To properly reference your frames by their absolute urls, instead of this: <frame name="A" src="<dtml-var top>"> <frame name="B" src="<dtml-var main>"> Try this: <frame name="A" src="<dtml-var "top.absolute_url()">"> <frame name="B" src="<dtml-var "main.absolute_url()">"> -PSJ

Help getting zope to do frames!
by Scott Chapman 11 Jan '01

11 Jan '01

I am trying to get some frames to work where you can load a url and have a frame around it. I created a folder called test. I tried loading http://ipaddress/test and I get a recursion of frames and have to stop it loading. Here's the contents of the test folder. I'm very new to Zope and HTML so I'm probably missing something which should be obvious but I've been trying this for quite a while and can't figure it out. Can someone help me get this working? I want this to be set up so that I can open a URL and have the frame automatically loaded around it. Depending on the URL, a different frame will be loaded. It seems this is something Zope should be ideal for. Inside test are 3 DTML methods and 2 DTML documents: DTML Methods: id: standard_html_header title: Standard Html Header <html><head><title>Frames in Rows</title></head> <frameset rows="65,*"> <frame name="A" src="<dtml-var top>"> <frame name="B" src="<dtml-var main>"> </frameset> id: standard_html_footer title: Standard Html Footer </HTML> id: index_html title: index <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> DTML Documents: id: main title: Main Frame Contents <html><head><title>Main Frame Contents 1</title></head> <body> <h1>Main Frame Contents 1</H1> </body> </html> id: top title: top_frame <html><head><title>Top page of Frame</title></head> <body> <h1> This goes in the top frame</H1> </body> </html> Thanks! Scott.

Problem with zope.org?
by Joachim Werner 11 Jan '01

11 Jan '01

Hi! I'm getting this or similar errors quite frequently these days: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /foo. Reason: Document contains no data Additionally, a 502 Bad Gateway error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.12 Server at www.zope.org Port 80 This seems to be a problem with zope.org, not my local stuff. Cheers, Joachim.

hi, I have worldpilot almost working on a latest version of zope on NT. The only problem is that when reading a message I don't get the text of the message, everything else is file. The docs mention something about setting the default domain, how do I do that? thanks, tom --------------------------------------------------- WorldPilot - Get Synced - http://www.worldpilot.org The Open Source Personal Information Manager Server Powered by Python and Zope - http://www.zope.org

Zope vs. java solutions : looking forward ?
by Henk Schets 11 Jan '01

11 Jan '01

Hi, We are planning a major update of our site (i.e. building a new one). At the moment our site is based on php,cgi, MySql and Apache on Linux. However, for the new site, we are considering other 'platforms' like Zope or Enhydra. I find Zope an elegant solution for our new site because we will be relying heavily on non-technical people contributing articles for publication. But the problem is this : the development will be made by a small commercial firm (the guys who work there are friends) and they are biased towards a java solution because they think this will be a standard for the future. They do not want to invest in learning Zope en end up in not being able to sell their acquired knowledge in this. I should note that, at the moment, they have no experience in Java nor Python, so they will have to learn one or the other. The problem I will be facing is the maintenance of the site and adding new features. What do you guys think ? Does Zope have a future with respect to e.g. Enhydra (this is Python versus Java for internet applications)? Does someone have experience with both and can you comment on the learning curve ? Thanks, Henk

Thanks for th pointer Shane, My original attempt with Andy's help was to use the REQUEST's resolve_url. However, the SiteAccess2 product breaks that method. I'll try your suggestions.

Store object2.getPhysicalPath(), which returns a tuple, in object1. To find object2 again, call object1.unrestrictedTraverse(stored_physical_path). Note that this only works in Zope 2.2.x+.

AAKK! I just noticed something... -----8<-- Start Snip --8<----- ZPoPyDA Import Traceback Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 397, in import_products product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python/Products/ZPoPyDA/__init__.py", line 32, in ?

The PoPy module is not installed -----8<-- End Snip --8<----- Notice the paths in the traceback. I have one copy of Zope (no PostgreSQl support) in: /usr/local/Zope And another copy that will need to connect to PostgreSQL is in: /usr/local/EcoZope and ZPoPyDA is in: /usr/local/EcoZope/lib/python/Products/ZPoPyDA/ The traceback is displaying wrong paths. I searched the ZPoPyDA python source for hard coded paths but didn't find any. Is there an environment variable that sets this? Thanks for any help...

Deleting a Role Doesn't Appear to Remove Permissions
by Jason Grigsby 11 Jan '01

11 Jan '01

Today I ran into an issue in Zope where even after you delete a role that the permissions associated with that role exist. If a user has that role assigned to them, whatever permissions where last assigned to that role will be available. To test this, I created a test file with the following code: <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission('Set Access Rule',content)"> foo </dtml-if> I chose Set Access Rule as a permission that is not normally associated with a regular user. Testing this page produced no foo because the user does not have access to the "Set Access Rule" permission on the content object (you could pick any Zope Object to test on). Then I created a test role. I assigned that test role to a user. I again tested the output and got nothing. I then gave the test role the permission to "Set Access Rule". Now when the page is reloaded, foo appears. Here is where it gets interesting. After deleting the test role, foo still appears. This means that the role, while supposedly deleted, still exists and is still assigning permissions. Finally, I create a new role with the same name as the test role I created earlier. This new role had the "Set Access Rule" button already selected--indicating in my mind that the role was never really deleted. If I am correct about this, this means that if we create a role and then delete it, we will need to make sure that the role does not exist for any users or they will continue to have the access that they had before. Has anyone else run into this or seen a reported bug similar? (I searched the Zope Bug Collector to no avail). -Jason
