ZClass Adding Magic Needed
by Geoffrey L. Wright 17 Jan '01

17 Jan '01

So: I have a odd little problem that I can't seem to solve. I have two zclasses. We'll call them zclass1 and zclass2. zclass2 lives inside of zclass1. zclass1 has the following two properties: id and displayOrder. zclass2 has the four properties: id, displayOrder, alignment and content. In both cases the id is an automaticly generated unique number based on ZopeTime. My problem is that I need to make a public add method that generates a new instance of zclass1 with a new instance of zclass2 inside of it. I also need to be able to control set the displayOrder of zclass1, and the alignment and content of zclass2 from the same form. The displayOrder of zclass2 will be static for the time being, but I'll ultimately need to control that as well. I hacked the default add method of zclass1 so that it generates a new instance of zclass2 each time, and using the Job Board HOWTO I managed to make a public add method. So far so good. But now I can't for the life of me figure out how to pass some form variables to one object and some to the other, especially while they have some identically named properties. Any hints on this one? //glw

Apache with Zope
by Nuno Goncalves 17 Jan '01

Hi there !! I have zope and apache listeners in one machine !! Is there any way to have only apache receiving requests for zope and apache, without having two listeners ??? I'm thinking of some module that provide zope funcionalaty to apache ! Without having ProxyPass and RewriteRule directives !!! Is this not possible ? If you have some ideas, just shoot them :) Best regards thanks in advance Nuno

Form data type coercion syntax and javascript
by Mayers, Philip J 17 Jan '01

17 Jan '01

Not a problem per-se, just a query - how are people dealing with things like this: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <FORM> <SELECT MULTIPLE NAME="test"> </SELECT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function populate(form) { for (var i=0;i<4;i++) { form.test.options[i] = new Option("Red"+i,"color_red"); if (i == 0) form.test.options[i].selected = true; } return false; } </SCRIPT> <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" onClick="populate(this.form)" VALUE="Fill in"> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Go"> </FORM> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> If a user selects multiple values, of the dynamic list, Zope will coerce them to a list when the form is input. *BUT*, if they select a single value, it'll be a single string/integer. Normally, you'd do this: <SELECT NAME="test:list"> But how do you access it from JavaScript then? I'm doing this: function populate(form) { var list = form; for (var j=0;j<form.length;j++) { if (form.elements[j].name == "test:list") list = form.elements[j]; } if (list == form) return false; for (var i=0;i<4;i++) { list.options[i] = new Option("Red"+i,"color_red"); if (i == 0) list.options[i].selected = true; } return false; } Anything more elegant?

Zope with SSL on Cobalt RAQ3
by Blandford, Simon [BSS Audio UK] 17 Jan '01

17 Jan '01

Does anyone have any experience doing this? I have been beating my head trying to get this thing to work because the RAQ2 Apache is customised and doesn't take kindly to trying to add mod_proxy etc. No one in the RAQ2 user groups seems to know how to get this to work so I thought I would see if anyone in Zope land knew. I have read the SSL page at http://www.zope.org/Members/unfo/apache_zserver_ssl but it isn't quite as straight forward on the Cobalt server. Regards, Simon B.

From: Chris Withers [mailto:chrisw@nipltd.com] >> problem. Zope is more closed in that regard. Well anyways when you know >> enough about Zope to make a hack, you probably also know how to do it the >> right way. >Sadly, that's true, but changing I think... Oh don't misunderstand me. I am just about getting over the "Zope wall" and it has been well worth the climb. Everything is so much faster than in any other system I program in. OK a hitcounter I could probably do faster in php or asp, but that's not really the problems I try to solve. For real world web application I have yeat to see anything beat Zope/Python. You just got to accept to do it the "Zope way" or you will be in a world of pain. :-) People like me who has used asp, php etc. for years has better forget what we know when starting on Zope, and then take it 1 step at a time. Sometimes in the process I have been so tired of Zope and tried to think out a smarter way to do things and then after having a heureka moment when I get a brilliant idea, I have nearly allways thought a little bit harder about it and discovered that Zope usually does it that way allready. So learn to live with the quirks and Just Do It. Regards Max (Zope on)

I don't know if it is something like this you mean: self.document.form['test:list'].value = 'stuff to fill in'; or perhaps? self.document.form['test:list'] = new Option("Red"+i,"color_red"); regards Max M

Hi ! I saw your how-to in www.aope.org and i wonder...do you know if it is possible to have an ProxyPass in a virtualhost running on port 443 to another ssl server ??? something like running zope on port 443 and do a ProxyPass /zopeFiles/ https://zope.secure.com/zopeFiles/ thanks in advance Nuno _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Peter, you could also avoid the capitalized style by using [...] or <a href=...></a> for your links instead.

Zope and Linux flavors
by Ragnar Beer 17 Jan '01

17 Jan '01

Howdy Zopistas! These days I came to the conclusion that I might need to investigate a bit on Linux as an alternative base for running Zope. So far I've been using OpenBSD which is a real timesaver when it comes to setting up a secure server which is my first priority over anything else. What I'd like to know is: Which Linux distributions are you using for running Zope and how easy it was for you to maximize security of your server? Ragnar
