"Hiding" a Zope object from URL accesses
by Gerald Gutierrez 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

If I have a Z SQL method set up as /query on my Zope site, how is it possible for me to disallow direct accesses to it via a URL (like http://localhost/query) ? If I cannot, then what is the convention people use to store objects which are not supposed to be visible directly? Thanks.

Lost in name Space...

<<Sorry if you happen to see this for the third time, I have been trying to post this on egroups, but have failed on several occasions.>> Hi, Zope newbie here, a bit lost on namespaces... I have created a folder in the zope root called "RandomGreeting". Inside this folder, there is one DTML METHOD called "Greet". "Greet" contains the following line: <p><dtml-var expr="_.whrandom.choice(sayHellos)"></p> "sayHellos" is a property of the "RandomGreeting" folder, and contains 4 lines which are various ways to say hello : "Ola","Hi","Bonjour","Sawasdi". The purpose of this method is to print out a random greeting. Everytime i click "View" for this DTML Method, i get a random hello. Fine, that is exactly what I want. The problem is that I am trying to use this "method" from its parent folder (the root folder as a matter of fact). I have inserted the following bit into the top level "index_html" DTML Method of my Zope root near the begining, so that it produces a random hello on the front page everytime someone accesses it. I have tried : <dtml-var RandomGreeting.Greet> <dtml-var RandomGreeting.Greet()> <dtml-var "RandomGreeting.Greet()"> <dtml-var /RandomGreeting/Greet> all of these, to know avail. I am getting either a NameError or KeyError. I am pretty sure I'm missing a simple concept here. It is possible to call functions from child objects is it not? Please help with some enlightenment. Many thanks in advance. teep

Problem : ZCatalog (plain-text email this time)
by Fabien Germain 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

[ Sorry for those who have ever seen this email in html format, it was a mistake... ] Hello, I've got a problem with a search form. I have a ZCatalog with lots of entries. I added the index "absolute_url" in order to search by the files url. Why ? 'cause I have files in organized folders like that : ......../language_name/country_name/city_name/element I'd like to do a search on "#language_name and #country_name and #city_name" in my catalog, so I use the absolute_url. But the problem is that the search only looks the end of the absolute_url string, that's to say "element" in my exemple. How could I search in all the string ? Sorry for my bad english. Fabien.

Unfortunately it doesn't handle WebDAV or > any other Internet protocol... You might look at the 'cadaver' WebDAV client (on Unixen): http://www.webdav.org/cadaver It can browse your Zope using WebDAV (especially nice if you run the "WebDAV source port" HTTP listener), and kick down to your favorite editor to edit files. I'm liking it a lot -- the last reason to even consider using emacs is gone :) Tres. -- =============================================================== Tres Seaver tseaver(a)digicool.com Digital Creations "Zope Dealers" http://www.zope.org

TCPWatch... and closing sockets..
by Steve Spicklemire 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

I'm going to try to make a long story short... and the story isn't even over... but I'm getting close. One of our clients is a 'multimedia' company and we're working with a group there that consists mostly of artists and designers who use tools like photoshop and macromedia director. They came to us recently with a project for which they were *going* to use Macromedia Multiuser Server but the complexity of their application is significant.. long story short... I've sold them on the concept of using Zope as the 'media/personality server' for this application. They will use Director (which can post stuff to an URL and can also parse XML). So.. I'm building a framework that permits them to use their favorite tools, but I get to use *my* favorite tool too. ;-) The problem: Director is not a browser. There is no 'view source'. But (I think to myself) this is a great chance to use tcpwatch, which I've never used before. It's a little tricky since my favorite client machine is a Macintosh, and well.. lets just say that Tkinter for the mac is not perfect... not to mention there is no thread module.. but I do have a workaround that's useful (since I run Zope on a FreeBSD server, I just use tcpwatch on FreeBSD and either MI/X, or VirtualPC with Linux for my X server.. ). I noticed however that when I did a 'POST' the URL encoded arguments were lost. I found that the proxy_receiver handle_close method was never called.. so that anything in a 'last line' that didn't end in '\n' was lost. I added the following patch that shows this... but why is handle_close not called? I can only guess that the socket is not being properly closed somehow. I use lib/python/ZPublisher/Client.py to test calls to Zope and it works fine, but the asyncore/asynchat stuff never calls handle_close for proxy_receiver. Anyway... here's the patch: Comments welcome! *** ./tcpwatch_orig.py Sat Jan 20 16:55:43 2001 --- ./tcpwatch.py Sun Jan 21 16:52:11 2001 *************** *** 130,135 **** --- 130,137 ---- pos = pos + 1 else: # Last line, may be incomplete. + line = "Partial line? " + data[oldpos:] + '\r\n' + self.watch_output(line, byClient) return data[oldpos:] def cleanupRefs(self): take care, -steve
