Jason ___________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS['Interactive Art and Technology']

BUG with a patch
by Jerome Alet 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

Hi, the way the manage_renameObjects() method was coded made it impossible to exchange two objects ids in one pass, e.g. rename Obj1 to Obj2 and Obj2 to Obj1. The attached patch seems to correct this problem, however a better temporary id construction method is needed. I've tried to submit it to the colector but I don't know if it succeeded. hoping this will help Jerome Alet
