hi everybody, i can run different versions of zope and login as superuser, setup an other user and change superuser account name and password. unfortunately i don't get authenticated when i want to login as user. means i can do no work with content at all in zope. is it normal that when i go to change the user password it shows a different amount of *s there? how does the authentication work? do any files have to be at special places for authentication? do any files need any special permission for this? my system i have it run under wwwrun:nogroup and the directory /opt/zope is root:root /opt/zope/var is wwwrun:nogroup and 755 except of files Z2.log, pcgi.soc, zProcessManager.pid that are root:root i installed zope 2.2.2, 2.2.4, compiled a 2.2.4, used an rpm, always the same problem latest i used an installation description for suse 6.4 ... -- no help did a lot as you see my system is a suse linux 7.0 with the update to kde2.0 -- soli-con Engineering Zanger Dipl.-Ing.

Membership unable to remember login name
by Dirksen 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

In a test run of membership 0.7.8 product, I login as a member with the option 'remember my name' checked. But next time I visit the login page, the name field is blank. Is that function supposed to be left over, or just something goes wrong with my installation? Dirksen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

by Jason Cunliffe 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

Hello I am looking for realworld workflow tips on using Dreamweaver with Zope. There was a speculativ thread about this some time ago, when UltraDev was being pumped.. There are now all manner of Dreamweaver extensions, both trivial and sophisticated. http://www.macromedia.com/exchange/dreamweaver/ [check out the various categories listed in the 'browse extensions' dropdown menu near top of page] I would love to hear from anyone has been using Dreamweaver with Zope [recently].. How you organize your tasks between Dreamwever features and Zope features, etc? :Have you and problems with site upload from Dreamweaver into ZServer? :Use of Tables to implement zopesite design changes. :Not losing DTML tags.. :handling DTML :managing files locally and their relationship to ZODB thanks - Jason ___________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS['Interactive Art and Technology']

Go for it. You must first fix the problems with the products. *Later*, you may delete everything, that depends on the products. Only then, you may delete the products (from both "Product_Management" and the file system! > i tried chown -R zope * and even tried running it as root. nope. This is unrelated to your current problems. You have objects that refer to products that are no longer there, at least not free of problems. You need to install the products and/or fix the problems with the import. Dieter

Thanks for your reply. I use ZPoPyDA (0.6.4 says the readme). I think I will not apply that patch (thanks nonetheless), because I have no requirements for indexing big amounts of text. And as I understand it, _indexing_ (as opposed to normal searches) is the only action where subtransactions help. My main motivation for posting was to get that problem into the public, so that others may find it while doing desperate searches in this mailing list ;-). And perhaps - if I dare - to suggest to disable subtransactions in ZCatalog by default. cheers, oliver

ZCatalog and LoginManager - be aware.
by Oliver Bleutgen 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

Hi, I just wanted to mention a IMO bad pitfall when using ZCatalog, for the sake of sparing others some time. I'm running Zope 2.2.2 with LoginManager with SQL in a subfolder and was getting the following error when trying to find dtml-documents into ZCatalog: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: commit_sub Traceback (innermost last): File /home/local-extranet/web/zope3/Zope-2.2.2-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /home/local-extranet/web/zope3/Zope-2.2.2-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /home/local-extranet/web/zope3/Zope-2.2.2-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Traversable) File /home/local-extranet/web/zope3/Zope-2.2.2-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 175, in publish File /home/local-extranet/web/zope3/Zope-2.2.2-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 235, in commit File /home/local-extranet/web/zope3/Zope-2.2.2-src/lib/python/ZODB/Transaction.py, line 261, in commit AttributeError: (see above) All other object-types (incuding dtml-methods) seem to work. I have put no restrictions on which files I want found, but restricting something to reduce the number of found objects helps. I fiddled around somewhat and discovered that disabling subtransactions in ZCatalog does help (required for using ZSQL Methods and ZCatalog in the same transaction). Now I use SQL-based LoginManager, but why on earth did it only fail on DTML-Documents? Is it because I have much more of them so only then ZCatalog's subtransactions come into play? Another question, why did the above also fail although I didn't restrict any viewer permissions when searching? (i.e. why got LoginManagers ZSQL-Methods started at all?). cheers, oliver

Re: [Zope] context in Python Script
by Dieter Maurer 28 Nov '00

Chris Gray writes: > .... "context" in external Python Script .... I do not yet know, what an external Python script is. In the old "external methods", you had to use "self" as first parameter. Then (in most cases), you could use "self" inside the function body, as you would now use "context". Maybe, you give it a try. Dieter

What relationship does this have with the context that a new > ZClass instance is created in? "class2" is looked up in this namespace. The top element is asked first for "class2". "class2" is found (by acquisition) from your "class1" Z instance (called "i1"). Thus, what is actually called is (class2 __of__ i1).createInObjectManager(....) "createInObjectManager" looks in "(class2 __of__ i1).aq_parent" (this is "i1") for "_setObject". Apparently, it does not find it there. Then it looks at "i1.aq_parent" (this is the folder, "i1" is contained in). There, it has success and creates the object. Dieter
