authentication II

hi everybody, after a long 10h struggle with installing and running zope i found some interesting things. may anybody be able to explain these to me? i run a suse7.0 system with a suse zope installation on 8080. i changed the access file to a new account name. with this account name i can do everything in zope, add users, add files, copy, paste ... if i add a new user i can not login for adding files ... aren't they made for that? do i understand anything wrong? are they probably only for content access? in previous (non-suse) installations i was allowed to add users to the acl_user with my superuser account but couldn't login to add files with these new accounts. greetings olaf -- soli-con Engineering Zanger Dipl.-Ing.

Re: [Zope] ZCatalog: How to request boolean NOT searches?
by Dieter Maurer 30 Nov '00

Doug Morse writes: > ... negating a ZCatalog index lookup ... Only ZCatalog text indexes support a restricted form of negation. Keyword and field indexes do not. Text indexes support only "and not": e.g. "Zope and not databases". Free standing "not" or combined with "or" (rather than "and") is not supported. Dieter

Zope+PostgreSQL
by Robert Senger 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

Hi all, The ZPoPyDA module refuses to work properly. After several problems installing PostgreSQL (V. 7.0.3), ZPoPyDA (0.7 or 0.5) and PoPy (V. 1.4.1), Zope says at start that to please 'update your version of PoPy'. But I already have the newest available versions. Does anybody have experience with PoPy/ZPoPyDA??? Thanks! -- Dipl.-Phys.

dtml-tree stuff
by Mike Kelland 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

I think I may not have asked a specific enough question last time round. I'll try it again. I've been looking through the How-To's and the documentation and the dtml-tree stuff that I have found seems exceedingly cryptic. The closest that I've come to a solution is the following code: <dtml-in "getAllClientNames(REQUEST)"> <dtml-tree id=clientID branches_expr="getClientsForProjects(get_clientID=clientID)" > <dtml-var company_name> </dtml-tree> </dtml-in> where getAllClientNames looks like: select company_name,clientID from client; and getClientsForProjects looks like: select company_name, clientID from client where deleted = 0 and clientID = <dtml-sqlvar get_clientID type=int>; This gives me a tree structure which, when I expand company1 gives me company1 again and again (ie Company1 Company1 Company1 Company1 etc as deep as I care to go Company2 Company2 etc Company3 Company4 What I'm trying to do is list my company name as the tree branch and have the sub headings of each branch be my projects for that company. Can anyone help? Thanks very much Mike Kelland mike(a)studiomatic.com

Ah, I found it -- Estimate of community size
by Albert Boulanger 30 Nov '00

This was the item is was looking for on how big the Members folders was, FYI. From: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZWN/ZWN-2000-09-26/index_html?pp=1 Zope Web by Ethan Fremen Exorcising Zope.org The extremely large Members folder (11139 of you!) and acl_users folder was causing Zope.org to load nearly 50 MB of "Ghosts" - stateless objects - into memory. The ever resourceful Shane Hathaway jumped in with his BTreeFolders for both the acl_users folder and the Members folder. Now, instead of 26,000 objects loaded at once, only about 1,000 or so get loaded.

adding roles to Zope in Product.initialize()
by Randall Kern 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

I wish to restrict the creation of a class (SpokeSite) to people with the "Add Spoke Site" permission, and in turn only provide that permission to people in the 'Super-manager' Role. When I call ProductContext.registerClass for my SpokeSite class, I can pass the permission argument with the tuple ('Add Spoke Site', 'Super-manager'), which does a good job of limiting the availability of my class (just as I desire). However, I would like my Product to automatically create the 'Super-manager' Role, if it doesn't exists. The bad part is that this role needs to be added before any of my objects exist, which makes it hard... I've got it *working* by cheating, and using the private __app attribute of the ProductContext. Is there a better way for python Products to alter the Zope installation (add Roles, create Folders, etc.) during installation? Thanks! -Randy
